Product Information
Full details
These KEEN Clearwater CNX sandals are designed for active adults seeking versatile footwear for water-based activities and light trails. Their key benefit is a low-profile, ground-feel design combined with excellent traction and quick-drying materials. A potential caveat is that the original fit provides generous toe space, which may feel too wide for those with narrow feet.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The KEEN Clearwater CNX sandals are well-suited for light hiking and trails, especially those involving water. Their durable construction and good traction provide support, but they may not offer the extensive support needed for very rugged or long-distance backpacking.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the bungee lace system until the sandal feels secure but not constrictive. The heel strap should hold your foot comfortably. Remember that KEEN's Original Fit offers generous toe space, so if you have very narrow feet, they might feel wider than expected.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, many people wear these sandals with thin, quick-drying socks, especially in cooler weather or for added comfort. The bungee system can accommodate this.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the sandals?
For everyday dirt, a rinse with water and a brush is usually sufficient. For deeper cleaning, follow the machine wash instructions: gentle cycle with mild detergent, then air dry.
What does 'CNX' stand for?
CNX refers to KEEN's 'Connext' technology, indicating a lower profile design that provides enhanced ground feel while maintaining protection and support.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The materials used are water-resistant and quick-drying, making them ideal for use in and around water. However, they are not designed as waterproof boots; water can enter through the open design.
What is the warranty on these sandals?
Please refer to the official KEEN website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose even after tightening laces.
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. If still loose, consider if the 'Original Fit' is suitable for your foot width. Thicker socks might provide a snugger feel for casual wear.
Traction is reduced on very muddy surfaces.
While designed for wet traction, extremely thick mud can pack between the lugs. Clean the sole by rinsing with water and brushing away debris.
Sandals have an odor after use.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry. Ensure they are completely dry before storage. Occasional rinsing with a diluted vinegar solution can help neutralize odors.
Straps feel stiff after drying.
This is normal for polyester webbing after washing. They will soften with subsequent wear and moisture exposure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip on wet surfaces due to specialized lug design and siping.
- Quick-drying materials make them ideal for transitioning between water and land.
- Machine washable for easy maintenance after adventurous use.
- Comfortable for long periods thanks to the cushioning footbed and arch support.
- Secure and adjustable fit with the bungee lace system.

Cons
- May be too wide for individuals with narrow foot shapes due to the original fit.
- The polyester webbing, while durable, may not offer the same aesthetic as leather for some users.
- While suitable for light trails, they may not provide enough support for rugged, long-distance hiking.
- Bungee lace system, while convenient, might require occasional adjustment for optimal fit.
- The brown/green colorway may not suit all personal style preferences.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the bungee lace system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The lace lock ensures the fit remains consistent. KEEN's original fit provides ample room in the toe box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers. These sandals are suitable for a wide range of activities including water sports, casual wear, travel, and light hiking. They are compatible with various foot shapes, particularly those needing extra toe room.
Care: KEEN water sandals are machine washable. To clean, use a small amount of mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle. It is important to air dry the sandals; do not place them in a machine dryer. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
