FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Keen Uneek Sandals are best suited for light hiking and walking on established trails. Their traction is good, but they lack the robust support and protection of dedicated hiking boots for strenuous or uneven terrain.
How do I clean my Keen Uneek Sandals?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What makes the 'two-cord' construction special?
The two-cord construction uses flexible, recycled plastic cords that interlock and move with your foot. This creates a unique, adaptable fit that conforms to your natural foot shape.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
Yes, these sandals are designed to be water-friendly and dry quickly. The razor-siped outsole also provides enhanced grip on wet surfaces.
What is the lining made of?
The sandals feature a soft microfiber lining for added comfort and to help manage moisture.
Is the sizing true to fit?
While the adaptive nature of the cords can influence fit, generally, the sizing is considered true to standard adult shoe sizes. It's recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate measurement.
What is the main benefit of the razor-siped outsole?
The razor-siping technology cuts small slits into the rubber, increasing the surface area and creating more biting edges. This significantly improves traction and grip, especially on wet, slippery surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the bungee lace system. Pull the cord to tighten and press the toggle to loosen. Experiment with different tension levels for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Cords causing slight irritation
Ensure the cords are not overtightened. Try repositioning the cords across the top of your foot. Break in the sandals with shorter wear periods initially.
Reduced traction on very slippery surfaces
While designed for good grip, extremely polished or excessively wet surfaces may still pose a slipping risk. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clean.
Material discoloration after prolonged sun exposure
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged, intense UV exposure can potentially affect material color over time. Store in a shaded area when not in use.
