FAQs
Are KEEN Uneek Lea sandals waterproof?
They are designed to handle water and dry quickly, but they are not fully waterproof as they feature an open-air construction.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
They are best suited for light trails and walking; for high-intensity, technical mountain hiking, a closed-toe boot is recommended.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The cords should feel snug but not restrictive. You should be able to move your toes freely and the heel should remain centered.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sandals as the agitation can wear out the cord structure and damage the leather.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
Yes, the unique two-cord design is exceptionally accommodating for various foot widths because the cords expand and contract based on movement.
Troubleshooting
Cords feel too tight across the bridge of the foot
Adjust the integrated lacing toggle to allow for more slack, letting the cords redistribute tension naturally.
Debris stuck inside the cord weave
Gently shake the sandal upside down; for stubborn items, use a dull plastic tool to carefully push the debris out without snagging the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Uneek Lea sandals involves proper fit and maintenance. When you first wear them, the cords will naturally adjust to your foot width; if they feel too snug, simply loosen the toggle adjustment slightly. To maintain the leather's lifespan, avoid storing them in direct sunlight for long periods. If they get muddy during a hike, allow them to air dry away from heat sources. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried debris and wipe the leather with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing to prevent damage to the cord tension system.
