Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

Insufficient arch support. Took ½ size larger and fit was good. Strap over foot comfortable for me, perhaps because I have low arches. Wiggle room in toe box. When I put in a relatively thin orthotics for much needed arch support in these. the strap became too tight and the shoe too small. Returned them. Too bad. Good looking sandal and clever to protect toes.

Oh my gosh, these are SO CUTE. The problem is that the sandal's webbing does not cover any portion of the small toe on my left foot. So, my toe lies completely outside of the opening and catches on the opening's edge when I take a step. I do not have this problem with my right foot. I'm not sure if the problem is with my feet, the sandals, or both. They are so darn cute, I may (in a moment of weakness) consider purchasing them in a different color - with the hope that manufacturing tolerances might be different My foot size is between a 7 and 7.5 and a "B" or "M" width. My right foot is slightly longer than my left. I usually accommodate my right foot. I also ordered the Venice H2 and the Whisper (which I have also reviewed) and decided to purchase the Whisper (my first Keen purchase). Of the three styles, the Rose has the narrowest footbed and the least arch support, and the most refined appearance. There is an elastic band around your ankle which is fairly snug and and additional, adjustable ankle strap for further tightening. My left ankle has about an 8.25" circumference. I found that there wasn't a need for additional tightening. So, the additional ankle strap is just for show (in my case). I don't think of this style as a trekking sandal at all.

The toe box was too wide and the straps bunched up and did not lay flat on top of my foot. The straps over the front of the shoe looked flimsy and I question whether they will last even one season. The Keen Rose Sandal in the aluminum neutral gray color was attractive and will go with many outfits. This is a pretty shoe for casual wear, but if you have narrow feet (2A) like mine, do not buy this shoe.

I remember my older keens being a lot more comfortable. these don't have the same arch support i remember for Keens. the footbed is a plastic so a little sweaty. also the strap is on the tight side. don't think i 'll buy another of these any time soon.

Arch is not as structured as the original keens. If you need a high, rigid arch it will not work.

Narrow!! I have owned many pairs of Keens, all in a size 10. Therefore, I disregarded all the reviews that said to order up half a size and I ordered these in a 10. They were much too small! I ordered the 10.5, and they fit length wise, but are still too narrow to work for my feet, unfortunately. I'm disappointed, because I really like the shoe!

These did not flatter my feet! The design made my feet appear crooked and angled. Nice looking shoe, until I put them on. A more basic pattern of straps over the foot might work better. These had very little arch support and felt flimsy. Returning these.

The fit and size was fine, but the sandals were not comfortable as I would need more support.

Fit but the strap on top was too tight for a person with a high arch

Keen has changed the Rose sandal so that there is no way to adjust the back elastic closure. I could not even get my foot into the shoe, and it's my regular size! In fact, I have an old pair of these that is more flexible in the closure area. The strap is supposed to be adjustable, but there is no way to loosen it. You can loosen the top band, but then you just have extra of that band sticking up, and nothing about the size of the closure is changed. I would not recommend to anyone who doesn't have tiny ankles. Keen, please fix this!! I love the footbed of this shoe!

The strap is not adjustable as it appears in the photo. There is a second fixed strap under it. Although the shoes fit my normal size the box of the toe was not high enough for my toes. I returned the shoes.

I have owned Keen Rose sandals for many years. My old ones were looking a bit shabby, so I ordered my normal size (11) and threw my old ones out. Boy, that was a mistake! The new sandals don't fit at all like the old ones. They were so small. The toe box was cramped and the crisscross straps at the front were very tight. Surprisingly, the ankle straps were also ill-fitting and too small. I could barely get my foot into the sandal. They fit my sister, who wears a size 10, but even she commented that the straps and toe box were tight. Also, the material of the straps were stiff and a bit scratchy. Again, not like the old ones, that were softer and more flexible. I wish Keen would go back to their old design.

I have several pairs of Keens and they all make my problem feet feel great. So I had great hopes for this pretty Rose sandal. Sadly the ankle strap is much too tight for my thick ankle. The ankle strap is fixed/attached -- it only looks adjustable due to the velcro strap over the top of it. That is probably fine for those who need a more snug fit, but miserable on my foot. Sadly these will be returned, and the search continues.

was a bit snug on foot and rubbed. was not comfortable

Fit and Size fine. The only thing wrong is it is not able to be adjusted over the foot (instep) and too tight. A Big disappointment. Has to go back.

Love the style! I ordered my usual Keen size 5, but this sandal fits more like a 51/2 or 6, Very disappointed, as I was looking for something a bit "dressier to wear to my retail job.

I have worn this rose sandal before and loved it. This pair felt a size too short and much narrower than my last pairs like this. So disappointed with keen lately!

Keen, what the heck!? I ordered these confident in finding the great arch support and wide toe that I treasure in my Keens. But no, they seem to have given up on those things and the new ones are poor imitations of what used to be a uniquely excellent shoe. I am so disappointed.

These sandals were right in terms of length and width, but were too deep (aka they are for a high volume foot, not a thin foot). Sadly, had to return.

Too snug, too tight a fit. 2 layer strap across ankle doesn't make sense. You can't adjust the bottom strap.

The shoes fit very well. I have to return it as the straps on the side let my bunion stick out. Also the the fabric of the toe is odd. It would be better if it were of the same material as the straps!

I've been wearing Keen sandals for several years because they're the only shoe I can wear straight out of the box. In the last few years, though, they seem to be having problems with quality control. This sandal is a good example: I can't imagine who over at Keen thought that a UK 3.5/Euro 36 is equivalent to a US 6. I usually take a size 5.5; this size 6 is at least a full size too small for me. I could see before even trying them on that they're much smaller than my last size 6 Keens. This mislabeling is a frustrating waste of time. I've ordered a size 7 because I do like the sandal; I just wish I didn't have to go to all this trouble to get a size that fits.

I have bought this keen sandal for years, same style and size, but they changed several pieces by about a centimeter each —the cloth piece of the toe covering is longer (and uncomfortable) and the rose strap around the front end is 1cm shorter (tighter). Really disappointed as keen quality has been so dependable.

I love this style - I have 2 pairs - but this pair is not ok. The right one is perfect, but the left one is so gappy I can fit several fingers between my foot and the straps near my toes.

Ludicrously narrow. Shoddy materials, skimpy cut, not really adjustable. Done with Keen's.
