Not a sexy sandal, but very cute, very fun look. Comfy right out of the box.

I really liked the look of the sandal, casual, but the gray and black straps upgraded the look. Unfortunately I could tell there wasn't enough support for me for a walking sandal.

These are very comfortable, light and sturdy for a little sandal. The strap is thin, but rigid and a bit scratchy on the edges, but no big deal. My only issue is that the sole wasn't as slip resistant as I had hoped. They are high in cuteness factor though.

Needed a shoe for an upcoming BVI trip and always love Keens. I ordered my normal size 8. These felt/looked at least a size larger. The shoes are cute, but just too big. Sending back. I went with a Teva pair of sandals instead.

Being my first Keens I needed to figure out my size by trial and error. I felt best in half a size smaller than my normal size. I took off one star for the loose webbings in the toe box. Agree with other reviewers in that Keen quality control should have tackled that by tacking it down. It folds when putting the shoes on and has to be messed with for comfort or even for aesthetics.

I immediately felt the size to be roomy and long even though I ordered my usual size. I ordered a half size smaller to compare, and they felt too snug plus the stitching on the toe piece on one foot showed. I kept the original roomy ones, and used the cinch straps to adjust to snug up the fit. Overall I think the style and material are very cute. Love.

I bought these shoes for an upcoming activity that will be in and out of water and sometimes rough terrain. I think they will do the trick. My foot feel very protected and supported. I have wide feet and these definitely were wide enough for me.
I tried a couple different styles and kept these because of the ability to adjust the fit. The strap across the foot AND the strap behind the heel are both adjustable. So I can tighten or loosen them in a couple of places. I'm thinking this will be an advantage when I go from dry to wet or if my feet swell in the heat.
I don't really like the style, as they remind me of little girl's shoes, rather than a hiking shoe. I had a black pair first, but I really didn't like the looks of them. Settled for a grey pair that looks less like little girl shoes. But I couldn't pass up the way they seem to protect my feet and the ability to adjust the fit.

Love the style and color, but could not quite wear my custom orthodics in these, as I can with other Keen sandals, so will return.

Great style, very light weight and comfortable. The fit was just perfect for me, but if you have a narrow foot, I am not sure the fit would work for you. The only complaint I have is the quality. Uneven stitching, loose stitching and raw edges. The quality standard is lower than other Keen shoes I have. I’m would have returned them if they were not on sale.

As much as I would have loved to keep these shoes, I ended up returning them. The padded piece under the toe protector was defective and it kept the shoe from fitting properly. I have a closet full of Keen shoes and this is the first defective shoe I have encountered. If they weren't out of my size currently, I would re-order.

I've worn Keens for years, all kinds, in all seasons. They're favorites. When I got these I put them on i This is not something I'm used to, especially as I've worn Keen sandals a long long time. I don't know if it's the neoprene at the toe, or just the heat of this particular summer, but it is vile! I would have thought Keen had mastered the art of foot deodorizing, but apparently not.

fit is good--I am a true 8, med. width and these fit perfectly--the cushioning is good but there is zero arch support. I do not have high arches--but need something--even a little--to keep from arch strain. I noticed almost immediately after wearing around only 20 min. strain in both arch. Loved the old Jambu shoes--like these--rubber outsole but they had the most comfortable foot bed (it used to be black) but they have changed. Hoped these could replace them--unfortunately, not for me.

These are an excellent crossover shoe. I use them for kayaking and exploring streams as well as for hiking in Yosemite. I also use them for kayaking in a sit-in kayak with little foot room. The flexible sole is great for walking as well as having to sit/drive for an extended amount of time.
I usually wear a size 12, but the 11 fit nicely. With the adjustable heel strap as well as ankle strap, the shoe has lots of flex to its fit.
I can see wearing these shoes while traveling in the summer. Keen, please expand on this line of shoes!

I purchased this sandal along with the Keen camel Lower East Side MJ flat for European travel. The 9 in the flat is fine, but was huge in this sandal, but the 8.5 fits fine. It appears appealing for shorts, skirts or dresses and promises to hold up for long walks over cobblestones. I'm a little concerned as my left next to last toe is exposed and I worry it might get caught in the opening between straps if my foot shifts just right, but so far that hasn't happened. But anyway, that's the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. I'm looking forward to travelling with it!

The size 9 was too small and the 9 1/2 were too big. They were cute shoes but had to send them back.

Kind of odd design at the toe. Small piece of protective material was easily squished under the rubber toe protector. These felt too large tho I ordered a half size smaller than my normal 10. Had to return them, but they're adorable.

After reading the reviews I ordered this shoe in my usual 9 1/2. It was huge - at least a full size larger than normal. It was so big it's hard to write a review. It might be a really cute if it fit.

As Zappos is aware, I have probably been through about 200 pairs of shoes this year trying to find one pair of shoes that are supportive not klunky and do not hurt my toes! Keen shoes usually run a little short on me and when you wear an 11 there is not usually a size up option! These were one of the last I ordered, and Bingo! a fit! There is an adjustable strap on the heel so you can adjust the length.
The only issues I had was the waterproof foot bed was scratchy on me, but I plopped in a foot petal liner and I'm good!

I have troublesome feet. Tender skin and a bunion. Finding sandals that don’t tear up my feet is a challenge. These Keens are lighter and softer than their usual sandals. AND they are cute and more feminine than other Keens, like the Whisper, which I’ve also tried. No blisters. No breaking in period. Highly recommend!

Size 6, my usual size, was too long in the toe. I like the sandals but they did not fit me well. I'm afraid a 5 would be too small.

Really wanted to love these. Fit perfectly but the neopreme toe cover kept folding down. So have to go back.

I almost always wear 7.5. The 7.5 did fit, but the size 8 felt more comfortable so I ended up keeping the 8. My water shoes fell apart days before an adventure trip and thanks to Zappos, these arrived just in time to pack. The shoes performed well overall and the toe protection worked well. They do fill up and hold sand if worn on the beach which was mildly annoying. I will be searching for a "full foot" water shoe for sandy conditions, but these did the trick for a desperation purchase. I have not machine washed them yet, but like that they have that feature.

These are going to make great rafting shoes! I bought these to replace an old pair of keens I'd worn on rafting trips for the last 5 years. I can't do chacos because I need the toe protection. After messing around with them I think they'll stay on even if I'm caught on a rock, as long as the straps don't stretch out too much!
