Customer Reviews KEEN Solr Sandal

These sandals have minimal arch support, which for me is perfect because high arch support totally kills my feet. They're rugged/sturdy feeling and I expect they'll be good for hiking. Not as much airflow as I'd hope for in a sandal but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make as I need the toe guards and a hikeable sandal.

The shoes were nice, but not the "high arch support" described

These shoes were perfect other than the fact that my pinkie toe was exposed and caused uncomfortable rubbing.

True fit great for water fun

I really like the style. One criticism is Keen’s sizing. Years ago I had a pair and bought my typical size 10 only for the shoe to be too tight. So this time I bought 10 1/2 and they still remain a little tight. Yes, they’ll work out and probably be ok.

I didn't like the ankle strap at all. I felt it was too tight, and overall the Solr sandal didn't have as many holes as I had hoped.

Totally agree with the reviewer who suggested ordering a half size up. I always wear size 11, but size 11 in these sandals were super tight on me. Couldn’t move my toes at all. In terms of width, they are pretty wide - not super wide - but closer to wide than normal. On the positive side, they look nice, and Keen usually makes good quality footwear.

The sandal felt too short for my foot.

I bought these for my son for a camping trip and he just loved them! good fit and very comfortable.

I have been wearing Keen shoes (several pair) and Keen sandals(Newport) for around 10 years. There was never a defect, and you could buy another pair of the shoe you liked with confidence that they hadn't changed. Since March of 2020, I have ordered Keen Voyageur shoes, Keen Targhee shoes, Keen Newport sandals and Keen Solr sandals. Every single pair has had at least one of the shoes defective: Weird lumps under the insole, poor glueing, soles curved up at the ends for no functional reason, one shoe's sole thicker than the other, etc. Something happened at Keen. They WERE my go to shoe. Not any more. Also, NOTE: Zappos does not ask if the shoe I'm returning is defective, so I assume they are sending the defective ones out over and over. Be forewarned!

Bottom line: if you have high arches don't even think to order these sandals--our any Keen sandals. If you have high arches you won't be able to get your feet into the sandals. I ordered sandals that were bigger than I usually order and I still couldn't get my feet into the sandals.

I'm a long time KEEN sandal wearer and this design is a letdown (flop). Lot of good attributes like the new sole design but the fit is off compared to the tried and true Newport or Clearwater CNX.
