Keen Women's Whisper Sandal Reviews Page 2

a feminine-looking Keen sandal
March 09, 2011

This is my favorite Keen sandal. It does everything the Newport H2 and the Venice H2 can do, but with a decidedly more feminine style. It is great for hiking, kayaking and canoeing, like the other 2, but it is much lighter on the feet. This make a huge difference when trying to swim against a river current. It also looks great with a dress, not heavy and clunky. This Keen also runs true to size. I am usually an 8 1/2 or 9 in most shoes and the Whisper 9 is perfect. I need a 9 1/2 in the Venice and a 10 in the Targhee and other Keen hiking boots. I do have fairly wide feet and the width is fine, but the adjustability makes it a good fit for most widths.

Comfortable right out of the box
March 03, 2011

I got my Whispers today, put them on and went hiking for 2-1/2 hrs. They were comfortable from the first minute and they have been comfortable all day. I don't want to take them off! I got the tan and violet ones and I think they are pretty for a sandal with toe protection--I have never had a sandal with toe protection before. I'll put them to the test this summer!

My first pair of "Keen's"----what great walking shoes ! My feet always get so hot while walking --so I thought I would try a pair of these, Great support---never even had to break them in--comfortable right from the first walk !!!!!

Comfortable while breaking in
February 01, 2011

Bought these for a trip to Belize in April, so I've just been wearing these to break them in. They do seem very comfortable, even though they are a big long. I bought my normal sneaker size, which is an 8 1/2, and there is a bit of room. But a half size smaller may have been too tight, so I'm going to keep this size. I'm not a huge fan of the style, but based on the reviews of quality and the multi-tasking ability of these shoes, they seem to be a perfect match for any vacation that involves a mix of hiking, swimming, etc. The price wasn't bad, either.

Great Value, and Great Customer Service!
January 31, 2011

I had always heard about Keen Sandals, so I bought some for our upcoming trip to Hawaii. I purchased size 8, which is the size I use for hiking and walking shoes, but it was a little big. I returned that pair right away and ordered size 7-1/2, which fits just great. The lesson is to buy the size you buy for other sandals. But I do want to comment on the great customer service at Altrec -- they are very quick to reply to emails, and they really aim to please the customer. Both orders arrived very quickly, and the process of returning the first pair and ordering the replacement pair was painless. I will definitely buy from Altrec again!

Can't wait for Spring
January 18, 2011

I read all the excellent reviews on Keens, and bought my first pair hoping they will be everything everyone says! I live on a farm and do all my own barn chores and gardening. In the summer, wearing flip flops is putting the health of your toes at risk. I do it, but it's a dangerous risk around with unruly alpacas and horses. And digging with a shovel in flip-flops is ill-advised at best. I bought these hoping for something more stable and shoe-like, that I can get wet, yet clean up easily and dry quickly. The price seemed a bit dear, but if they fit the bill I am willing to pay it. I've put the Whispers on and wandered around the house and the comfort is superb. They are light, sturdy and cute enough to run around town in. I really like how they look on my foot given my practical uses for them. They do run true to size. I am between an 8 and an 8 1/2. I ordered a pair of the Waimea Flip-Flops in an 8 and the Whispers in an 8 1/2. The flip flops were adorable, but too small. So they are sadly going back. Of course, I have to wait until it gets warmer to really put these to the test, but if they clean up as well as other reviewers say, I will be a VERY happy campler. I'm happy enough now to go ahead and order another pair of Keens while they are on sale.

Protective footwear for a beachside or trial
January 07, 2011

The Keens Whisper sandals are excellent in their design. They protect your toes from any kind of damage. They serve best for the beaches and hiking on trails during summers where there are chances that you will collect pebbles in your footwear. They easily dry and doesn't smell. I am satisfied by the design and fabric but a little bit expensive.

You folks rock!
December 30, 2010

I ordered three pair of keen sandals! Good price, great colors and fast great service. Back to order another pair. Thanks

I purchased these sandals for my wife as a Christmas gift. She has been wanting a pair the Whisper Sandal for a while, but never purchased. The sandals arrived within about 3 days with no issues. The sandals fit true to size and are true to size. She is 5'6" and weighs about 120 pounds, and usualy has some difficulty getting shoes to fit properly, but these fit great! She loves the orchid colored trim on the sandal and finds them very comfortable. She wanted these for hiking and around town use. Because it is winter in Chicago, she will not be putting these to the full test until spring, however, her sister has had the same sandal for a couple of years now and they wear well and are extremely comfortable which is why my wife wanted them.

