There is no shortage of companies that sell active footwear, but when I think of footwear for being off trail in the outdoors Keen sandals come to mind. The total line of Keen footwear is designed for the person that is going to challenge themselves in the wilderness. Keen shoes, sandals and boots can be purchased in many styles and colors but they are all designed for durability and can be worn on the rocks and in the water.
Keen has 2 basic styles of sandals. One is more of an open style allowing more of the foot to be exposed. These sandals are great for leisure wear. They are excellent for walking along the beach. All of their sandals have their patented toe protection. So, these sandals can be easily worn on the boardwalk, beach and areas with light rocks. This footwear offers the support and traction need on a wet surface.
The other type of sandal that Keen makes is similar to a shoe, but they are more open than a shoe. They look like an athletic shoe that has slats or holes in the sides. These shoes are made for the open water. If you are boating, canoeing or rafting these sandals are a necessity. They offer a secure fit, comfort and are made of waterproof materials that dry quickly. These shoes are a great option for the person that is going to spend the day on or in the water.
Keen sandals are priced between $50 and $100. And can be purchased online through the manufacturer’s website. Their website does have a store locator that will list stores that carry these shoes in your general area. Most of these stores are specialty shoe stores, sporting goods stores and outdoor living stores. If you are looking for reduced prices, Amazon and Nextbuy are good options for finding the best prices.
If you enjoy the outdoors and have never thought sandals would be an option, you should check out Keen sandals. They have styles that give you light protection for being around water. There are also styles available that give you the protection, support and durability that you need to survive in the rugged outdoors.
