Customer Reviews KEEN Kona Flip

The Keen Kona Flip is perfect for the purpose I want it -- to wear right after leaving the pool. I needed something that was easy on/off and waterproof as they will constantly be getting wet with pool water. I don't really like flip flops in general and had considered other Keen sandals that were not flip flops. But, I settled on the Kona Flip because it is easy on/off and serves the purpose I need. They are slightly larger than I would like -- I am a true size 9 and could probably have done with an 8.5 in these but am not sure. The width is fine. They are very supportive for a flip flop and do have support built in. I rated them a 5 star on style because even though I don't care for flip flops these are very attractive and I didn't want to rate them down just because I don't really like flip flops. Same thing for comfort -- all flip flops are somewhat annoying to me because I don't like the thing between my toes, but again, that is the nature of flip flops, and I didn't want to penalize these for that reason. For the genre, they are much more supportive and substantial than the plastic flip flops from drug stores. So, gave them five stars for comfort. The lower overall rating is just because they did feel larger than a 9 should be to me but again, for my purposes, they are fine. I do not plan on doing a lot of walking in them. For someone who wants to wear them as a true sport sandal, they might have to try two sizes.

Don't care for the texture of the molded foot bed. The "ridges" bother my feet.

I wanted to love these. As another reviewer wrote, I am a true 10.5 and ordered that size. The straps on these are entirely too big and seem like they would accommodate a man’s foot. These are definitely not true to size.

Loved the look of these and thought they would be my summer flip flop. 9.5 was too big and 9 fit but footbed shape didn’t match my foot. Toes overflowing a bit and arch not comfortable. These would be great for someone for whom the footbed is a match. Cute!

This shoe is not true to size, I’ve always worn an 8.5 in keen shoes but same size in this shoe was way too big. I returned and ordered the Bali model in an 8 and it fit fine.

I'm still debating on keeping these. They are comfortable, but they seem a bit too narrow for my foot. Not sure I like the gray as I usually wear black :)

The Keen Kona flip is a great sandal, but the sizing is large. I usually wear a size 7.5, so after reading the reviews I ordered a size 7. When they arrived and I tried them on I felt like my foot was swimming in the sandal and moving around a lot inside the footbed. The webbing over the top of the foot was loose and there was about 3/4" extra length as well. So i have returned them for a size 6.5. I ordered these for summer gardening, and I have really high arches, so they should be GREAT! Besides the size issue they seem to be just what I wanted.

Keen is apparently not the brand it used to be. I first started buying Keen over ten years ago as a sandal go-to to stand in for arch-supporting orthodics. At that time, Keen made their insoles with a respectable arch support. I was disappointed when this new pair arrived recently. Just a moderate arch support.

I gave this sandal a lower rating because this brand consistently does not fit in an 11. Its too short. I thought maybe I'd try one more time, but again it was too short. Keen needs to add a 12 to women's shoes, sandals, etc.

They are comfortable, true to size, and easy to clean. The arch support was decent but not great. I like them and I’d buy them again.

Very comfortable for long periods of wear. More support than your average flip flop, worth the extra bucks

These are so adorable and initially comfortable, but straps are so wide that I am afraid they will stretch out too much, and I won’t be able to walk in them. They have to go back.

I am usually a 'straight 6' and these are a 1/2 small for sure but SUPER comfortable and supportive.

You know for sure you have a winner when you put on a new pair of shoes and then just keep on wearing them. That is what happened with this pair of flip flops. I put them on, and kept them on, and have them on now, as a matter of fact. I wear a 10 1/2 and these seem just right to me. Width is probably a bit narrow for flip flops, but the shoe is streamlined and looks less sloppy than some flip flops do. Length seems just right for me, and more importantly, the contoured insole fits well. I love the aqua color; the toe posts are comfy; the styling is sporty and colorful. The only caveat with these is that I would really, really like more support under my arch. This is reflected in the two four star reviews I gave. I think my feet will grow tireder quicker without a more pronounced arch support. However, there is moderate support. I also wonder about the textured insole, which I assume is meant to keep feet from slipping. I find the texture oddly pleasant, but don't know if I would feel that way after a number of hours. These are really nice shoes. The sizing seems to me to be accurate. I'm keeping this pair!

the straps were too big. would fit a wide/thick foot, returned them & got Reefs cushioned

Yep, definitely order half a size down. Also I wonder if they might make the soles of my feet sweat. But for a sporty flip flop I love them. I got the black this time.

Would buy again, I like them, they are comfy & great for walking, I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis so I have been buying all new "comfy" sandals to see if any of them help and these seem to offer good arch support and they seem comfy so far! Love my Keen Whisper sandals so I gave these ones a shot too for a slip on!

Love this flip flop! So comfortable and stylish. I only wish I had ordered my true size of 7 1/2 instead of going up a half size to an 8. It looks a little too big but I didn't want to send them back!

These are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever sunk my feet into. They are not squishy, but very soft enough to be comfortable with adequate support. They felt instantly perfect on my feet, the moment I took them out of the box. Yes, they cost a bit more than the usual flip-flop I purchase, but I know they will hold up longer & be infinitely more "sweet to my feet" during these upcoming summer months. Thank you Keen.

In the past I have loved Keens, first time to try the flip. Nothing to write home about, maybe a bit more arch support, which is what I need, but doesn't feel much different than all the other flip flops I have had, paying this much for these is priced a bit too high.

I have two pair of these and love them. They support my high arch and are of good quality that lasts for years,

The material smells like rubber When I bought Keen before it did not have that's smell

These are very cute shoes. But you need to go up a full size for them to fit. I wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 in all shoes, and these are big and sloppy. Even the strap was too big. I didn't like the shoes. The sole is hard and stiff. There's little to no give in them and I found them very uncomfortable. I returned them.
