Keen sandals

honey, no way are your feet as big as mine! These are size 9's, they are a slip on shoe, not a bike shoe.

I'm a size 10.

I don't tip over easily in a breeze.

How are the women's Keen commuter sandals sized. Do they run true to size? I see TE does not carry them in 1/2 sizes but REI does. The size charts on REI and TE seem to differ from one another. I'm usually a 9.5. The only Keens I've owned are flip flops from STP and I really like them. The sandals are on my birthday list.

I'm wearing my Keen H2 sandals right now. I like them better in the winter with wool socks, than in the summer. I get hot under the ball of my foot in these. So I only wear them in summer at the river or when I don't care if my feet stink!

That's kind of hard to answer - your best bet would be to try them on.

I take a 41 in Dansko clogs & sandals, and 41 in Eccos. I got the Keens in US size 10 which according to their sizing is the equivalent to Euro 40.5. So my guess is the Keens run reasonably true to size. In women's Sidis (which run notoriously small) I take a 42.5.

If that helps any ...

I want my REI dividend now too! Guess they take a little longer to make it to the East coast

I'm still intrigued by these - I'll probably try them, provided they carry them locally and I can see if the fit is good Of course, I'll have to be really careful to keep them out of cat range - mine love to eat elastic

I got an email telling me about my dividend.

I definitely plan on trying them on before buying. I can't abide anything rubbing my foot and sometime sandal straps will.

I'm so sensitive, ya know.

Picked up a pair of these today at REI(Alderwood). It was too hard to resist with the 20% coupon and my dividend since that brought them down to half of the retail price. Wahoo! They're amazing comfortable - even for my wide feet. I did have to take out the Exacto knife to trim off a tiny, tiny bit around the bottom to make my cleats(Frogs) fit.

So did anyone ever say definitively how well the the Keen Commuter cycling sandals did when actually used for cycling?

I love the two pairs of Keens I have, but they're the H2 model--not cycling-specific. I have the Shimano cycling sandals (newer style), and they fit me all right, but the straps are a bit stiff and not as comfy as I could wish. (And my REI dividend is burning a hole in my pocket, too.)

I guess I'm most concerned to hear whether the sole is stiff enough on the Keen Commuters for, say, a 30-40-mile ride.

Hey Sgtiger,
I'm interested to hear how you like these; so, I'll look forward to seeing you again (+ family) and hearing your review 'live' at the TE gathering next week, ok?
