Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I ordered the rose color in my usual size, 8M, and found the fit was ok, just slightly ill fitting in the heel (loose) once I got my foot in all the way. I did not like the way my feet looked in this style (made my feet look bigger). When compared to the Clearwater CNX, the sole of the Whisper felt more cushioned and had a softer sound when walking; however, I like the style, fit and weight (lighter than Whisper) of the Clearwater CNX better.

This is my third pair of whispers; i have a khaki with pink trim and a black with gray trim pair. This time I got the magnet/sangria pair. I wear and bought a 9, didn't need bigger size for sandals (but i do with keen boots). Funny though, this particular pair is not as cushy as my other two. They look exactly the same, and I've been wearing them constantly now for a month or so, an they are hard still. This pair is also a tad longer so i have plenty of toe room. I like them, but now I switch with my old ones a lot still because the older ones are much, much cushier. I could wear them all day for miles and miles at Disney, or just walking anywhere. This new pair not so much but they're pretty.

Well made, but clunky. The Keen Clearwater CNX (which I also ordered) is a less bulky design with same function. I'm returning these.

Although the 5.5 fits my foot well, my pinky toe lands in between the webbing and sticks out. Have to return this style.

Felt comfortable. Seemed well-made. Runs small.

THis year's model has been resized. I live in the 2016 Whisper sandals and bought the same size (9.5) this year. Much to my surprise, this year's model definitely runs small. They are shorter, narrower, and while I always buy a 9.5 in any shoe, for the 2017 Whisper I should have gotten a 10. Wish Keen's had put on warning on the model that they had changed the sizing.

These work fine for my long, narrow feet. The Newport H2 Keens did not. I had great service both in getting the order placed and in exchanging one pair to try a different size.

I've been wearing Keens and this type of sandal with them for years. This is the first time I felt the shoe was too narrow or tight. They are still very comfortable, but just not going to work with my really wide feet.

I really wanted these shoes to work to replace a pair of similar style, different brand. The problem with this shoe was the little hole above the big toe. For whatever reason - even when I changed sizes (tried 7.5 to 8.5) - my big toe nail would get caught on the edge of the hole. That doesn't make for a pleasant shoe.

I've had other Keens like this. This one is too short for me - I ordered a 6 and I wear a 6 in regular shoes - shoes pushed my heels to the far back of the sole. May re-try in a 6.5 if I decide I want this again for biking.

Great service. Quick shipping. Great product.

I bought these for a trip to Mexico to walk around in town. Comfy and easy to put on and take off when you adjust the straps properly. One of the shoes did rub against my achilles tendon on the first day that I wore them, but afterwards it was fine.

I really like the style and overall fit of these shoes. The problem for me was the arch, or lack there of. My feet seem to need to rest on an arch, and kept searching for one, where none existed in these sandals. We all have different feet and needs in shoes. These just didn't work for me. Too bad because they are so cute, and protect toes.

I read the reviews that said these shoes ran a 1/2 size small, so I ordered a 10.5 as I usually wear a 10. They were huge. So I ordered a 10 and they are still a bit big but they'll be fine. Love the color and style.

Great Materials and style with comfort and breathability!

These are a bit looser (even when adjusted) than my other Keen sandals. They still provide good toe protection and comfort.

This is my second pair of Keen's Whisper style sandal. I love the beet red color and have had many compliments. My first pair is a size 8 and fits perfectly. However, size 8 in this pair is a bit large but wearable, I tried a 7 1/2 and that was too tight/small.

Toe bed much too wide. Heel hangs off the back. Admittedly, I have a very narrow foot, but I thought with the adjustments, I could make it work. Also, the black rubber toe protector is not centered-it's off to the side?

I normally wear an 8, but these seemed too long, so I ordered a 7.5 to compare. The 7.5 fit, but the shoe is designed so that the holes near the big toe are at the perfectly wrong spot. My toenails kept snagging on the opening as I walked around my living room. I am pretty sure that if I spent a day scrambling up the river in the 7.5's, I would have not big toenails left. Otherwise, these are softer and more comfortable than the other Keens I ordered. I think I will keep the slightly too long 8's and return the 7.5's. Keen designers, if you are listening, seriously consider not putting holes right where people's toes will poke through the top. Since the rubber toe part is smaller, these shoes do look slightly less like clown shoes than most Keen's, so that's a plus.

Bought these for an upcoming trip but wanted them early so I could try them out. I immediately walked in them without socks-they felt very good. No rubbing, no discomfort. I did follow the reviews of many others who said get them 1/2 size larger and I did so they fit fine. I can put on thin socks or go without. I think they will be very good for various types of travel. They don't have much arch support and I wonder what will happen as they age, do they stretch and will the lacing be able to tighten them up. Have to wait and see.

This is a nice-looking and comfortable shoe at try-on and I would have loved them were they not too narrow - my feet are wide.

I think the shoes run a bit big, but other than that I really like them.

The color is much less red, and more magenta than it appears on the browser

My second pair! My first pair I wore for 5 years. GREAT shoes! I gave 4 stars just because they are not the best looking shoe.

Very cute, but they just don't fit. When you snug up the elastic to tighten the shoes' instep, it also makes them shorter. I was hoping they would run a bit long and narrow, but they don't. And there's no size 12.
