If you don't want the look of a sport sandal but you crave the traction and improved support, slip into Keen's elegantly detailed San Mateo Sandal this summer. The leather lining and embossed henna-inspired detailing add a refined touch, but the ergonomically shaped metatomical footbed on the San Mateo Sandal is perfect for those summer trips when you find yourself on your feet for hours at a time. Beneath the footbed is a cushioned compression molded EVA midsole that minimizes the shocks of repeated foot strike and a non-marking carbon rubber sole that's perfect for varied walking surfaces. If you want a little more fabric covering the toe area up front, check out the coverage on Keen's Carmel Sandal.
Fit Tip: Sandal will fit to size. I typically wear a 7.5 in other brands and in this Keen sandal I also wear a 7.5 perfectly. Ample room in the toe box area, but width is standard.
great shoe/sandal
so comfortable with a great arch support.Easy off and on.Looks great with any pant length, even shorts. get compliments on my cute shoes!
nice looking sandal
Look great and comfortable! I usually wear a 6 but re-odered a half a size up and feel much more comfortable...
Great and a bit dressy!
I was looking for something for work. I love my Keen Balis and these are a fancier version!

Comfortable!
I love the San Mateo sandal. I've even been wearing them with socks in colder weather. I may need another pair!
Comfortable comfortable sandal
fits like a glove and it is now the wife's favorite sandal for all around trekking through anything
a great slide!!
Bought these for the wife for her birthday, she wanted something simple and hopefully comfortable, easy to put on and with great support since she walks on concrete floors all day...I hit a winner on all counts with these sandals...Keen has done it again!!
Great keen sandals, true to size
Love my keen sandals . Wear them all the time and have several in different colors.
The best sandals ever.
This is my second pair of these sandals. They are comfy from day one and wear extremely well.
Shoes are terrific; Altrec was outstanding!
Ordering from Altrec was service above and beyond! Not only did they answer all my questions, but the shipping arrived a day earlier than estimated! The product was as advertised...just what I had desired.
I'd recommend you order from Altrec...I've already recommended them to others.
Very comfortable and true to size
I ordered these sandals because I injured my left foot and lost my big toenail. (Not attractive while it is growing back!) These sandals are perfect. Comfortable as my flip-flops, but hide the "ugly" toe!
Very comfortable from the first wearing.
After reading the reviews, I ordered 1/2 size smaller than my normal size, and the fit was great. I purchased the sandals for a vacation; and from the first wearing, the sandals were comfortable and did not need any breaking-in period.
a little funky
They're very comfortable , but it took a little to get used to seeing my toes on one side. I don't think I'd buy them in another color.
Very comfortable
These are very comfortable and run true to size with plenty of toe room, in my opinion. The only thing that bothered me is that the other side of the sandal is kinda awkward looking (you can find other views elsewhere) but you can't beat Altrec's pricing, customer service, and FAST shipping... For that I give an A+
Love my Keens
I'm very happy with my new San Mateo sandals. They're both comfortable and stylish. In fact, I wore them today on an airline flight and my seat partner complimented me on how great they look. And, Altrec's service was outstanding. This was my first purchase from Altrec, but will not be my last.
great for this nana!
I got my first pair of keen's (san mateo sandel) over a year ago....and love them so much i now have them in green and brown... they are just about the only shoe I have in my closet that i can wear all day....and still be able to walk!
Great sandals!!
I wore my sandals all summer. Got the second pair in different color and perfect for every wear-pants, shorts, skirts. Highly recommend them.
Love my Keen San Mateo sandals
I just took my new San Mateo sandals on vacation, and did a lot of walking. I love my Keens and have several, but this was the first pair of leather sandals with a leather footbed. I really loved walking in them, and they are even more comfortable than my Newports, which I thought would be impossible. I am now encouraging my husband to order a pair of men's leather Keens, he already loves his Keen sandals and hiking boots.
great sandal
I have been fighting getting keens thinking they were on the ugly side. When I saw the San Mateo Sandal I thought they were very nice looking. My husband always brags about his Keens and how wonderful they are. I decided to give them a try and they are one of the most comfortable sandals I own.
Just What I was Looking For
I need sandals year round. These slip right on and the foot bed fits my feet instantly. Nice style, casual, and roomy in the toes without looking huge!! Quick shipping, easy ordering. THANK YOU
MY FAVORITE SHOES ARE THOSE MADE BY KEEN!
I love Keen shoes and your prices are the best--I am getting ready to order two more pairs from you. Thank you for great product, great price, and super service.
San Mateos
Great comfortable shoe. I'm have to get away from flip flops at the office - so this was a good alternative. Great service, great price & fast delivery.
way better than I expected!!
