KEENWomen's Rose Casual Closed Toe Sandals

I have wide feet and a high instep; these fit perfectly. The heel strap was a little tight to put on at first, but got easier after one or two times.I prefer H2 sandals for more rough wear (camping, canoeing) but these are much prettier and lighter. They have good support for walking.

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.

I bought these sandals for long days of walking over uneven streets and cobblestones and they did not disappoint. Wide a wide tie area there was no break on period..I put them on and was able to walk long distances immediately. If you are looking for a fashionable, comfortable sandal, look no further!

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.

I purchased these for a trip to Costa Rica and they were perfect. There was no breaking in time required, they were comfortable right away. I hiked, climbed, wore them in and out of the water. They were perfect and really cute. I was especially impressed with the traction. True to size

I love these sandals! I have EDS, joint instability, and need sturdy, comfy shoes, which is a problem when I want sandals. I had despaired of finding a pair of sturdy, comfy but also cute sandals... until I found these! My feet feel secure and comfortable when I walk, and I like the way they look. Definitely worth the cost, and actually cheaper than most so called orthopedic sandals.

I was looking for a supportive pair of sandals to take on our next trip. I went on a big trip across Europe and did a lot of walking last year and by the end of the fourth day (and many, many miles of walking) my feet were killing me. Particularly my heel. This time around I did a lot of research and these sandals were one of two that consistently came highly recommended. My husband also had a pair of keens and he found them very comfortable.When these arrived I put them on straight away and wore them around the house for several days. I have to say, they were comfortable straight out of the box. After wearing them for hours on end day after day, I can say they are still comfortable and provide great arch support. My heel doesn't hurt at all either. The straps look great and don't dig in like other brands tend to do.We'll see how they perform on our upcoming three-week trip. So far, I can recommend these!PS: Only gave it a four star since I haven't taken them on the trip yet. But I have full faith that they'll be a 5-star.Update! I have now upgraded my review to 5 stars. We've just returned from a trip overseas and I put these keens to the test. I wore them every day, on scooters, walking beaches, in the water, jumping on wooden boats, running from monkey's dodging busy traffic on busy asian streets, hiking up and down trails, riverbeds, on planes, through TSA checks, you name it we did it. Not once did I get a cramp in my feet. They fit great right out of the box, when I got them wet, they tried super fast and they never got that dingy wet smell to them. I'm so pleased with them I can understand why others are now too.

Fueron un regalo para mi abue, y me quedaron genial, me dice que están muy cómodos y el diseño le encantó.

Como de costumbre, Keen me ha proporcionado un calzado de calidad, sumamente cómodo y además también con un bonito diseño que puedo usar con vestidos y faldas. Elijo esta marca porque en mi experiencia, aunque son costosos, son muy duraderos (estoy hablando de años) coservando una buena apariencia, son resistentes al agua es decir que los puedo meter al mar y caminar por las playas y además tienen los protectores para los dedos de los pies. ¿Qué más podría pedir? Me encantan.

Fantastic sandals. True to size, very comfortable look great with jeans or dress

The sandals made my feet odorous. Have tried with different socks but the result is the same! Sorry, I’ve to return the item. It’s very embarrassing to have them on.
