KEEN Women's Whisper Closed Toe Sport Sandals

I've been a Keen lover/wearer for a long time and truly love this brand, but I think my Whispers may be my favorite pair yet. I bought this as an "upgrade" from my Newport H2s and these are SO much better. I love that the neoprene stretches in the bit around your ankle - this made them wearable right out of the box with no break-in period and ZERO blisters. They are ridiculously light weight - much lighter than my Newports - but really sturdy and durable. I wore them on a recent trip to Costa Rica and they were the perfect shoe for all of the wet/dry activities I did, like white-water river rafting, light hiking, swimming, rappelling, sailing, walking around town, etc. They dry quickly and don't get stinky (but if they did you can throw them in the washing machine with your laundry). I'll also note that I have arthritis in my feet - specifically my big toe joint - and these were always comfy and supportive. I could keep going with no pain, which was awesome. If my feet swelled, it was easy to loosen up the lacing system. On top of all that, I got complements on them - they're pretty cute. These are more narrow and girly than the Newports. I love them so much I bought a second pair. I highly recommend these - they're great for adventures and anytime you might get your feet wet - they're also really comfortable and a great all-around sandal for warm weather. For me they run pretty true to size (I wear a 6 1/2 in other shoes and these), but I know that a lot of people like to get them a 1/2 size bigger.

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. Quick note: I am a size 7.5 and the 8 fits well. Plus with the laces you’re able to adjust it for how wide or tight you want the shoe to fit.

Bought these as a gift for my mom for her birthday to use on our trip to Costa Rica. They were perfect! She did all of the excursions in these! Waterfall tour, off roading tour, and of course, hiking. I also ordered the identical pair for myself. I have wide feet and some of the off brand ones I ordered were too narrow and would hurt my baby toe. This pair did not. It had a slightly wider fit in the toes which made it comfortable for walking a lot. I highly recommend these.

The short version: I wanted a sandal with a closed toe that I could wear to play outside with my son in the summer. I'm glad I ended up with something waterproof because they work great for Six Flags too. I would not recommend them for someone with narrow feet who wants to hike or climb in them because my feet slip too much for that. The long version: Depth: When I originally tried the Whispers in the store, I thought they were too deep (meaning: dig into my ankles) but I realized it's just the soft lining that touches my ankle and it isn't uncomfortable. Sizing: I had some confusion with the sizing. In athletic shoes I wear a 9.5, but according to the Keen sizing chart, I should wear a size 8. I went up a half size because of the closed toe, but it was still too short. (Either my toes hit the top or my heel hung off the back slightly.) I ended up with a 9 for length but I would have preferred the width and depth of the 8.5 (the story of my narrow-foot life). The bungie tightening system works better than I thought and I like that it tightens the heel as well. Unfortunately, on my shorter foot, I have a hard time getting it right. It’s either too tight or too loose. If it’s too tight, the lining bunches in and rubs my big toe. If it’s too loose, my foot doesn’t stay at the right place in the shoe and my arch or the ball of my foot hurts. On both feet, I have about a quarter inch of space on either side of my toes. Weight: These shoes are lightweight enough not to cause fatigue. Comfort: I have worn these in the yard, to the playground, up and down stairs in an arena, and to Six Flags. They are fine for playing around, but I probably wouldn't hike in them since my foot slips in the shoe just a little too much on uneven ground. At the playground they were shock-absorbing enough for me to chase my son without discomfort. (The wood chips in my shoe were another issue, but it was easy enough to pull the shoe off to dump them out.) They were great for walking around for hours on asphalt/concrete at Six Flags. The bottoms of my feet did hurt a little, but I'm not sure it's possible to spend hours at an amusement park and not have my feet hurt, no matter the shoes. Contrary to other shoes, it was not a lasting ache. My feet generally hit a sweet spot after 5-10 minutes of walking, so the aforementioned issues are not present. The real problem so far has been the up and down stairs in the arena (following my son around, why else?). My foot kept slipping all over the place and I kept stopping to adjust the one shoe to no avail. But again, in most areas, they are fine. Waterproof-ness: I'm glad that they are waterproof because my son thinks we have to ride all the water rides every time we go to Six Flags. I have had no chafing in the 4 times we have gone. I wore them to the water playground and into the wave pool and I did not feel like I was going to slip. They have nice rubber soles. Color: I have the Dark Shadow/Ceramic color. I like that the gray is dark enough to not immediately show dirt, like I imagine the Neutral Gray would be. It also seems more neutral than the lighter gray of the “neutral gray”, so I feel like I can wear them with any color shorts, even my khaki shorts. The Ceramic is a nice teal green. Durability: These definitely seem like they will hold up for a long time. Other sandals I tried: I actually tried the Ahnu Tilden V first because it also had heel protection, but it was too deep for my foot and the footbed was very uncomfortable. (They were returned.) I tried on the Venice H2 in the store and they were too wide for my narrow foot and felt clunky. I also tried on the Croft and Barrow sport sandal at Kohl’s but the bottoms were plastic and I nearly fell jogging across the vinyl floor.

Shoes fit very well as described. Fast delivery.

I ordered a half size bigger because of problems I had with cheaper models. I am sure my normal size would have been ample. They are great

Not the most attractive but so comfortable you forget you've got them on and great for walking as they offer toe protection and you can get them wet. I have wide feet that are not easily pleased but I'm very happy with these and great to find in a half size making the perfect fit for me.
