Troubleshooting
Sizing feels inaccurate
The sandals are designed with KEEN Original fit, offering generous space. Ensure the lace lock bungee system is tightened correctly for a secure feel. If still uncomfortable, consider consulting the sizing chart or trying on in person if possible.
Water pooling inside the sandal
The quick-dry lining is designed to minimize water retention. Ensure the footbed is properly seated and the sandal is not overly submerged without allowing drainage. Natural drying will occur quickly.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove any debris that may be hindering grip. The water-channeling grooves are designed to work best when free of obstructions.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Follow the care tips for gentle cleaning.
