KEEN Women's Rose Casual Closed Toe Sandals

This is my first pair of Keens ever, even though it feels like I must have had some before--but it wasn't me, it was my children! I'm almost 40 (not in my mind), a mother of 2 young boys who does a lot of outdoor stuff with them, I have a casual dressing taste, and I have sturdy, kind of boxy peasant feet with a decent arch, on the wider side of normal (in a birkenstock store, the salesperson told me I have "birkenstock shaped feet, if that gives you a picture! Think hobbitty). I ordered an 8.5 in Purple and it fits perfectly. I tried on this model in a store to check the fit before ordering, and I also tried the Newport H2, which I thought would suit my foot shape better and actually found it less comfortable than the Rose model, not to mention less attractive. The Rose has no adjustment features for the foot fit, aside from the ankle strap, which is different from the Newport and other models, and for some that may be an issue. The ankle strap seems less adjustable than the Newport's, because under the velcro strap is a fixed strip of the neoprene liner (probably for comfort and rub protection), but really unless your ankles are extremely thick it shouldn't be a problem since it's very soft and flexible and should stretch to accommodate ankle/foot size without getting stretched to the max in the majority of people. The foot part, with the cute strappy sunburst pattern, is narrower than the Newport H2, and it may be to hold it on better since there's no adjustable fasteners in that area. It's made of a soft, water-safe leather which will stretch to accommodate. My toe slides right under the toe-guard comfortably (which is cushioned by neoprene) and doesn't bug me. I put these on right when they arrived at my house and haven't wanted to take them off at all. Not a single place where they rubbed, pinched or bothered my feet even fresh out of the box, and my feet even tend to swell up a bit in warm weather (which it is here) and I felt no issue with that. The Rose may not be as hardy as the Newport, nor as much made specifically for a life in the water, but for my purposes--which consist of playgrounds, river wading, light trail walking, camping, and generally lots of time on my feet chasing small boys--they seem perfect. So perfect in fact I'm considering ordering another pair immediately in case they change the model or make less appealing colors.

Great price & made in USA ! Sizing is right on and comfortable to wear

I love these lightweight sporty Keen sandals.Comfy, cute and perfect summer shoes if your on the go.

I got these for a week long trip I am planning to Florida in October. They look great and feel comfortable. I just am going say the the ankle strap is an issue if you have thicker ankles. I have flat, narrow feet and average sized ankles, and the strap was still snug. Walking around in the shoes helped. Just be aware of this if you are thinking of buying.

Bought these last minute for a weeklong trip to a rustic island in Mexico. I put them on the day before we left and they felt great so I figured here goes nothing. I needed a shoe that would handle a lot of situations. A day of travel by car, plane, bus, boat, feet. A lot of feet. With a 38 lb. pack. We landed in the wrong terminal to meet the bus and it might as well have been a different airport. Had to jog about a mile to meet our bus. Not once did I think about my feet. No shifting as I jumped curbs, medians, etc. They handled the pavement so well. I have high arches and they were well supported. Once on our spit of sand, more walking. Walking in Mexico feels like an obstacle course and now we have sand to contend with. The shoes did great shedding it out. Ditched the bags at the hotel and right off to the beach. Wore them right in the ocean. Then around town. In short, I wore those shoes 18 hours day 1. Day 2 we walked and hiked about 10 miles, in water, in sand, in everything. They felt fine wearing wet. They were still a little damp in the morning but it was not uncomfortable.The only downside was I have really bad foot swelling when I fly. It doesn't show up though till day 3. Because of the boxed in/nonadjustable toe box, I couldn't wear these shoes again until the day before we left. I just went barefoot for a few.Overall, I am seriously impressed with these. I have the Newports and they have always served me well. These are signifcantly lighter and more stylish but for that, I don't think they are quite as rugged and I certainly wouldn't consider this an actual hiking shoe though any trail you could do with sneakers, you could do with these.They get major style points as they truly do look great with anything. It was nice to not have to bring a "pretty" but nonfunctional shoe to go out at night. These legitimately look good with skirts and dresses. Or jeans. Or a bikini. Anything.The fit was true to size for me. I'm a solid 6 and it was dead on. Any bigger they would have been floppy and weird at the toes. I have thin ankles so the straps were not an issue. Based off how small my ankles are, I was surprised that I didn't have extra strap. If you have thicker ankles, this could be a problem. I would also think overly narrow feet might not do well. The shoe doesn't really have a lot of give, so if it doesn't fit you exactly, I don't think it will be comfortable. That being said, it's worth a shot to try on. If it works for you, it will really work.I couldn't be happier with this purchase and see this being my everyday shoe this summer and hopefully many more summers and trips to come.

Got these to replace another pair that I had for over 10 years. These are so cute and comfortable. I wear them to the beach and sailing and they are perfect. Good quality and they do not mark or slip.
