I purchased a pair of Columbia sandals a couple of years ago and was very pleased with them. I found what I thought were the same sandals on line and ordered them in three neutral colors. I received the sandals a few days later, I was disappointed when I tried to put them on, even though they were the same size as my previous pair they were obviously too narrow and when I returned them to the outlet store I tried on the next size up still too narrow. I am an average size woman and I CANNOT recommend buying this pair of sandals. It's too bad, the quality was still good, someone made the wrong decision to eliminate many women from being able to enjoy this particular product.

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

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.

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 :(

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.

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.

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.

The shoe is comfortable and stylish. Like them quite a bit.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

These are wonderfully comfortable sandals. Very nice design. I'll be wearing them a whole lot and plan on ordering in more colors!

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.

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 you A satisfied MN customer!!

I love these shoes. These shoes are so comfortable and they keep my big toe separated as I have bunions. I will be buying more of these shoes soon. Thank You

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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:)

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

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!!!!!

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.

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

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

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.

love it for everything--very comfy!

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?????!!

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.

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.

I wear the sandals everywhere I go. Well made and comfortable.

Comfortable and good looking sandal; my foot requirement calls for necessary stretch structure over bunion area....hard to find...I have 3 pairs.

Been wearing the same pair of sandles since 2009. They still feel great and other tthan a little wear and tear look good also. And in the summer I wear them everyday.

I typically do not like flip-flops. I do not like the piece in between the toes, & flip-flops never have any support. But these are very comfortable, & have plenty of support. They are actually very narrow, but so are my feet, so they are a perfect fit. I may buy another pair.

A cousin visited me and had a pair and after talking with her and looking at her shoes, I immediately ordered a pair. Love the flexibility of them and the way they are constructed to stay better on your feet. Not at all like flip flops!! I would recommend them to others. Need to pay attention to the sizing. I normally wear an 11 but on advice of cousin ordered a size 9.5.

I RETURNED THE SHOES I ORDERED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO WIDE FOR MY FEET. UNFORTUNATELY. I THOUGHT I HAD THE RETURN FORM IN THE BOX WITH THE SHOES BUT I MUST HAVE TAKEN IT OUT TO GET THE RETURN LABEL BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE FOUND IT ON MY DRESSER. I WAS SO DISAPPPOINTED WITH THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T FIT BECAUSE THEY WERE SO WELL CONSTRUCTED.

This is my 4th pair. I looked at new styles a few weeks ago, but came back to these. They are supportive and extremely comfortable. I have worn them on a 6 mile walk without a problem. I heard that these may be discontinued-that would be a shame. I would love them in yellow or red or orange.

The shoes fit perfectly right out of the box. The first day I wore them for at least half the day. I felt like I had had these shoes for at least a month or two. I'm sure I could have worn them at Disney World all day long and still been comfortable. I highly recommend these sandals.

I bought my first pair of these six years ago while in vacation, and am still wearing them! Like others, I get the insoles wet, add soap, and scrub them with an old toothbrush quite often, and they have held up well. I decided it was time to see if they were still being made, and to get some in other colors. So, I ordered two more pair! The design has slightly changed, but they are still wonderful. I struggle with bunions and occasional plantar fasciitis, and these shoes are great for helping with those issues. My only complaint, be it ever so slight, is that they do run a bit small. I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 Wide, and these are an 8 M. I think, in time, the leather will stretch a bit, but I've noticed that the "big toe" part of the shoe is fairly tight. Other than that, these shoes are perfect. Thanks, Columbia, for continuing to make this great and comfortable design!

the shoes are the most confortable i have ever worn!!! i wish there were more colores!! i got the black and brown. need other colors!!!

I have a narrow foot and the sandal fits perfectly.

I bought an older version of these a few years ago and have worn them all the time. I was hoping that they still made them and they do! The new version is a bit more stylish and the same wonderful comfort! I bought two colors and I highly recommend them.

