Perfect Purchase I ordered this particular shoe because I have had surgery on both of my feet. I need to wear shoes that are comfortable which this shoe is. However most important is that I need a shoe that keeps my big toe seperated from my other toes to prevent the toes from curving again. This will aid in preventing me from further surgery and recurrence of bunions.This shoe is perfect for my needs. December 16, 2010
Perfect Sandal Love this sandal!! I saw it on someone else and had to have a pair. I like the solid fit of the encased big toe. The between the toe sandal does not suit me or feel good on my foot so this sandal is perfect May 10, 2013
Runs small I have several pairs of Nevis Thongs (also Columbia) which were tight when new so when I saw reviews about Kea being small I figured they would stretch as the others did with wear. So far they haven't so I can't wear for extend periods of time (all day) like I do the others. Am still hoping they will stretch with use. May 2, 2013
So Disappointed I have had a number of the older models of these shoes for years and absolutely love them. I felt it was time to get a new pair and was so glad that they were still being made. BUT - these are not the same shoes !! The fit is completely different. For some reason my feet slip to the inner side of these so that they are crooked on my feet. I am now going to have to try to hunt down some older versions somewhere or start my hunt for comfy sandals all over again. I have foot problems so this is very disappointing as the older versions of these shoes worked very well for me :( May 1, 2013
Comfort, durability, and affordable at it's best. Very comfortable, great fit, and support. Very affordable, with great durability. I loved the first pair so much that I ordered two more in different colors with the same sole. April 24, 2013
Best Sandals Ever! I can't say enough good things about these sandals. I have three pairs, one in every color. They are just so comfortable and I am all about comfort on my feet. They are very durable, they are still great after walking through many unexpected rainy days and puddles, and they are stable enough so I can go on an unexpected hike or long walk around town and not have any issues with durability (of the shoes or my joints!) I am standing for most of the day and I wear these everyday in the spring/summer/fall and don't wish I had anything else on my feet. I was worried last year that they discontinued the style when I couldn't find another pair on any website, but was happy to discover I just had to wait for the season rollover. April 9, 2013
Wonderful sandals if you are on your feet all day... These are the BEST sandals I have ever owned. It took me a long time to purchase because of the price. They are well worth it. Normally, I wear a 7.5 or 8. I purchased the 8 and they are a perfect fit. April 6, 2013
a tad narrow The shoe is comfortable and stylish. Like them quite a bit. April 6, 2013
Functional sporty sandal The flip flops are comfortably snug and their form fitting shape is super. They are sporty looking and are fun to wear with jeans, shorts, and capris. I dress fairly causual, but they have great character stitching to jazz something up compared to other retail store flip flops. I bought a similar pair in 2008 and they are still my 'go to' pair of summer shoes. I can tell these have long lasting quality as well and will be great! April 5, 2013
Normally my favorite shoes, but not this particular pair I love these Kea shoes, normally. I bought my first pair at an outlet mall on vacation about 4 years ago, then ordered two more pair last year in other colors, because they were practically all I ever wore, and I wanted more options with colors. The new pairs worked well also. (I have had problems with plantar faciitis over the years, and these seem to support my feet in a way that keeps that from developing again. Also, I have bunions that hurt in lots of shoes, and this has just the right "cut-out" space for them, yet they don't really stick out and show!But this time when I ordered a new pair, they fit differently. One shoe was extra-tight across the strap over my foot, and I had to return them. I'm pretty sure it was a product flaw, so I called Columbia to ask how to go about returning them. I was surprised to find out that I was still responsible for the return shipping. So, after this "fail," I will definitely be watching for outlet malls while on vacation, so that I can make sure they fit before ordering. Incidentally, they do run about 1/2 size small, so order at least 1/2 size larger than you normally would. March 30, 2013
great for narrow, flat feet I am very flat-footed, and also have a very narrow foot. I have always had trouble finding a shoe that remains comfortable after having it on for an extended period. These shoes are great! I wish I could wear them year-round but, unfortunately, I live in an area that has cold winters. I purchased a pair in black a couple of years ago and like them so much I just ordered two more pair in different colors. I plan to always have a pair of these shoes on hand! March 3, 2013
Women's Kea™ Sandal I ordered a size 9 which is what I wear all the time. These are great sandals however I could not even get this pair to slip on.They run very small.Excellent product, great workmanship, just wished they had worked. I own a pair that are a 9 now and have had for 5 years.Wish they mde these in a 9.5 February 26, 2013
My second time buying these I absolutely love these shoes. I'm a liveaboard boater in the south and wear sandals most of the time. I bought my first pair of these about four years ago and still haven't worn them out. They're incredibly comfortable and I can walk all in them. Planning to order another pair in a different color soon. February 10, 2013
Great sandal for narrow feet! I just purchased my second pair of this sandal and have found that they fit my narrow feet perfectly! I always have difficulty finding sandals that will fit me, and am so happy to have this choice.The Kea must have replaced the Nevis, which was very similar in style and also fit me perfectly - please keep making sandals in this style for those of us with narrow feet! February 2, 2013
