Full details
The Keen Uneek sandals are designed for active adults seeking versatile, comfortable, and sustainable footwear. Their standout benefit is the innovative two-cord construction, offering a unique, adaptive fit and excellent freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that the open design may not provide adequate warmth or protection in very cold or rough environments. These sandals feature a minimalist design with advanced comfort technology, including a bungee cord system for an instant fit, a contoured footbed, and a high-traction outsole suitable for wet surfaces. Made with recycled PET plastic, they also incorporate natural odor control.

FAQs
Are Keen Uneek sandals suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails, especially in warm or wet conditions. For rugged terrain or hikes requiring significant ankle support, dedicated hiking boots are recommended.
How do I adjust the fit of the Uneek sandals?
The fit is adjusted using the bungee cord and cord lock system located at the heel. Loosen the cord to put them on, then pull it to tighten for a secure fit.
Can I wear these sandals with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot, some users may prefer to wear thin, moisture-wicking socks. However, the adaptive fit is optimized for sockless wear.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the cords?
Use a soft brush with cold water and mild soap to gently scrub the cords. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
What does 'Eco Anti-Odor' mean?
It means the sandals have a natural, probiotic-based technology incorporated into the materials to inhibit the growth of odor-causing microbes, providing a more sustainable approach to odor control without harsh chemicals.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The sandals are water-friendly and dry quickly, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to perform well in wet conditions and can be submerged.
What is the primary benefit of the two-cord design?
The two-cord design allows the sandal to move and adapt with your foot, providing freedom of movement and a secure, custom-like fit.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the heel
Adjust the bungee cord system for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the heel lock is properly positioned.
Cords feel uncomfortable
Loosen the bungee cord slightly and reposition the cords on the foot. Allow for a short break-in period as the cords adapt to your foot shape.
Sandals are difficult to put on
Fully loosen the bungee cord to open the sandal wide. Slide your foot in, then pull the cord to tighten. Ensure the heel strap is not twisted.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for wet grip, some smooth, polished surfaces may still be slick. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. In very slick conditions, exercise caution.
