Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I love the style, and the fit is very good. The only problem is that I need a lot of arch support, and this sandal has only the smallest "swell" where the arch should be. So I got some of those "invisible arches" and put in the sandals. However, the footbed does not stick to the adhesive on the wedges. So I will have to use some double-sided carpet tape to hold the wedges in place. If that does not add enough thickness, I can try adding another supporting insert. Is there any chance that Keen will make a similar sandal with dependable arch support?

Stylish, comfortable, practical sandal. The color - to me - is more khaki, with the footbed as aluminum. Smaller fit than the Keen Clearwater or Whisper. I have owner/worn a pair of Clearwater in 8 1/25 for years but needed a 9 in the Rose style. Only concern is that the strap near the ankle is a little uncomfortable. Although there is an adjustable strap across the ankle, the "base strap" is fixed and keeps this area from being completely adjustable. If I had thinker ankles, I would not be able to wear this sandal.

Fit was a bit generous, but OK, gorgeous shoe, comfy, BUT, there is a piece of fabric over the toe area that rubbed on my big toe cuticle and made a blister. Very disappointed bc these shoes are light, pretty and otherwise very comfortable. Thank you Zappos for the easiest shoe shopping on earth. Love you guys. . .

Returned the Rose sandal for the third time due to sizing. First got a size 6, too small-granddtr couldn't even get her foot in it. Got a size 7 but had to return b/c the toe cap on one shoe was defective in my opinion as the cap was pushed in where cap and fabric meet causing pain & irritation top of the foot. Rec'd a perfect size 7 but granddtr said the heel strap hurts when she was wearing around the house. Decided to end this and return w/o trying for a size 7 1/2. This style may just not be a good fit. Will look into other Keen styles in the near future. Great return policy that's why I shop Zappos.

Keen normally runs a bit wide in the forefoot for me, and these are no exception. However, the straps keep my foot in place pretty well and the extra room will allow for socks on a cool day. (Yes, I live in Seattle where we wear socks with our sandals because we wear sandals not just in the summer). These seem as if they will be nice travel and camping shoes. Very lightweight. A bit clunky looking. Don't think I'd wear them with a dress, but certainly fine with jeans or shorts. My usual size in closed-toe shoes is 8M. The 8M is a little long for me, so I'm ordering a 7.5 to see which is best. Thanks, Zappos, for making this super easy for me!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They're cute and seem like they'd be comfortable except--first off, they're just a little to short. The width is fine for my medium width feet, but my big toe touched the front and that's not good. Also, there was insufficient arch support. I don't have super high arches, but there was no support for me. Another thing was that the insole felt a bit too textured. I wasn't sure if my feet wouldn't get sore with a lot of walking or exercise. So... back they went. I got Teva's instead. I'd recommend ordering a half size up.

Cute shoe! It was not easy to get on since the ankle strap does not open completely. So I am returning them.

I purchased these Keens because they were a little dressier & more feminine than my Newport H2s. They are adorable and comfortable. Because they are what I desired: feminine, they are missing the thick soul comfort of the H2s. I will continue to wear my Newport H2s for longer walk hike/tours and utilize these Rose Sandals for lighter wear and shorter walks. These are definitely adorable. I ordered the blue color because they were on sale and love them.

This pair was 1/2 size smaller than the pair I purchased 2 years ago.

I really like the Rose Sandal. They're simple in design and fit very well. I appreciate the support Keen adds to their shoes and these are great.

They are really cute and comfortable. However, they don't feel durable enough for my purposes. I think they would be great for general wear.

I am a big fan of Keen shoes and have many pairs but I bought the Rose sandal after seeing them on a person I met on a biking trip. They look nice with a dress and are just as comfortable as the more rugged styles.

I really liked the fit and feel of these shoes, but not the huge rubber piece that comes up over the toe. They'd be great for hiking with that toepiece, but look pretty weird for just around town. The pinkish purple color was great, but unfortunately couldn't get past that huge toe piece.

Love these cute little shoes. Unfortunately, the toe box is way too wide for my foot. I don't consider myself to have narrow feet by any means, so this was disappointing. As I read a couple of others write, where did the arch support go? I disagree with the 68% who said moderate arch support. There isn't any. Well made shoe with quality materials. Design and cut need some work.

I loved the shoes at first, but after a short time of wear, they began to feel very loose on my feet. I had to pull the strap over way too far. This is a perfect shoe for a wider width foot. I am sad as I really like the overall look and feel of the shoe, but my foot is slipping about when I walk.

These are adorable sandals, nicely styled, quite lightweight, and you can get them wet. I was SO hoping they would work for my very high arch. Unfortunately, they did not. But my granddaughter loves them so I do not need to return them. Also, for my Keen Clearwater's, I required a half size larger. For these, I ordered my "normal size" (8). They were sufficiently long. I do not think I would have wanted the longer one, but nothing would have fixed the arch support and they wouldn't work very well with inserts. (In case it helps, my foot is a broad medium in the ball, but the heels are more narrow. A wide shoe is too wide.) Now I just need something exactly like them, but with a high arch! I keep looking at the Venice, which might have more arch support, but looks much bulkier and wouldn't work for a slightly less than casual situation (these would have).

I love the look and feel of these shoes. My only wish is that the straps were adjustable they are just a bit loose on my feet at the back heel so my foot slides a little. Not enough to cause a blister but still just a tiny bit annoying since I walk at least 5 miles a day.

This is a nice looking shoe that fit well on top. However there was not enough arch support for me. I was disappointed because the straps hit me in the right places and felt comfortable right out of the box. But my ankles "rocked" inward in the standing position. (sad face)

These shoes were comfortable as soo as I tried them on. Good support for people with narrow feet. I have been a fan of Merrell's and was unsure about keen. No problems! Can't wait to wear them more.

The sole is soft but does not provide arch support, but I liked the style.

This is a great shoe for many purposes-anything from simple walks, running after kids, errands, or light trails. I don't know if I trust the more delicate straps for serious and potentially muddy hiking like I trust my other KEENS, but they are great for everything else. I even jogged a mile (in a hurry) wearing them my first day, and no issues.

These sandals are just ok. The neutral color is rather drab and dull. They are mostly comfortable, but there is an elastic band under the strap that is not adjustable and that makes them feel tight. I can imagine as the weather gets hotter and my feet sweat/get bigger, this unadjustable strap could get uncomfortable, so I am returning them. They are not cute enough to keep.

Love these shoes but they are too tight on my big toe.

I ordered half size larger and my foot was swimming in it. I have a narrow hell but wide toe box. I thought the styling was pretty cute.

Very attractive shoe for Keens. The toe straps are really nice looking, but the ankle strap rides very high across the top of your foot/ankle, and is not really adjustable (it's elastic so it only stretches so far) so they had to go back. If they were a lot cheaper, I would have kept them to see if I could break them in.
