Customer Reviews KEEN Elle Backstrap

These are a great shoe from kean, with far more style than their original shoes. They look a little more clunky than I was hoping (can’t pass them for a nice shoe if dressing up), but they are great for everyday casual. The support is far better than nothing, although it is not an orthopedic shoe if you need high support. I have not walked around in them for miles, but whenever I have walked with them I did not notice any rubbing I bad places, so the straps are well designed and placed, and I think they’d hold up well if needing to walk more or wear all day.

Love this sandal

Comfy right out of the box for full days of city walking.

True to size for Keen shoes. Comfortable from the moment I put them on!

Fits perfectly! I could walk for days in these!

Hello, I have been wanting the Elle multicolor back strap for some time, but it was popular and hard to get in my size. I was happy when I saw there was one left and I ordered it. When it came it was a full size smaller. I checked, and I had ordered the correct size. The mistake was at Zappo's. I am sorry to say. I got them by ordering them from a family business across the country.

I've always liked Keens for comfort because they take into account the natural shape of a person's forefoot. These do not: my big toe comes uncomfortably close to the front edge of the sandal, and the elastic strap at the back nudges the whole foot forward so that I had too much room at the back and not enough room at the front. But worst of all is the KEEN etched into the footbed. If you're a princess-and-the-pea type of person like me (I can't wear certain very popular sheepskin boots because they put their name tag in the same area) it will make you crazy. They also make loud slapping noises when you walk, which other reviewers mentioned; if everything else had been perfect I could have ignored this. They're going back.

Even though I usually need a Narrow width shoe, these sandals work for me. I love the style and colors, and the fit is snug enough to work for me.

I really, really wanted to like these. I've been looking for a good, comfortable summer shoe, and I liked the backstrap and the wide straps. But when I actually wore it, the strap at the front was too stiff and made the front of my foot ache after walking around. The back strap rubbed my ankle, too, and probably would have rubbed it raw if I had kept them longer. Perhaps it is just my feet, but the shoes weren't wearable for me and I will have to keep looking.

these fit very well and I was a little surprised because I have a high instep but they fit very well. I am very happy with them!

Perfect fit. Love the color and the style. Got the grey and black combination. Received many compliments. They are my "make me happy" sandals. Hope they return next year.

they are made very well, comfortable, and look good! I plan on ordering other colors.

This is the second pair of these Keens i have bought. I loved the first pair so much for their comfort, style and the wonderful fit on my foot.

I love the shoe. It is so colorful, it will go with almost anything!

This is the second pair of this sandal I have purchased. The first pair (size 9 1/2) were true to size, but when I ordered that for my second pair, they were a bit snug and short in length, so I returned those and went up half a size. All to say, each shoe varies a little bit. You might find them true to size or need to go up a half size. I love the simplicity of this sandal design. They are comfortable, with good arch support. I have a bunion on one foot and it is not only hidden in the design but also the fit accommodates it easily. I wear mine all the time!

very comfortable and good looking.

I like these sandals and they suit the use case I purchased them for, but there are some faults. The front strap is not as stretchy as I'd expect, so if you have wider feet in the front, you may need a bigger width or to size up. They make a "flip flop" sound when I walk, which I don't love. I got the black and after the first wear I had black marks on my toes on both feet where they rubbed the side of the front strap. Not a great look. I'll probably keep them, because my goal was a nice looking pair of sandals that I could wear in the rain/gross weather conditions without them getting too ratty. Haven't had the opportunity to use them in such weather yet to see if they hold up, but I'm hopeful.

I feel these shoes are true to size. They are so very comfortable! I ordered the multi colored style which will go with many outfits. I read a review that said they were hot because they are made from recycled plastic, but I am not sure why they felt that. These shoes are sandals and I have not felt that they are hot in any way. I will enjoy wearing these stylish shoes often!

Perfect everyday shoe for summer. These shoes accommodate my foot troubles (bunions and arthritis) perfectly AND they are sporty and cute. Loved them so much that I immediately ordered another pair.

I love keens and these feel great. If you have a high instep, they may be snug on the top strap

Super cute. Super comfy. I got the lavender and may need to get another color!

Love the shoes. Very comfortable.

I had to return them because they were a little small and the arch support wasn’t as much as I needed.

I would love to sleep in these shoes..they are so comfortable. They fit my feet perfectly and I have “wanky” feet. The comfort was instant. I purchased the multi-colored style and they will complement any outfit.

This is a comfortable shoe. It has very good arch support, but something is up with the straps around the heel. I tried 3 pairs and each one had once side that was loose around the heel and slid off. I found one pair that is ok so i am keeping it.
