KEENwhisper-w womens Sandal

Q: Can I wear these in the ocean?

These shoes are great in the water, hiking (short hike 5,6 miles), and everyday. I have worn kayaking many times. I have four pair of these sandals and where them all seasons (Florida).

Q: What the W stands for? Is a different model?

I do see that there are the regular Whispers and the W. I’m not sure if that’s a newer model or if it’s for wider feet. I do notice the colors are different.

Q: Could you place your orthotics in these with possibly placing something to help them stick on the bottom?

Yes! I cut squares of heavy duty, stick-on velcro, & put a square on the insole, & the other square on the bottom of the orthotic. You have to be careful to match up the squares. For each sandal, I use one on the heel and one on the ball of the foot. I use them in all my sandals, & my orthotics never slip. Good luck.

Q: What is the sole made of? Is it plastic or suede? The is the part that's right next to the bottom of your foot. Thanks.

The sole is a soft yet sturdy plastic material. It is very supportive (like all keen shoes)- Next to the bottom of my foot is the soft plastic contoured foot pad.