Went to Key West on vacation in May. Found the shoes in a shop but they didn't have my size in the color I wanted. They searched and suggested I order them when I got home. I did and they came just in time for my birthday. Service from the beginning of the order to the delivery of the shoes was excellent.

upon my purchase of this item, a co- worker too, was impressed with this product so her friend purchased this same pair for that co-workers birthday.! Great fitting, comfortable. Columbia footwear products are the best to fit size, never have to question whether need 1/2 size smaller or larger, always a great fit.

Thank goodness I went to your web catalog and found you are still making this sandal! Over the last 4 years I have purchased pairs in black, tan/white and blue. Versatile, totally comfortable and walkable for hours--the best sandal I have ever worn! Thank you, Columbia for continuing excellence in product.

I purchased pair of Kea 4 years ago and wear them everyday as soon as the weather warms up. I wear them hiking, at the beach, daily around town, to work and around the garden at the house. When they get dirty, I throw them in the sink and scrub them down with soap and a brush, rise and set them on the porch to dry. I haven't ever had a pair of sandals that can take a beating and bounce right back like my Kea. Now it's time for another color!

These look great with capris and sundresses. They work all day long and keep my feet in comfort while teaching.

Love, love, love these sandals. In fact, have yet to own any pair of Columbia sandals that did not fit and wear beautifully. Keep up the good work. (FYI: I'm an A fit and these do not flop around on my feet. Yay!)

Love these shoes. For me I love the way the big toe is partially covered and it keeps my toe apart from my 2nd toe. Get lots of compliments on them. Fit so much better than regular thongs. And more comfortable. I have them in black, brown and stone (or white).

I have worn a size 7 shoe my entire adult life. I have ordered same style as Kia years ago from Columia, size 7, however, this time size 7 was too small and very tight. I also compared to previous pair, new one's were smaller. I hated to have to return them as I simple love the style. Once I am credited, I will simply order a size bigger because I simple love this style sandal.

it isn't easy finding non-thong flipflops and these are perfect, very comfortable from the get-go and durable.

It is still a little early to tell if they will stretch, but they do not feel as comfortable as the last pair, the heel bed particularly feels much smaller. Granted, the last pair were bought in 2003 or so, but lasted forever and were like a pair of second feet.

I love this shoe -- wish it came in half sizes as 9 a bit short, but 10 too long.

I purchased 2 pair; one black and one khaki - both size 10. The black pair was smaller than the tan pair, noticeably. I really love these shoes, they are great for walking, errands, anything. I had purchased the prior models years ago and wore out two other pair! I kept both pair, but wish the sizing was more consistent.

Have never been able to wear "thong" sandals until the Kea. Visited my sister in FL. She has them in every color and encouraged me to try them. I was skeptical but wore them the entire day at a festival. No blisters, sore feet, etc. They are awesome. Hopefully, I will be able to train myself to wear thongs after these. Very comfortable.

This product is stylish, comfortable and something you could wear to the beach, shoopping and out with friends.

I use these shoes daily as work shoes and have other pairs of the same shoe for nighttime. I live in a casual tropical area. I like the toe arrangement on the shoe and have not found another that is this comfortable. Would like to see some other colors, like beige o dark blue.

My sister-in-law was visiting and I look at her shoes,tried them on and love the fit and comfort. She told me she got them on line direct, so I ordered a pair and love them. They are everything I expected and I'm thinking about ordering another pair in a different color.

These shoes are comfortable & practical...Great for a nice leisure walk...or non stressful hike...or a day of shopping...

I ordered the Kea because I could not find the Altamont Thong anywhere and this was as close as I could find. I ordered the same size as my Altamonts, but even though they fit they were way too narrow. I was so disappointed as they felt just like my Altamonts!!! I am giving them 5 stars because I know if they were wider I would have found my new favorites!!!! Please Columbia offer them in wide or bring back the Altamont!!!!

I bought a pair of these shoes two years ago. Because I love them so much I just bought another pair in case I'm unable to find them when I need new ones!!! They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Please don't stop making them.

A little narrow, but very comfortable!

