Super comfortable, but the quality gets worse every year.
I love wearing these all summer. The footbed has great arch support and with the toe bumper I even hike in them. The first pair I bought years ago lasted 3 years, but after that the quality got worse and worse. I've been replacing them every year because the thong blows out. Fine if they were dime store flip flops, but for the money Keen asks, they should last longer. This last pair blew out in five months. Didn't even last the full season.

I bought these flip flops because I am a longtime fan of the Waimea style with the protective toe-guard. I actually use my last existing pair of Women's 11 as my bedroom slippers. They are slightly too short for me. However, Keen in their infinte wisdom has discontinued the women's version. I bought the men's 10.5 since several users here said that was the equivalent of a woman's 12, but was sadly disappointed. I've actually had this experience before, that the KEEN men's shoes are WAY WIDER than the women's shoes and sandals. The webbing was above my toes by a good half inch making them impossible to walk in. I can wear a men's 11 in ASICs, KSWISS and MERRELL so why does KEEN need to make these so poorly? I won't even go into the fact that they are an impossibly ugly color.

KSWISS, TAOS, MERRELL

Great concept, but the protection for the big toe rubs against the second toe which is partially in and out of the covering!

I have worn these and have several pairs of other Keen shoes/sandals that I love. I am now sad to say Keen has lost it in terms of the "flip flops". They are ill made, fit poorly and are generally cheap compared to the past. I am really sad as they have been my main footwear until now. Very disappointed!

This new model of Keens has diminished quality. I was an owner of a previous model of these Keens and was super happy. So I ordered these. The straps are made of cheap materials and designed badly, so after two days of moderate wear they tore the skin on the top of my feet. Thank you, Zappos, for exchanging them!

These use to be my favorite sandal as I have already owned and worn out two other pairs! But for some reason Keen can not seem to get it right anymore. Pairs 3, 4 and 5 have been all returned due to the abrasive piece of nylon that fits between your toes and the uneven straps that cause your heel to jut down on the raised edge of the foot bed. Ouch! I currently own four pairs of Keen shoes and boots that I love, so this is certainly an isolated defect. Lets hope they fix the problem with this once great piece of footwear. After all, that toe-guard saved my little piggies many a time down in margaritaville.

The bottom is a two piece construction and will separate within two summer's worth of average to light use. The outcome makes for an unwearable sandal. This has happened with two pair. I expect more from an expensive sandal, and wish they could improve the design.

I can tell the quality is good, but the straps rub and cause serious blisters. I was quite disappointed.

I really wanted to keep these because they are very comfortable. But, if you have long toes, they will catch on the silly big toe guard and give you a blister. Sadly have to return this item.

Somehow this shoe was too small and too big at the same time. This is my 3rd attempt and Keen sandals and will be my last. Really like their boots but stick to Columbia or Teva sandals.

After less than four months of wearing the KEEN Waimea H2, the cloth thong strap between the toe broke. I've owned many pair of Keen's through the years and this failure is truly disappointing. Is this a sign that Keen product quality has severely diminished? I need to find a new sandal brand that can last longer than 4 months.

The toe situation with the webbing & guard was very odd feeling. And the straps were to big.

In Keen’s has so far not obtained their goal to be all things to all people.. but they have lost sight of what a “flip flop” style is and these feel like their first life where bathtub toys . In shoes they seem to have gotten close but only if they carried over the translation to “flip flop” sandals.. thank goodness for free returns..

I bought these for my husband. We gave it to him on fathers day. Three days into giving them to him, the back started to come apart. He had an old pair (5 years old), which held up nice. So, I do not know what went wrong, but it is disappointing.

I have worn these sandals for only 3 months and the footbed has separated from the sole of the sandal. Very disappointed for a sandal at this price.

I have had several pairs of Keen sandals and these are absolute junk. It is as if the piece between toes is half an inch more towards the heel. The toe piece does not even contain my big toe. Same size as before. Basura. Not satisfied.

Had a previous pair that was designed differently. The Keen signature toe cover on this new pair is smaller allowing the toes to slip past it.
To bad the last pair lasted 6-8 years and was like wearing a pair of shoes. Disappointed in the new Keen design.

I own six pairs of Keens, size 10. This Keen Waimea H2, size 10, was at least one size too large. Like the style; too big to wear safely or comfortably.