Love these sandals These sandals are very flattering on my feet, particularly since I have bunions. But more importantly they are really comfortable. I can walk for miles and miles on a hot day in them without any problem. I now own several pairs in different colors and hope Columbia keep making more. January 30, 2013
This product is very comfortable This order came very quickly. This style is extremely versatile and I wear them for casual and dress. I hope Columbia will continue to make this style. December 21, 2012
couldn't be better! These replaced similar sandals purchased on vacation in the Florida Keys about 6 years ago! I am thrilled to have found a similar sandal--these are even more comfortable. I love the big toe loop--gives me extra security to keep the shoe on during walks. I don't think I'll ever purchase a non-Columbia sandal again! November 26, 2012
The best ever. I have narrow feet and it is very difficult to get shoes, boots and sandels that fit me properly. Last year I discovered Columbia's KEA sandel by sheer luck. I bought one pair and have bought 5 pairs since. I plan on buying more. They are the best fitting sandals I have ever had. November 25, 2012
Comfy sandals! These are wonderfully comfortable sandals. Very nice design. I'll be wearing them a whole lot and plan on ordering in more colors! October 19, 2012
good comfortable sandal I have narrow feet and have a difficult time getting sandals to fit. The stretch mesh of this sandal makes it fit to my foot like a glove. October 17, 2012
What a great sandal!! This is my 2nd pair of this exact sandal, color and all..........Very, very comfortable. I travel a lot and wouldn't leave home without my special Columbia sandals!!I hope you never stop making this particular pair.Thank youA satisfied MN customer!! October 13, 2012
Perfect I love these shoes. These shoes are so comfortable and theykeep my big toe separated as I have bunions. I will bebuying more of these shoes soon. Thank You October 2, 2012
Super Comfy These are really comfortable and made very well. This is my second pair, and I bought a pair for a friend who threatened to "steal" mine.The loop for the Big toe is a tiny bit snug, but they fit well. September 22, 2012
Women's Kea-I just love them!!! I have been looking for a replacement sandal for my past two pair of this same model, from many years ago and have not found anything similar to the quality of these wonderful feeling sandals. They make my feet feel like walking! I have extremely flat feet as well as having had foot surgery and these have such a supportive arch. Thank you for continuing to carry this model. September 8, 2012
KEA This is my fourth pair of Kea shoes. I have them in three different colors, and they are almost impossible to wear out. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Since I have several foot problems, comfort is my priority. Please don't discontinue this line of shoes! September 7, 2012
Good shoe I wanted a shoe that could get wet AND be able to walk around in. This fit comfortable, it can get wet but there is no cushion in heal. So I won't be walking lots in these. I will use them to go to pool and beach but not for walks. September 6, 2012
Would buy again Purchased this product after wearing a friend's. Never have had luck wearing flip flops until now. Feet don't slide around in these. Soooooo comfortable. Normally wear 8.5 - purchased an 8. September 1, 2012
Awesome sandal I bought my first pair several years ago while traveling to Colorado. They are the best fitting sandal I have ever worn. I am a petitie woman and have small feet, size 5, so it was awesome to find this sandal in my size,. Most sizes for women start at a size 6. I recently bought my second pair in a different color and even though the design has changed a bit the fit is still perfect. I love the way it hugs my feet and the comfort on my heels is great. I would highly recommend this sandal. I plan on buying a third pair in yet another color ASAP. August 31, 2012
Great construction and good value. This is my first experience with Columbia shoes and, I must say, they certainly stand up to everything that is said about them. The fit is good, they are attractive, and I very much enjoy wearing them. I especially like the wraparound big toe because I can never wear the regular thong between the big toe and next toe. August 26, 2012
Women's Kea Sandal the best sandal ever! I purchased this sandal model several years ago and wear them daily. I just recently noticed that they were showing some wear and tear and logged onto the Columbia site to see if it was still available! It is and I am so glad! This sandal is comfortable, durable and I hope the company keeps it around for years to come! August 26, 2012
The BEST sandals!! These sandals are the best I have ever worn -- they are super-comfortable, very stable with the big toe captured, and provide good support (I have a high arch). I am constantly getting compliments about them! Best of all, they come in very attractive colors --- I first bought the light beige for summer and liked them so much, I ordered the beautiful blue. August 26, 2012
The most comfortable fit ever in a flip-flop. I love how this flip-flop fits and yet gives support also. It has changed slightly since the black and bone ones I bought last year..but still is the most comfortable sandle. August 18, 2012
Kea shoes meet multiple needs Kea shoes meet many needs in that they have great heel molds, appropriate arch supports and the large toe separater helps all women who inherit bunions from their mothers. August 17, 2012
Most Comfortable Flip Flop Ever!! I have had a pair of these for a few years and I love them!! They are very durable and wear like a dream. Now I have them in several colors and wear them during every season. Great product and would suggest to anyone to purchase them :) August 9, 2012
