👣 KEEN Black Gargoyle ARUBA Sandals: Stylish Men's Athletic Shoes Review

If you expect them to be the same as the original Aruba you will be very disappointed. First, they now have a synthetic tread, not the rubber of the original but crappy and awful plastic that doesn't stick to it, making it almost entirely decorative. After just a few wears in my house, they glided across the hardwood and tile floors. I'm REALLY disappointed that Keen lowered the price and removed the rubber soles but are still charging the same prices. They're also half a size smaller, so it's…

Everyone should have a pair of these things. I'm size 11, but you need to order 1/2 smaller than your usual size, e.g. B. 10.5. I've had a pair of these mules for years and have worn the soles until they were smooth (sometimes I epoxidize the soles to keep them from walking because they are so comfortable and only get better with age). When I went to buy a new pair, they were nowhere to be found and I assumed the company had discontinued that line of sandals. But here they are back. I don't…

Bought these shoes for my husband who has had 3 spinal cord injuries and lives with chronic pain. These shoes gave him confidence when walking and excellent support. He said it actually seems to align his body better when walking and has a "great" grip! If he could he would give 10 stars, would order another pair for him and put away to come back when they wear out! Highly recommended!

Glad to find these flip flops although they are primarily intended for men; I'm glad I'm the right size; They are great for everyday outings but am disappointed that the overall lower quality of these shoes bears no resemblance to the Keens I have purchased in the past. Soles aren't the expected dense, odorless material, but lightweight plastic; These shoes were made in China and it shows; My other two pairs of Keen are still in good condition after 5+ years but I'm not sure how long these…

I would have liked to see the top view before buying because my feet are straight but the shoes are designed for crooked feet (no offense, bow-legged people) . The pattern on the heel points in a completely different direction (e.g. 16.5 degrees - see attached image) than the webbing along the top of the foot, and then the toe box is farther from center. When I put my front foot into the front foot of the shoe to make it look right, my heel hangs sideways off the back. When I place my foot so…

Since when does Keane mess up? All of these shoes look like they're made from recycled plastic, which would be fine if they were a lot cheaper and advertised as eco-friendly. However, it is expensive and shouldn't be that cheap. Look at the picture of the ugly visible glue lines. Unacceptable. For reference, the size was too big for better perception as the lack of heel caused the shoes to fall off immediately.

They had an open offer for just under $30 with shipping. Great offer. There is some confusion here on this. The current version is II, the version everyone is complaining about was the second version, but it never belonged to Aruba. I had a pair of the medium version and they were very different and ran small. I had the original version and they wore well for indoor use. I wore them indoors all the time. This current version, Aruba II, is the most beautiful version they have made. They should…

This is my 9th pair of Keens and the materials and build quality seem to meet their high quality standard. I've worn a size 11 Keen in a variety of styles for over a decade, but the size 11 Aruba IIs I've ordered have been HUGE. I sent them back and ordered a pair of 10.5s. I am keeping the 10.5s but they are still slightly larger than my Newport 11s which have the same insole design. If I hadn't been so impatient I would have sent them back to try a size 10. I'm surprised they are so far from…

I read all the reviews on this before I bought it, like I said I ordered a half size smaller d still a bit big, like 10 1/2 still. So I did what Mr. White did in his previous photos: I took a pair of identical shoelaces (54 inches cut in half was enough) and laced them up as shown. You can play around with them a bit to customize them the way you want. Maybe Keen should think about lacing them up. Like my other 3 pairs of Keens since 2010, ALL the other 3 have worked great over the years 😎👍✅.
