Customer Reviews KEEN Elle Backstrap

This shoe was huge on my size 5 foot.

Really nice looking but the straps were just too tight for me.

Super cute, stylish shoes that I REALLY wanted to fit me. The front strap, however, was too tight. If only it had just the tiniest bit of stretch, I think it could have worked. Sadly had to return.

Really like this sandal. But… my foot sweat in them I walked around the house, hoping that would change, nope. But they are so cute and comfortable. I really liked them except for the sweating !

Unfortunately, the wide ankle strap rubbed on my my right ankle, which made the sandal uncomfortable.

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.

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

Cute and comfortable sandal. Had to send back because strap rubs my bunion, and footbed made my feet sweaty.

I have two pair of original edition Elle sandals. LOVE them but man they are showing their age (like me...)! I initially ordered 2 pair in the same size and both in wide - one pair was perfect, the straps on the other pair were waaay too loose. So... I reordered both pair - no wide in the size so went up a size hoping it would work. Again, I ordered the same sandal, same size, same width but, again, both were vastly different. I ended up keeping only 1 pair as the others just did not fit. It's a great sandal - comfy, looking, durable and goes with most anything. Really disappointed in the quality control of sizing at Keen. If you don't mind ordering and re-ordering, you may be lucky and actually get a pair that fits!

Had purchased a pair in another color which were comfortable. These hurt the bottom of my foot. It was made differently. Sent back.

They were not comfortable. The band going across my foot rubbed on the cuticle of my left big toe nail and caused pain.

I really wanted to like these shoes! The width and size was fine, but the straps were so tight, I lost feeling in my toes. The sole was comfortable, but the material made the bottom of my feet oddly sweaty. I will be returning.

The strap on this color are much tighter than the other colors. I had to return them because they were too tight.

The front strap as soo tight it made my foot bulge, but the back straps felt like they would slip off. Don't wear these in water or you'll lose them...

These shoes are adorable, but the straps aren't stretchy at all, I literally couldn't get my foot inside them. I have this same pair in black and they stretch just fine. I unfortunately had to return these, which I hated to do because the colors were so darn cute.

Way too tight and no way to adjust them. I’ve tried wearing them several times so afraid I won’t be able to return them but not happy with them.

I wanted to love these shoes so much! The strap over the top of my foot rubbed my toes and hurt after walking around the house just for a few minutes. They also are strangely loud like flip flops but even more so. I loved the colors (pink/grey/white) and they would go with a ton of my clothes. Unfortunately I had to send these back.

I found these underwhelming. They look like a “comfort sandal” as opposed to a cute sandal, but they are not actually that comfortable, so what’s the point? I ended up returning.

These were not as comfortable or supportive as expected, also not great looking. Returning.

Love the look of these sandals but they hit my bunion in just the wrong place. Unfortunately, I must return them.

Returned. The strap close to the ankle was cut too close to the ankle and felt horrible

I ordered a size 9. The box is marked size 9, but the shoes are a size 6!!!

Strap on sandals not attached evenly so one shoe is very comfortable while the other—which was attached too far forward—cuts into my toe. When shoes are set next to each other, one strap is 1/4 inch further forward.

The strap crossing the toes was stiff. It was immediately easy to see that it would chew my foot up.
