FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Jasper trainers are made of suede and are not treated as waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
Can I use these for long hikes?
While they are inspired by climbing shoes, they are not designed for long-distance backpacking. They are ideal for light approach walks and daily urban use.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically for suede to gently remove surface debris. Avoid water-based cleaners unless they are specifically designed for suede.
Do they run true to size?
The KEEN Jasper generally fits true to size, but the climbing-inspired profile means they have a snug fit. If you prefer more room for thicker socks, consider sizing up a half-size.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the Jasper uses standard rope-style laces. You can replace them with similar diameter climbing-style laces if you choose.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the lacing system entirely from the toe box and re-thread to create a more relaxed volume before tightening to your preference.
Suede showing signs of water spotting
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a dry suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you adjust the rope-style laces starting from the toe box to distribute tension evenly across the mid-foot. Since these shoes feature a suede upper, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If you encounter mud, allow it to dry completely before brushing it off to prevent staining the fabric. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant purple and yellow colour palette.
