FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
While the materials can handle water, the open-toe design and leather upper are best suited for light water activities like wading or crossing streams rather than full immersion swimming. Ensure they are dried properly afterward.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Keen. The Uneek model has a unique fit due to its woven structure. Try them on if possible, or consult customer reviews for sizing advice.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
These sandals are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions. The leather can be damaged by excessive moisture, and the open design offers little protection from rain.
What is the difference between the leather and non-leather Uneek models?
The leather models feature a premium suede or full-grain leather upper for a more refined look and feel, whereas other Uneek models may use polyester or nylon webbing for a sportier aesthetic and quicker drying.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, applying a leather conditioner every few months, or when the leather appears dry, is recommended.
Are these sandals good for hiking long distances?
They offer good support and traction for light hikes and casual walking. For very long or rugged trails, dedicated hiking footwear might be more appropriate due to the sandal's open design and specific support.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose
The woven upper has some flexibility. Ensure you have the correct size. If minor adjustments are needed, try wearing them with socks initially or adjust lacing if applicable to your model.
Leather shows signs of wear or drying
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for suede or nubuck. Use a soft brush to maintain the texture.
Soles are dirty and traction is reduced
Clean the rubber sole with water and a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and air dry.
