Keep a Good Thing Going.... |

| Wow!! I waited for years for a sandal that fit right. Usually if I wait long enough for something it eventually comes along. The minute I saw this sandal in a women's cycling catalog, I knew it was going to be good. I have worn them on every ride since I purchased them in Spring'08 - almost 2K miles ago. They are comfortable both on and off the bike, good toe coverage, great sole. I wore them everyday on a week long cross-state ride w/o a problem. You can even wear socks with them if it gets cool. I can't think of anything that needs to be different on them. The $ is a little more than I'd normally pay, but nothing else out there compares so I'm looking to buy another pair to have as a backup. Thanks Keen !! :) |

| I tried biking sandals before but they did not work out for me. These sandals are the answer. I use them for all summer biking and will probably use them into the fall with wool socks. They are narrower than normal Keen sandals but they are not too narrow for biking. They do not hurt the soles of my feet over long distance yet they are stiff enough to provide adequate power for pedalling. They allow good air flow. I had to get used to putting a bit more pressure to click out of the pedals as they do not provide as much leverage as solid bike shoes. Once I found out how much pressure was needed, it was not a problem. |

| Great shoes! I've worn these on my daily 9 mile RT commute, as well as on several 30-45 mile rides. Super comfy for cycling. But the best part is how functional they are off the bike. I walked all around San Francisco in them on a weekend trip (that also involved biking...they were my main shoes), and wear them at work on my casual Friday commute days. The cleats are recessed enough that you can walk more or less normally and not make tons of noise. People comment on how stylish they are, not realizing that they're cycling sandals. When I lift up my foot to show the cleat, people are surprised. |

Shoes and feet survive..... |

| After riding only one 100 mile day on my new Keen's, I set off on a 26 day, 100 mile a day adventure across the USA. The starting temps were well over 100 and continued in the 80s for most of the trip. Normally, the balls of my feet start to burn in my Sidis after 75 miles. This did not EVER happen in my Keen Sandals. They were perfect for me on this trip. Another rider on the trip, said that he felt the same. We wore them on our bikes, into the water and hiking. |

GREAT sandal! |

| I love the sandles! My husband bought me these for my b-day to use around town on my commuter bike, but I just finished a week long (450 mile) road bike where I used them and they worked out great! I had no complaints! I love the fact that the cleats are a little recessed so they don't scrape on the floor. Also, my feet are very wide and they still fit OK. The toe box was a little narrow for my wide feet, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. I'd definitely recommend this sandal! |

Cool, versatile |

| These shoes are very cool and can be worn all over. They fit a bit narrow but my feet are narrow so they fit me well. The only beefs I have are: they make my feet sweat (good thing they are washable!) so are not as good for hot weather riding as I thought they'd be, and they don't adjust enough to let my feet turn outward when clipped in, so I don't wear them for longer rides. Love them for commuting and every day use. |

great fit!! |

| I have not worn the sandal for biking yet, but it is great to walk around in. My feet are rather narrow and the Keen shoes I have tried on previously have been too wide. But these sandals fit perfectly and the size is true. I love the style and the blue color too. I can report back as soon as I wear them biking. But so far they get a 5 star. |

Love These Sandals! |

| I bought these in the spring and wore them all summer. I use them with platform pedals and PowerGrips. I am very pleased with the fit and comfort. They are the first shoe I have found that really works well for both touring and walking off the bike. An added bonus -- they are great for pounding in tent stakes once in camp. |

awesome sandal for touring/commuting |
| Rating: | |
| after getting my touring shoes very wet, I invested in a pair of these to commute in and also take touring. They work well for both and even in 60 degree weather with a pair of wool socks do the trick for damp days. dry overnight and ready for the next day---no more stuffing shoes with newspaper or taking shoecovers. |

How great are these?! |

| I was thrilled to find Keen bike shoes because I love Keen shoes. To my delight, they hold my foot firmly when clipped in to the pedal. They are also easier to walk in than road bike shoes. I wear half a size smaller than usual in Keen sandals and these were no exception. I am very pleased. |
