KEEN Women's Astoria West Sandal

Review update: Just a quick update to my previous review as many people have found it helpful. I usually wear my Keen Astoria West shoes when traveling a few times a year so they are still going strong. In April 2024, I put them to the test once again! I hiked up a gravel path to a volcano in the Mediterranean. The path was fairly steep. The Keens were great! Had to empty my shoes a couple of times as dust and grit got in (inevitably - there are holes in the sides of the shoes), but this only took a few seconds as the shoes slip on/off so quickly. I also jumped off a boat into the very cold Aegean sea, wearing these shoes. I tightened them up, as when cold, hands and feet shrink a little. I was swimming in the ocean about 10 metres in depths towards the shore - the shoes stayed on my feet and protected me from rocks as I neared the beach. I was then swimming into thermal volcanic waters, with high sulphur content which turns the water brown along with any white fabrics, I'm happy to report the Keens were not impacted by this - they stayed their original colour. After getting out of the sea I walked around a port (which was flat concrete) and my shoes dried out nicely and maintained their grip. I certainly put these shoes through a bunch of challenges, and I'm delighted to see how well the Keens handled it! Two years later, I still highly recommend. 2022 review: I purchased these shoes for a trip to Asia where I would be doing lots of walking and and ideally needed something more substantial, supportive and 'trainer-like' than my hiking sandals. I also needed something that would also be very breathable in a hot and humid climate. These Keen Astoria West shoes, with their opened sided design, were perfect! Having researched the brand, I found out Keen has a good reputation for adventure shoes, sandals, hiking boots. I choose the Astorias as they are lightweight, and have a nice feminine design with a slight heel elevation, and are waterproof. Also they come in a great range of colours and look pretty stylish for this type of shoe. After my trip, I can confirm these Astorias are great! I ​wore them all day on flat and hilly gravel trails, through forests and on the beach. The hybrid design is like hiking sandals and trainers had a baby! The moment I put them on they were comfortable. The stretchy and soft scuba-like fabric on the inside of the shoe ensures there is nothing to rub. I saw another reviewer said they kind of feel like wearing a combination of a shoe and sock - which I'd say is a good, accurate description! The fit is easily adjustable with the innovative elastic lacing structure - which makes them super fast to slip on and off. This is also great if your feet tend to swell up or shrink down in changing temperatures as you can quickly adjust fit on the move. The overall fit is true to size, however if you are between sizes or not sure, I'd say go up half a size to be safe. The shoes are very lightweight, reducing aching legs and ensuring they don't add to much to luggage weight limits when flying. I confirm they are waterproof having worn them in the sea and through streams. They dried well and I also understand they can go in the washing machine (haven't tried this yet, but I'm confident they will be fine). Finally, the rubber sole and toe cap is great for grip and protecting the toes - which is so needed on rugged trails! However, one point I should add is that if you are looking to do some proper, steep, technical hiking you will still need to invest in some proper hiking boots with ankle support - these Astorias are not a substitute for that (however they will make a useful edition to your adventure shoe collection)! I'd say they are great for long days on your feet, walking in the summer or in hot climates on moderate terrain. I hope you find this review helpful, I certainly love these shoes and will be looking to purchase more Keen footwear in the future.

I am a 4.5 and ordered the size 5. Fit perfectly, no rubbing on my little toes which is something i often get an issue with so if you like a wider toe box these seem to be fine. No rubbing or blisters with these so far. I have a job where i am on my feet all day and often rack over 18k steps a day. These are perfectly comfortable all day, so great for walking. Nice air flow and covers the toes which is what we need for our job. The only way to tighten them is via the draw string however, so not adjustable on the back or sides like you sometimes get with sandals. High quality, i've not had any issues with mine. All the straps are adhered to the sandal cleanly, no rough edges or assembly issues with mine.

I ordered a pair of these several years ago and they were too small. I gave them away. Fast forward, to now, and I decided to try again, using Keen’s guide, based in the British sizes. They are now too big. It’s a pity because they seem well made and would probably be really comfortable if I wasn’t slipping around in them. I use them in the beach and paddle in them, and afterwards they dry and come back well. They look good but I am really frustrated about the sizing.

I ordered these for an upcoming trip to SE Asia where I will be doing some sightseeing, snorkeling and trekking. I wanted something practical that could also be worn in the water to minimise the shoes I was packing. I chose these as I suffer from sore feet and legs through various medical ailments, and appreciate some arch support in my shoes. I didn't have high expectations for closed toe sandals to look great, however, I was delighted when these arrived looking similar to some of my athletic trainers, and feeling just as comfortable. The bungee straps are fully adjustable for wider feet like mine, and the fit is true to the size chart. I normally wear a 3-4UK depending on the brand and ordered a 3.5UK as the chart matched my measurements. My feet fill the entire footbed with approx 1/4 of an inch space in the toe box - perfect fit! I have been watching various keen sandals for price changes and managed to snap these up for £33 - an absolute bargain. I'll also be able to wear them for work on our very limited Scottish hot summer days where I require a closed toe shoe for safety reasons, and for gentle hill walks. I'll be keeping an eye out for more bargains from this brand. I can't comment on the durability but Keen are a well respected brand so I expect they will last. I will definitely be buying more.

I love these Keen walking sandals. I'm used to Keen (Clearwater, Moxie etc). These Astoria ones are especially comfortable and seem almost padded. I seem to 'bounce' along with them. For some reason, this time I struggled finding a size of Keen to fit (I have narrow feet and certain styles fit me better). These are great though as they come in 1/2 sizes too (not easy to find), so I chose 5.5 They fit like a glove. They are a little wider at the toe part but I really like that as they don't feel 'pinched' when walking distance. I have seen other reviews and agree that they seem a little strange when wearing them and looking down at them; the inner heel looks a little strange and seems to stick out a bit (see photo) but I'm not going to be walking and looking down at them! They fit perfectly and I am really happy with them. A little pricey but honestly, you can't put a price on comfort, especially for your feet; they carry you everywhere! Highly recommended.

Good Quailty though Made for wide feet, not recomended for slim feet. Far too wide.

I have ankle problems and these shoes were ideal for my holiday touring Malaysia. They are sturdy, but light and kept my feet cool. I ordered 3 different pairs/makes of sandal before deciding on these as as they were by far the comfiest. The fit was good and they are adjustable too. I liked the closed toe as when walking on rough ground my toes were protected.

Cómodo, ventilado, innovador, ideal para caminatas en el campo y zona urbana, precio competitivo.

Gestern bestellt und heute bekommen! Und das von Deutschland nach Österreich (mit Standardversand - ohne prime)! Die Sandale passt wie erhofft und die Qualität wirkt hervorragend. Beim ersten Tragen auch sehr angenehm! Also alles bestens! Danke! So sollte es immer sein :-)

Bra modell på sandall. Normal i storlek. Snabb och trygg leverans.

Los he usado para día de super, caminar mucho en días calurosos y aunque suda el pie no se resbala; son cómodos, aún un poco duros. Falta probar en sendero y ríos... Ya les contaré Por lo pronto 8 de 10

幅がきついというレビューがあり心配でしたが問題なく重宝しました。夏とても暑かったので買えて良かったです。
