Shoe runs about 1/2 size small, but otherwise I use for casual wear, kayaking, light hiking, & to and from work. Seems durable and versitile. A little high priced, but EMS offered best price I found after searching.

This is a great all around shoe especially on a boat and at the beach. However they are brutal getting on when new (but they stretch a bit with wear) and almost impossible to get on when your foot is wet.

These sandals are super comfortable and I thought they would be great in the water (which they technically are), but when you get out of the water they are slippery as trying to walk on a frozen pond covered in ball bearings. I wasn't even walking on wet rocks. They were bone dry with no slime. That's the only reason I returned these immediately. I have Teva's and Vasque's that have super sticky tread, and for [$] sandals I expect the same.

I'll start with the only issue I have with the sandals. The top strap consists of a one piece neoprene wrap. Meaning there is no way to reduce tension to a certain extent even if the laces are completely loose. Because they place the top strap a little too low on the foot there can be too much pressure applied gently cutting off circulation. Only people with high arches need be concerned with this though. Otherwise the shoes are comfortable and very breathable. Splitting the neoprene or moving the last strap a 1/4 is all it would take to solve this issue.

I've really been looking for a comfortable and well-rounded sandal that's durable but also comfortable. Being able to handle the water as well is a must have.

this is my second pair. Not because my 3 year old pair wore out. I just decided I needed another color. The newer ones are a bit shorter in length, but maybe they stretch over time in the straps.
I hope this design sticks around for a long time.

Women with WIDE feet should definitely order the Men's H2. After many a try I finally have the purrrfect fit!! My feet are soo comfortable walking, hiking, standing even dancing. Extremely versatile, more than just a sandal it's a warm & wet weather sneaker as well!! Looks great with skirts too!

As a resident of NYC I've always been a little apprehensive towards wearing sandals out in the street. I'm worried that I'm going to step in something nasty and have it stuck to my foot all day. I finally got over it and bought these Keens after my wife recently purchased a similar pair. I am glad that I bought these. Although I don't consider myself trendy, I do think that these sandals are very stylish as well as functional. My only complaint is that this particular model doesn't breathe as well as I hoped. If you walk too long (over 5 miles) you're feet will get a bit moist and stink significantly. Four other of my family members have bought similar Keens and are satisfied as well

Great sandal. Super comfort - I can walk as far in these as in hiking boots. Sufficient padding in the sole, no chafing, and cool with or without socks. My only gripe is - They are a bit pricey and the sizes run small, otherwise I Love 'em!

Excellent sandal as long as that's what you're using it for. The inside has good cushion, but don't expect it to be durable like a running shoe. I enjoy the ease of use when putting them on as well.
