Keen Elle Backstrap Sandalen

I have bought over 15 pairs of Keen sandals over the years and I have been 95% happy with them...no-thing is perfect. In these sandals however I was not able to walk safely. I only walked with them a quarter of a block...they don't grip the ground and are like walking on little platforms. They are good looking, I will sadly return them.

Bought these for a trip because they seemed versatile enough to dress up or down, and be comfortable/sturdy enough to walk in even on uneven terrain. Can confirm they are great even for short hikes. Was visiting a friend and wasn’t expecting to go for a hike so I only wore these sandals. It wasn’t a super steep trail with scrambles, but it was fairly steep and rocky, rooty, and muddy. These sandals held up great and were comfortable. I wouldn’t regularly choose to hike in them but I’m glad to know they’re sturdy and comfortable enough for varied terrain. They also came clean easily after hiking through mud so I’d still be happy to wear these with a nicer outfit. Think I like them better than my tevas

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. The strap closest to your ankle is way too tight, and I have relatively narrow feet and a normal-size arch. I don’t recommend these unless you can try on first! Bummer I waited too long to return them.

Super comfy - I have bunions and also wanted more arch support than other casual sandals that I have. These accommodate both, and feel like walking on a marshmallow. Love, love, love.

Very comfortable especially on rough walkways or cobblestone streets. Straps are wide enough to give good support for a sandal
