First off, I have to say that I absolutely love the style of Keen shoes. They have this chunky, outdoorsy, yet modern charm to them, which I adore. Unfortunately, I have had a consistent problem with defective merchandise. The two Keen shoes I ordered, the Sienna Mary Jane, and the Keen Waimea H2, both had defects so I had to return them. The Waimea H2's strap was unraveling and the Sienna Mary Janes had stitches coming apart. The replacement Waimea H2 sandals were fine and now I am waiting on the replacement Sienna Mary Janes. I hope those arrive in perfect working order. I do not know if it is some coincidence or fluke that the first two Keen shoes I have ever ordered were made badly, or if this is a sign of generally bad workmanship. I hope it is just a fluke because these shoes are so cute and comfy. That said, I give Zappos five stars for having amazing customer service!

Ok, first let me say, I love Keen. I have walked hundreds of miles in mine (6 pairs 3 different styles) over the course of 2 years, comfort is awesome and the toe protectors have saved my big toes from being ripped off and crushed on several occasions, but the Waimea H2 straps is a bit snug across the top of my foot. I might not notice the difference if I didn’t own several pairs of Keen flip flops to compare them to. I have not worn these for fear of a dreaded blister. I don’t remember the other styles being so snug or there being any break-in period. Sole is thicker, which is a good thing. The shoes are cute. I have given 4 stars for comfort, only because I can’t put them on and wear without slight discomfort. I just need to go for it because I am know it will be worth it. Keen and Zappos rock.

I love these new multi-color Keens, they’re great for summer, you can wear them with all different kinds of outfits. I own 5 pairs of Keens, I love them all. My husband is sold on the them, he has 3 pair. They are a great sandal, comfortable, good arch support, and the toe guard is a "toe saver". I get lots of compliments on them. When people ask where I get them, I always tell zappos.com, their service is great, and you get free shipping… and the majority of the time they come overnite, that’s hard to beat.

I wore these flips out after 3 long summers. These are the greatest flip/flop sandals, ever. The toe guard comes in very handy when you smack your front foot against a rock, brick, or any other stubbing object. Then, you are very grateful for the protection these sandals provide. I wore the soles out (under the balls of my feet) and am about to order another pair. Also, I hiked in them (yes, "hiked") regularly in river rock, trails, sand and even fared well in the desert with them often. Can't say enough about them!

Happy to see the lighter colored sole on these. Someone noted a lesser quality in the newer Keen styles. They seem somehow different from the older version, yet side by side I could not note any difference. They are still soft and comfy, and when I put on the old pair on one foot and the new on the other foot, I could not tell which was which. It may be about 5mm short than the older version ~ not enough to make a difference.

These are the best flip flops I have ever had! I ordered a second pair b/c I love my first pair so much. I do everything in them. I can walk the dog, play soccer with my nieces and nephews, etc. I even use them on the rowing machine I have at home. They dry quickly and are great when on the boat. Order two pairs- it's worth it!

OK- these are the new and improved 'updated' version of this flip flop. A lower profile- and a little less toe- this shoe has a great sole, good arch and nice toe protection from gravel, grass, Cheerios and dog slobber. I wear them everywhere! The only thing is they give you funny tan lines. But one white toe does not a bad shoe make. I love them!!

Recently ordered these shoes because I already have 4 pair of the Keen Bali. They are thong-like between toes (unlike Bali) but the fit is still nice and comfy. I bought the checkered pattern and it is just enough color without being overwhelming. Works well with shorts, summer shirt, or jeans. As always, you cannot beat the service Zappos provides! The shoes actually arrived in one day.

These are the best sandals I've found yet for comfort and style. Have had many compliment on them. I'm a runner and my feet take a beating and were sore so I was looking for a sandal with lots of support not just a flat flip flop. I bought these and have been so impressed, no more foot pain. Will buy several more in various colors.

First pair of Keens I ordered and I LOVE them. Just had ankle surgery and needed to wear flat shoes for a while. They are so comfortable I can wear them all day! Also get a lot of compliments each time I wear them which was a surprise. I bought the rice bag color and am pleased that I can wear them with anything!

I had a pair of Keen "flip flops" last summer...I ordered these in the hopes that although the old ones were still wearable, they would replace them as a new thong-type shoe to wear this summer. They were stiff and uncomfortable. First pair of Keens ever that didn't feel good on my feet.

This style H2 doesn't work for me. Have several Waimea and Trinidad-wear daily. Walked cities in Australia and USA and hauling thru airports. HOWEVER this style-Waimea H2-wore a pair four hours. My heels slip sideways then whole foot slides in sandal. I cannot risk it.

Why is it none of the website show the top of this shoe? What does it look like? Would we not like it if we saw it first?
