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!

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!

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!

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.

I love Keen sandals. Soooo comfortable. I wear a pair everyday to keep my feet and legs comfortable 🙂. They are adjustable to fit the top of the foot just right!

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!

Best shoes! They feel very flexible and easy to move your feet in. I like that because you don’t have to break them in like other shoes. These cans are so versatile! We have four seasons in yet I find myself wearing them all year round with socks or no socks. They are great waterproof shoes that don’t stink! Very happy with my second pair. The taupe/coral was the best color in my opinion. Versatile and very flattering for my skin tone.

Keens are the best water sandals. They protect my toes, my feet don't slip inside them, and last forever (these replace a 12 year old pair that I've walked the tread off of). Fit perfectly with no break in.

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.
