Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I am "keen" all the way on these shoes! I'm a teacher and need shoes that give me comfort for the long school day and provide some style, too. These shoes do all that and more. I like that they hold on to my foot without cutting off the circulation and have ample toe room without looking boxy. Can't wait to get another pair in another color!

I live this sandal! I have large ankles so the strap just fits. Very comfortable. Wish there was a little more arch support. Definitely the firearm Keens I own. I have the black and just ordered the grape. Order one-half size larger if you have wide feet.

I love this sandal, but it is not going to fit people with a wide ankle or really high arches. The length runs about 1/2 size longer than most Keens, but the problem, just like people have said, is that the narrow strap that runs across the top of your foot does not completely undo, and even at it's loosest setting will feel too tight for wide ankled or high arched feet. I have skinny feet, so my foot swims in the shoe in the toe area, but that is fine as I am using these for drumming performance, and we take many, many small sidesteps and if a shoe is too tight in that area it hurts my pinkie toes. But the top of the foot strap is nearly too tight for me, even on the loosest setting. I love the style of the shoe, it has a super comfortable footbed as long as you don't need lots of arch support. It also is proving extremely durable with all of the abuse I am putting it through. Just beware of the above-mentioned caveats.

Great sandals. I love the styling and the arch support. The soles are substantial for walking on uneven ground. And non-skid. I bought a half size up as advised by other reviewers. I usually wear 7.5, but I ordered an 8. Just right with toe room. I do like to wear light sox to avoid clammy feeling in warm humid weather.

Great shoe! I have narrow feet and high arches. But I can wear these sandals all day without discomfort.

Comfortable right out of the box. Good for walking all day.

I absolutely love these sandals. They are comfortable with fun style. Out of the box, they fit well with no uncomfortable areas. I have worn them while doing errands as well as for walks without any rubbing. True sizing for length. They run longer than Keen's Venice H2 (needed half a size larger in that style).

This sandal is so comfortable. I bought it at a local store and wore it around but there was a knot just over my big toe. When I returned it (with no problem) I was told that the company had no more available and they were so popular. So I came to Zappos, they sent me pair immediately, fit perfect, so comfy, free shipping and later through some mix up they wanted to send me another pair. I called to clear it up (they thought the pair hadn't been sent). I never asked but I got a coupon for my next order and upgrade to Zappos VIP for free next day shipping forever! Pretty neat. But did I say it enough? The best thing is the sandals and so comfy, fit perfect. I can take those long walks comfortably. The toe area is roomy and not tight at all. I've found this to be true with other Kean shoes also. A friend encouraged me to buy Keens said they would fit perfectly and they do.

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.

Very comfy shoe and better looking on the foot than most Keens. It's a bit more feminine. My boyfriend, who usually hates this type of shoe on me, complimented them the other day. Also runs a bit narrower than other Keens, which is good for me. Their other styles are often too wide for me but this one works.

I love these shoes. Bought them put them on and walked miles every day in Paris. Never a blister or a problem. They were comfortable from the get go. You can't go wrong with these shoes.

I love, love, love this sandal! Comfy right out of the box. The worst thing was the smell. They have some kind of antimicrobial coating, which actually bothers me because I'm picky about chemicals. But, I'm wearing them anyway, and really enjoying the comfort. The smell did go away after two days out of the box. One cool thing is that the sandals are machine washable. I haven't tried that yet, but the shoes say so.

Out of the box, onto my feet, and out the door. Cute and comfortable. Can't wear shoes without support and these provide. Thinking another color is in my future.

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 shoes! I'm so happy with mine. My feet are size 10.25 - and what I mean is sometimes 10 is just a little short but 11 is too big and sloppy. I ordered 10.5 and they are a perfect fit! They are terrifically comfortable and I have flat feet. They are cute too!

The Rose sandal is light in weight but offers great support. The negative with most Keen sandals is the heaviness of the shoe and they are too enclosed. This shoe is totally different. I have two colors. It will be my go to shoe this summer.

I love these shoes. I have Keen Venice H2 sandals which I have worn for travel but these Rose Sandals are much more attractive. They were confortable right out of the box.

These arrived so quickly. They are amazingly comfortable - no breaking in - great for walking, and walking and walking. They look pretty good with almost anything casual. Just what I wanted - a sandal that hides my toes but gives them air.

These sandals are adorable and I wanted to love them. They are well cushioned which makes walking in them very comfortable. However, there is not a ton of arch support, they are more flat than contoured. I was willing to overlook the arch support issue, unfortunately, there were two other things about them that are making me return them: 1. As other reviewers stated, the nonadjustable strap underneath the velcro strap is quite snug for those with a high instep. 2. For some reason, my (very short) toenails seem to catch on the seams that run across the toe box of the shoe.

I recommend ordering your regular length in these. Usually with Keen I need a half size larger, but not with these and they're darling and light weight and so comfy. I reordered my regular size and am VERY HAPPY!

These are really cute and lightweight and while they're not marked waterproof, I trust they will repel water well enough that I can get them wet sometimes. I needed the protection of a closed toe but in Texas heat, it's good that they're so well ventilated. I usually find Keen runs small so I originally ordered a half size larger, but those were too loose. My regular size works just right. Also I have a bunion on one foot and the ample toebox gives me plenty of room for all the little tootsies that usually get crowded into whatever space my big toe doesn't claim.

Can't believe how cheaply these are made compared to the Keens I bought years ago that are virtually indestructible. Flimsy leather, unlined where the straps/material used to be lined. So cheap -- can't bear to keep them just on principle. Too bad because they look cute. Also, although the strap over your arch has velcro, there is an elastic strap under it that doesn't adjust so the velcro strap is weirdly just for show since you can't loosen the underneath strap. Glad about the easy return policy. These are headed back to you.

Great sandals - super comfortable - sized exactly as expected. Color is great, toes are comfortable, and there are these comfortable little nubs on the insole that feel great on the feet.

I love these sandals. I would describe my style as efficient, not trendy or up to date. These make me feel more feminine than the hiking sandals would. I have a moderately wide foot (have to order wide in most other shoes) and these (like most Keens) fit perfectly. I was worried about the strap part around the ankle but it does fit my not very slender ankles just fine. These are great sandals and they can take me from the park with my girls to a casual date night with my husband. I am very pleased with my choice and will probably order in black as well.
