I have a couple other pairs of the Keen non-leather flip-flops, which are so comfortable, and decided to buy these, basically because I liked the design on the leather. They are very comfortable, but a different feel than the non-leathers. The leather footpad makes them a little slippery when walking -- not sure if that will change over time -- and the toe covering is larger than on the others, which makes them look a bit more closed in. They're about as cute as a Keen shoe can get -- sort of sporty looking. I'm sure I'll be living in these all summer long.

I love this shoe! Someone posted this new leather style was slipperier than the rubber style, but I found the exact opposite to be true for me (I've owned many Keens). And I found this style even more comfortable than the older style! I love that the underside of the straps which rub the top of the foot is oh so soft! The area covering the toe is larger on this new leather style, which I'm not thrilled about, but not upset over: It's just change.

Love them!

I've wanted a pair since I saw a friend of mine wearing them last year. They were hard to track down, but once I did backcountry.com had them for a great price. I've worn them while taking my dog for hikes on trails, running around after a frisbee, or just sitting around the house doing nothing. I've gotten so many compliments on them as well. I usually wear a 10.5 but bought a size 11 and they fit perfectly.

Neat looking shoe. Took some time to break in the thong part as it was a little stiff in the beginning. I have a wide foot and this shoe still fit me even though it was a medium width. I love that the big toe is covered as it gives more stability then a flip flop. I am a little klutzy and tend to stub my toe with regular flip flops and this shoe solved that problem.

I am a flip flop queen and these are the best I have ever worn - took them out of the box and on a weeklong vacation. This was the only shoe I wore and my feet were in heaven. I want a back up pair now but can't find my size this time of the year... They run a bit small so go up 1/2 size.

Love 'em

I love these shoes. I think they're really cute and super comfy. I haven't had a chance to wear them in the water or on the beach, but I have other keen sandals and they feel the same. Your foot doesn't slip around in the sandal and the sandal doesn't slip on the ground. Definitely worth buying.

These are so comfortable and easy to wear. When I get home from work, the first thing I do is look for these flip flops! This is my 2nd pair and I love them. (my dog destroyed the 1st pair, but I'd had them for a few years) They're the best! You need a pair!!

Very light and comfy. The material between the big toe and second toe took a little getting used to-slightly uncomfortable at first. But, now that they are broken in, I don't even notice it. The leather stretched slightly after some wear. Overall, I love the shoes. Just some small things to consider!

These shoes are one of the best purchases I have made! I have a similar pair of Keens and I don't know how, but these are even better! The straps are also very soft and have a little bit of padding in them. I have already recommended them to countless people!

Bought these for a comfy outdoor work/play shoe. Needed a sandal w/ a “healthy sole”. I've found these to be quite wide, even tho I have wide feet myself. I'm guessing they're made on a men's last...a unisex sandal despite the more feminine pattern. Fact is, despite not wanting to spend this type of $ on something not just right, I kept slipping them back on. I do yard work, run down to the corner, little errands, etc. Being a real barefoot person, I find these too comfy not to have lying by the door. I've found a way to keep them on, even with the width. I hope they work when I hit the river rocks and sandy shores this season.