I love this shoe I bought my first Columbia Kea about 5 years ago. I am still wearing that same pair 5years later. They are that comfortable. I was unable to find this same style in my local store the following year and was disappointed when they said the style was discontinued. I saw a friends picture on facebook and she was wearing a new pair of Keas. I emailed her immediately to ask where she had gotten them. She said her mother ordered them online. I went online and ordered a new pair and I have several colors. My original pair are my around the house, out to the pool, comfy shoe. I wear them at night instead of houseshoes in the winter..they are my keep handy by the door shoe to go out to the car, take out the garbage, drive the kids to school.. whatever shoe....my new ones are for going places. I love the feeling of being able to wear a strapless sandal that gives such good support and not worry about losing my shoes on a sky lift going out over the ocean, or on an amusement ride. I love the comfort and support of a tennis shoe without the bulk and closed shoe feeling. This shoe has great shock absorbency when walking like a good walking shoe and the craftmanship is excellent. Would I buy another pair..yes I would! Would I recommend this shoe? Yes I would!! August 8, 2012
Item not as pictured Hi, I bought a pair of KEA sandals a couple years ago and loved them. I purchased a new pair same size and style but they are not made the same as the original pair. The neoprene stretchy material on the instep only covers about 1 1/2"s between the 2 leather straps instead of about 4"s on the original sandal, leaving less room for stretch. Photo included. Also when I put them on the left sandal sat crooked on my foot. The picture on the web site is also different than what was sent. The bark KEA sandle on the web site is now made with one leather strap on the top of the foot but the sandals I received had two straps leaving less room for stretch over the instep. This made them more uncomfortable for someone like me with a high instep. August 3, 2012
This product is an overall great product I have just purchased my third pair of the womens kea sandles. Just buying different colors. The fit is good, they wear really well and most of all, they stay on your feet good when walking. I would highly recommend this sandle. July 30, 2012
Love this sandal! I ordered and received this Kea Sandal in Size 8 Black. It fits perfectly.. by end of day, however, as my feet swell the band over top of foot becomes a little snug. So, I then ordered these in the brown size 9, which fits looser around top of shoe but is about half size too large.I wish these were made in a half size.Overall, the best sandal I have worn in a decade. July 26, 2012
Kea's Rock!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new Kea's. I just rec'd my second pair. I bought the first pair in April and it was love at first wear. They are the most comfortable sandal I have ever owned. I had bunion surgery in May. Kea was the first shoe that I could get back into when my foot healed. I wear them everywhere even to the gym, and get lots of compliments. The first pair was the dove gray, and my second pair the bark brown. I'm sure that I will be ordering another color before summer ends. Easy to clean by spraying insole with stain remover product and using a soft brizzle brush to clean and put in the sun to dry. I wear 71/2-8 and the 8 is a perfect fit. Columbia please don't discontinue this shoe and more colors (bright) would be great:) July 26, 2012
Women's Kea shoes Can't fully evaulate the shoes until I have worn them a while. I have some from a few summers ago that I have worn constantly. Similar design, but not the same. These seem a little tight, but will probably stretch a bit. Hope they last as well. I bought my daughter a size larger so July 23, 2012
I Love These Shoes This is my second pair of this style. There is no place to buy them in my area that I know of. I have a narrow foot but these fit me. I love them. Please don't stop making them just as they are!!!!! July 17, 2012
Not the same fit I bought two pair of these sandals after bunion surgery and have worn them every day for four years. They have held up beautifully even after putting them in the wash at least 15 times. I ordered two more, but one pair fit and the other pair didn't. It was too narrow. Had to return it. July 10, 2012
Love this sandal I've never been able to wear "flip flops" - could never take the pressure between the toes. But, Keas are wonderful. The way they are constructed takes all the pressure off and the Geyser color matches many items in my closet.Now, if you could just offer something with a heel strap that buckles I'd be in heaven. I find hook & loop doesn't work very long. After a while, they won't stay closed.So Cal Lady July 9, 2012
love love my Columbia Keas the Kea is about the only sandal that I have found that are truely a great fit for my poor feet. I need the metarsal(?) and the arch that are built right in. Durning the Michigan winter my shoes need inserts, or I would not be able to walk for even a halve and hour or so. In fact I bought the new Keas' to take to Disney World for ten days. Those and my other Kea' are the only shoes i will be taking. This is my third pair. I got my first pair about 5 years ago . When I'm done workng out in the yard I just hose them off. I love you Columbia you saved me.One more then satified customer July 7, 2012
Very, Very Good Product A friend had a pair of these sandals...usually I need to try on shoes/sandals but these fit without even trying them on. A good product. July 7, 2012
best all around sandals love it for everything--very comfy! July 6, 2012
Back for More! This is an excellent shoe! I could never wear flip flops - just too uncomfortable and flat. This shoe keeps my toes aligned properly, and my instep is comfortable. I've just ordered my third pair.Note to Columbia: My male friends want to know why they aren't available for men?????!! July 4, 2012
Love these sandals I have looked for toe sandals for months. Had a pair I got from a friend 5 years ago that were comfortable and stylish. Finally realized they were from Columbia. I immediately went online and ordered a pair. Love the sandals and the price. June 28, 2012
A little to small I absolutely love your sandels but they seem to run a little short and narrow. I have another pair from about three years ago and the did fit true to size. June 28, 2012
Great Sandals I wear the sandals everywhere I go. Well made and comfortable. June 27, 2012