I just bought my fifth pair of these Kea sandals and not because they showed any signs of wearing out. I wear them day in and day out (no kidding) and they started to smell like sneakers in my mind. Yes, I washed them and they even performed under washing machine conditions. They are super comfy and don't slip and slide like other sandals do. Since I have the worst feet in the world I gotta have these again and again.

I love this shoe. Is looks nicer than a flip-flop, but versatile to wear with shorts, skirt, casual dress or cotton pants. Sturdy support, long lasting material, good traction. I can wear it to the beach and to work.

What a great, comfortable sandal. Great fit! Have trouble buying shoes and especially sandals. I was in a popular shoe store in Bermuda having trouble finding a sandal that my foot won't slip out off (haven't had much luck this summer with sandals). A customer in the same shoe store has the same problem (straps are always to loose)and was wearing the Kea sandal and suggested that I go online and order the Kea sandal which I did (and she said it would be comfortable which it is). Thank you! Thank you!

I really like this shoe. It is easy on and off, casual and with the wrap around the big toe its so much more comfortable than a flip=flop.

For the last 5 years, I have been searching stores for a white Nevis Thong. About 3 weeks ago, I found the Kea on line. This was the first time I purchased shoes on line. The Kea was almost as comfortable as the Nevis right out of the box. This are the perfect versatile comfortable white sandal option I have found over the last several years.

i had the older version of these sandels for yrs...still using them....needed a newer cleaner pair, so i was thrilled to be able to replace them..(bought them in black and brown)...most comfortable and supportive "flip flop" on the market...love, love, love them...thanks columbia

This was the fourth pair of Kea's I bought- I have them in white, brown, black and light blue. They are so comfortable that I live in them all summer. I even wear them on my boat!

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I now have all the colors (2 in my favorite, the blue. I wanted to make sure I had them for a really long time in case they are changed or discontinued). I am living in these this summer. Great arch support and comfortable on my bunions. It actually appears to keep my big toe straighter. Love these sandals!!!

Love this thong/sandal. It fits exactly right, totally comfy, and great quality.

Columbia is one brand of sandal that I can count on to fit my narrow foot. They also hold up for years of wear and are super comfortable. Kea is just another good example of this.

I purchased my first pair of Columbia sandals three summers ago, and I still wear them. Every summer since, I have gotten a new pair, in different colors, because they are so comfortable, wear so well, and look nice. I have some foot problems that make it difficult for me to wear just any type shoes. These are just what I need!

I haven't bought Columbia shoes before, but this is the most superior flip flop I have ever purchased! The cushioning on the sole really supports my foot, and the way that the shoe holds the toe in place is very comfortable. The shoes are obviously well made with attention to the shape of a foot, an unusual thing these days! I am extremely happy with my purchase and now have two friends with the same shoe who tried mine and loved it too!

This model must never be changed, or I will be lost. History suggests that there is some negative, communication between manufacturers and my things that I have come to depend on. IF I love and need torely on some item that can't be easily , or ever, replaced , it is a matter of time before it is discontinued. The list is long. PLEASE DO NOT EVER DISCONTINUE THIS SHOE !!

These sandals are by far the best sandals I've ever owned! This is my second pair and they last for years!!!!! Love them so much!!!!

Disappointing shoe. Although they are attractive and look like the Nevis they do not have the comfort of the Nevis. i wish they would bring the Nevis back. It had a roomier foot bed and this one is cut smaller. Not the shoe the Nevis was. Too bad. With such a great shoe they should have continued it.

I have 2 pairs of the Kea sandals that I purchased 5 years or more ago. The design has changed and does not hold my heel in the sandal when I walk. I compared it to my old sandals and the inside of the sandal is shorter in length and thats the reason it does not hold my foot/heel in the sandal.

Love, love this sandal; they are so comfortable and so well made. No problems with timely delivery. Will order from Columbia again because their products are second to none.

Love the KEA. Have 5 pairs. 2 tan, black, blue, white

These are the new version of the ones I have been wearing for years. I was very happy with them and hope to be just as happy with these. This makes about 10 pair for me and I have recommended them to all my family and friends.
