AMAZING! I have a severe knee injury and would wear these again without question. These shoes are sturdy. Well made. Lots of cushion. I literally went from dry hot dirt trail, up and down steep hills, to the beach, into the ocean, back to the rocky dirt trail. I went up and down gravel roads. I went into the thicket of some bushes (not recomended. The thorns will get you where the shoes are open) I had zero issues with these shoes. They hold up well. They maintain comfort for a 13 hour hike. I was on my feet in these for about 14.7 miles and never once regretted it. I personally have weird pinky toes, so I did get a small hotspot on the outside of both my pinky toes against the waterproofing material but it’s not a deal breaker.The ONLY con, since these are open ... MoreAMAZING!

I’ve been having issues finding any shoe that supports my high arches with plantar fasciitis. I read lots of reviews on and off the Keen website and decided to give the Astoria West sandal a try. I wanted a sandal so it was very important for the footbed to be supportive without inserts. Also, the thicker heel gives cushion support and acts like a wedge to help with the arch support. I’ve been wearing them for a little over a week now in anticipation of my vacation, thinking I would need to break them in. Nope! They’re great for my feet. I wear an 11/11.5 and I went up to a 12 to give my toes extra room. They fit great! The adjustable bungee strap helps to keep them stable on my feet. The soft material that lines the straps and heel make it where there's no rub and ... MoreI’ve been having issues finding any shoe that supports my high arches with plantar fasciitis.

Thank you! I’ll definitely be buying more Keen shoes.

These are fantastic sport sandals for all sorts of activities. A couple of things stand out: they fit very securely so you can adventure confidently, and they are highly cushioned and so you have to get used to being a couple inches taller when wearing them!These water sandals are in fact open footwear, but I got them in late winter and there was still about a foot of snow on the ground. I ended up wearing them several times for show shoveling and walking around on the snow, and miraculously, my feet never got cold, even being outside in mid-30s weather with a medium hiking sock for a couple of hours. So I guess these are snow sandals as well! The hiking tread on the soles had great traction on the snow and ice. Even when I was slipping and sliding a bit, the ... MoreThese are fantastic sport sandals for all sorts of activities.

So I guess these are snow sandals as well! The hiking tread on the soles had great traction on the snow and ice. Even when I was slipping and sliding a bit, the sandals fit very securely and did not shift on my foot.In terms of fit, I wear a size 11 and these are true to size. With many types of hiking shoes and boots I need a wide width. These are a medium width, but fit me perfectly, and the great thing about the way the sides are designed is that a bunion I have developed on my right foot was right between two straps, so the sandals were perfect.In terms of comfort, these have remarkable cushioning. They are rather high, and since I usually wear 'barefoot' style shoes with little to no drop from the heel to the toes, when I first put these on I felt like I was standing on 2" lifts. But once they were both on I felt balanced and secure and they just hugged my foot like a glove.In terms of properly fitting these to the foot, the lacing system consists of a stretchy cord and a plastic slider. You can customize the lacing tightness to your heart's content up and down your foot to get the most secure fit. I like this neat and self-contained system and was able to use it effectively to make the sandals hug my feet. If there was one thing that I might suggest, it would be to add adjustability to the heel strap; it fit well but there were a couple of times I might have liked to tighten it a bit, depending on the sock (or lack thereof). Using the laces I was able to make up for this and fit the sandals securely.In terms of look, they are sporty and great looking. I have the gray with coral pink laces and they go with everything. I really really like these sandals and look forward to many fun adventures on the trail and even in the snow.

