The quality of the Keen Aruba II is not even close to the wonderful Arubas I purchased in 2010 (which I still own and are holding up well). I was excited to receive the new Aruba II this week and immediately took them the out of the box and put them on. Whoa...stop everything! These Aruba IIs are like a cheep imposter version of the Keen Aruba purchased years ago. The construction of the sandal is poor. Glue remnants noticeable, gaps were the bottom pieces come together and the foot bed is now some sort of rubber/foam, similar to packing foam for heavy electronics. I should also mention that the construction of the upper caused my foot to sit off to the side of the foot bed and not square down the middle. What a total let down.

My husband and I have purchased MANY pairs of the Keen Arubas in mens and ladies. They are the most comfortable shoes EVER! I miss the old style. They were lighter, bring them back!!!!!

Bought a pair for myself, liked them enough that I bought a pair for my wife. Very comfortable once you find your correct size, but I required a full size below my normal size, and my wife required 1.5 size below her usual.

My husband has been looking for this style for some time. So comfortable and loves the slip on feature for our warm weather climate

Love these. Waited impatiently for them to re-release these as I wore out my first pair over the last 11 years. A great slide-on sandal.

I am normally a tough critic, but these are some comfortable slip on sandals. They fit perectly. Highly impressed.

You'll love this shoe! Doesn't slip off your foot like other slides seem to do. Pretty darn comfortable, will be wearing them all summer long. As far as those other reviews go concerning the bizarre buying two sizes smaller than you really wear. I wear a 9.5m. I ordered a 9.5m and it fits perfectly. So there ya go. Order them. You'll love them. I ordered the midnight blue. They aren't as dark as you think.

I bought a pair of these when my daughter was six. She's now 16! I know this beacuse I wore them on our first trip to Disney World and have pictures to prove it. Though they're falling apart (ten years later) I've been reluctant to throw them away beacuse they've been so great. I'm very excited to see this style return. Ordering a new pair right now.

Great to see Keen added this sandal back into its line up. Had bought a couple of pairs several years ago and was disappointed when they were discontinued. Ideal when you want a sandal with toe protection and arch support in a slip on sandal.

I bought these for my boyfriend. He loves them! Super comfortable according to him. The only weird thing is that we had to go back and forth with exchanges until he got the size right. He already owns a pair of Keen Clearwater CNX in size 10 that fit him perfectly. So we ordered these in the same size. They were HUGE!! We then ordered them a full size smaller in size 9. Still way too big. Through returns and exchanges (thank you Zappos for making this process so easy and accommodating) he ended up with a size 8!!! He's never worn a size 8 in anything. He's always been a 9.5-10 in all his shoes. Go figure, lol!

Wow really digging my new sandals. They fit great and I wear a size 14 medium width. They have a nice fit to them and they don't slip off of your feet the way some Mules will. They have a nice style with a very attractive bas-relief pattern on the top middle portion of the sandal. My wife has a similar pair in the women's version but liked the strap pattern on mine more than hers (she is also in love with her sandals, in spite of liking mine more). Great sandals with a smart looking style that stays on your foot and doesn't have an annoying thong rubbing between your toes (no offense to the flip flop crowd).

I am afraid Keen has me confused with size. This shoe is very nice and comfortable but I can’t find a size! You may have to try multiple orders to get a size that fits so I refuse to order any more! I love the feel of Keens but will only go to a store to try them on because their sizes are so off!

This is a great style but the shoe is very stiff, making it very difficult to walk in them! They look nice, are very wide. I ordered a man's 9.5 and found them to be too wide. Returned them.

I bought two pairs of this sandals mostly because I was expecting them to keep my feet dry in hot weather conditions. But the truth of the fact is that they don't. The insole on this sandals is made of rubber which make my fee sweat on long strolls. Once the feet get sweaty then the foot starts to slip inside the sandals back and forth and side to side which is quite annoying. This happened in both of them. So, be aware of this.

Well if you had a pair of the original Aruba's, you will be extremely bummed out about the new model, in my opinion. The new sole/footbed is terrible compared to the original. It's not anywhere near as comfortable, completely different type of composition. The old model had four vertical air slots, the new model only has three. Overall a very poor effort from KEEN. They have gone to CHINA manufacturing, so there you go....I was so excited to see these come out as my only pair I have had since 2010, they're getting pretty old and worn. I will keep these but, sadly, very disappointed with KEEN as a company. They had such a great product, why they had to go ands screw it up, I just don't know...

Bad sizing. Normally i take a 13, but it was way too big & sloppy. Ordered a 12, fit well, but loose. Tried the 11 1/2, still a bit loose, length still ok, but footbed too narrow. Kept the 12, but sorry I did, as it's way too loose and is going to stretch further. Wouldn't consider these again. Beware!

These sandals fit true to size and have great arch support. I have flat feet so always looking for comfortable shoes with arch support. I loved them so much a bought another pair in a different color. You will not be disappointed.

Cool blue looking shoe and perfect for a guy who can't bend over and put shoes on. A nice slide which also will protect his toes. size was normal. My dads 1st pair of keens and he likes the ease of putting them on and the grip too. thanks
