Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I loved this shoe, but... They arrived today, I put them on and walked around on my wood and carpeted floors. It was quickly apparent there was not enough arch support. I have owned 5 or 6 pairs of Keen Newport H2 sandals, I wear them constantly, but I wanted something with a little more style. I wish Keen would put more of the Newport H2 soles on some other sandals. I also order Keen flip flops, but they're going back too, sole too thin.

Very cute sandals. However, the straps hit at the bunion area on both feel. Was hoping the fabric would come up high enough onto my foot to avoid that problem. The right sandal felt like it was too big and my foot didn't sit in it correctly. I'm very disappointed to have to send these back, as my favorite hiking boots are waterproof, Keens.

I have had three other pairs of the Rose, including one black one. Bought these as back up pair as I really like them. The right shoe fits completely differently than my previous pairs.

too big and too wide for my feet

They were a bit too narrow for me and the side of my food hung off the edge. In returning them. They look greyhound and were otherwise comfortable

I ordered a 1/2-size larger to accommodate wide-ish feet (plus I am recovering from bunion surgery on my left foot), so the shoes were a combination of too long and too narrow. Unfortunately, I am returning them.

I'm not a sports shoe/sandal person at all, but I have been recently going for long walks in a wooded area so I thought I'd try these. I have flat feet and weak ankles so the footbed is important to me. I bought the gargoyle/raven which is a neutral to cool grey. Pros: 1) These seem to be the least unattractive of the sport sandals out there—almost kind of cute. 2) My usual size 9 fits fine and the toe bed is nice and wide. 3) They seem stable, are close to the foot, and low to the ground, reducing the chance that I will turn my ankle. Cons: 1) Despite Keen's "Metatomical EVA molded footbed with Aegis protection" (whatever that is), I am not detecting any arch support in this shoe. 2) The footbed is so hard! 3) I haven't even worn them outside and the finish is wearing off here and there. ALL THIS SAID, I AM KEEPING THEM. I got them on sale ($86) and with a pair of ProFoot Stress Relief insoles (the fuschia ones) inserted, they are much, much more comfortable; cushiony with arch support. The insoles are clearly not meant for submersion in water, but I'm not wearing these in water.

Too tight across ankle . Cuts in and no way to loosen them. They have to go back

I ordered the 9.5 first, but they were tight across the top of foot, so I ordered the 10 hoping for a better result. Still tight across the top, so I am returning both the 9.5 and 10.

I like Keen shoes however the strap on this sandal does not have enough adjustment for my comfort

Keens are known for a square toebox, which accommodes a wide foot and for providing good arch support. It seems arch support has been compromised over the years. It’s very disappointing. I kept the sandals because they’re nice looking and relatively comfortable. But I won’t be able to wear them for a long day on my feet or hiking. There’s just not enough support.

I feel like the sole of the sandal was unconfortable, it make my feet feel hot and burn. Wanted to like, but just didn't work out

These sandals were really cute, but were not comfortable. I didn't care for the material in the footbed. I have had other Keen shoes and boots and really like them, but these did not make the cut.

These are cute shoes with a nice, large toe box. Unfortunately, the medium width was too narrow for me. I generally wear a medium width, so I was surprised when my foot extended over the slightly raised edge of the outside forefoot of the shoe.

I didn't like the new material the shoe is made of, and it fit a little too loosely.

I own these sandals in three colors. The navy pair came with a white sole, the other three pair came with a beige or gray sole. The navy pair will look dirty after about five minutes of wear. Also did not like the "toe cover" that did not match the shoes. Really need a pair of navy sandals and wanted these to work so will keep looking.

Hidden elastic strap across instep is too tight and makes the adjustable strap on top of it pointless. Also fabric is a bit scratchy on my feet.

I love the shoe. But it rub my bunion and my hammer toe. Thank you.

These just don’t look very good on my feet. The stretchy ankle strap ‘collar’ under the Velcro strap was also a bit awkward and tight. I can see why someone had cut it out. I was hopeful that these would do the trick but I think I’ll be wearing my Merrill sandals another year.

Nice, but needed more of an outdoor boat and hiking shoe. choose the keen whisper.

I love Keens, but the velcro strap was too tight even for my narrow foot. Next time I'll try 8.5 instead of 8.

These felt great when I first put them on - perfect fit, toe box was great and seemed to be just the right length. Then I walked 5 miles on my treadmill and ended up with blisters on my lower heels, just where the shoe bed meets the back of my foot. I've never had this happen with sandals. Sadly, I waited too long to check them out and now I'm stuck with them.

Alas, there were spots in this shoe by the outside of my ankle that rubbed. I knew that I wore this for a city block, I'd get a blister. Could I have worn this with socks? Yes, but how dorky is that - especially because I need these as water shoes! So after a tryout on carpet, back they go.

This sandal is great. I put them on and wore them comfortably the rest of the day, which is rare indeed.

Either my feet have widened in one year (even though I’ve lost 25 pounds) or something isn’t right with these. This is my fourth pair of this style, Rose Keens (same size/width) in 8 years, and I was surprised that as soon as I put them on they kind of bothered me. They felt a little narrow. Maybe they were made in a different country with slightly different specs? I’m going to return them.