I adore these shoes! I have worn Keens almost exclusively for over 10 years. While they have clearly changed some of their materials and the sizing it a tad smaller they are still some of the best sandals on the market. They only thing they could do better is being back the Venice H2! The white part does stain quite easily on all the recent Keens I have bought. The straps wash off quite well. These are a solid 10/10 for comfort and daily wear.
I had an older version of this shoe. They lasted me fifteen years. I finally had to leave them in another country just so I can finally buy new ones. They were still going strong just thought it was time for new ones. So I bought these. They are slimmer than the old style. But I love them. I have a small foot. They are so comfortable and fit perfectly. Hopefully they give me as many miles as we travel a lot and hike and hang by the ocean. I can use these for both activities so I won’t have to take as many pairs of shoes. Definitely a plus for me when packing. I have six daughters and they have each bought a version of this shoe if not more. I also have people stop me and ask what kind they are. Too bad I don’t get a finders fee… keep doing what your doing!!
I give one star only because of the cushioned comfort of the sole.I'm not an avid hiker so I rely on descriptions and reviews, however, I do and have hiked on all types of terrain. This was my first purchase of this type of water/land sandal. I purchased these so I didn't have to pack my hiking boots and water shoes and for the sole purpose of a hike up a summit in Belize as well as exploring the ATM cave where you’re wading through a rocky river and climbing up rocks inside there. I needed/wanted a multi purpose shoe/sandal that would provide cushioning comfort, support and provide traction both on land and in the water. This sandal claimed to do all that!

I'm a true size 7 with med width and my heel seemed to keep landing on the back edge of the sole and for the price I didn't want to risk it becoming a problem and there was not a larger size to try, so I returned them.Please note the description:Astoria West Water Friendly SandalKEENPrice$115.00–$120.00FREE SHIPPINGGet a $40 Bonus Note when you use a new Nordstrom credit card.Comfort combines with versatile utility in this adventure-ready sandal that features a grippy non-marking lug sole for enhanced traction in and out of water.I then went on with my search, but as luck/algorithms would have it or so I thought, an online outdoor apparel site popped up with the same exact shoe on sale for almost half off and at a half size larger, Score! They arrived, they fit and were very comfortable even though I did have to get used to the footbed feeling a little rough and I have tough feet.I was happy I found mal purpose shoe.My experience with the women’s Keen Astoria closed toe sandal.I have never been so upset nor have I written a complaint like this in my life! Who tested these and by what method?! I needed a quick drying closed toe sandal with cushion and searched and tried many comfortable ones, but was swayed by the number of reviews, descriptions and the known durability and affective-ness of this brand of shoe and these shoes in particular with the assurance of their slip resistance traction for land and water over many sites. The shoe cushion is very comfortable to walk around a town maybe dry dirt in and a stream, but that’s it!I wore these wading through the river they were fine, climbing over and on wet rocks not great. Then I hiked uphill on a winding mountain path just under 3 miles where parts of it were muddy, rocks here and there.. (not like I was hiking the Inca trail in the rain on a journey… only to fear for my life with every step I took. These shoes literally ruined my hiking experience as well as the person's I was with because we had to watch where each of my footsteps were placed…planted, so as not to slip and fall, but that proved futile! I slipped and fell very hard, it was unavoidable and in another attempt scraped my arm because I had to catch and hold on to a tree, to keep from falling down a steep jungle ravine!!!These ARE NOT slip resistant! These shoes have absolutely no traction what so ever!The mud/dirt fills in the crevices on the bottom and they literally become skis. Seriously, at one point, I put my feet together and let myself slide like I was on skis just to get through a small section that’s just how much “lack” of traction there was not to mention how dangerous these shoes are. We’re not talking sink holes, deep mud, glistening smooth path, we’re talking mud, rained on dirt, some mossy rocks and small to medium sized river rocks here and there. Ridiculous!!! I twisted and bruised the muscle below my rib cage reaching for something to catch me. I bruised my hip and knee with the hard fall!! This created a huge interference with the rest of my trip because of the pain from wrenching my muscles trying to plant my feet to keep from sliding and from the eventual fall!!! I attempted to scrape off the bottoms, but I couldn’t keep one foot from slipping, so I could scrape out the crevices from the other one. also, it required digging the packed dirt and mud out with a stick which when on a downward path and not much to hold onto is nearly impossible to do. I was with my daughter and she couldn't believe what we...I were dealing with. We would have been laughing at this insanity, if it hadn't been so dangerous for us. It sounds unbelievable I'm , but believe me, it's humiliating to me just writing this, but I would never want anyone else to experience what I experienced.
So, during the big end of the year sale, I purchased the Women's Astoria West x Outdoor Afro, in a size 9. Then I get an email saying " Woops," not in stock. While they're still on sale, I keep checking the website for two weeks and the site still says, one size 9 still in stock.After they were on sale, they went up to 84.00 or some price close to that and now there are two size 9's in stock. Do you think Keen would honor the sale price since I did try purchasing them during the sale...HECK NO THEY WOULD NOT! Now they're on sale for 58.99 plus I have to pay 10.00 dollars for shipping and tax, so now I'm paying 28.00 more for the same sandals I tried purchasing during the end of the year sale. So thank you Keen for valuing your customers and your great customer ... MoreSo, during the big end of the year sale, I purchased the Women's Astoria West x Outdoor Afro, in a size 9.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.I've been buying your sandals for years and I have NEVER been so disappointed in your customer service until this incident.
For water shoes I have always loved the Newport - I bought my first pair in the early 2000s and have been a loyal KEEN customer ever since. And as a Black outdoorswoman I was STOKED when I saw these shoes, partnering with OutdoorAfro.Unfortunately, they are not like the Newport water shoe. I tried for weeks and weeks to get comfy in these shoes and to no avail.My criticisms are twofold.1. The elevated heel wrecks havoc on my bad knees. A high heel is a terrible idea if you have knee / joint issues, which I do. I silenced my doubts about buying these because I figured since it was KEEN and it's a hiker-sandal-watershoe that the raised heel would be ergonomical. A helpful addition somehow. Sady, it just causes me intense pain on even the shortest of hikes.

