Sandals
Sandal Washing Instructions
All KEEN water sandals (both leather and polyester webbing upper) are machine washable on the gentle cycle, in cold water with a mild detergent. Allow to air dry. We've also taken great care to develop leather uppers that will not crack, shrink or stretch when washed!
Leather
Caring 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. We recommend using a nubuck leather cleaner and conditioner. These products can be found at most better footwear dealers and outdoor gear shops.
Waterproof/Breathable Technology
Caring for Waterproof/Breathable
To enhance product performance, we recommend cleaning your footwear in cold water with mild soap or detergent, and then let air dry without heat.
Synthetics
Caring for Synthetics
We recommend cleaning these products with mild soap and cold water. To remove excess dirt or to spot clean, use a stiff brush or soft cloth. Let shoes air dry without heat.
Footbeds
Caring for 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.
Wool
Caring for Wool
Wool shoes should be cleaned with light brushing. If they are really soiled, use a spot-removing foam, then brush them. Please do not put wool shoes in the washing machine
