FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the stability shank, underfoot cushioning, and secure fit make them suitable for many hiking distances, especially in warmer conditions. However, the open-toe design may not offer enough protection for very rugged or technical trails.
How do I clean the leather and mesh materials?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a damp sponge. For tougher stains, use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for outdoor footwear. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?
The KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane is designed to keep feet dry from external moisture like rain. However, water can enter through the open-toe design if submerged.
What is the benefit of the KonnectFit heel capture system?
This system is designed to provide a secure, locked-in feel for your heel, enhancing stability and reducing slippage during movement.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
What terrain is the KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN rubber best suited for?
This rubber compound is designed for high traction on a variety of surfaces, including muddy, rocky, and uneven terrain, providing sure footing.
How do I determine the correct size?
KEEN Original Fit offers generous space for toes. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult KEEN's sizing guide, paying attention to foot width.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproofing.
Check for breaches in the KEEN.DRY membrane or ensure the water is not entering through the open-toe design during submersion.
Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole and lugs of mud or debris. The aggressive tread requires clear contact with the surface for optimal grip.
Fit feels too loose or unstable.
Re-adjust the speed lace webbing system and ensure the KonnectFit heel capture system is properly secured. Consider if the sandal's generous original fit is suitable for your foot width.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure the footbed is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, the underfoot cushioning system may need time to adapt to your gait, or consider if the fit is appropriate for your foot shape.
