KEEN Women's Rose Casual Closed Toe Sandals, Brindle/Shitake, 6.5 US

I am rating this sandal 4/5 stars as it is a nice sandal and should fit most women. However, I have a wide foot with a high instep and these shoes were just a tad too tight due to the non-adjustable ankle strap. I read about this potential con before purchasing but because they looked so nice, I still wanted to try them on to see if they would work for me. They technically fit on my foot without trouble; the strap was just a tad but too tight for my comfort level. The strap would have *probably* loosened up had I had worn them around for a little while, but at $80, this wasn't a risk I was willing to take. I also ordered a pair of Keen Bali Strap sandals at the same time and those fit better with the adjustable ankle strap. Unfortunately, because of a product defect, I have to return those too. (Note: I've included a comparison of the Bali vs Rose sandal below since I wished I could have found a detailed comparison review for the two before purchase.) Overall, these sandals are cute and functional (hard combo to find!). The sole is supportive and the sandal would be extremely comfortable if it weren't for the non-adjustable ankle strap. Again, I think this wouldn't be a problem for the vast majority of women. My feet are very wide, very high instep (as a loving family member once told me...I have "man feet" :/) and they almost fit me, so they should fit *most* women just fine.KEEN Bali Strap vs Rose Comparison:-Rose has non-adjustable ankle strap; Bali has two adjustable straps at the ankle area.-Rose straps are made of softer material against the skin. It feels velvety as opposed to the typical cloth material of Keen Sandals. Both are comfortable but if the Rose straps fit me better, I would prefer their material.-Rose feels more secure because the toe straps go up higher on the foot.-Rose has a more cushioned sole. Bali Strap has a more contoured sole. In my opinion the sole of Rose would be better for long distance walking on relatively flat surfaces. Bali Strap sole would be better for climbing, or walking in rocky/unstable areas as the contoured sole gives the foot a better "feel" for the ground under the shoe.-Bali Strap has an awkward opening near the small toe which can allow the small toe to "escape" (especially if there is a manufacturing defect making the opening larger than it should be; see my Bali Strap review). The straps on the Rose are closer together, which effectively keeps those rouge little toes contained.If both sandals had fit me, I would have definitely preferred the Rose. However, the Bali Strap is the better option for my feet.

This sandals fit perfectly my feet are size 11 so normally the shoes are to wide these are a normal width. With a good solid sole and just enough arch support. I highly recommend

This almost aches me to write a review like this. I’m a hard core keen fan and usually gets the Clearwater cnx which I have taken to many countries and rugged vacays and has served me well. So when it was time to get a new pair, I thought of getting this Rose one which is a little more on the feminine side which will allow me to wear with skirts and dresses on vacays, so I thought. I gave it a trial run in the house and wore it for a few hours a couple of days ago. By night I developed a weird pain in my ankle where the ankle strap sits. I put the sandal away and the pain vanished. Today I tried again and wore it for a couple of hours and at the point where the strap sits, the same weird pain started. I tried to make the strap loose then I feel like I am carrying the sandal as it is not snug anymore. But having said that, the arch support and overall cushioning is much better than my Clearwater ( could be that my Clearwater workhorse is old and been using it for a good 4 years old and I wear almost 15 days a month!) I want to love this sandal so bad and I feel it will be the girliest that it can ever get in this type of all purpose sandals with good arch support. Maybe it’s just the shape of my feet, But since I’ll be walking a lot in this, unfortunately I’ll be returning them and just get my trusty Clearwater cnx version of the same keens.

I ordered this based off of recommendation of a travel Facebook group. 100% lived up to expectation as a comfortable travel/walking shoe. I wore it in airports, walking cobblestone streets, hiking, in/out of water at beaches…very versatile. According to my Fitbit I was active 6-8 miles a day with no blisters. Recommend highly

I only had them a few weeks but I loved them. My dog chewed them to pieces. It'll be several months before I can get another pair! But I will indeed have another pair!

These are just the Keen sandals I have been looking for--same footbed as the Whisper model, but a bit "dressier" in styling of the upper. I bought my usual size, 11M, and they fit great--just like my 3 pairs of Keen Whisper sandals. I bought both black and the gargoyle (a mottled grey). The gargoyle color is more versatile, but black looks better with black pants and capris. Finally, Keen sandals for evening wear!

The fabric around the small toe always gets caught between the toes. The inside of the shoe is uncomfortable to the bottom of my feet. Would have returned but I missed the deadline. I got them for an italy trip and was so sure they would work, I didn’t wear them around the house enough

I bought these in a bigger size because when I wear close toe shoe I need a little more room. But they were still too small. I also didn’t like the neoprene material that went above my toes. It just felt weird.

Pedí mi talla habitual pero me quedo muy chica, lástima las regresé

Ich bestellte die größere Größe, nämlich 42,5. Dennoch kam ich nicht hinein, keine Chance. Also bleibt nur Rücksendung. Erst mit der Lieferung der Schuhe erfährt man, dass sie von einer Fa. Plutosport aus Holland geliefert wurden. Versand- und Rücksendekosten trägt der Käufer, wie sich plötzlich herausstellte. Na prima, so lieben wir's, immer für Überraschungen gut!

I bought the Gargoyle (grey) ones, the red brick colour and now black. I LOVE these shoes. I can wear them all year round. I have quite slim feet and these are perfect. They do loosen up after wearing for a while. Do check the sizes as an EU 42 is an 8.5 in these shoes.

I love these. I've been looking for decent, comfortable sandals that I can wear to walk quite a distance, but also look nice for different occasions. These are perfect. I think I would buy them again when these wear out!

Der Schuh selbst kam hier an und war auf den ersten Blick mein Lieblingsschuh. Leider zu klein und in Größe 43 nicht zu haben. Sehr schade.
