Customer Reviews KEEN Rose 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.

I am so disappointed with these sandals - because I ordered a 7 rather than a 6½ which seemed to be advised per other reviewers. I usually wear a 6½ to 7 and reviews advised to go to slightly larger size. Big mistake, especially with such expensive shoes. I did not realize the extent of the problem until I had worn them and of course now I cannot return them. I actually think the shoes are super cute and comfortable if only they were a little smaller. No more online shoes for me.

Absolutely loved the look of these; however, could not even get them on. So disappointed. I wanted to keep them so badly. I wish Keen would restyle these so they opened up across the heel or instep. The stretch just isn't enough. A larger size would not have worked either. I have a high instep and if they opened completely up they would have gone on. I wish Keen would also make a wide in some of their dressier styles.

Nice looking shoe, but I have a bunion which the strap cut into. I liked the shoe so I bought it to a shoemaker which he sewn a purple suede piece underneath connecting all the straps on the inner part of both sandals, so far so good they are very light weight but, run narrow for a Keen shoe.

These are really pretty sandals - the only reason I'm not keeping them is because the straps are very light, like ribbons - they can really only be worn as sandals, not also with heavy socks like the Keen Newports I am trying to replace!

I love Keens with my whole soul. However, I did not LOVE these. People were saying these ran true to size, so I ordered my typical size and they were much too small. I ordered the next 1/2 size up and they fit better. But like some people mentioned the ankle strap is kind of uncomfortable. It is not just the velco, but there is a piece of elastic underneath the velcro. I was not a fan.

Great style, lightweight and overall comfortable, but unfortunately not much arch support at all. Purple color is knockout, back strap rubbed some at first but then ok. I recommend ordering a half size up.
