I purchased these sandals because I have two pairs of Merrells in a similar style, but in leather, and wanted a sandal that could get wet (for water parks, beaches, pool, etc.).  I purchased the black, so they would go with most of my outfits.  Another reviewer said that she didn't like how the black Keen label and clip stood out on the orange, which I kind of agree with, but I don't have that issue with the black. You hardly notice the label.  I did go to a store to see them prior to ordering them, but the store did not have my size.  Just to be clear, I really don't think these were intended for strenuous activities like hiking or running, as other Keen sandals such as the Newport or Venice are.

These sandals are definitely more feminine than other Keens, which I really liked. My Newports are pretty clunky looking when wearing them with a swimsuit or coverup. These fit me perfectly - I am a size 9, which is what I ordered, and they are fine.  However, if you tend toward the large end of a size, you might want to try ordering up. At any rate, I think the fit of these depends on the shape of your foot.  My feet are neither narrow nor wide, but I do have a very high instep, and sometimes straps across the instep are uncomfortable. These straps feel great.  As other reviewers have mentioned, the plastic clip is very tight, but I don't think I'd want it to be loose and come undone.  The straps do loosen a little after a while, but not so much that the shoes are going to fall off or anything.  If it becomes troublesome, I'm just going to put a couple of stitches in the strap below the buckle so it doesn't loosen. The sole is definitely thinner than other Keens, but that it what I liked about them.

Once again, don't order these if you are expecting heavy, sneaker-like soles and secure fit like more rugged Keens.  These are more like sandals you can wear on vacation for light activities.
