FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides significant natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof unless specifically noted as having a waterproof membrane. Applying a water-repellent spray can enhance protection.
Can I use these for intense backpacking?
These shoes are designed for hiking and casual outdoor activities. For multi-day backpacking with heavy loads, ensure the support level meets your specific gear weight requirements.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the leather and the adhesives.
Do they fit true to size?
KEEN shoes generally adhere to standard sizing, though we recommend trying them on with hiking socks to ensure the 5.5 UK fit is perfect for your needs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or fresh KEEN replacements.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after drying
Apply a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material and restore flexibility.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Consider using an aftermarket performance insole to refresh comfort and arch support.
Surface scuffs appearing
Use a leather-safe buffer or neutral cream to polish and hide minor cosmetic blemishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your KEEN leather shoes ensures longevity and performance. Upon purchase, ensure the 5.5 UK fit is correct by wearing the hiking socks you intend to use on the trail. To maintain the leather, gently brush off loose dirt after each hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the surface, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack. Applying a leather conditioner periodically will help keep the material supple and water-repellent.
