Women's Rose Casual Closed Toe Sandals

First--bought these at a slightly reduced price through Amazon resale. They came in box and appear to be unused--certainly EUC. Still $70 and I have open toed water hikers and hoped I would hate them. I don't. I think I love them. I've had Newports before and never was a huge fan but these look great and fit well. I was worried the closed toe would bump my toes. At my very standard size 9 it fits great and is roomy in the toes. The straps are comfortable. The unadjustable ankle strap others disliked is stretchy and works fine for me. I tested them with the hose and the insoles are nonskid--you'd be surprised at how many "water shoes" get slippery inside when they get wet. These have great traction both inside and on the outsole. The color appears pale pink but is more of a mauve and looks great with most of my hiking/kayaking gear. They check every box. I've got to keep them.

This is one of my favorite summer shoes ever. This is the second pair I’ve purchased. The first was years ago, but they still look great. I wanted more colors, so I bought this pair, and will probably buy more. They are so comfortable. The construction is very durable, and I appreciate the closed toe design. It feels like wearing a sandal with an athletic shoe sole. I’ve been wearing them to swim meets, and have never slipped due to the great traction. I definitely recommend this shoe!

I absolutely love these shoes. I am over 65 and want comfort and support no matter what I am doing. These shoes are stylish, cool , and comfortable. The sizing seems true. I ended up getting them in 3 colors. Whenever I find a good thing, I never stop at one!

I am rating this sandal 4/5 stars as it is a nice sandal and should fit most women. However, I have a wide foot with a high instep and these shoes were just a tad too tight due to the non-adjustable ankle strap. I read about this potential con before purchasing but because they looked so nice, I still wanted to try them on to see if they would work for me. They technically fit on my foot without trouble; the strap was just a tad but too tight for my comfort level. The strap would have *probably* loosened up had I had worn them around for a little while, but at $80, this wasn't a risk I was willing to take. I also ordered a pair of Keen Bali Strap sandals at the same time and those fit better with the adjustable ankle strap. Unfortunately, because of a product defect, I have to return those too. (Note: I've included a comparison of the Bali vs Rose sandal below since I wished I could have found a detailed comparison review for the two before purchase.) Overall, these sandals are cute and functional (hard combo to find!). The sole is supportive and the sandal would be extremely comfortable if it weren't for the non-adjustable ankle strap. Again, I think this wouldn't be a problem for the vast majority of women. My feet are very wide, very high instep (as a loving family member once told me...I have "man feet" :/) and they almost fit me, so they should fit *most* women just fine. KEEN Bali Strap vs Rose Comparison: -Rose has non-adjustable ankle strap; Bali has two adjustable straps at the ankle area. -Rose straps are made of softer material against the skin. It feels velvety as opposed to the typical cloth material of Keen Sandals. Both are comfortable but if the Rose straps fit me better, I would prefer their material. -Rose feels more secure because the toe straps go up higher on the foot. -Rose has a more cushioned sole. Bali Strap has a more contoured sole. In my opinion the sole of Rose would be better for long distance walking on relatively flat surfaces. Bali Strap sole would be better for climbing, or walking in rocky/unstable areas as the contoured sole gives the foot a better "feel" for the ground under the shoe. -Bali Strap has an awkward opening near the small toe which can allow the small toe to "escape" (especially if there is a manufacturing defect making the opening larger than it should be; see my Bali Strap review). The straps on the Rose are closer together, which effectively keeps those rouge little toes contained. If both sandals had fit me, I would have definitely preferred the Rose. However, the Bali Strap is the better option for my feet.

I absolutely love Keen Rose sandals. They feel great, provide foot support, they are appropriate for hiking and provide traction, you can get them wet, but best of all they are very attractive. I have since purchased them again in different colors. My original keen sandals have been worn often over the past 20 years. I just bought another pair due to changes in my feet which require smaller size. See photo of my new sandals vs my 20 year old sandals. They look only a bit worn. I would still be wearing the original sandals if I didn’t need to go down half a size. Great durability.

