FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the KEEN Original Fit is designed with generous space across the forefoot to allow toes to spread naturally, which can be beneficial for wider feet.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently brush the leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?

While the materials are durable, it is recommended to rinse the sandals with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and allow them to air dry to preserve the materials and traction.

What is the advantage of the open-toe design?

The open-toe design provides increased ventilation and freedom for the toes, enhancing comfort in warm weather and allowing for natural foot movement.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust all four points of the sandal: forefoot, midfoot, and heel straps, along with the speed lace system, until the sandal feels secure and comfortable without being restrictive.

Does the waterproofing last indefinitely?

The KEEN.DRY membrane provides durable waterproofing. The DWR treatment on the leather helps maintain water repellency, but like all waterproof treatments, it may diminish over time with heavy use and require reapplication or care.

What is the 'Eco Anti-odour' feature?

This is a natural, pesticide-free technology integrated into the lining that helps control odor-causing bacteria, keeping the sandals fresher for longer.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels too loose or too tight

Utilize the four adjustable points (forefoot, instep, and heel) and the speed lace webbing system to customize the fit. Tighten or loosen straps as needed for optimal comfort and security.

Water pooling inside after getting wet

The quick-dry lining helps manage moisture. Ensure the sandals are allowed to air dry completely. If odor becomes an issue, the removable footbed can be cleaned separately.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner or cleaner specifically designed for footwear. This will help restore moisture and suppleness to the leather, especially after exposure to water or prolonged use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These sandals are ready to wear out of the box. Adjust the webbing straps at the forefoot, instep, and heel to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The speed lace system can be tightened or loosened as needed.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these sandals are suitable for a wide range of warm-weather activities including hiking, water sports, travel, and casual wear.

Care:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Gently brush leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  2. Waterproofing: The KEEN.DRY membrane is inherently waterproof. The environmentally preferred DWR treatment on the leather helps prevent it from drying out. For prolonged exposure to water, allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Odor Control: The Eco Anti-odour technology works naturally. Regular airing of the sandals helps maintain freshness.
