Keen Uneek Shoes

The Keen Uneek Shoes in Dark Earth/Chipmunk offer a bespoke feel through an unconventional design built for the trail. To achieve a truly adaptive fit, the construction utilises a unique two-cord system that moves independently to conform to the specific contours of your foot. Featuring a siped outsole for excellent grip and a versatile colourway, they provide the structural security of a shoe alongside the cooling ventilation of an open sandal.

Keen Uneek Shoes Key Features

• Constructed from recycled P.E.T. plastic cords that form to the foot for a custom, pressure-free fit.
• Engineered with a Contoured Fit that follows the natural shape of the foot for a comfortably snug and secure feel.
• Features a razor-siped outsole designed to channel water away, providing exceptional grip on wet and slippery surfaces.
• Equipped with a lightweight midsole that provides supportive cushioning and effective shock absorption for all-day wear.
• Includes an easy-on bungee cinch and lace-lock toggle for rapid adjustments and an instantly secure fit.
• Built with a soft microfibre lining to ensure a smooth, irritation-free feel against the skin.
• Finished with Eco Anti-Odor technology using natural probiotics for pesticide-free freshness and odour control.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Summer travel and coastal exploration where transitioning between dry land and wet surfaces is frequent.
• Individuals with unique foot shapes who struggle with traditional fixed-upper shoes and require an adaptive cord system.
• Casual city wear for those who appreciate a distinct, avant-garde aesthetic combined with outdoor performance.
• Eco-conscious consumers looking for footwear that incorporates recycled plastics to reduce environmental impact.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shoes feature a Contoured Fit which is designed to sit closer to the foot than Keen’s wider Original Fit models.
• The free-moving cord system provides incredible freedom of movement, ensuring the upper never pinches or restricts the foot during flex.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the bungee toggle allows you to fine-tune the tension across the bridge of your foot.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash only using cold water and a mild soap to preserve the integrity of the recycled plastic cords.
• Remove excess dirt or spot clean specific areas with a stiff brush or a soft cloth before washing.
• Do not machine wash, as the mechanical agitation can damage the intricate cord construction and the bonded sole.
• Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
• Regularly clean the microfibre footbed to maintain the effectiveness of the natural odour control.

Our Keen Uneek Shoes FAQs

1. Are these suitable for hiking?
   They are excellent for light hiking, beach walks, and urban trails, though for very technical or rocky terrain, a closed-toe boot may offer more lateral protection.

2. Can they be worn in the water?
   Yes, the cords and synthetic materials are water-friendly and the razor-siping is specifically designed for traction on wet surfaces.

3. What makes the "Two Cords" special?
   Unlike a solid piece of leather or mesh, the cords can shift and adjust as you walk, meaning the shoe never resists your foot's natural movement.

4. Is the cord durable?
   The recycled P.E.T. cords are high-tensile and designed for heavy use, offering surprising strength and long-term durability.
