KEEN Women's Clearwater CNX Sandal

If you only buy one pair of walking sandals in your life, buy these! The fit is exact and all encompassing - like wearing a supportive sock with a firm, cushioned sole! The heel strap, unlike some walking sandals, fits snugly round the heel in exactly the right place without slipping or chafing and there's even a small catch for the excess elastic after you've tightened it. Toes are well protected by a rubber bumper but without the toe-stubbing that one sometimes gets from these type of shoes. Perfect!This particular pair are blue with a pattern but I also have a the grey and the fuchsia-pink version. The blue look particularly good with rolled up jeans or shorts and I tend to wear them at home rather than for walking holidays so they'll only get field and pavement walking whereas the other pairs get some real hammer when I go on walking holidays. They stay in place in the roughest of terrain and if you're hot, you can stand in the nearest stream to cool your feet without any harm to the shoes. If you wear them in the sea you will get salt-stains when they dry so I'd recommend rinsing them in cold water afterwards. The manufacturer says you can actually put them in the washing machine but I've never tried this - I tend to just fill the sink with some tepid water and hand-washing liquid and give them a gentle wash. To get right down to the bottom of the foot-bed, I use an old toothbrush. It gets right into the toe and keeps your shoes feeling and smelling fresh. Put them in a warm, sunny place, preferably with the heels downwards to let the water drain out and they'll be dry in a couple of hours.I've had my grey ones for three years now and worn them up hill and down dale with hardly any signs of wear so if you are dithering over whether or not to buy some (they are quite expensive) I'd definitely say 'go for it' - you won't regret it - it's money well spent!

My daughter has worn a pair of these Keen sandals for a couple of years and adores them. They are suitable for extensive travelling in tropical climes and through water. We have also washed her pair and they have come up like new.So it was high time to order a pair for myself and I am truly delighted. I love the light blue canvas colour and the fact that these shoes have built in arches to support my feet, especially with the huge amount of walking mileage that I do. Beware: little stones, dust and dirt can enter! The soles are rubberised and have grip. My first foray with these was a 6 km hike through woodland and farmland. I wore them on a humid day with no socks. These sandals were brilliant and I am pleased to report that I experienced no friction and no blisters.I have had to order a whole size larger as not only do feet swell in the summer, but these do come up quite narrow. I also have small bunions and these are successfully concealed and accommodated with no problems.

I've had two pairs of Keen Venice sandals which I absolutely love, they are brilliant for walking or cycling. Unfortunately, the dog ate my most recent pair. I couldn't find the same colour and size to replace them so I went for these Clearwater instead, thinking they would be similar and as good quality. As soon as I got them out the box I realised they would not be suitable. They look flimsy, the sole doesn't look nearly as tough and then when I tried them on they were far too narrow. I returned them and managed to find another pair of Venice sandals instead, I will be keeping these well away from the dog.

My review is for the KEEN Women's Venice H2-w SandalsI paid £58.99 so it's worth keeping an eye on the price as I notice today they are over £70.I am usually a size 4 but these were only available in a 4.5 which I ordered and they did fit okay but the sandals were not very comfortable, especially the right one where I have a bunion which pushed out between the straps.Didn't look very nice on either so unfortunately there weren't for me and I have returned.

The shoes appeared to be very well constructed but there was a strap that was uncomfortable around my bunion therefore, I had to return them. The feedback scales do not allow explanation so i have had to select the nearest option but please read alongside this review.The delivery was first class and my request to leave them in my safe place was met.I struggle to try shoes on in the shops and greatly appreciate Amazon’s service. Trying shoes in my own home saves me from embarrassment and pain of putting shoes on and off repeatedly whilst (some) customers ‘tut’ at my slowness. Free returns give me confidence to seek shoes to meet my needs.

Bought for rugged dog walks and because I was so pleased with my previous pair and for the fact that this grey colour would go with just a bout everything. Unfortunately the size is not as good a fit as the pair I already have, even though it's the same, the main problem seems to be in the elastic drawstring lace as it's extremely long (or maybe previously stretched?). To get it right I have to double it over and feed it back over itself in both the keepers which is a bit annoying - it would actually trail if I didn't. Otherwise it is a really good sandal - good protection and support but airy as well. It's just a shame about the lace.

Another great product from Keen. Arrived promptly , well packaged in perfect condition.I ordered the size 7 and they fit perfectly. As like all my Keen foot wear they are wonderfully comfortable.I love the colour and intend to buy another pair for next summer. I hope there will be more colours available.I work in a Tropical Fish Shop and the floor is often wet.These sandals are great with good grip. Iv,e also worn them on a few countryside walks.Its great that you can pop them in the washing machine. They come out great ,ready for work the next day.My only downer is, If its warm your feet can get a bit sweaty.
