FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Jasper trainers are crafted from suede and are not treated with a waterproof membrane.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the toe-box is designed for a snug, climbing-inspired fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, we recommend hand cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap to preserve the suede and rubber integrity.

Are these suitable for technical climbing?

While they are inspired by climbing approach shoes, they are designed for casual wear and approach trails, not for technical wall climbing.

Do these provide arch support?

The Jasper features a supportive footbed designed for all-day comfort, though it is not a high-orthopedic corrective shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose while walking

Ensure the laces are threaded through every eyelet up to the toe. Use a double-knot if you find they loosen throughout the day.

Suede looks dull after light use

Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to lift the nap of the suede and restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your KEEN Jasper trainers last, begin by ensuring you have the correct size; the climbing-inspired fit is designed to be snug. Because the upper is made of suede, avoid wearing these in heavy mud or deep puddles to keep the material from staining. If the shoes get dirty, gently brush away surface dust with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the rubber or stiffen the leather. Periodically check the rope-style laces for fraying and replace them if necessary to maintain the integrity of the lacing system.
