Full details
The Keen Uneek Sandals in 'Pale Lilac' are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, breathable footwear for warm-weather casual use. Their key benefit lies in their unique, supportive design offering excellent grip on wet surfaces. A potential caveat is their specific sizing, so checking the UK size is important. These sandals feature a distinctive three-dimensional woven leather and cord upper, a soft microfiber lining, a contoured supportive midsole for shock absorption, and a non-marking rubber outsole with water-channeling sipes.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Keen Uneek sandals offer good grip on wet surfaces and a supportive midsole for casual wear. However, they are not designed for technical hiking and may lack the necessary support and protection for rugged trails.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately. These sandals are listed in UK women's sizes. Comparing your foot measurement to the chart is the most reliable method.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater or chlorinated pools?
While the materials are generally durable, it's best to rinse the sandals with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or pool chemicals and allow them to air dry to prolong their lifespan and maintain material integrity.
How should I clean the leather and cord upper?
Spot clean the leather and cord upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the sandals or using harsh chemicals. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main advantage of the Uneek design?
The Uneek design's primary advantage is its unique 3D construction using interwoven cords and leather, which provides a flexible, adaptive, and secure fit combined with excellent breathability.
Are these sandals waterproof?
These sandals are water-friendly and designed to drain and dry quickly, but they are not waterproof. They are intended for warm-weather use where breathability is key.
Troubleshooting
Slipping or loose fit
Adjust the bungee lace-lock toggles for a more secure fit. Ensure the cords are not tangled and the toggles are fully engaged.
Discomfort on the arch
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The supportive midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear for short durations initially.
Water retention after getting wet
The razor-siped outsole is designed to channel water away. Ensure all water has been squeezed out and allow the sandals to air dry completely. Check that the footbed is not retaining excess moisture.
Leather or cord becoming stiff
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat when drying. If the leather feels dry, a specialized leather conditioner (used sparingly and tested on an inconspicuous area first) might help, but consult Keen's official care recommendations for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the bungee lace-lock system to achieve your desired fit. Ensure the toggles are securely positioned to prevent loosening during wear.
Compatibility: The Keen Uneek sandals are designed for adult women's casual wear. They are compatible with most casual outfits and are best suited for warm weather conditions. While they offer good grip, they are not intended as technical hiking or specialized athletic footwear.
Care: To maintain the leather and cord upper, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the sandals to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. For the microfiber lining and rubber sole, a gentle wipe-down is usually sufficient. It is recommended to periodically check and clean the bungee cord for any debris that might impede its function.
