KEENWomen's Whisper Closed Toe Durable Comfortable Easy On Washable Adventure Sandals

I bought these shoes and almost immediately brought them on three different adventures: Camping, hiking, and to a theme park. Here is how I would rate them for each adventure.Theme park: I went to the park without socks. The entire day, my feet were comfortable, and I never got any blisters or pain from wearing them. This was even after I went on a water ride where my feet were completely soaked, and they were still comfortable, and they dried out rather quickly walking in the sun. 5/5Camping: I spent 16 days camping over the past month, and had tons of opportunity to test these out in the wild. For me, this is where purchasing hiking sandals can be a mixed bag. I did end up with two blisters wearing these shoes, but, I believe that was because of the three campgrounds I visited, two of them had many bugs that bit, especially my exposed feet. I believe the back outside of my feet were bit by ants, and that was what eventually turned to blisters. Even then, with the blisters, I still was able to use these shoes with socks. They were still very walkable, and I was able to walk in them with the blisters for an added four days. I can't complain about that. I pushed them to their limit, and still they performed. Also, during these camping days, we had a torrential downpour, where I had to walk outside and got my feet soaking wet. This did not keep the shoes from functioning, but it took longer to dry since I was always under tree cover; without direct light. 4.5/5Hiking: I took these shoes to a waterfall, where I walked into the pool below the waterfall. I never once regretted that choice. I continued to have good traction, and my feet remained comfortable, even with the water. 5/5Added notes: 1) They are slip on, and they can take a little tug to slip on. When I'm on my feet the whole day, my ankles tend to swell a little, and I wish I could loosen them, but I wouldn't trade that for the clicking of a buckle. (As I have experienced with another brand, and found the sound annoying.) 2) I wear size 8 and I got an 8 1/2. I felt the 8 1/2 fit, and I am glad I went a 1/2 size up. 3) I don't think the strap on top does much. 4) These feel like they were last a long time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Super duper Keen brand hiking sandals. Come in a branded, brand new, solid, clean gift giving box with no torn corners. Shoes are solid. Good grip. Soft. Sturdy. Beautiful! Easily adjustable fit w/ the laces. And the toe cover is amazing and has saved my toes multiple times. Quite comfortable too. I like these so much that I may purchase another color even. Fits true to size also. And the price is reasonable for a solid shoe and brand. I imagine I’ll get years of use out of these.

Very comfortable, true to size, I used the size chart and bought my usual size of 9.5 because my feet measure 25.5cm long. I could see how some reviewers said the little toe pops out the side. Mine does not, but it’s close. The Smoke Blue is not the blue gray I hoped for. Rather, it’s a little more Mediterranean Blue, but the picture represents it well on hindsight. These appear extremely rugged and durable.Edit: I sent them back and got the Taupe/Coral which are very pretty, and don’t call so much attention to themselves as the Blue (especially in my big size). These fit and feel exactly like the Keen Rose Sandals, but the sole is a little thicker, more rugged. Thus they are slightly heavier. I can see why several reviewers said the opening that you put your feet in at the top is small. It is, but I had no problem with it, as I have fairly low volume feet (skinny and low).

I’m sure these would fit fine if I could get my foot into them! I love the look; it’s very different and unusual and the colors are great, but the opening is so tiny I couldn’t even try them out. They aren’t adjustable anywhere either. Probably just as well as there appears to be very little arch. I have a high instep and a high arch; but, it’s the high instep that won’t allow my foot to get halfway inside them. So disappointing

I havent worn them out yet but at first wear i can tell these shoes will make me want to live again. I have awful plantar fasciitis and cant walk that far. But with these i feel like i can go camping and hiking again. Theyre the perfect fit and cradle ur foot so precisely, a little snug to get inside initially but thats cuz theyre new. The quality is great and i cant wait to walk in these. Plus theyre man cute

This is not my first pair of Keen Whispers, but definitely the pair I get the most compliments on. Supportive, comfortable, rugged, funky, and fun, these are shoes built for adventure. I’ve worn them hiking in the woods, at the beach, in a kayak, biking, and trekking on urban sidewalks, and they were great at in any environment. When they get grungy, I throw them in the wash with a towel or two, then let them stand to dry. They come out looking like new. The fit is true to size, and since I have narrow feet, the Whisper is a better fit for me than the wider Keen Newport shoe.

These are the best active summer sandals for the outdoors! You can use them indoors too of course! I use them for walking and hiking and most importantly, there is no chafing at the back of the ankle. There is a cushion that prevents that from happening. I use them also for kayaking and they are also very cute to just hang around in to do errands. Super comfortable and a strap loop at the back make them easy to pull on. This is the second pair I've gotten and the quality is consistent. Very highly recommend this item!
