KeenMen's Commuter 4 Cycling Sandal(Return to Product Page)

I recently switched my road bike from Look to SPD's. Love having SPD's because they are so much easier to click in. I used Shimano sandals for years and thought I'd try out the Keen's,

They are fairly comfortable- a bit on the heavy side. With the mesh and closed toe they don't breathe as well and are a bit on the warm side. My biggest problem with fit is at the joint behind my little toe- there is a pressure point and it can be irritating. I wear sock with them about half the time which helps a bit. I do like that I can use them for mountain or road.

One observation- I went for a ride the other day and was caught in a thunderstorm and got soaked through. On my next ride 3 days later I was very surprised that they were still damp on the inside. The liner much not drain so well. So from now on I'll store them vertical with the toe side down so they should air dry better.

Overall I'd say try them but make sure you like the fit.

Oh, one other thing- when I installed the SPD's I used a Park torque wrench at the setting Shimano recommends. I actually stripped one of the nutplates in the Keen shoe. Luckily they have two positions per nut per nutplate so I was able to install them. I'd recommend to only use about half the recommended torque.

With the issues above I'll give it 3 stars.

I bicycle tour with these and they are so good. Get off the bike and go any where in them. Back on the bike and pedal another 50 miles. Repeat repeat repeat. Great value and well built. KEEN told me they weren't making them anymore so I got a backup pair. Buy two pairs.

This is my second pair of Keen cycling sandals. I like the style of these shoes because they are great in the summer when you don't want to completely wrap your foot. Having a cycling sandal is perfect. In the winter when it is cold and wet these shoes still work great because I wear sealskin socks...my feet stay dry and the shoe dies faster than a conventional shoe. These sandals do seem tighter than my original ones from 6 years ago but I suspect they will stretch out. Also the size was tricky. There was a big difference between the size 10 and 9.5. I usually wear a 10 but they were way too big yet the 9.5 was perfect.

Perfect width for my narrow feet, no heel makes it a shoe I can wear every day. Very good protection for the toes, unlike many sandals. Haven't used with SPD yet, the sole works great with toe clips, straps, pedal cages.

No more wet socks and shoes. These sandals make it comfortable to ride in the humidity of Florida. Sturdy.

I love these bike shoes got wide feet poor circulation last bike shoes I got feet kept going numb love the keens I will buy them again as soon as I need another pair plus I live in AZ cool comfy bike shoes perfect
