Weird Toe box
These are lightweight as far as Keen goes. The color is vibrant. They are very supportive without having a hard insole. The style is a little weird. Look at the photos. Can you see the way the toes look as if they are going off to the side? I don't know why they are made this way? It is a little off putting. I am keeping these because I needed to replace my older and heavier Keens but this is so weird.

    Bought my first pair in 2008 and used them for trail running. Despite very hard usage, every day, they lasted 4 years. Since them I had numerous pairs, all good and long lasting. I normally wear an 8 wide but in these I size up to 8.5. Also I normally order neutral shades but this blue was irresistible and a good choice--very pretty. I use these in urban settings and on my farm and they are comfortable, pretty and very durable. Definitely worth the cost, especially in our throw away society.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Picked the Whispers over the Newports, and here's why...

    Color: Navy/BirchSize: 6.5Verified Purchase
    UPDATE: I've had these shoes for a little over a year, and the stitching has started to come undone on the side. However, it is easily repairable, and the rest of the shoe is in great condition; so, I still highly recommend them!

    ORIGINAL POST: First, I'll say that I absolutely love these shoes!

    As my husband and I were planning our honeymoon in Hawaii, we knew that we were going to need some good water shoes. I'm more of a sandal girl myself; so, I ordered both the Whispers and the Newport H2s, and here's what I found...

    The Whispers ran truer to size than the Newports. I order my regular size in the Whispers, which fit perfectly, but I needed about a full size bigger on the Newports. (Not a deal breaker, but just something to note.)

    The Whispers have a significantly nicer feel to them, but they do run a bit narrow; so, if you have wider feet, you likely want to go with the Newports, regardless of size. However, while the Newports are wider and are definitely a more rugged shoe with a bigger toe bumper, that also makes them a bit heavier and they tend to clomp a bit more. Depending on how you're looking to use them, this might be what you need, but for me just walking and hiking around Hawaii, the Whispers did just fine.

    I will note that on the beaches, especially the pebbly ones, the sand did get stuck in the Whispers a bit, but my guess is that would've happened even more with the Newports as the latter have the bigger toe bumper where sand likely would've gotten stuck.

    As far as arch support, the Whispers have good support, but the Newports definitely had a better insole. However, it also made the Newports a bit tighter on the top, almost like they didn't fully account for the arch, which wasn't unbearable, but again, something to note when choosing what size to order. For me, the arch support was still more than sufficient in the Whispers, and my feet never felt too tired walking around in them for hours.

    I've also heard comments that the back of the straps on Keens get stretched out after time; so, I also liked that the Whispers were reinforced with ribbon around the back too. It also added a cute accent to the design, making them not only a good water sandal, but also a cute all-around nice shoe. They were so comfortable that I ended up wearing them even when I knew we weren't going to be getting our feet wet.

    So, after walking around the house in them for about 1-2 days each, I ultimately went with the Whispers, and I'm very glad that I did. The fit was comfortable, they weren't too bulky, and they did exactly what I wanted them to do, which was mainly protect my feet as we explored rainforests, beaches, and other fun sites.

    I'll try to give an update once I've had them a bit longer, but after two weeks of wearing these almost exclusively in Hawaii, I can say that I'm very happy with them and would highly recommend them to anyone!

    Right out of the box, fit was perfect. I’ve been purchasing this brand for a long time. Each time I order, the size is perfect in a 6 med. Not all brands fit the same with each order. Keen does for me. I have one toe that is a bit different and nothing rubs. The soles are comfortable, with no break-in period. The bungee cord has quite a bit of room to adjust. I have a pair of Keen boots that are my go to during the fall/winter. Have had them probably 13-15 yrs or so. Still look great. I ordered this pair of sandals in Smoke Blue, which looks a little smokey, bluish teal. Very good color with jeans and neutrals.

    This would be the perfect shoe if it had arch support. Plenty of toe room, comfortable foot bed, easy one-off. Just need arch support for all day wear. And if it had arch support, I would buy in multiple colors!

    I have a bone spur on the joint of my big toe that makes most 'normal' women's shoes impossible for me to wear. I was able to try on a pair while on vacation so I knew to size up. There is ample room for my bone spur AND they attach securely. Usually if it doesn't hurt it also doesn't stay on. They are also firm enough to not make my sore toe bend more than it likes. I love that they are comfortable right out of the box and come in such a large variety of colors. If you are undecided I say YES get them! They are funky, cute, and comfortable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Rugged Outdoor Sandals
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2023
    Color: Medium Grey/Peacock GreenSize: 9.5Verified Purchase
    First off, it’s worth mentioning that due to a sports accident long ago, EVERY pair of footwear I buy automatically needs $70 worth of orthotic “surgery” before I can even wear them.

    So obviously, with that added expense, I need to be sure all and every pair of new shoes will be durable and last at least several years.

    Besides that, they’ll need to be comfortable from the start—I can’t risk putting that extra money into a shoe that will never become comfortable or might cause blisters.

    Fortunately, Keen sandals are both durable and never have caused any distressing issues, so I can be confident that they will fit well and also last for many years of rugged use. Thesis style is always true to size and super comfy. (I adore them and no, this is not my first pair!)

    Besides that, I LOVE the color of this pair—they’re cheery enough to wear on a daily basis with casual slacks or skirts. (It feels silly to worry about getting them muddy should I sometimes decide to wear them while mowing the lawn or gardening since mud and muck always wash off easily with a quick spray with a garden hose.)

    I also wear them when kayaking, as they provide stable footing and won’t slip on mud or slimy rocks as you’re entering the boat in the water. Besides that, these sandals always dry out quickly so you’ll not have wet feet while waiting for hours for them to dry out.

    Simply put—I adore these sandals and will likely buy another pair sometime soon. (Yes, I’ve had another pair for about six or seven years that by now are fairly tattered, yet still wear them from time to time when doing really messy tasks. After three or so years I started popping them into the washing machine with jeans and heavier fabrics, making them look brand new without any evident wear or damage to the sandals or the other laundry. That’s a win-win if you have stinky feet. 🤣)

    So it’s a two thumbs up review for these fantastic sandals (or should that be “two big toes up” review? 8^)

    If you’re strategic about purchasing them off season, you also likely to find discounted pricing on their less popular colors or styles!

    I have only worn my sandals a few times so far but the fit is perfect. I usually am a 61/2 in America or I can be a 37 in France but I have quite a narrow foot so the 6 ( 36 ) is just right. I bought these for trip to Sri Lanka and I think they will do just fine there. I was pleased with the fast shipment from the UK to France.
