FAQs
Are these Keen Jasper trainers waterproof?
No, these are made from suede and are not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning with a brush.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the recycled PU and cork footbed can be removed if you need to use your own orthotic insoles.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Keen Jasper generally fits true to size, but the extended lacing allows for significant fit adjustment.
Are these suitable for long hikes?
They are ideal for light hiking and walking, though for intense, multi-day trekking, you may prefer a dedicated hiking boot.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing minor surface dust or dirt.
Use a soft bristle brush or dry cloth to gently sweep away the particles without applying water.
The shoes feel tight across the top of the foot.
Loosen the tongue-to-toe lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to increase volume.
There is a stubborn stain on the suede surface.
Use a dedicated gum eraser for suede to gently rub the spot until the mark fades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Keen Jaspers provide the best experience, start by adjusting the tongue-to-toe lacing to match your foot volume, ensuring the shoe feels snug without restricting blood flow. Compatibility is broad, as the understated black aesthetic pairs well with both activewear and denim. Regarding care, because the upper is made of suede, you should avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture. To clean, use a soft bristle brush or a dry hand towel to gently lift surface dirt. For more persistent stains, a dedicated suede gum eraser is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
