Women’s Sandals

WHY BUY KEEN WOMEN'S SANDALS

First, you start leaving the windows open. Then, you forget your jacket for the first time. And suddenly you have an overpowering craving for iced coffee. No doubt about it, summer is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about sandals. Unless, that is, you’re one of the many women who wear their sandals year-round. (We get it. We’re pretty big supporters of the socks and sandals movement ourselves.)

Let's not overcomplicate summer gear. We like one pair of shoes you can do a whole bunch of stuff in. Our women’s sandals, flip-flops and slides are built to go many places, from rocky riverbanks to dusty trailheads, black sand beaches to your neighbor’s backyard birthday party. But which pair is The One?

KEEN WOMEN’S OUTDOOR SANDALS

The trick for outdoor sandals is finding that just-right balance between breezy comfort and rugged support. The Newport sandal for women is just that. It’s well-ventilated and airy feeling, but still protects your foot with a closed-toe as you’re scrambling over fallen logs or scaling a rocky outcropping. The most supportive walking sandals for women in the KEEN family, they have a heavy tread outsole that keeps you from slipping on wet or muddy terrain.

Pro tip: If a Newport (or any KEEN shoe) has “H2” in the product name, that means it’s ok to go in the water - so jump in!

KEEN WOMEN’S SANDALS FOR TRAVEL

For packing suitcases, nothing is better than the UNEEK trainer-sandal collection. It's a great travel shoe as the minimal design flattens out to take up less space. The corduroy upper is super flexible and molds to the shape of your foot. Plus, it looks a wee bit fancier than the classic strappy sandal (Our friends have worn them for cycling in Portland, visiting ramen shops in Tokyo and even getting married on a Hawaiian beach). It's definitely a more casual shoe for walking around town than an outdoor or water shoe for ladies, but if they get wet, it's no big deal.

KEEN WOMEN’S SANDALS FOR NARROW FEETS

Generally, KEEN shoes are a bit generous (for that comfortable feel and toe wiggle we love). If you have a narrower foot, you'll appreciate the Whisper walking sandal for women. Its shape has more contour and also features a lace-up closure that can be tightened for a perfect fit. The UNEEK collection of walking shoes for women also has a more contoured fit. The flexible corduroy upper comfortably adapts to different foot types.
