KEEN Men's Uneek Sandal

Product Information

The polyester braided and microfiber enclosure of the Uneek is what makes the shoe — it defines it, and makes it unique (I waited a long time to say it!). Overall I love it. It’s comfortable, breathes well, has held up, and I quite like the look of it. Some people don’t, and that’s perfectly fine. KEEN makes its own soles, and this one is solid. It doesn’t have gobs of traction, but feels good on basic terrain. My feet were sore afterward, but that’ll happen after walking for six miles and standing in lines all day no matter what shoes I’m wearing. And they weren’t terribly sore, either. Digging Deeper The sole is too heavy for something that doesn’t have great tread. Either make it lighter and more casual, or keep the weight and add some solid tread so I can really hike in it!

On the heavier side for a hiking sandal. On the lighter side for a shoe. Thus the hybrid category. We wish it was a little lighter. If you’ve worn the Newport sandal, you probably don’t want to give up the toe protection and support for other shoes. But for beach trips and casual walking days, sometimes you just want a minimal flip-flop or clog. KEEN beach sandals come in a variety of flavors for any vacation, whether you’re a lay-on-the-beach type of person, or the guy who’s constantly trying to sneak off to a new trailhead.We categorize hiking sandals in a few ways, with Closed-Toe Casual being the most mellow and protective. They are usually the most comfortable, which the Uneek certainly is.

The Keen Uneeks fit more like shoes than sandals, and your toes should definitely not touch the front, or they will rub uncomfortably. Grievances For the upper being made of polyester rope, which could easily fray or be cut, I’ve found the Uneek’s durability to be outstanding. Our UNEEK sandals are another option when you want to combine hot climes with long days on your feet. Constructed with just two cords joined by a bungee closure, the UNEEK sandal uppers adjust as you walk to fit your foot. With just the right balance of structure and freedom, these lightweight, airy sandals are a traveler’s dream. KEEN Waterproof Beach SandalsThe beauty of a sandal that protects your toes is that you can use it for almost everything, and when you’ve tried them you might be surprised how far you’ll want to roam. KEEN sandals are a great choice for travel whether you’re sightseeing in the city or hiking new trails. While all of the above are interesting, we find the original Uneek to be the most unique, and the best of them all — though the leather model is great if you want a dressier shoe.
