Customer Reviews KEEN Uneek

These are the cutest, most comfortable water shoes. I bought them for a fly fishing trip and wore them, out of the box, all day two days in a row with zero issues.

They fit great, sized up a half size as I do with all keen. Fit great, but not soft! I have an older pair of uneek, super soft, feel fantastic! Again, Keen is cheaping out! Not the quality they were, hard, not comfy at all. Very disappointed. Zappos is great however! Thanks!

I first bought these shoes in 9.5, my usual size, in gray and they were about a half size too short, but the width seemed ok. I really wanted the cranberry color more than gray, so I returned for a 10. I loved the cranberry color when I got them, and the length was good, but they seemed to tight in width, they left imprints on my feet after only a half hour or so of having them on. They also didn't seem as comfortable. Unfortunately I had to return those also. I'm chalking the whole thing up to my hard to fit feet.

Recommend you order more than one pair. I ordered two different colors. This pair fit very well. The other pair, not so much. I have an old pair of this style, and I love them.

Did not need to order 1/2 size bigger as suggested

I ordered a half size up on the recommendation of other reviewers and the shoes were a good fit. They just have no arch support. I have a knee and low back problem and after wearing them around my house for awhile I could tell they were not for me. They are not attractive at all but if they had given me the support I needed it would not have mattered to me. I am returning the shoes and would not recommend them unless you have no problems at all walking in a shoe that offers no support.

I saw the Uneeks last year and was appalled at how ugly they were! Well, it's a year later and midsummer, and since I first saw the Uneeks I tried at least 10 other pairs of shoes/sandals that would be fine with water (I wanted summer shoes to wear at dog shows when the grass was wet with dew). Most were duds, with a few being just "okay." I finally tried the Uneek O2. Tried it in the Etherea/Whitecap color and my feet looked like clown's feet...simply enormous! But they were actually pretty comfy. So I was looking at Zappo's website to see if there was a different / better color and saw the Uneek. Voila! An open heel to make the shoes even cooler! I ordered it in the Dusty Olive/Brindle. This is not normally a color I would consider, but I was looking for a neutral (I usually go for tan or taupe for summer shoes) and mostly the colors were either brights or whites/off whites. Well, I have to say that I am absolutely THRILLED with the Dusty Olive *and* the Uneek. I have a very wide (EE) foot and the Uneek fit beautifully once I opened up the laces to their full extent. And my foot does not overhang the footbed. I was puzzled when I read one review from someone who said she had a narrow foot and the shoe was too narrow for her. I have many pairs of Keens and the reason I do is because they tend to fit my wide foot quite well. Putting the heel strap on wasn't an issue for me once I had my foot fully pushed towards the toe area of the shoe. When I initially put the Uneek on I wasn't happy with the arch...felt too aggressive. But after 10-15 min. my foot adjusted and it felt fine. When I put them on the next day the arch continued to feel fine. I wore the shoe on my morning walk and while they felt good, there was a bit of a weird feeling like I was barefoot. I finally figured out that the footbed/sole has a lot of flexibility in it. And as I continued to walk I liked the Uneek more and more. After my walk I got on my stationery bike and wore them while I did my workout. Still comfy! My only concern is that the footbed does feel quite warm, and I'm understanding others' comments about this being a hot shoe to wear. But overall, for me, the wonderful comfort of the shoe has me won over. Oh...and the Dusty Olive? It is quite a neutral color and will go fine with the pants I wear to summer dog shows (light tan, black, white and, perhaps, gray). I'm actually very happy with it!

these are a great surpise i absolutely love them

This is my third pair of Uneek shoes. If you have bunions or hammertoe,they do not bother them. Because they have a side give,they are extremely comfortable on your feet. I have gotten two other people to buy them. They are the best closed in shoe in the world!!!

This is my second pair. My first pair is still wearable but in a different color, grey and white. I love this new fig color. I followed reviews and ordered 1/2 size larger and this works for me. These shoes are great for traveling, walking to the baseball game or walking the dog. I feel comfortable wearing these with skirts and dresses too.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes!!! They are incredibly comfy and I was able to wear mine right out of the box for a full day without having any problems at all. I usually wear a 7 1/2 in Keen in general but because of all the reviews about running small I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly. I got the Vapor/Chartreuse and they pretty much go with everything. More neutral than I would have thought. Also great traction in the water. I wear them right in the lake. The one thing that might bother someone is the fact that if you are walking on a gravel path or a trail, the little stones and dirt wind up inside the shoes. Comes out pretty easily but might bother someone to have to keep stopping and tapping the stuff out of them. Overall I would DEF recommend them!!!

