FAQs
Are the KEEN Jasper Split shoes waterproof?
No, the KEEN Jasper Split shoes are not waterproof. They feature a canvas upper and breathable mesh lining, making them suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain or wet environments, waterproof footwear is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the KEEN sizing chart for women's footwear. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Trying them on if possible is always the best approach.
Can I replace the foam insoles?
Yes, the foam insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness to maintain the shoe's fit.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best for light trails, gravel paths, park walks, and general casual wear. Their design offers good ground feel, making them suitable for uneven surfaces where you want to feel the terrain, but they are not designed for technical mountaineering or extreme conditions.
How effective is the anti-odor technology?
The anti-odor technology helps to naturally inhibit the growth of odor-causing microbes, keeping the shoes fresher for longer. It is a preventative measure and may be more effective with regular airing and cleaning.
What does 'deconstructed' mean in this context?
Deconstructed refers to a design approach that emphasizes simpler construction, often exposing some internal elements or using fewer components. For the Jasper Split, it means a less structured, more minimalist upper that allows for flexibility and a closer feel to the foot and ground.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the tongue-to-toe lacing. If still tight, ensure you have the correct size or consider using thinner socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly. Note that canvas shoes with low-profile outsoles may have reduced grip on very slick surfaces compared to aggressively treaded waterproof boots.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the foam insole is properly seated. If discomfort persists, try a different thickness of sock or consider an aftermarket insole suited to your foot arch.
Canvas appearing worn or stained
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, test a specialized canvas cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the canvas and mesh, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Insoles: The removable foam insoles can be taken out and hand-washed with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove debris.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage the materials.