I'm always leery of buying shoes online, but after reading the reviews about how "true to size" the San Mateos are and how comfy (I have knee and ankle issues so need good support); I decided to take the plunge. I am thrilled with these shoes and am planning on buying another pair before the supply is gone!! Also, great service from Altrec - I live in Victoria, BC but my order showed up within 4 days of ordering.
my favorite sandal!
I LOVE these! They are so comfortable and go with shorts, skirts, capris or anything! Very versatile!
fantastic SHOE!
I have a hard to fit foot and these are both really cute and nice looking but comfortable to wear from day one!
Excellent
I love my San Mateo sandal/slides. Very comfy with or without socks. Nice colors available. Good service and prices.
Great shoe! So comfy.
It's hard to find stylish sandals with close toes. Who wants to look at everyone's ugly nails. I plan on buying 2 more pairs different colors. Altrec has the best price.
Keen is the only sandle for me.
I teach and Keen's are the only brand that pamper my feet. I can be on my feet all day without any foot issues. Thank you.
Wonderfully comfy as well as great looking!
I love these sandals! First of all,they look great but even more important - they are sooo comfortable! I doubt I will need any other sandals this Summer!
Great sandal, great service.
I love these sandals. They're my second pair. I bought the first pair last year in the same color, but who cares when the shoes are this good. Last year, I had a flat tire. I was wearing these sandals and walked about three miles in gravel to get to a phone. My feet were perfectly happy (even if I wasn't). Great shoes!
I love my San Mateo's and Altrec!!!
I bought a pair of these last year, and because I loved them so much I bought another pair this year in another color. You have great customer service to go with your great products! Thanks a bunch!
Great shoe - my 2nd pair
I wore these in black all last summer, and was looking for the carob for this year. Altrec was great about emailing me when my size/color came in. Their price was great, too!
love 'em
I had 3, now 5 pairs of Keen sandals and love them. I have a hard time finding sandals for my situation. I had an accident as a teen with a lawnmower (it' not as bad as it sounds, I'm just self conscious) and like to hide my "partial" big toe and a friend had a pair and I said those were designed for me!! I can wear flip flops and feel very comfortable in them too. Love them on sale!!!
2007-07-18
The sandals arrived very quickly and fit well. This is my 8th. pair of Keens and I am very satisfied.
Love them!
These ran a little big. I ordered my usual size, and they stretched quite a bit. I suggest ordering a 1/2 size smaller. I love these sandals. I wear them almost everyday!
great sandal!
i love my keens- closed toe sandals a diabetics dream
great shoe
This is a comfortable, light-weight shoe. I have my friends try on my Keen shoes, and that is all it takes for them to want a pair,too. They run true to size.
San Mateo Sandal is great
This sandal is very comfortable. I found it true to size and conforms to the same size I've bought for other Keen shoes. Since I received them, I've worn them almost every day.
Great service
I love my new San Mateo Keen Sandal.They are very comfortable. The service from Altrec was great. They arrived within 2-3 days after ordering.
COMFORTABLE but a bit clunkier than the photo shows
This is a great slip-on, especially if you need a closed toe for work, but it's a lot clunkier than it looks in the photo. Still, I kept it. Too comfy not to.
above average
I love the quality of my sandals. The workmanship is excellent. I am happy with this purchase.
Very cute
I have had many compliments on these sandals. I bought them for work purposes. Great on cement floors, have good traction, but are still attractive in the office. Bought my regular size and had to return for one size smaller. Love them.
Really nice, but.............
I love Keens. I really do. I own five pair, but of all of them, the San Mateo's are the only pair that have given me a blister.
I have an average sized 7 1/2 foot. Not wide. I put my San Mateos on yesterday for the first time and immediately I got a blister on the top part of my foot where the leather touches.
These shoes are super cute, and the soles are very comfortable, like all Keens, but the leather, in my opinion is just a little too tight. I am hoping to break them in and/or buy some leather conditioner and hoping that will loosen them up a little bit.
I also own the Isabella slides, which are super cute, but a little too loose, and the Calistoga slides, which in my opinion, are the perfect pair of Keen slides.
I haven't given up on my San Mateos. I know I will get a lot of use out of them once I fix this problem.
comfy, but should have got the smaller size
I tend to be between sizes and it depends on the shoe. I was told by a friend to go with the larger size for Keens because they run small.... but I found this to be false. I should have stuck to the smaller size. And for my taste, they are a hair too wide for a medium width shoe.
Great shoes, unfortunately they don't fit.
The shoes were narrow- I would recommend getting a size larger than usual. Service, as always is great!
soles are great, inside of upper is poorly finished
of course these are comfortable -- keens have great soles -- but the insides of the uppers are rough, which, without socks, is uncomfortable
true to size
I have two other pairs of Keen shoes. I live in clogs and sandals, both ran large, bought a 1/2 size below what I normally do and they fit great. The Mateo Sandal must be true to size as they were too small when I ordered like I normally do with Keen.
