How to measure: stand on a piece of paper and mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe, then measure the distance in centimeters. If one foot is longer than the other, use the larger measurement and match it to the closest Heel-to-toe value in the chart.

Fit notes: every KEEN starts with a secure heel fit for stability, with room in the toe box for toes to splay. KEEN footwear is built on an anatomical last with fine-tuned arch support and cushioning, and protected by KEEN's iconic rubber toe bumper.

Ask a question

Do these run true to size?

These are built on Keen's Contoured Fit, which follows the contours of the foot for a comfortably snug fit. Offered in women's 6–10, including half sizes.

Can I get them wet?

The stretch gore upper is washable, but Keen do not publish this style as a water sandal and it has no quick-dry lining. Keen's care guidance is to brush it clean with a damp sponge and air dry away from heat.

How do I clean them?

Gently brush with a soft, damp sponge to remove loose dirt. Treat stains right away with a gentle cleaner. Air dry away from heat.

Will the footbed mould to my foot?

The footbed is a shock-absorbing foam insole with built-in arch support. Foam cushions and rebounds rather than compressing into a mould, so expect it to soften slightly with wear instead of taking a permanent impression of your foot.

Are they good for wide feet?

Contoured Fit is the snugger of Keen's two fits — it follows the contours of the foot rather than leaving extra room across the forefoot. For more forefoot room, Keen's Original Fit styles are the roomier option.
