Keen Whisper has ruined me for all other shoes

Keen Womens Whisper Bluestone Neutral

Keen Womens Whisper Bluestone Neutral

I purchased these shoes after looking at dozens! Most were heavy and oddly shaped and very clunky. This shoe is light weight and actually fits nicely to the foot....perhaps a wider foot would find it uncomfortable but I am a medium width and it was a good fit. I did go a size smaller for the best sizing. I used the shoe the first time for trekking in the Galapagos islands. The terrain there is rocky, landings were often wet, we were always getting on and off the zodiak and lava was a major was ever present on our walks. The shoes were comfortable, they provided excellent support and they dried quickly. These things were very important to me since I had sprained my ankle just before arriving on the islands. For the 12 days that I wore these shoes, my ankle never bothered me.

  2. The design is good for people with narrow heals because the elastic tightens the sandals around the whole ankle, not just at the front. The sandals are very comfortable with or without socks and wet or dry. I can wear them comfortably all day at the amusement/water park. I would prefer them in a light neutral color, such as tan, but they were only available in red, black, and celery.

  3. The women's Whisper sandal was right on target as far as sizes go. I actually purchased a half size smaller because of the previous reviews, but now wish I hadn't, because they are about a half size too small. But still I absolutely love them! We went to the Grand Canyon and Sedona for 10 days and I wore them every single day. Good support, very comfortable!

  4. The Keen Whisper is a nice little sports sandal, washable and lightweight. I have found the Whisper style to have a footbed that is a bit more narrow than the other styles of Keen sandals. If you have wide feet this style may not be for you. Also the arch support is not quite as high and the sole is not as heavy and rugged at the other styles. This style however is more feminine than the Newport, Venice and Laguna styles I also wear. I would wear the whisper in town for shopping etc. and the other styles when I need a stronger, thicker sole and more support for outdoor activities. I own 7 pairs of Keens and they are the most comfortable sandals I have tried.

  5. This is THE FIRST pair of shoes I have experienced that have felt incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I wore them all day, took them off at night, then had to put them back on to do house cleanup...they're MORE comfortable than bare feet! I will be living in these this summer.

  6. I discovered the Keen brand completely by accident. I was looking for a pair of comfortable shoes to help me survive a week at Disney World without blisters and tired feet. I first bought the Venice H2 and it's phenomenal. There are some distinct differences between that shoe and this one. Unlike other reviews I find these run true to size. The Whisper is much narrower than the Venice H2. Surprisingly, even when my feet begin to swell the shoes are still extremely comfortable. The color is rich and amazing and I can't wait to use them in Florida!

  8. Just got these in the mail today and love them already! Seem to be true to size since my average size is a 9 and the 9 fits great. However, I have a fairly narrow foot, so they may not fit as well if you have very wide feet. Very comfortable, elastic straps are easy to adjust and don't rub, breathes pretty well and traction is great. Feels like I could hike a mountain in these. Athletic/sporty looking without being bulky or ugly.
