They feel true to size and are pretty cute for functional sandals. I have a pair of Teva’s and think these are cuter and the footbed is a little softer and easier on the balls of my feet than the Teva’s. They are comfortable right out of the box, but there is a slight rubbing of the strap on my toes - nothing that has caused any major grief or blisters yet.

Bought these for Italy trip. Most days walked 20,000 plus steps and feet were not sore. And received so many compliments. Love them!

I love these shoes. I bought two colors and was going to send one back but decided I like them so much. I’m keeping both colors. I highly recommend recommend them.

I brought these out of the box on a trip where I walked a lot and they were immediately comfortable, supportive and all around awesome. They are an excellent mix of stylish and comfy and you can walk in them all day. Highly recommend! I also hiked in them and wore them in a waterfall as water shoes. They have some leather, so maybe you're not supposed to, but they did great.

I can’t decide if these are youthful and fun or borderline senior-looking. I’m 45 so need to be careful that shoes don’t age me. They are pretty comfy though the straps are a bit snug. I hope they stretch out some. True to size.

One of my favorite shoes of all time - everyday comfort. Easy to take off and put on. Great support for my high arches. I have four different colors!

I have arthritis in my right foot, overpronation in both and flat feet. Sandals are hard to find now... I'm 71... something I can wear for a good period of time, do some walking, feel supported and still look good. It's a lot to ask. These sandals work so well for me and are so comfortable. Incredible support for a sandal and I can comfortably wear them for hours. I bought two pair and am now going back for a third. All the colors! Haha!

These shoes have been my go-to casual sandals for 3 summers running. They are very comfortable for everything from yard work to dog walking to grocery store runs. I wear them with shorts and with casual dresses. I need a wide toe box but have narrow ankles, and the stretchy fabric of the straps works perfectly for me to accommodate in both areas. No, they're not terribly stylish, but I think they're much more attractive than most shoes in the "active sandals" category (other Keens, Chacos, Tevas, etc.).

These sandals will be great for casual looks with jeans or shorts in the summer. The stretchy material is great for support on the my feet. My feet are on the narrow side and sometimes sandals straps can be too lose across the top of my feet.

These are the cutest comfort sandals ever! I walked all over Charleston in them and my feet felt great! Then I wore them out to dinner and they were cute enough to go with a summer dress! My favorite sandals!

These sandals are awesome and amazing and attractive. I could walk for hours in these shoes. Although the straps are elastic, the shoes feel secure on your feet. The various colors and patterns make them even more fun to wear. I have 6 pairs. You know, they say " if the shoe fits, buy it in every color" :).

Sandals with the footbed feel of sneakers. I bought these in two colors and wore them on a trip to Europe. I walked all day every day with no issues. Great quality. I will get many seasons wear from these shoes.

These Keens are my second pair in this style. Loved the first pair so much that bought in another color. Walked all over NYC in summer heat in these sandals in total comfort

Love these shoes. If you are borderline between whole and half size go up a half size so your toes don’t go over front of shoe.

Fit and size are correct. The sole fits my foot and the straps all stretch which accommodates my high instep. I saw them on a woman in a coffee line and asked what brand they were and she really raved, had them for years. I’ve had mine for mere days.

These super cute sandals are my favorite. The color is nice snd I wore them through 2 airports without discomfort. They do make a thwacking sound when I walk but it doesn't bother me.

Love them- comfy and can wear them for all kinds of looks- casual, or slightly dressy . They are my favorites and can easily put on and feel secure in them. I can walk good distances in them. Great shoe.
