Customer Reviews KEEN Elsa IV Gore Slip-On

I love these shoes! I have not worn them out and about yet but they fit perfectly! In slide on shoes I wear a half size smaller so they stay on and don’t look like clumpy clown shoes. I am a 9.5 in athletic shoes like Brooks but I tend to order a size 9 in shoes similar to these ones. They are a super cute white shoe that are durable enough to wear in the spring and summer months when I will be doing a lot of walking. I tried wearing low cut converse’s but they are just not as comfortable as these. Get them! You will love them!

I had to return and re-order a half size smaller than I normally wear. These are so comfortable, I love the wide toe box and overall style. I ordered the gray but plan to get the navy too.

I am so disappointed that these cute shoes are not comfortable. They are, unlike Keens, too narrow toe box. I will keep looking for a cute shoe that I can wear with skirts/dresses for a more casual look.

I was thrilled that the fit and size were spot-on! Love the navy color! The red accents give these cute sneaks a pop of color! Lately, I have found the Keen sneakers don't have quite the same arch support as those in the past. No bother! I just slip in an adhesive arch support pad and I'm as right as rain!

Overall the shoes fit well and very cute and stylish. But had to return because the stitching on top was uncomfortable for the top of my foot.

I love keen, since I have wide feet. These are narrower than I expected. They are a little more comfortable without the insoles, which is a shame, because the insoles are thick and squishy. I will need to add arch support. These have none. If keen made a slightly wider version with nice high arches, these would be perfect

These felt a little on the narrow side, especially in the toe box. Which is odd for Keens. The seam where the tongue meets the shoe rubbed the tops of my toes in a painful way. Socks didn't make a difference. They're tricky to put on without the tongue getting pushed to the front. Maybe they should come with a shoehorn?! Insoles are indeed removeable.

I had high hopes for these. I wanted easy, cute shoes for everyday, but I have wide feet and a high instep. I read one review that mentioned that the seams on the top of the shoe rubbed. I should have listened. If a shoe is going to rub the top or top, side of the foot it will definitely do that to me. I put one foot in and felt exactly what they were talking about. I have had enough bad experiences to know not to hope they'll just get better. Returning them.

Difficult to put on. No arch support. Too tight when I tried to wear them with my arch supports inserted. Returned. I've purchased Keens before, and they have always fit well, been comfortable, and had some moderate arch support, but recently, Keens have changed. Sizing not as consistent, and no arch support.

Sooo disappointed. Shoe is super cute, and once I was able to get it on, it fit VERY well and was VERY comfortable. However, the wide elastic was VERY, VERY stiff and was incredibly difficult to get on my foot. Unable to recommend for anyone who has compromised hands and/or fingers (which is my situation).

Love my Keenes! I have high arches so they are a little tight across the arch, but I'm sure they will loosen up.

I purchased the Elsa IV Gore slip-on in the stripe (size 10) and was blown away by the fit and comfort and style of this sneaker. It's the perfect summer shoe for me! I don't want to take them off, which I can rarely say about any shoe. I can wear these all day for walking or light hiking. I have always liked Keen sandals, but never purchased a Keen shoe before, so was very pleasantly surprised. Of course, I purchased another pair of the Elsa IV in navy, which is also very cute with the stripe and red accent. This is definitely my shoe wardrobe for summer into fall. It does help at first to use a shoe horn when putting them on because they fit snuggly. However the snugness feels good and improves the fit because the elastic gore wraps around your foot comfortably. They loosen up just at bit in time and now I no longer use the shoe horn.

Fit perfectly and no need to break in!

I love these shoes! They are exactly what I was looking for. They are very comfortable, easy to slip on and off and have a lovely casual summer vibe. I normally wear either a 9 1/2 or a 10 and these fit perfectly in a size 9 1/2. I bought the grey which is a great neutral color that goes with almost everything.

Really love these shoes. Bought them in black and then immediately purchased another pair in white. They look super cute and are very comfy. They’re wider in the toe than most sneakers, which I really like. Highly recommend.

Love these! They are going to be my go-to shoes for the spring and summer! Style is so fun!! Very comfortable.

I loved everything about these. Fit well, room in toes, comfortable right out of box, did not make your feet look huge! However, after wearing them around the house for a couple hours, they felt very heavy and klunky. I tired several times, but that feeling persisted, so back they go! If they were light weight I would love them.

So cute and comfy!

Love my other traditional Keen shoes with my custom orthotics, will see how these hold up for work!

Very cute, but I need more arch support. Surprised this Keen didn't have it...

Oh, how I wanted these to work! I love Keen. But upon opening the box, I immediately noticed some kind of light red stains (see photo) on top of the one of the shoes. Then, when I tried them on, I realized that one shoe was bigger than the other one, yet they’re both marked (deep inside the shoe) as the same size. I think they may have already been worn. I’m returning instead of exchanging because the shoe is bulkier looking than what I wanted, and they slip on my heel. They’re also a just a bit narrow.

I wanted to love these shoes but... I have a high arch and the shoes were hard to put on - very little space to slip your foot in, while holding on to the tongue. I purchased my true size (7.5). The length was okay, but the width was w i d e. The biggest problem for me was how uncomfortable the inside stitching and seams felt on sickles feet. So I guess I'll have to go back to cheap Roxys for the summer which are cute but have little arch and sole support.

I love keen since I have wide feet. These shoes are narrower than I thought they'd be. I had to take out the insoles to give.my bunions some relief, which is a shame, since the insoles are thick and squishy. I will also need to add arch support, since, even with the insoles there is none. If these were slightly wider with a high arch, they'd be perfect.

I love the look of these shoes, but unfortunately I had to return. The seams and the canvas just hurt my feet. I have pretty sensitive feet though, so this is probably unique to me or perhaps I need to try a 1/2 size larger... I hope it's the latter because I really think these are some of the cutest white slip-on sneaks I've seen.
