Customer Reviews KEEN Elle Backstrap

There are many attractive features to this sandal and I would have kept it but for one reason: they are too hot. The fabric-like "uppers," including the footbed, are made of recycled plastic bottles. Normally, I would support using recycled materials, but I found that my feet were getting very warm after a short wearing in the house; and I usually have cold feet! I'm sending them back.

This is a great summer sandal. I've worn with shorts, summer dresses, capris & looks good with all. So comfortable. I worn them the first time on a shopping trip (something I don't normally do) & no problems. I have a high instep & was worried about not being able to adjust straps. They are not too tight for me. The only drawback for me (and it's not a biggie) is that they "slap" like flip flops when walking. Great buy.

Beautiful color (brick) and nice looking design but these sandals were too wide even for my D width feet.

Great sandal. Strap around the ankle has some stretch so it's easy to put on. The strap isn't too stretchy, so it is snug (not sloppy) when walking. Footbed doesn't have a ridge around the edge so no irritation to the side of my foot. Like so much, I ordered another color. Will be my go-to this summer.

Perfect. I wear Keens all the time. I have flat feet there a wide toe box is needed. These shoes were cute and comfortable. I can wear all day with comfort.

Just delivered today! I put them on immediately and they are perfectly comfortable right out of the box! Cute, comfy and sporty. I have a feeling these will be my go-to sandals starting today through the summer.

I wanted to love these, because they look really cute on other people, but apparently I have fat feet. The elastic bands squish my foot meat in unattractive ways. Additionally, one of the shoes had little nibs all over the footbed —a tiny but maddening manufacturing defect—which made it feel like I was walking on grit. Returned.

The footbed feels like you are wearing really good running shoes. I like that they are made of recycled water bottles. I am a fan of the brand Rothy’s but their new sandal was a disappointment because it has no back strap therefore I cannot wear them to work. When I found these shoes I was thrilled because they are even better and I can wear them anywhere.

These are so comfortable and cute! i love the multicolors and cushy feel.

These shoes are VERY comfortable and cute. Goes well with jeans and skirts. I wear an 8.5 or 9, (depending on shoe brands) and these 8.5 Keen Elle sandals were a perfect fit. I’d rate it a perfect 5 stars but had to take one star away overall because they make a slapping flip-flop sound when I walk. None of my other slingback sandals make this kind of noise. I wore the shoes outside to run an errand and that’s when I discovered the noise, so unfortunately I don’t think I can return them. (Zappos, please let me know otherwise if I’m able still). I’m wondering now if I had purchased a size larger 9, the noise wouldn’t be present. If flip-flopping slapping noise bothers you, this might not be the sandal for you. If it doesn’t bother you, then go for it. They’re super comfy and go with different outfits.

Dorky looking. No appeal, not very comfortable, not very good looking, not very cost effective. Meh. Had to return. :-(

Wish they came in wide width, these sandals are one of the most comfortable I have ever tried however I have very wide flat feet, the sides of my feet were hanging off the side. If you have a more narrow or normal sized width these should work perfectly. Sadly I had to return.

I loved the look of these sandals and they are super comfortable. I go between a 9 and a 9.5 in Keens and I needed the 9.5 in this shoe. I ended up returning them though because they are so loud. Think “flip flop x 10.” I never thought I needed quiet shoes but when a colleague wore this exact style to work and we started laughing over how ridiculously loud they were I decided to send mine back before wearing. There are other Keen sandals I like that won’t make me self conscious when I walk around!

I wear a size 11 and have a pretty normal foot but like a shoe with good arch support and a supportive foot bed. This shoe is really cute and comfortable. The elastic strap over my instep was just too tight so I had to send it back.

These sandals are super cute and comfortable! I LOVE the colors of the straps! They are easy to slip on and off but are also snug enough to stay securely on my foot when walking. I love Keens because I can count on them to treat my feet -- and ultimately my back -- right!

I never want to take them off. Love the colors. I wear them with so much.

Comfortable! Durable! My only feedback is that I wish the side of the sole was black instead of white.

I have narrow feet with a high arch and high instep. Comfortable and good-looking shoes are HARD to find for me. The elastic straps fit my feet perfectly and they are comfortable shoes. I'm glad I ordered them.

Very comfortable footbed. The straps are solid enough, but give enough when my foot swells. Love this sandal!

So excited about these sandals! They feel great and look great. These will definitely be my go to this summer!

Usually wear a 7 1/2 or 38, keen suggested 8 1/2 and that fits. The straps don’t adjust and the one across my toes was tight at first, but has loosened to comfortable. The base is supportive and bouncy in a good way. Mine are blue and there is blue dye on my feet when I remove the sandals.

I was excited about the style and color of these. I was disappointed when they arrived. The colors are off and on my feet they are lose and look very mature.

I returned these because they were too narrow. I wear a wide most of the time but sometimes I can wear a medium width in a sandal. They are stylish and looked great on my feet. One strap felt looser than the other.

Poor quality material! I only wore these sandals around my house for a few hours to test them out. While they were comfortable, they were a bit annoying because the heel slaps like a flip flop. I ended up returning them because when I took them off, there were toe imprints and crinkling on the white platform after only a few hours of wear. I can't imagine these sandals would last more than 1 season with light use.

The shoes made my feet incredibly sweaty after a full day of wearing them. The back strap rubbed on my heal to the point it was sore and would have given me a blister had I worn them longer. A shame because of the price but I will not be wearing them any longer and would not recommend them.
