Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

This is my first pair of Keen shoes. I'm accustomed to wearing Birkenstocks and the arch support does not compare. I am also sensing a raised area just behind my pinky toes. It isn't exactly uncomfortable but I wish there was more arch support to counter this. I like the ankle strap and toe protection for my active lifestyle. However these seem shorter in length than other shoes. I usually wear a size 10 sandal. I heard they might run small so I ordered 10.5 and 11. My toe was touching the inside of the rubber toe of the 10.5 so I decided to keep the 11, however the shoe feels a little wide. This may allow it to be cooler, the structure and ankle strap keep my foot from sliding around. The muted color and style are nice. I'll have to wear them for a while to see whether there is adequate support for all-day comfort for me.

I ordered a pair of these last year and love them. This pair seems to fit differently though its the same size. Rubs on my big toe. Am going to have to return.

My daughter said they are not the most comfortable keens she had. The strap in the back of the foot give her a blister. After a week or two she broke them down and they are ok now

I rreally liked the look and fit of the Keen Rose Sandal. However I have an high arch and this arch was lower than my need. I'm a very big fan on Keen shoes and will find another perfect pair.

Great color and style but they run about half size mall. I wear a 6.5 in sandals and boots and have 2 other pairs of keen sandals of this same style and size and they fit fine. I was very disappointed this new pair didn't fit and made an exchange for the same sandals in size 7. I hope they fit!!

Loved this sandals but as many other reviewers said, and I ignored, they are very tight around the ankle area. I took them to a shoe repair shop and had them add almost 3/4 in, just enough for the Velcro to close and voila - problem solved. Went to Guatemala and wore them everyday for a whole week and no problems. Just perfect for all the activities.

These Keen Rose sandals are a bit more narrow and smaller than my other Keen sandals. The ‘adjustable’ Velcro strap is not so adjustable...in fact, it’s more ‘decorative’ than really adjustable. There is a solid strap across the top of the ankle which can be too snug and no way to loosen it. They are attractive and comfortable for me, but if your feet tend to swell, maybe order up a size or chose another style.

I bought a pair of these quite a long time ago, when they first came out. I liked them so much, I bought a second pair. They are looking tired, so I just ordered another pair. New colors now, and new material. Also, regrettably, the quality of the shoe isn’t nearly as good as the original shoe. Why do companies do this???? I’m trying to decide whether or not to send them back. ??

I was surprised that this shoe ran small. It was at least 1/2 size too small. I have other Keen shoes that have all run true to size. Unfortunately, I will be returning these.

These are cute for a sandal that provides good protection for your feet. However, they do not work for anyone who has a high arch. The strap across the top of your arch cannot not be adjusted (even though it looks like it can in the photo) and it is very tight.

Too tight around the toes, a wider version would be better. Not sure if they stretch out or not, I bought same shoe at another location and they were comfortable the moment I put them on my feet. I am thinking there is some inconsistency with sizes. Had to return, just too uncomfortable.

great shoe; very cute and looks reasonable with skirt or casual dress, as well as pants, capris, etc. Unfortunately, as many other reviewers have mentioned, there is an elastic ankle strap UNDER the adjustable strap , which is not adjustable,has stitching I could feel on the underside and feels noticeably snug around the ankle . Maybe not a problem for those with slender feet and ankles, but I could not get used to it and worried about it causing blisters on a hot , humid location vacation with lost of walking, so I am sending them back

I agree that there is not enough arch support. However, I am keeping them because they fit well with a wide enough toe box and my heels don't slip out. The strap near the ankle fits my foot fine, probably because I have skinny, low volume feet. I do notice that my toes get sweaty, but I wanted a closed toe sandal that can get wet, so I guess that's the price I have to pay. They are definitely cuter than my Teva Tirras, but the Teva's are more comfortable with much better arch support. I wish they made that shoe with a closed toe.

I've had a pair of the Whisper sandals for years and I love them in terms of comfort and durability, but I wanted a more stylish pair that gave me same toe protection and comfort. I normally wear a size 9 shoe, but the 9 in this was a bit snug so I went with 9.5. Overall I'm happy. They are cute and are almost as comfortable as my Whispers. My arches and insteps are high. Even with that, the elastic at the ankle is not uncomfortable, although I wouldn't mind if it had a bit more give. My arches don't make contact with the soles so there is no arch support for me, but maybe it would be there for flatter arches. I find these comfortable and expect to be able to wear them for long distance walking, just like my Whispers.

I purchased a pair in this style at REI and I loved them. Perfect fit...so comfortable that I don't want to wear other shoes. (and my other shoes are also Clarks, Sofft and other brands that are known for comfort). The upper ankle strap can feel a little tight but it is possible to adjust. I got in a full size larger since they were otherwise tight in the toes. I normally wear 8.5-9 and these are 9.5. They aren't as sporty looking as other styles so you can get away with wearing them with pants at work (if reasonable casual environment) without looking like you're going on a hike or a river rafting adventure. I liked them so much that i purchased another pair on line, same size and style, but different color. They ended up feeling much wider and bigger than my first pair so I will have to return. Such a hassle--now I'm afraid to get them again online if the sizes are inconsistent.

I have foot issues. A couple of foot issues. I have one normal arch that is flexible and one bordering on high that is stuff. I have arthritis in both feet and the beginning of a bunion on one. This shoe is comfortable. It gets my doc's approval for arch support and shock absorption. I feel the footbed hugging my arches just right. If you have incredibly high arches you might want a bit more cushion. If you want a shoe that gives you an artificially high arch try Vionic. This shoe is arch "support" the way my doc says it should be. It is not an overly aggressive orthotic device. I personally will buy one in every color. True to size for me and just wide enough to work for my problem feet.

I have these shoes in black, and just love them. I wanted to get them in a tan. I love the color, and, again, the style, but find the beige tighter across the instep. As soon as I put them on, they are starting to cut into my instep. So sad to have to return them.

The reviewers are right about the fixed strap under the Velcro at the top of the foot. Initially, I thought this would be a problem. But I wore the shoes for five hours, right out of the box, and it was fine. This might make me not choose these for serious walking. But the arch support sold me on keeping these. The slate gray is a pretty, neutral color.

Still trying to decide if they fit. I wear a 9, ordered a 9.5, and they're just at the limit of being too small. I'll have to keep my nails clipped or they won't fit! Very narrow. Can't wear even thin socks with these. Hard sole. Love the color and style.

Very cute and good arch support but small.

The size for these was right on for me, but they lacked the arch support I enjoy with my other Keens. I'm disappointed because these were a little less "rugged" and I was hoping to wear them around town more. I guess I'm going to end up going with comfort over style and order the H2s now. Bummer. Loved these except the arch support.

Bought these for my mom and she loves them. Very comfortable. Did have to order a 1/2 size up but otherwise she had no complaints.

I bought these shoes for a Sept. trip to Washington, DC. I was looking for a sandal that would provide support and a little style for walking on city streets. Because of the season change these were the only Keen sandals that were available in my size (10-10.5)and in a neutral color. Not my first choice but they were comfortable and did pretty well. I really don't like the Maryjane look but I got over it. I wish I had had a second pair of comfortable walking sandals for the trip since I was unable to switch shoes and ended up with a lot of foot fatigue on the third day.

I love these sandals. Sporty and cute. I am a true 7.5 and they fit perfectly. They have enough support to wear all day. I was worried about rubbing/blisters around the straps, but they were fine after a full day at an outdoor adventure park.
