KEEN Women's Whisper Adventure Sandal

LOVE THEM, I buy these for absolute breathability, light weight, covered toe area (no stubbing toes), and a wide enough toe box, for me (due to bunions). They're easy comfortable wear with no socks or with socks either way. Super easy breaking in, if even needed, not like a lot of shoes. The elastic lacing is adjustable to fit your feet the way you want them too. When I first get a new pair, I usually loosen lacing all the way, & adjust for my feet These last for Years because quality is great. I can wear these feeling safe & secure... I am 70 yr old & I feel confident I won't slip & fall, it's ok if they get wet, great outsole on them too, that doesn't wear down at all. The covered toe box & the back keeps me safer too. I've been wearing Keens for many years because they last so long. I'll buy another pair in the next year or so to replace my brown ones I've had for years already. Keens are more expensive, than some cheap brands, but for the quality, longevity, & comfort I buy! ** I advise order up in size & I think that's maybe because, my opinion only, of the color. I find many shoes & pants that are black tend be be smaller on me. I also think this "style", Whisper, is more snug fitting I ordered up & they're perfect! I have always ordered up in size with KEEN brand anyway, but these black whisper needed a little more size up, for me. I buy their fully closed in shoes in addition to sandals too, I love my Kaci & Kaci ll, & I've also had their other styles for hiking, walking, etc... again they seriously last for years LOVE MY KEENS ALWAYS I highly recommend! Expensive for me, lower income, but longevity always keeps me coming back!! Well worth it to me for the last 18 years!

I never liked Keen's when the first came out because they looked like giant clown shoes with that big ol toe bumper. But I've been looking for a replacement for my Teva sandals, (which really have a tough time handling the trail and last only about a year for me) and came across these and was real impressed with the redesigned look. They're much more slimlined than the old ones and once I received them and put them on, found that they were super lightweight yet clearly wellmade. They do take some getting used to getting them on, but I found after a few weeks they were much easier than in the beginning. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I have to go up a half size because there was no way my 8.5 feet were getting into their 8.5 shoes. Nonetheless, the 9s fit nicely and I'm trail-walking about 5 miles a day in them and my feet feel great. Walking this much in them I find I have to wash them every couple days, but they dry up in the sun nicely in just a couple hours so its not a big deal. They're a little pricey, but worth it if they last a couple years. I like them so much I bought another pair! I'm sold on Keen Whispers!

I bought these for a recent trip to Hawaii. I am not a hiker, hence the last minute purchase for reference. I wore them on an 8-mile hike right off the bat, and needless to say they were absolutely fantastic. They didn’t rub uncomfortably or need a break in period. I ordered true to size and they fit like a dream, the drawstring helps loosen or tighten. They are fairly stylish for the type of shoe and were incredibly sturdy. Would recommend these for anyone looking for a great quality product. Although the price could be a bit deterring, spend the money and get a quality product you know is going to last and get the job done efficiently.

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.

These sandals are well-made, beautiful colors and very comfortable. They are lightweight and it feels almost like walking barefoot. I have extremely narrow feet and I first cinched them up too tightly. They are difficult to get on my feet, but, once they are on, they are easy to adjust. Like others, I soon realized they don't need to be tight. I got a blister on my ankle bone the first time I wore them. They rub on my ankle bones but it doesn't bother me when I loosen them. I may have high arches because I don't feel any arch support. Its not a problem because I wasn't expecting to feel arch support. I think they look cute and do not make my size 9 feet look like clown feet. I bought two colors; one birch and the other pair is almost black with a little blue detail.

Love these shoes for summer fun. Water friendly, adjustable, sturdy and great for hiking. Also great for chasing the kids through the yard & sprinkler! The Whisper style is more of a narrow fit compared to the Newport, so they fit me much better!

I have been wearing these shoes for 10 years now and this is my third pair. I cannot tell you how comfortable they are! Truly some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. One of my favorite things about them is that they are sandals but I don’t have to have pedicures to wear them. The size and fit are consistent every time I buy them. If it helps, I am 67 years old and I can walk all day in them with no problem. Plus they are cute and go well with my jeans. They last a very long time with daily wear. I usually have two pair and switch back and forth. You will not regret buying these😙

Love love love these shoes. I had to buy a new pair after 10 years only because I seemed to have misplaced my old ones, sadly. My first pair had been all over the world. Perfect for water, hiking, and everyday use. Very comfortable too! I do have to break in the new ones and I am getting blisters around my ankles which I do remember with my first ones too. I still highly recommend though!

Would and have recommended this footwear to lots of fellow walkers. They are comfortable and fit really well. The sizing was spot on.

Igual de bonitas que en la foto! La primera vez que compro esta marca. Me cogí mi talla habitual, y me han parecido súper cómodas. Ahora en verano las usaré todo el tiempo! Me parece un puntazo que la parte delantera sea ancha, estilo barefoot. Es un buen regalo para quien quiera andar disfrutando de la pisada!!

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

Pas d’envoi direct dans mon pays du coup frais supplémentaires et lenteur de livraison. Mais très bon produit.

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.
