Back to blog

At Keen, we believe in making shoes that do more. More for you, and more for the planet. That's why our sandals are designed to support every step of your adventures, from rugged trails to river crossings to everyday city life.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through our range of versatile, consciously created sandals. Whether you're an avid adventurer or just searching for your next go-to summer sandal, read on to find the perfect fit.

Why Should You Choose KEEN Sandals

- Iconic Toe Protection – We pioneered the protective toe bumper on sandals. It’s a KEEN signature and a lifesaver on rocky trails and city curbs alike.

- All-Terrain Grip - Our outsoles are built for adventure. Whether you are on the trail, in the water, or somewhere in between, KEEN has you sorted.

- Water-Ready & Quick-Dry Styles – Many of our sandals are made to thrive in water, and dry quickly afterwards.

- Eco-Friendly Comfort – With eco anti-odour treatments and recycled material in select styles, we build sandals that feel good and DO good.

- Two Fits, Your Choice – Our Original Fit is wide with extra room in the forefoot, letting toes spread naturally for a relaxed feel. Contoured Fit hugs the foot’s shape for a snug, supportive fit that moves with you.
