KEEN Women's Zerraport Ii-w Fashion Sandals

Product Information

Andrew Friedman is a New Hampshire native who loves the Presidentials and spent his college summers guiding trips in the Adirondack High Peaks. It combines great toe protection, a comfortable fit under your feet, good traction, and an open design that drains water very quickly. They run true to size; I wear a men’s 11 1/2 or 12 in street shoes; the size 12 is a good fit for me.

That was the mindset of our designer when she transformed our iconic hybrid sandal into an open-toe, active wedge sandal with a women's-specific fit and slip-resistant grip. COMFORT: Like virtually every Keen sandal I have ever worn, there is a moderately firm but forgiving contoured footbed.The tradeoff with any open design is that little stones and grit can more easily work their way under your feet, whereas closed shoes made of mesh tend to limit that. One note—as a shoe that has a little bit of extra room, probably for a thin pair of neoprene socks if you’re rafting or canoeing in really cold water, lateral stability is just OK; might improve somewhat with a water/river sock. In addition to New England and the Adirondacks, he has hiked the shores of the Great Lakes, the Tetons, a number of California's state and national parks, the Albanian Alps, and trails in India, Asia, and the Middle East.

The pieces where the straps run through gave me concerns about friction points, but that has not proved to be an issue.

The rubber compound seems fine, perhaps not as sticky as some other options like the Bedrock Cairn Pro’s "megagrip" sticky rubber. The superlight design has a textured footbed that gently massages tired soles and toes while you relax and sip your favorite post-activity beverage. This one has the added benefit of siped soles, good traction, and an open design that dries quickly. As a final note, rich tie-dye patterns are embellished throughout the upper straps, while KEEN’s Metatarsal footbed has been molded for a seamlessly natural fit. My feet are fairly wide; there is maybe one inch of strap when I pull them tight, so a really large foot might not work with these.
