I have tried on so many sandals. I need arch support that helps prevent my overpronation. I also need a shoe that doesn’t rub on my bunions. These sandals fit those needs. I like that you can adjust multiple straps to your foot. The arch support is good. I really like that it holds my heel well. There aren’t many sandals that come in a 6 1/2. I wear a 7.5 wide sneaker, but need a smaller size in sandals. There is only one glaring issue with these sandals. The foot bed has a lot of designs carved into it. As a result, there are lots of little nubs of rubber that stick up and you can feel the on the sole of your feet (they feel like lots of little needles). I tried a second pair to see if it was isolated to that first pair, but it was not. I ended up taking a small pair of scissors and cut off the nubs of rubber where I felt them stick up. Took a while but now I have a wearable pair.

These are so cute! And have good arch support. But why oh why couldn’t the footbed be smooth? When you walk in them it’s like a thousand needles stabbing into your foot. Maybe ok if you wear socks or don’t have sensitive feet.

I fractured my rt ankle and am in a walking boot. I wanted a sandal with good support to wear on my lt foot while in the aircast. This was the perfect choice and will be a good support shoe for when my ankle has healed. Living in FL made sneakers impractical. These sandals give a similar stability and traction without the need for socks or a closed shoe. Perfect fit and good arch support. I’m very happy with the neutral color.

It’s a good thing I didn’t pay attention to the previous review. I loved the look of these sandals, and they a even cuter in person. I normally wear a size 7 and that’s what I ordered. It’s a perfect fit. The price is high end, but so is the product. What I love about Zappos is that they are great with returns, so
I figured I can’t loose if they don’t work out. These shoes are keepers!

The adjustable sandals are too narrow. I don't get it. I thought Keen was known for their generous toe box and wide shoes. These sandals were too tight, even on the loosest setting. My toes did not fit. Also they awkwardly curved upward at the toes, so your foot never lays flat. That was very awkward too.

Comfortable but left inside side by outside small joint toe rubs on something. I hope it will go away because otherwise I love them.

After wearing these gently for three months the soles are wearing off. Also they fit weird, no matter how I adjust the strap they cut in the side of my small toes, very dissatisfied for the $ these cost.

I typically wear a 7.5 in Keen's that have a flatter footbed. But these are more like a sneaker, so an 8 worked better and allowed for the perfect length in the toe area. I do a daily walk at a fast pace, and feel I could actually walk in these. They feel just like a sneaker. I love how the straps let you adjust all the pressure points. I would highly recommend these.

I was looking for a supportive sandal that would provide stability. I broke my ankle and am in a walking boot. These sandals (I should I say sandal at this point) fit perfectly. I bought the neutral and I am very happy with them.

I was a little shocked by the color hot/fluorescent pink by any other name is still hot/fluorescent pink (i. e. , not cayenne, which is a deeper red). But I guess that's why they were on sale. They are SOOO comfortable. So I am keeping them, even if you will be able to see me coming from a mile away. (These work in my usual Keen size, 9. 5/40. I have a wide foot and find Keen shoes accommodate that naturally. I would recommend, but with a warning re the color. Be bold. Be bright. )

I have a pair of Keens and love them so excited to get these sandals. Unfortunately as much as I loosen the straps, they dig in the top of my foot. This is the middle strap. Wish it wasn't there. If it wasn't for that, tithe shoe would be very comfortable.

I loved this sandal. It was so lightweight and the color choices were fun. But I found that the texture of the foot bed really irritated the balls of my feet and my toes, and that my right pinky toe lined up awkwardly with a gap in the straps, no matter how I adjusted them. As much as I loved the color (red), I also didn't have anything in my wardrobe that matched it, making it hard to use as an every day sandal, which was my hope. I was able to wear my heel lift in it (I have a leg length discrepancy), though and this sandal gave good arch support. I would recommend it if you like the colorway, and if your feet fit comfortably inside it.

I own a number of keen shoes...and I love them, but this sandal needs a longer Velcro strip across the toe strap. My toes are too tight and I can't loosen them as much as I'd like. I am sad!

Straps are kind of fussy at first until you get them set for your foot. Nice footbed with cushion and support. Moderate arch support, but did not hit my foot in the right places, so will have to return them.

This is a weird shoe because the little nubs all over its bed feel like little pinpricks. I’m sure I would’ve had to clip off all those little nubs for the shoes to work at all (as another reviewer suggested) It also feels excessively strapped and some of the straps won’t adjust. I had so wanted to like this shoe, and it was a perfect fit. But for these reasons I was afraid to even try wearing them for an hour so they went back to zappo’s pronto.

I bought these last year (in black) and I’m here buying another black pair. The straps are a bit odd but once I set it up to fit my foot, it was just a matter of sliding my foot in and attaching the back strap. So they have been really easy to put on, cushiony with some arch support. They have a cool look to them but some people may find the straps messy.
The one negative for me was sizing. My regular size was too small so I sent them back for a 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly.

Just ridiculous that I can't get consistent sizing across a brand. I'm fed up with mailing back only to pay for shipping to get another pair. No more Keens for me. I've purchased my last pair. And also Keen, don't write a platitude about how you're sorry. . .
