The Keen Whisper is a nice little sports sandal, washable and lightweight. I have found the Whisper style to have a footbed that is a bit more narrow than the other styles of Keen sandals. If you have wide feet this style may not be for you.  Also the arch support is not quite as high and the sole is not as heavy and rugged at the other styles. This style however is more feminine than the Newport, Venice and Laguna styles I also wear. I would wear the whisper in town for shopping etc. and the other styles when I need a stronger, thicker sole and more support for outdoor activities. I own 7 pairs of Keens and they are the most comfortable sandals I have tried.