Terrific Fit!
December 27, 2010

Fits and forms to your feet- not too wide! This shoe is "true to size" so there is no need to order down or up. I am on my feet all day and have had heel spurs and major pain and this shoe is COMFORTABLE. I plan on buying another pair! LOVE THIS SHOE!

Great Shoes size problems
December 14, 2010

Just got my Keen whisper shoes in the post today for a trip to Costa Rica. Loved the shoes the color and they styling were great. These shoes will be perfect for my trip they are light weigh and will dry out quickly when they get wet. The only problem I would have to say with the shoes is that from the site and all the review I was told to order a 1/2 size bigger that my normal shoes size as the shoes ran small. Unfortunately this did not work for me the shoes came in and are too big so I will be returning them for a smaller size. I would suggest before ordering go and try some on so that you get the right fit.

Love these!
December 12, 2010

I love the lightness of this shoe. It looked like it would be heavier than they really are! Love the light green color that I got and they fit pretty true to size. The only thing I dont like about them is having to loosen the strap in the back to get them on everytime. I would like if they just slipped on my foot, but I guess having the adjusting strap makes them fit better and not get too loose. I also like that they are very protective on your feet. you just cant do the same things in flip flops that you can do in these sandals...very versitile. Overall a great purchase!

December 06, 2010

I have a wide foot. So the shoe did not fully cover the sides of my foot. If you have a regular or narrow foot, then this shoe will fit well.

Great sandals
November 30, 2010

Very comfortable and durable sandals. These are what you would expect from Keen. I highly recommend them!

Not quite as awesome as other designs
November 11, 2010

I love Keens and wear them as often as weather permits. I also own Newport and Venice designs. The Whispers fit just a little bit differently. In the equivalent size, they seem to be longer and narrower than the others. I'm sure this will work great for some, but sunk this pair to last-pick on sandal days at my house. Still comfortable and well-built.

Great Value
November 10, 2010

I tried on the Keen Whisper Sandal locally because I needed an update to my water/hike sandals. They fit great but the price was really more than I wanted to pay. After finding them on Altrec for 1/3 less than my local store, I immediately ordered them--free shipping! They were exactly what I expected, exactly what I ordered. Very satisfied customer.

Can't take them off.
November 10, 2010

I love my new Whispers. I have Keen hiking boots which I am very happy with so I didn't hesitate to try another Keen product. I wasn't disappointed. I took them out of the box and they haven't left my feet. They are light weight too. I haven't tested them in water yet but the fit and comfort are great.

Great sandals!
October 08, 2010

Very cute and comfortable! I'm very happy with these sandals. They're versatile and great for long walks or getting wet. The adjustable strap makes getting the right fit very easy, and they look great too!

I am the only reason these aren't perfect!
October 04, 2010

I love these shoes! I have never worn Keens before but had seen a bunch of my outdoorsy buddies sporting them. A few days before a camping trip I ordered 2 pairs. One a half sized smaller than the other. Once I tried them on and decided that the smaller ones would "stretch" I opted to return the others. After wearing them my entire trip (water, sand, dirt, campfire soot, etc included) there wasn't an ounce of permanent stretch. I suppose that is a sign of quality - apparently one I was hoping didn't exist in these shoes. Seriously, it is my fault that I can't give these a perfect rating. It is getting cooler here, but I think I am going to keep the other pair too...that way I am set for the next warm outing. Oh yeah, I have big feet...size 11. I was worried that these would make my feet look even bigger. No way! The thinner straps and seemingly narrower profile look great. My husband says I am addicted to Nikes...watch out honey - here come the Keens!!

Great Product, waterproof feature is the best. After shoes dry you would never know you got them wet!

Whisper Sandals are Keen!!
September 27, 2010

These sandals are awesome! I have had a couple foot surgeries and have to be careful with what shoes/sandals I buy. I also have wide feet and these sandals are quite roomy and the adjustable feature is great. These sandals are a perfect fit and are extremely comfortable. I have had many compliments on them.

Great shoes!
September 08, 2010

I bought these shoes for a trip to Costa Rica, where I would be hiking, whitewater rafting, going to the beach, and traveling non-stop (little time for shoes to dry). They were great! I wore them pretty much everyday for 10 days. They dried quickly after being submerged during rafting, and they were completely fine for hiking, with or without socks. The only thing was, about 15 days after I started wearing them, one of the outside pieces on the ankle started to come off--the thread was unraveling. Altrec.com would have done a return/exchange with free shipping, but they were out of my color and size, so I would have lost my overall great shoes. So I filed a warranty claim with Keen, which gave me a promotion code for a new pair of shoes. Glad for that!

