FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for intense hiking?

The Keen Jasper Zionic is suitable for light to moderate hiking due to its durable construction, good grip, and supportive features. For very rugged or extreme terrain, consider hiking boots with higher ankle support.

How do I clean the suede uppers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used cautiously, followed by air drying. Avoid machine washing or excessive water.

Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or different types of insoles for personalized comfort and support.

What does 'Eco Anti-Odor' mean?

KEEN's Eco Anti-Odor technology uses naturally occurring microbes to break down odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your footwear fresh without the use of harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are designed with water-resistant materials and feature Eco Anti-Odor technology. However, they are not fully waterproof. The suede upper may absorb water, so avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

They perform well on a variety of terrains including light hiking trails, uneven paths, gravel, and urban environments. The 4mm lugs on the outsole provide good traction.

How does the lacing system provide a secure fit?

The tongue-to-toe lacing system allows you to adjust the tension from the toe box all the way up to the ankle, enabling a highly personalized and secure fit tailored to the contours of your foot.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear with appropriate socks. The lacing system can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, consider the removable insoles which can be replaced with different types of orthotics.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the suede is treated with a waterproofing agent, though extreme wetness can still affect grip on any shoe.

Foot odor after prolonged use

Leverage the built-in KEEN Eco Anti-Odor technology. Air out the shoes after each use. Remove and wash the insoles separately as needed. Consider using anti-odor spray for shoes.

Suede material getting wet

Suede is not fully waterproof. Avoid submersion in water. If they get wet, remove excess water by dabbing with a cloth and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Apply a suede protector spray to improve water resistance for future use.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult males. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. The versatile design makes them suitable for a wide range of activities, from hiking and trail walking to casual urban wear.

Care: To maintain the premium suede uppers, use a suede brush to remove dirt and debris regularly. For stains, a damp cloth and mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Treat suede periodically with a waterproofing spray designed for footwear to enhance protection against moisture.
