FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty backpacking?
The Keen Uneek Hiking Shoes are designed for light to moderate hiking and outdoor activities. They offer good comfort and traction but may not provide the ankle support or ruggedness required for extreme backpacking trips with heavy loads.
How do I clean the polyester cords?
You can hand wash the entire shoe, including the polyester cords, with cold water and mild soap. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these in the water?
Yes, the materials are suitable for getting wet and they dry relatively quickly. They are often used for water-adjacent activities like beach walks or light stream crossings.
Do they offer good arch support?
The shoes feature metatomical insoles, which are designed to provide arch support and a contoured fit for enhanced comfort during extended wear.
What is the main advantage of the two-cord construction?
The two-cord construction allows the shoe to move and adapt with your foot, providing a secure and dynamic fit that offers freedom of movement while maintaining stability.
How effective is the odor control?
The Cleansport NXT™ technology provides natural odor control by utilizing probiotic-based treatments that break down odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your feet fresh.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace capture system. Pull the laces to tighten or loosen the fit. Ensure the cords are evenly distributed for a balanced feel.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the razor siping offers improved traction, extremely slick surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Consider your footwear needs for exceptionally wet or icy conditions.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure the shoes are properly adjusted to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoes are suitable for the specific activity or if a different type of footwear might be more appropriate.
