FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance hiking?

Yes, the cushioned midsole and supportive design make them suitable for long-distance walking and day hikes. For extremely rugged or multi-day backpacking trips, heavier-duty hiking boots might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the inside of the trainers?

To clean the inside, remove the insoles if possible and wash them separately with mild soap and water. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried before re-inserting insoles.

What is the expected lifespan of the waterproof feature?

The KEEN.DRY waterproof membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and cleaning, the waterproof and breathable properties should last for the typical lifespan of the shoe, provided the membrane is not physically damaged.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.

Are these trainers good for very cold weather?

These trainers offer good protection against wet conditions but are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for cool to mild temperatures. For very cold conditions, consider insulated winter boots.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers should feel snug but not tight. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite being waterproof

Ensure the shoe is properly laced to create a snug fit and that the tongue is correctly positioned. Excessive sweating can also contribute to dampness; consider moisture-wicking socks. Check that the waterproof membrane is not compromised by damage.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that might be clogging the treads. The rubber compound is designed for grip, but accumulated material can hinder its effectiveness.

Discomfort or pressure points

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure the correct size is selected. If discomfort persists, consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust the internal volume. Check lacing for uneven pressure.

Odour after prolonged use

Utilize the Eco Anti-Odour technology by airing the shoes out after each use. If odour persists, clean the insoles with a mild detergent and allow them to dry completely. Consider using specialised shoe deodorizers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof performance keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
  • Breathable materials enhance comfort during activity.
  • Good traction on diverse surfaces provides stability.
  • Comfortable cushioning supports feet during extended use.
  • Odor control technology helps maintain freshness.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for wide feet due to a potentially narrower fit.
  • The design is specific to male foot anatomy.
  • Lacks the extreme ruggedness of heavy-duty hiking boots.
  • Waterproof membrane can reduce breathability in very hot, dry conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Suitable for a range of activities including hiking, walking, and general outdoor wear. They pair well with typical outdoor apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the exterior. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the KEEN.DRY membrane's effectiveness, periodically clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