I Love This Shoe!
August 28, 2010

I've been wearing this shoe doe the last year. It is the only shoe I wore for our entire 12 day vacation that included hiking, swimming, walking, site seeing, water parks, etc. It is the most comfortable all-purpose shoe I've ever worn.

excellent buy
August 18, 2010

love love love this sandal!! they fit true to size for me and are insanely comfortable!!

Very comfortable sandal
August 17, 2010

They fit great and feel really good on my feet, they are like wearing slippers.

They exceeded my expectations
August 12, 2010

My Keen Whisper Sandals have not left my feet since they arrived. Since I have bunions and heel problems the Podiatrist recommended closed toe and heel shoes. These Keens are perfect for the foot issues I have been experiencing. My feet are fully supported. They are very light weight and fit like a glove. The toe box is a little wide but perfect for the bunions!

Great walking sandal!
August 12, 2010

I've worn these every day since I bought them, and I do about 5 miles a day of city walking. They are comfortable for walking long distances, and cool enough for the hot outdoors but warm enough for the air-conditioned indoors. Good toe protection and secure fit around the heel. I found them to be true to size.

quirky and comfortable
July 27, 2010

No break-in period required. The red color is catchy. It may not be the easiest shoe to wear with all outfits unless you are a casual dresser 100% of the time. The size is about a 1/2 size small but still fits well since you can tighten it with the straps.

Excellent sandal!
July 23, 2010

These sandals are very comfortable and form very well to your foot. I recommend these to all outdoor enthusiasts.

fit horrible
July 16, 2010

I usually LOVE Keen shoes. My entire family has a pair...4kids hubby and I. So when I saw the new WHISPER sandal I ordered myself two pair... one with a strap on back, one without a strap... THEY DO NOT FIT CORRECTLY. Right size, but my foot hangs off the back and the top part of my foot does not go all the way up into the top part of the shoe. I have tried to tighten the strings which helps a little, but hurts too bad to keep that way. I'm so disappointed because they look great. We have been on a year long trip around the U.S. camping and hiking with 4 small kids and Keens are great shoes... just didn't have luck with this pair :(

great
July 09, 2010

Love my new keen whisper sandals. Very comfortable. Will purchase another pair again

I'm so keen on Keen's!
June 27, 2010

These shoes are fantastic for hiking on rough trails and crossing streams. Wading rivers--no sweat. You still slip on those algae-covered rocks, but the grip is better than anything else out there. Very comfortable.

Good support, lightweight, versatile
June 24, 2010

I love these whisper sandals. They are very lightweight and have great support. The size is a little "loose" or wide in the toe area, even though I ordered my true size which is 8. But this isn't very bothersome at all. Quality is excellent. They work well with or without a sport sock. I enjoy wearing them without socks when I'm bike riding! I bought the brindle/regal orchid color and love them!

Great sandals, just a little on the narrow side!
June 21, 2010

Comfortable sandal, true to size. Definitely more on the narrow side as compared to their other sandals such as the Newport.

Love the shoe
June 16, 2010

I have a really high arch, I think I should have purchased a smaller size because it's hard to get my toes all of the way to the front. Other than that I love the shoes!!

very comfortable shoe! i just wore it recently to climb the Mayan Ruins in Mexico & it was perfect for that journey! i never had any difficulties...it was just like wearing tennis shoes & socks. This is an incredibly comfortable shoe. It is also easy to clean!! I LOVE KEEN shoes!!

Keen sandals - Excellent
June 07, 2010

I ordered these for our daughter's birthday after she was admiring a pair that I bought for myself about one year ago. She loves them, fit well, comfortable and stylish. Now our son wants a pair for his upcoming birthday as well. Altrec had a good price and delivered exactly when they promised to do.

June 01, 2010

I ordered a pair of these sandals for my girlfriend & she totally loves them. Said they are the most comfortable & lightweight sandal she has ever worn and plans to order another pair soon. Altrec had the best price of all internet sites we checked out.

Great sandals!
May 18, 2010

Wearing these shoes is like going barefoot! I love the beet color--the ft is true to size. I want this shoe in other colors!
