Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

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.

This shoe is so cute but I cannot wear it because the ankle strap is too tight. There is no way to loosen it since it is connected with elastic. I don't know what the purpose of the Velcro is since the strap is permanently affixed to the shoe. There also was not enough arch support for my foot as I am prone to plantar fasciitis. I had to return these shoes.

I wish I'd read the reviews before I ordered. Reviews are right-on. The top, fixed strap (not 3-way velcro adjustable) cut in in so tightly at first try-on, I knew I wouldn't be able to go through a day in them. I looked for a Wide, but not available.

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.

Disappointed! I suspected the toe box would not be tall enough for my foot, and I was right. But the disappointing part is, while the ankle strap is velcro, that bit covers an elastic band that encircles the entire ankle. That made the shoe more difficult to get on and often resulted in my little toe hooking through the gap of the straps. Once on, the shoe was comfy though - even with the squeeze.

BEWARE - this is not our favorite ROSE Sandal. This would have been my third pair of these sandals, but OUCH! What a pinch across the arch!!! I'm almost blistered from my walk across the living room. I still have my last pair so did some measuring. These are a half centimeter narrower across the arch. SO BACK THEY GO!

These are very small for the size. More like a 9 than a 10.

They added stretch materials under the straps to make it feel so tight. It was uncomfortable wearing the sandals now. I had the old one but disliked this new designs to make it feel tighter. I am disappointed with their new designed.

Other reviewers have mentioned the neoprene ankle strap BUT I am not sure they emphasized it. This not a strap but rather a set,immovable ankle piece. That piece made it extremely difficult to pull on the shoe and then, once on, was very uncomfortable. I am unsure of its function, other than to make people miserable.

had assumed the back strap would be the same as the shoe I purchased previously. The new strap had barely any stretch in it and was nearly impossible to get on.I loved the old version-why do you have to change a good style. I have returned them.

The material feels stiff and unpleasant. The shoe feels chintzy. The photos of it on the Zappos site look better than the shoe itself is.

I have worn Keens for years and have another pair of the Rose Sandal which I like. This pair, however, is different. The toe box feels restricted and the length seems too long for the ball of the foot. Very uncomfortable and painful. Will return.

The shoes are cute, butI have a wide foot & a bunion on one foot. I was unable to even get my foot in! I had read previous comments that stated the shoes fit their wide foot. Not so for me!

I have narrow feet so mine would slide all over the inside and cause blistering.

The right shoe was shorter than the left!

This sandal wasn't comfortable at all. Pinched my toes in several spots. Sole felt good and supportive. Loved the green color, but the material had a moldy smell. Return.

I couldn't even get these on my feet because the ankle strap is fixed and not adjustable or stretchy. I had to send them back. I love Keen sandals but they have discontinued all of my favorite sandals (like the Bali) - so I am very disappointed. Guess I'll look for a different brand but I don't think anyone else makes sandals with the toe bumpers that I love.

Super cute! Wish they fit, I was surprised that they were small and narrow. I thought for sure Keen would be normal to wider width. 7 was too small and narrow.

This shoe is not described accurately by Zappos and if you have a wide foot or a high instep, you won't even be able to get you foot into the shoe (my experience). It was a very disappointing buying experience and Zappos should re-do it's video to accurately show how the shoe is actually designed and how you put it on so there is full transparency about the design of this shoe.

This sandal is NOT correctly described. The velcro that closes at the top is very misleading. There is an attached strap that is barely stretchable that your foot has to fit through first and THEN you can "adjust", across your ankle, which is absolutely ridiculous. If you are someone with a wide foot and high instep, avoid this sandal. You will never even be able to get your foot through the fixed strap across the ankle. Seriously, Zappos, this was a HUGE disappointment and you should do a much better job showing exactly how a shoe is designed and how it works. What a waste of time to buy and have to return. Both the description and the video for this sandal were completely misleading and inaccurate.
