Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

These felt quite small -- at least half a size smaller than advertised. I'm surprised others didn't mention that in their reviews.

Such a cute sandal but way too small for the size I usually take in Keens. The return process was very easy and I will try Keens again.

Ordered a 9 instead of my usual 8 1/2 based on other reviews, but these were so tight I couldn't even get them all the way on. If you have a high instep, these will be a big problem.

All the straps and gaps between them just didn't look right to me. Plus, I was looking for something I could slip on and the ankle straps prevented that.

I have two pairs of Rose bought previous years that I love: comfortable and cute. The same size purchased this year were a half an inch shorter and I returned them

disappointed in Keen support. not the usual quality!

I have a skinny foot and I felt like my skin was coming through the straps. I loved the feel under my foot so I"m disappointed....

I returned these after trying to like them for weeks - they're super lightweight, which I liked. However, my toes were ushered one direction and that was not s natural feeling.

Wanted to love these shoes.. but the size is so off, I where 8.5 or 9, had to get a 9.5. I have a narrow foot and high arch, my foot keeps sliding back and too much room in the front, the back is not adjustable. Am going to take them to my shoe repair store to have the sew the back strap tighter. I wore them so too late to return.

Lovely shoe. But the strap across the top of the foot is too tight. It is elastic and does not adjust. Unfortunately, they will be returned.

I had a pair of these from 2 seasons ago and they fit great! I wore them constantly and just tossed them to force myself to buy a new pair. Mistake. The new ones feel a half size smaller and are lacking any arch support. I really think that the pair that I got is either mislabeled (really a 6 though labeled a 7) or they so drastically changed the style that I need to size up.

I'm returning this shoe unfortunately. I really, really wanted to like it but it rubs on the top of my left foot in particular and only after a very few minutes of testing the shoe in the house. Some other reviewers also commented on the failure of having an adjustable ankle strap on the shoe. I can just tell I would be miserable very soon in this shoe. Thanks Zappos for having such a nice return policy!

All my Keens are size 7 and are roomy and comfortable. I have a high arch and I could not even get my foot in these because the ankle strap could not be loosened. I did love the style and am disappointed.

Sorry to have to return these. The ankle strap has a nylon strip that is not adjustable and is too tight for my foot. This seems like a design flaw as the upper velcro strap is not really doing anything and cannot be looser than the nylon strap just below it.Too bad since they otherwise look great.

I was excited to see a blue violet color, and prettier style, however, the strap is too narrow,too high and uncomfortable. :( so sad these don't feel good, Keens are my favorite! I should have grabbed my favorite style in purple when I had the chance, they don't seem to make them in purple anymore. (Venice H2)

I recommend either getting a size up and wearing socks all the time for air circulation, or simply buying a different pair of sandals with a better design for the foot cushions. These sandals have a problem with air circulation for the bottoms of your feet. After less than an hour, the bottoms of your feet can become sticky just from wearing the sandals (without walking or running), as even the slightest amount of moisture stays around without evaporating. (I would return these if I could, however I accidentally spilled something on them while in the kitchen the day after I received them!)

Feels great, costs enough, sounds cheap. Since when did choosing vegan mean "I'm willing to announce it to the whole world by having squeaky shoes?" This is not the first pair of shoes I've had that gets squeaky with the smallest amount of wear. The shoes are comfortable enough - I broke them in during a super touristy weekend trip with plenty of walking - but just one hour's worth of foot sweat and they started making a rubbery beep with every step. Since I already wore them that much, I won't be returning them, but for the amount I paid, I wish that I could keep wearing them without worrying if everyone is going to hear me coming. I love that they have a little "V" on it, that's a quiet enough statement about my compassion for animals. But vegans get enough flack for being the "loud and preachy" stereotype, without our shoes saying, "Oh hai, I'm here! Can you hear me being a vegan all the way down to my toes? Look!"

Very flimsy material. These sandals look like the ankle strap will completely open but it doesn't. This makes it difficult to get them on for people with wide or large ankles. I was hoping this Keen style was different. (Need better pictures.) My teen has too much trouble getting them on and they will never take the abuse like other Keen styles. Will have to send them back and try a different brand.

I loved the design of these shoes but was very disappointed in them. I have several other pairs of Keens and have always been impressed by the quality and fit. I wear a 5½ or 6 and a 6 in Keens has always fit. As other reviewers have noted, the inner strap is not adjustable. The strap on the left shoe was comfortable, but the shoe itself was very loose across the top of my foot. The strap was on the right shoe was noticeably tighter and was uncomfortable. Across the top of my foot, it fit well. I was disappointed in the quality of the nubuck and thought it seemed thin and cheap. The Velcro on the top strap was not sewn all the way across and had strings that were untrimmed on one shoe. The other one had Velcro that was not trimmed completely and a small piece was left hanging on the strap. This pair was definitely not up to the quality that I have come to expect from Keen. Sadly, I will have to return them.

For those used to the larger toe box of the other style of Keen sandals, this is much narrower and jams my big toe. A half size larger was too long and my nail would catch the toe bumper. Very disappointing for a cute style.

These sandals are cute but the quality was incredibly poor. Not at all what I would expect from Keen. The straps were fraying and coming apart at the seams right out of the box. I won't be keeping them.

I really wanted these shoes to work, but they are oddly proportioned. They felt a bit small with tighter straps across the toe box. The straps also seemed rather thin and cheaply made. As others note, it is supposed to be adjustable but there is a fixed elastic strap. I wedged my foot in to try it on and then it looked too long. Not a comfortable "roomy" shoe that I can see wearing all day touring and hiking about. Because of the odd proportions (tight straps but too long) they were not cute at all on my foot. So, they were a miss. I was also disappointed in the burnt henna/bombay color. I was expected a vibrant orangy/red but they were more of a dull rust. I have had some Keen clogs that I love for years, these just didn't live up to that standard. They felt more poorly/cheaply made and not as much arch support.

This shoe is oddly flat at the toes. The foot bed fits, but toe box seems to be designed for a big toe that's only 1 cm high. I'm a nurse and I don't think I've seen adult feet with toes that flat. Otherwise, these seemed to fit; my Keen lace-ups fit fine except for being too wide. I'd hope I could stretch the leather of these at the toe, but the rubber toe cap would never stretch any taller. Have to send these back.

Needs slight arch support and an elastic type strap across the instep or an adjustable strap. I have these shoes and they are fairly comfortable, but I had to cut and sew the strap to keep it from cutting off the circulation in my feet. Keen you could have done better.

Love the look of this sandal. The problem with it is that under the velcro closure is a very tight not so stretchy strap that puts alot of pressure on top of your ankle. I do not have a fat foot but the sandal squeezed by foot so tight I ended up with fat foot from the swelling. I ended up giving them away. Otherwise they would have been comfortable and sturdy.
