Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I'm usually a 9.5 or 10 in shoes. I ordered these in size 10 and they were easily a fully size too large. Even if they had fit they were not attractive on my foot..

Difficult for grandma to get her foot into sandal due to the elastic opening.

Once again I am so disappointed. Just a few years ago I had two pairs of an excellent Keen sandal that walked me all over many miles. This pair is rather wide in the toe area, but that kind of works for me as I do like loose shoes. But I have to send them back anyway because that strap across the ankle, as so many others have noted, does not adjust. I have small and think feet and thought a fixed strap couldn't be too small for me. But of course it is. It has stretchiness to it, but no one wants the feel of the strap constantly stretching as you move. I just don't understand how these shoe companies, and I try them all, can't test their products better.

These run very small! I wear an 8.5 or 9, these 9s were way too small, now trying the 9.5, I really want them to work, but they seem to not fit my foot right, my feet are narrow with very high arch. I really like everything about them, I wish the fit worked.

I ordered this in a size 7.5 and found that it felt a bit short and the strap placements across the mid foot was strange. I exchanged it for a size 8 which solved to weird strap placement, but unfortunately it was way too long. Sending these back, too.

I love this shoe, except... The ankle strap is not fully adjustable, there is a webbing strap under the velcro strap that is just too tight. Had to return these.

Loved the look of this shoe but there is very little arch support. Had to return.

Very disappointed in Keen shoes now....I use to only wear Keen shoes. They have changed the width and what they are made with...I feel the quality isn't there anymore to account for the price

Inflexible straps made this too tight over arch and ball of foot -- too bad, as I like the style. Seemed narrower than other Keens.

These sandals run smaller than other Keen sandals. I wear a nine in another style, but found the 9.5 to fit best in this style. That being said, a 9.5 is more true to my size in footwear. So I would say this sandal runs true to size in general, but not as roomy a fit as other Keens.

The shoes fit fine; however, the insole was extremely uncomfortable on the bottom of my foot, particularly the ball of my foot.

Unfortunately Keen's do NOT have RUBBER soles . . . they are a man made material. I know this because I've tried to have my shoe repair expert add a lift (I have a 2" leg length difference in one leg from a bike accident) and he is not able to successfully work with Keen's to my great disappointment. I have a dozen Merrell hiking boots that fit like a dream, are made well, and get me to all the places I love to explore : )

I got these for our trip to Thailand. I wanted a comfortable shoe that would work for walking around for long periods of time, would be easy to take off, and would be cute with dresses or jeans. These were cute and comfortable, but not as good as I thought they would be. I normally wear a 10 and that's what I ordered, but had to send them back to get a 10 1/2. Also, the ankle strap is NOT adjustable as noted...there is a Velcro piece that lies above an elastic strap, so the adjustability is limited. It ended up being pretty tight across my ankle after walking around all day. I tried many methods to try to stretch that strap out, but nothing worked. If this had been an actual adjustable strap, these would have been perfect. But I did wear them and they were perfect for the day we worked with elephants all day.

good, functional shoe. I wore this on a vacation during a summer, and knew it would be great for pounding the pavement, regardless of occasional rain showers. It wasn't as comfortable as I had hoped: specifically the sole was not very breathable nor did it offer that much arch support (thankfully, it was adequate for my arch). Also, there's no escaping that this is an athletic sandal -- it's not ugly, but it's works much, much better with shorts than a skirt.

I love the idea of the toe bumper on a cream shoe...but the black bumper looked strange with the cream shoe. The shoe bed was also too wide for my narrow foot, making the shoe look even larger than it is. Has zero arch support, and I do not have high arches at all, but it felt like my knees would eventually start rolling inwards. Had to return.

I have mixed opinions about this sandal. On the plus side I love the basic style of the sandal. It is not the chunky hiking sandal. It looks great and I love the gray color. On the negative-Keen seems to have gotten away from being the shoe with great arch support. This is the main reason I started wearing Keens. I have plantar fasciitis and I need great support. Secondly I really do not like that the strap over the top of the ankle is permanently attached and there is only a little elastic to allow it to give. Putting on the sandals in more effort than it should be. At the end of a long day on my feet with hot humid weather the elastic digs into my skin. If the strap was adjustable I could just make it larger to fit the swelling feet. Still not sure if I am keeping these.

These are so cute! I wanted them to work but the toe box is a lot smaller on these than any other Keens I have had. My big toe had constant pressure coming down on it. Will be returning.

I hope I don't have buyer's remorse. I bought this shoes to take to England, have only worn them once. I have packed bandages to protect the top of my toes in case I can't break them in when I wear them. I like the look of the sandal, a bit more elegant them my Keen Newports, the only other shoe I'm taking.

Cute shoes! But unfortunately, the nonadjustable ankle straps is the downfall. It took a lot of effort to get the shoe on over the heel, and once it was on the ankle strap was just too darn tight. These are going back.

Too bad, the 7 was too long and the 6.5, too short! I so wanted these to fit...... I wear wide or extra wide widths and Keen only makes medium width but these sandals have a wider toe box than a similar wide Jambu. These sandals have a lovely, soft, supportive footbed. It seems very well made with surprisingly soft materials and no irritating threads or seam overlaps. Other than not fitting my wide, ouchy feet I was annoyed that my little toes did poke out the gaps in the top of the sandal when I walked.

Strap across the front of the ankle is not just Velcro, it is a stitched-in elastic band underneath that cannot be loosened and I found it too tight for comfortable walking.

Beautiful sandal, would be comfortable with greater volume in the toe box. Unfortunately I had to return them, as my forefoot became very sore after wearing for 30 minutes.

I would have loved this shoe if it was not for the big rubber looking piece on the toe. Otherwise, it could have been so cute, but the toe looks ridiculous and very unfeminine.

Toes stick out! I bought these as a slightly dressier alternative to my Keen Whisper sandals, for an upcoming trip to the Southwest. These are the same size as the Whispers and a pair of Keens I bought a few years ago. However, for some reason my toes stick out between the little straps at the top of the foot. It is a very odd fit, and not a problem I have ever encountered before.
