KEENWomen's UNEEK Classic Two Cord

Actually, I didn't really know what to expect with the size because I'm a man and these are women's sandals. A size 9 Keen fits me perfectly and I found a conversion table online that indicated women's shoes are 1.5 sizes higher than men's (Why the heck this is, I'll never know), so I took advantage of the new "Prime Wardrobe" feature (more on this later) to order two pairs of Keen's women's sandals. To be on the safe side, I ordered one pair, women's size 10.5 (These, the "Crabapple” model) and another women's size 11. The size 11 sandals were only slightly too long and the size 10.5 were slightly too narrow, so the conversion rule isn't perfect; but only "slightly" off. As I know these shoes stretch, slightly, with wear, I went with these 10.5 shoes and returned the othersI love these sandal/shoes by Keen. They are comfortable, colorful, and very well made. I wear them year round, but they are particularly great in the summer because, like flip-flops, they allow your feet to breathe and stay cool, but remain in place and present no problems in term of walking or running. I already have three pairs and I've been on the lookout for more. They are by no means as cheap as flip-flops so I can't afford to indulge myself with other shades of blue, green, and brown (and Keen offer a wide variety of these shades plus other colors) so I've been looking for distinctly different colors. This Fig/Crabapple model caught my eye because of the color which is a little more of an orange shade than the pinkish shown in the photo (A good thing IMO). The problem was it is only offered in a woman's model. While there may be a difference in the design of Keen men's sandals and their women's version, I can't detect it, so it really only came down to the sizing. 10.5 isn’t perfect, but if they stretch only a little bit, it will be. I don’t foresee using my new found knowledge of shoe sizing to purchase a lot of women’s shoes for myself. For me, at least, it’s only applicable for shoes or sandals that are basically unisex to begin with and I think these Keen sandals are just that.A word on Prime Wardrobe: I assume, by the name, that it is only available to Prime Members but if you shop with any regularity you really do need to become a member. You will recoup the membership fee on shipping costs savings alone, plus you receive all sorts of great extras. Now Prime Wardrobe is one of them and it too is great. Briefly, you can order up to 8 articles of clothing and have them shipped to you within a few days. You pay ZERO $, and this applies to shipping too. After the items arrive, you have 7 days to try them on for size, judge the colors and designs in the real world, and do just about anything else you might normally do when shopping in a bricks & mortar retail store. If you want to keep one, more or all of the items, you don't have to do anything (although Amazon requests you go to your online order and indicate your intent to keep them) Whenever you advise Amazon you want to keep one or more items, or after seven days from receipt, you will be billed at the item's price at the time of your original order. If you decide not to keep something you simply return to the original order and indicate you are returning it. Doing so is a breeze. The items are shipped to you with a prepaid return UPS label and the box the items arrived in has a resealing sticker attached. All you have to do reseal the box (with the returns inside :) ) slap on the label and drop it off at your nearest UPS store. At no point is there any cost to you.Obviously the returned items can't be damaged or display obvious wear and you are supposed to return them in their original packing, but these are hardly unreasonable requirements. This is my first use of the feature and so I can't report on whether or not the return smoothly finalizes, but I've no concern that it won't. Amazon may have thought, when putting this feature together, that some buyers will not get around to returning goods they don't really want and will end up paying for them, but I don’t think it’s, at a major concept for them. I know this is a motivation of other retail sites that offer this sort of "Test For Free" feature but the one's I've seen, charge your credit card upfront and issue a credit when the returned goods are received, and/or make it unnecessarily difficult to return any items. This is definitely not the case with Amazon. Pretty sure that their primary motivation for offering this feature is to capture sales they might have been losing because the buyer wasn't comfortable purchasing items without a test-run. Unless something goes bad with the return (which I don't at all expect to happen) there is absolutely no trickery involved with Prime Wardrobe. I intend to use it all of the time from now on.

Can't offer enough praise for these unique, totally cool shoes. Comfy right out of the box and continue to be. They offer really good stability with a sense of whimsy...love it! I get compliments every time I wear them...people asking WHERE to get for themselves. I went with my usual size and the fit is perfect. Love them so much I found another pair in another color which are equally GREAT!!

These shoes are made well, feel comfortable, easy to wear with just about everything. If you have a wide foot and you need a good pair of shoes that you feel comfortable in, it’s these. Try them and find out for yourself.Carol Devlin

I have had these shoes for half of a day and I am so in love with them! I got the Zinfandel color and it is just gorgeous! I ordered these as an alternative to my Chacos for a trip to Ireland this summer in order to spare my feet from the limestone we will be hiking on. I know these arent technically closed toed shoes, but they sure do feel like it! The cords are very flexible and move according to your foot. I enjoyed the nice weather today with these on and theyre perfectly breathable, so the sun doesnt feel so intensely hot on my feet. I see on the sole of the shoe it says "anatomical footbed", and i can only guess that the material is supposed to morph to your foot, because the heels are already feel molded to my foot shape. The pictures of the tread on Amazon dont do justice, the tread is deeper than expected. These sandals should wear slowly, but only time will tell! I was absolutely in love with this style of shoe before I got it, and many of my friends advised me that they were too ugly to purchase, but upon recieving them and posting them on social media, everyone who once doubted the style learned that in reality, they're cute! These sandals are extremely comfortable, and it is unfortunate that they rank higher in comfort and flexibility than my chacos I've had for over a year. The size I ordered fit perfectly, and ive always ignored my 8 1/2 size foot and stook to 9s. I have not had to adjust these shoes, but that is just a personal experience. There is the slightest rubbing on top of my right toes but Im almost certain this will go away after a few days. I am so incredibly happy with them! Thanks Keen!

Very light and comfortable to walk in. Definitely better on land than on sand. Lots of sand gets in the crevices which is definitely to be expected.

For years I have been looking for a sandal that covers my toes, stays on my feet securely, comfortable, and doesn't look like I took them out of my grandmother's closet or just climbed Mount Everest-- which were the only sandals that checked all of those boxes until now. I was a little worried with some of the photos that they would make my feet look like those of a platypus, but they are actually cute and more conforming than they appear in the pictures. If I can offer some input though I would say the same thing that others have said in the reviews-- go up half a size from your normal. I'm not going thru the hassle to return them, but they are snug and I would have been much happier with a little more room. Hopefully they will stretch after some wear. I will definitely order these again!