I silenced my doubts about buying these because I figured since it was KEEN and it's a hiker-sandal-watershoe that the raised heel would be ergonomical. A helpful addition somehow. Sady, it just causes me intense pain on even the shortest of hikes. Much like higher heels on boots and dress shoes do.2. The webbing is not that flexible and pinches or cuts in at weird places along the side and top of my feet. It's constricting, with little give or flex. The design of the openings seem to place fashion over function. The cutouts all over the top and sides of the shoe look really cool, but are not comfortable for any kind of serious hiking. I found it to be painful, distracting, and allowied for lots of little rocks to get in with no way to easily get the rocks out. With Newports I just shake my foot or sweep a finger inside to scoop out whatever got in. The numerous holes on these sandals are too small for that so I have to stop and actually take off the whole shoe to shake out debris. Multiple times on every hike. As a lover of Newports and Chacos I know rocks getting in just happens. But if getting the rocks out is such a hassle, it makes outdoor adventure shoes a pain.If you don't have knee / joint problems and can wear an elevated heel in other shoes (dress shoes, boots, etc.) I'm sure you'll be fine. But - if like me - you're a diehard KEEN fan because, in the beginning, every shoe had a big wide toe box with what felt like golden orthodics inside - I'd skip these. Factor in the oddly placed cutouts that bite into the top and sides of my feet and allow lots of rocks in, and my feet are killing me after every hike.The sandals are stunning and the mission of OutdoorAfro is so powerful, so I'm SUPER sad these didn't work for me. I would love be able to wear something this cute all the time! These sandals look amazing with skirts and dresses, I get compliments the few times I've worn them. AND the purchase supports OutdoorAfro! But comfort trumps fashion every time for me. I guess I'll gift them to someone in my life who has zero knee problems and doesn't really hike much or go out on the water.
I've owned Keens before and loved them. The Rose is my go-to travel sandle, and I was hoping to replace it with this style, and it seemed OK at first try. However, after a couple minutes or a half hour, I get a sharp pain in my left little toe from the strap. I even placed a bit of patch tape over the rough stitching and it still hurts, so these have to go back. It's not my toe (I just did a four-week mostly hiking trip in the Alps in La Sportivas and never have any trouble with sneakers or other sandles or shoes).