These are so pretty and comfortable. Bought them for my granddaughter, and they were 1/2 size too small, only because her feet are really wide. Returned and went 1/2 size up and now they are perfect. She loves the color and the comfort most.

They are tight - maybe size up? The ankle strap has an elestic strap under it that prevents you from easily getting your heel into the shoe and the leather around the toes is pretty tight - guessing they need to be stretched to feel comfortable and get a foot in there. I dont have wide feet , but these are tight and the sides of my feet and heels are hanging over the edge of the shoe when I get it on. My feet look like a like 2 saussages squishing out of the shoes - I have narrow feet... hopefully they stretch They are cute - they aren't painful - yet - but If they don't stretch I can see blisters starting. The other thing I don't like is that the foot bed is rubber - it's not breathable at all - I thought it might be - so these don't really keep your feet cool like Merrell's do or even clarks or Naturalizer Soul shoes.. - they do kind of feel cheap b/c of the rubber foot bed.. Kind of weird to have a rubber foot bed and leather uppers? rubber for water shoes- but the leather can't get wet.. They also don't have as much arch support as Merrells do. Not sure they are worth it

I bought these for our recent Hawaii vacation. I'm so glad I brought these rather than tennis shoes. It was hot and humid. These were perfect for all walking events at the volcano national park and hillside excursions. No slipping, very comfortable out of the box, never experienced any pain while wearing. The only thing I'm bummed about is they went on sale after purchase but it was definitely worth full price for comfort while on vacation.

Ich habe mir den Schuh vor 3 Wochen bestellt, da ich auf der Suche nach einem bequemen Schuh war, der sportlich aber auch einen touch schick aussieht und mit dem ich wunderbar meinen zwei Kindern hinterher komme - bei jeglichen Bedingungen! Da meine Kinder bereits seit zwei Jahren begeistert Keen Sandalen tragen, dachte ich mir - ich schau mal was es da so für mich gibt. Und mit diesem Schuh habe ich meinen absoluten, perfekten Freizeitschuh gefunden! Ich liebe die Farbe, den Style (eine Mischung aus sportlich schicker Sandale) und vorallem aber den Tragekomfort! Man zieht die Schuhe an, und es fühlt sich an als ob sie mit den Füßen eine Symbiose eingehen - nichts reibt oder drückt, das Material fühlt sich wunderbar an am Fuß und er ist so perfekt verarbeitet das er wirklich an keiner Stelle drückt - er ist super bequem. Ich kann damit ins Wasser gehen - das ist mir wichtig, denn meine Jungs lieben den kleinen Fluß nebenan und der ist sehr steinig. Manchmal muss Mama eben super schnell hinterher und zur Stelle sein - bei diesen Schuhen kann ich einfach loslaufen, ohne mir einen Kopf darüber zu machen, denn sie sind Wasserfest und absolut Outdoortauglich! Habe ich erwähnt das ich sie liebe? Was mache ich nur im Winter, ich wills sie gar nicht mehr aussziehen!!! Übrigens liebe ich auch das meine Zehen sicher verpackt sind - selbst Fussballspielen mit meinen Jungs geht wunderbar in diesen Schuhen! Wohooooo! Besser gehts nicht. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!!!! ;-)

Love love love my sandals very comfortable and can wear all day

Very comfortable and great support over hills and on the beach while keeping my feet cool in a very warm weather. + they look good with trousers shorts and a sun dress. Love them!

Die Sandalen sind klasse, sehr bequeme Laufsohle, trotzdem hübsch am Fuß. Leider haben sie mich am Verschluss gedrückt, deshalb zurück.

Superschuh, leicht, komplett outdoortauglich + trotzdem recht elegant durch die schräg (statt wie meist quer) laufenden Bänder über dem Mittelfuß. Achtung: Wenn frau (wie ich) vorn etwas hochgewölbte große Zehen hat (+ keine ganz flach auslaufenden), sollte sie eine halbe Nr. größer nehmen, als gewöhnlich, da die schwarze Kappe eher eng bemessen ist.
