Full details
The Keen Uneek sandal is designed for active adults seeking a versatile and comfortable open-air footwear option. Its key benefit is the adaptive fit provided by its unique cord system, offering both security and freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that the open design may not be suitable for very cold or wet conditions. This innovative sandal features a two-cord, three-point-of-contact system that molds to your foot, a supportive midsole, and a high-traction outsole for wet surfaces, all while incorporating recycled materials and eco-friendly odor control.

FAQs
Are the Keen Uneek sandals good for hiking?
The Keen Uneek are suitable for light hiking on dry or moderately wet trails where good grip is needed. They are not recommended for technical terrain or situations requiring significant ankle support.
How do I clean my Keen Uneek sandals?
Hand wash them with cold water and mild soap. Use a brush for tougher spots. Allow them to air dry away from heat. Do not put them in the washing machine.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
Yes, the Keen Uneek features a contoured, supportive midsole designed to cushion steps and provide comfort, which includes an element of arch support.
What does 'Eco Anti-Odor' mean?
Eco Anti-Odor is a natural, pesticide-free treatment applied to the footwear that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your sandals fresh.
Can I wear these sandals in the water?
Yes, the quick-drying materials and water-channeling outsole make them suitable for activities where your feet may get wet, such as kayaking or walking near beaches.
Are these sandals made from recycled materials?
Yes, the upper and laces of the Keen Uneek incorporate recycled PET plastic, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How do I adjust the fit of the Keen Uneek?
The fit is adjusted using the bungee lace system and the heel-cinching cord. You can loosen or tighten these elements to achieve your preferred level of snugness and security.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose
Readjust the free-motion laces and drawstring closure until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved. Ensure the heel strap is also properly adjusted.
Slight odor after prolonged use
The Eco Anti-Odor treatment helps, but for persistent odor, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry thoroughly.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the razor-grooved outsole is free from debris. Clean the soles with water and a brush if necessary. The grip is optimized for wet surfaces but may be reduced by heavy mud or oil.
Slipping heel
Adjust the rear cord system to create a more secure heel lock. Ensure the correct size is being worn; a shoe that is too large can cause heel slippage.
