Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I really wanted to love these but the other reviewer is correct: There is really no arch support at all. Had to return.

I love the way they look. But I have two problems with them. First, the material that the bottom is made of feels very hot against my foot. Also, one of my little toes hits the top in such a way that it keeps poking through one of the holes in top, which is uncomfortable.

Wonderful walking sandal. No problems with sore feet hurting after walking for long periods in urban settings! Biggest problem however is the VELCRO fastener. It does NOT hold up at all. The velcro loosens and falls off the strap. Have had to have them both repaired often.

Unfortunately, the ankle strap hit me high on the ankle and was a mix of fixed & adjustable strap. There is a bit of elastic so you can slide your foot in, but it was too tight and made them uncomfortable, so I had to return them.

Cute and comfortable. The only problem is the ankle strap which is too short to connect with the other side of the Velcro. I have wide feet and thick ankles. This shoe would be perfect if the ankle strap was one inch longer.

Super cute. A little more streamlined, and toe not as obviously "boxy" as most Keens. But I had 2 issues: the ankle strap is somewhat adjustable, but not completely. Even at its loosest position, the non-adjustable part of the strap is pretty tight. Stretchy material, but tight nonetheless. The other issue, which someone else mentioned, is the piece of fabric located across the tops of the toes, just under the straps and toe box. It hits the toes in a strange way that feels like your toes could slip out from under it at any moment. Seems like it would drive me crazy, so sadly, these are going back. Lighter weight and cuter than the Whisper sandal.

This shoe is so so cute and it looks good on but...I am used to Keen webbing being leather backed. These are not. There is no give in the "ribbon" material. There is a permanent neoprene band across the instep plus a strap? The neoprene band should have replaced the ribbon bands coining across the widest part of the shoe and I think then it would be perfect. Instead, it is so tight it pinches and is not comfortable to walk in. A narrower foot maybe.

This is a pretty sandal, and while the footbed is comfortable, there is a piece of leather under the straps above the toes that was really uncomfortable I had to return them.

Wanted to love them. Really cute but right and left are not the same size. They are going back

I wore these sandals for sightseeing in Europe this fall, and they were very comfortable. Unfortunately the strap on one of them came apart into 2 pieces (top and bottom), so they are still functional but don't look as nice. Not as durable as other Keen's I have owned. I have worn my hiking boots for years.

I love the look of this sandal, especially with capris, but was disappointed in the fit. I bought them to take on a trip to Cambodia, thinking they'd be easy to slip off at the many temples we'll be visiting in that country. However, the fixed strap inside the adjustable strap makes them very difficult to put on. For me, it requires a chair and a lot of tugging. The strap is also tight. I'm keeping them for times when I won't be wearing them for hours but will look for something else for traveling until Keen changes the strap design.

I love the style and comfort but they smell! They claim that they don't but it's is far from true. I have to clean them weekly to keep it under control.

These sandals are cute, fit well, and were comfortable right out of the box. However, compared to the earlier Balboa style of Keen sandal they are much hotter. I find that after I wear my Rose sandals for a few hours my feet are uncomfortably hot because of the foam lined toe cap that covers the entire toe area and all the straps around the front of the foot. I love Keen shoes and wish Keen would bring back the Balboa, which I am also still wearing and find much more comfortable.

I loved the look of these sandals and they would have been ideal except for the ankle strap. Why is there a non-adjustable nylon and elastic strap attached to the adjustable upper strap? This terrrible design flaw became uncomfortable and made my feet swell after wearing them in the house for a couple of hours. I hate that I have to return them.

These might be the ugliest shoes I've ever owned and thus I'm debating to send them back. But they are oh so comfy; like walking on air. I've had a problem with plantar fasciitis (bottom of heel inflammation) when walking very long distances in the past and I'm sure I'd have no problem wearing these.

I love the way they look. I wish they fit. The ankle strap is not completely adjustable and placed my foot too far back in the shoe. The 7 was too small and the 7.5 was too big.

I liked this shoe as far as looks but it did not have much of an arch support at all. I was hoping for a shoe with good arch support. I am returning it.

Pretty cute for Keens. I practically live in Keens but they are mostly pretty funky looking. I can actually wear these to work and get away with it. If worn without socks, the toe area takes some getting used to. I like the adjustable strap and it has moderate support. Most importantly, I measure a size 10.5 but got the 11 and can't imagine going smaller. If you have wide feet, you must size up!

Good looking shoe but very little adjustability to fit narrower feet. My feet were just swimming in the toe box making the shoe fit feel sloppy. I returned them and opted for the Whisper mule that offers greater adjustability.

This is a really attractive sandal, but unfortunately has no arch support. I have flat feet...might work for someone who doesn't need the support I do. It seemed like it would be comfortable otherwise. Grape a nice shade of purple...not too bright.

I wanted to like these more because the purple color and style are fabulous, but there are a few things not quite right. First, the soft leather seems a bit flimsy. I dont see how they will hold up in the long run. Second, the rubber part around the toes kind of pinches my big toe. Third, the size was a tad too big. I would probably fit a 9.5 just fine. But I just do not think they will work for my needs. I want to be able to wear them hiking or camping and in the water.

The arch support was not as firm or as supportive as I would have liked. Otherwise it is a very nice shoe. The fit was perfect.

These are super cute- unfortunately the fabric covering the toe is not long enough and rubs really bad across my feet. I tried going a size larger and it made it worse, yet going a size smaller would have made them too small for my toes. Had to send them back.

Love Keen's. Own several pairs. This was a more stylish pair, and that's why I ordered them. I believe I got the right size, but my toes get caught in all the cutout spaces, which is not very comfortable, and as you know with Keen's you use these shoes for all kinds of activities. So I'm sadly returning.
