Footbeds

After extended use, we recommend you remove the footbed, wash by hand using a soft cloth and light detergent, and then let air dry without heat.

Care for Clothing

Care for Fast Dry Socks

Wash with warm water (105f/40c) and tumble dry on medium. Because of fast dry benefit less time will be needed in the dryer, which is a measurable form of energy conservation. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed.

Care for Leather

We've carefully selected leather uppers designed to last. Then again, if you're wearing your KEENS daily, they won't always be scuff and dirt-free. Gently brush the shoe with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove loose dirt and debris. Stains can be treated by lightly rubbing a gum eraser in a circular motion over the location and lightly brushing afterwards. Tough stains can be treated with a mixture of water and a little vinegar on a damp cloth. This process may cause slight discoloration to the area. Or we recommend using a nubuck leather cleaner and conditioner (Nikwax is a brand we like) found at most better footwear dealers and outdoor gear shops.

 

Care for Leather Water Sandals

All KEEN water sandals are machine washable. We’ve also taken great care to develop leather uppers that will not crack, shrink or stretch when washed. Even KEEN leather Newport sandals are machine washable! Use a small amount of detergent, wash on gentle cycle and air dry.

We recommend you clean Nylon using mild soap and cold water. To remove excess dirt or spot clean, use a stiff brush or soft cloth. Let shoes air dry away from heat.