Thought these would be really comfortable, easy and cute. They are sort of cute in a utilitarian way, and kind of comfortable, but not at all as comfy as I expected for this type of shoe. They are also very difficult to put on. They are going back.

I really liked these sandals. They are so lightweight and airy. I know alot of people say the style is not appealing, but I think they are adorable on! The back strap around your heel is not adjustable or really stretchy so it might be a bit of pull to get them on, but other than that these are so comfortable! The paracord really has a lot of give to it and forms perfectly to every part of your foot. The shoe lace expands and tightens with just a pull. The aqua color is gorgeous!

The style is interesting and innovative in a nautical hipster way. However, the shoe offers none of the support in a traditional Keen. The synthetic upper allows no breathability, and though the sides are open, my feet sweat unusually bad in these shoes. Wishing I had sent them back instead of hoping they might work. I spend a lot of my workday on my feet, and feel these are more of a novelty shoe. Too bad, since they do have a uniqueness of design.

I loved the look of this shoe and I was so disappointed that it didn't work out for me. It is very narrow and the heel strap was nearly impossible to get over my heel. I've worn Keen sandals for years and can't believe I had this problem. Since there is no wider or larger size in a Women's version, I tried a similar color in Men's and it was a bit wider, but again the heel strap needed a shoe horn to get on my foot. So disappointed! Returned both!

My usual size is a 9 or 9 1/2, I ordered the size 9 1/2. When I tried them on my toe was at the end of the sandal and rubbed on the top also. Since the sandal was nice otherwise I returned the 9 1/2 and ordered size 10 1/2. These are a perfect fit and very comfortable. I like the lacing, it can be left loose for a slip on sandal or tightened for a snug fit. I'm considering purchasing another color.

I ordered a half size up due to reviews, but I don't think I really needed to. Nevertheless, they are fabulously comfortable and will be my go to for the summer. They do kind of make your foot look big! But not an issue.

Almost all of my shoes are a size 9 or 9 1/2 medium. I ordered size 9 1/2 and my toe was at the end of the sandal. I'm returning them and have ordered size 10 1/2 which I think will fit me fine. The aqua color is gorgeous and the sandal has a nice arch and great support. As usual, Zappos is great, very easy to return items and 1 day delivery! Looking forward to receiving my sandals!

Very cute and serviceable but for me they made my feet too hot. So for that reason they will go back. These have a better arch support than the same shoe with the back on. If you don't have problem feet they are great!!!

These shoes looked good on, and I wd have kept them, but it was very difficult to put them on. The opening is quite small because the top of the shoe comes right up to the ankle, so when you put the sandal on you can get your foot in but getting the back up is difficult. It would be great to alter this design by lowering the front a bit so the opening is wider.

There are super flat and my feet really splay out more than is comfortable! If you don't need any support I could see them being comfortable, but they just don't work for my high-maintenance feet.

I was disappointed that this sandal had no arch support, that was the whole reason I bought your othe sandals by Keen, in every color! They had excellent arch. Although these are truly uneek, I don’t feel I’ll be walking far in Italy in them as I had planned....back to the drawing board I guess!! Thanks TJ

These definitely run small as others have mentioned. I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 but had to go to an 8 in these. I have never worn an 8 in any shoe before. My other Keens are all 7.5. I have a relatively narrow foot with a moderately high arch. The bungee style cords help hug my narrow foot to keep it from sliding around and the arch support is sufficient. They are slightly snug to get on as others have also mentioned but since my arch isn't overly high, it is ok. Tight, but ok. The shock absorption of the footbed isn't as good as I had hoped but no worse than other shoes. The footbed does feel like it will conform nicely to my foot in time, something along the lines of a cork footbed but not anywhere near as stiff out of the box. Very airy feeling so good ventilation for the summer. I do like the styling - different from anything else I have. Overall a comfortable shoe but tricky sizing.

quality sandal love it

I typically wear a size 9, and these fit in that size. However, they made my feet look bigger and just had an odd look to them. Also, they were very squeaky on hard floors. Returned them.
