These shoes are very cute, but the support is not as good as KEEN Venice sandals EVA footbed. The footbed in these sandals is made with a squishyish material, and tho there appears to be arch support, the material isn't firm like KEEN's regular EVA footbed. These KEEN Bali Sandals are, however, amazing if you compare them to flip flops! I wear these on low walking days or by the pool, I wear my KEEN Venice sandals whenever I need good support. I prefer sandals with the regular KEEN EVA footbed and sling back for more support and faster gait while walking.
