Customer Reviews Columbia Kea™ II

Over the last few years I purchased SEVERAL Columbia Kea (UNDER $40) sandals in several colors. It is April 2020 and ordered another pair. Columbia SADLY increased the price of these sandals by 20% whilst they TOTALLY cheapened the quality.... They are now so poorly made that I am returning them. There is Z-E-R-O arch support, no stitching detail, the fabric is cheap and flimsy, the padding is softer but feels too mushy as there is ZERO support. The design has also suffered as they did away with just about ALL of the nice detail and stitching these sandals used to have. See photo attached. A HUGE THUMBS DOWN TO COLUMBIA!!!! You lost a long time customer. These feel like a pair of $10 no name sandals. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!

I have purchased these flip flops every couple of years. I’m very sad to say this is the worst quality yet. The arch support disappeared completely, no grooves to keep foot in place and the toe ring no longer cushions my bunion as it used to. They feel way too wide and utterly disappointed w this purchase. Columbia used to care about quality, now it seems it lacks overall craftsmanship too.... wouldn’t buy again after having this exact shoe for 10 years

I have semi wide feet. Never had to buy wide width shoes, except once, when I was pregnant. So, I ordered these, thinking they’d fit. It’s flip flops after all. I was wrong! Ordered my usual size at first but quickly realized they wouldn’t work. Sent them back and ordered one size up, thinking it would work better. It did not. I’ll still keep them and wear them around the house. They are comfortable enough. But you can tell they are a little too narrow for my feet! I’m not going to wear these outside the house. So, if you have slightly wide feet, this style might not be for you!

This is my second pair of this shoe. They don’t fit great on me, but they fit good enough. I have problem feet, so it’s very hard to find a perfect fit and feel. My feet are slightly too wide for this shoe. It works, but I’d prefer if they were just a little wider! I wear them to the beach and around the house etc. My Euro-size has always been 37, sometimes 38. (Birkenstock size 38 are big on me). The Kea flip-flops are really snug on me in size 8, which is supposed to be equal to euro-size 39. So I’d say the Kea’s run small.

Fit, size is great. I am buying my daughter another pair this year for her birthday. She wears them continuously everywhere including boating. They are holding up amazingly well!!

I’ve had this shoe b4 and I love it.
