Customer Reviews KEEN Aruba II

We have always loved the Keen sandals but the width on these is larger than you would expect. We'll stay with the flip flops and return these

A mixed bag ... the construction seems pretty good and could be durable. Good toe protection. Soles seems durable. Pretty good arch support. I wish that there was a raised lip at the back to hold the heel steady ... because otherwise, with the fact that they seem a little big to true size, the heel tends to slide around. Walking on flat ground is okay like flip-flops, but no way would I do any serious walking in these. They are more like heavy-duty outdoor house slippers. Also, driving a car is not so great, because of the loose heel. They are easy on & off, and good foot protection, so I will use them some, just not as excited about them as I thought I would be.

eh. I would like this sandal a lot more if the sole was not that rubber/foam-like material. I needed a sandal with no back strap, no wide single strap, and no between-toe strap so this was one of my only choices. Previously had a great New Balance Revitalign sandal that is no longer made.

I just can’t seem to find a keen that fits! Their sizes are all over the place and this is the second pair I have tried. They are a comfortable shoe when you can get one that fits but I am giving up with ordering them online. Guess I just need to find a shoe store so I can try them on.

It is a good sandal. It is comfortable and fits snugly without being tight. Looks great, though I do miss the old brown/tan option. My only concern, and it is a big one, is that the sole is far weaker than the last time I bought this brand and is wearing out rapidly. I walk 4 to 6 miles a day and this pair simply cannot handle it and are showing the wear on the bottom almost immediately. My previous pair of Keens lasted three years, so I feel like maybe the company got cheap about what rubber they use to keep costs down. Which is a shame because there is no other brand or model half as attractive. After these wear out I will buy one more pair; but if those also have a bad sole then never again.

Yes, the review about the sizing is very true. I ordered size 9 which is his normal shoe size for my husband but it’s way too large for him. I am going up return to order a size smaller Hoping size 8 would fit him right.

This Keen show has an outer sole that is is slippery on some floors like vinyl planks which are common today. The quality of the outer sole does not match my other two Keens which have an excellent rubber outsole. Also my half size rarely fits when shoes are only whole sizes therefore reluctant to order again.

Had these 4 months and the heel and rear footbed on one shoe has come unglued causing a sharp edge. Also, the rubber on the sole has worn out quickly. Not happy with the quality.

Half size too large, fell right off with every step.

The description says "non-marking rubber outsole". If these "rubber outsoles" are rubber why am I slipping on a vinyl floor? These outsoles appear to be more plastic than rubber. What a waste of time.

These are no longer the same Aruba style as previous years. As others have stated the sole is now clunky and the shoe is narrower than most other Keen styles. Overall this was not a comfortable shoe at all. Purchased for my husband.
