Keen sandals

[SouthernBelle]

Speaking of Keene sandals....if anyone has an old beat up pair of the kind with the elastic lace, no matter what size, that they don't want anymore, I'd pay shipping to get them. I really need only the elastic and the little clasp that holds it for my left shoe. My dog Lucy really likes that one little clasp for some reason, and has chewed it twice! I've managed to put it back together but the elastic is really short and makes the shoe kind of uncomfortable, and I don't know how long the clasp is going to last.

I tried calling Keene and they don't send out parts. :P

Have you checked to see if you can find generic elastic laces? Or buy some elastic and make your own??

If these are the bungee style, Keen will send you replacements.

Go to: http://www.keenfootwear.com/faqs.aspx

Look for "does keen sell replacement laces" and then click on the link to request replacement bungee style laces.

Wow, how'd you get that to work???

I looked all over their site for that and the "click here" never worked...but it worked this time!

It's been so long since I did it that I didn't remember it until you posted. THANKS to you--my laces are on their way!

I just ordered a new pair of Keens in a really nice blue. Since I have to wear the guys sizes it's nice to find an almost pretty color for a change!

I am now into my third week on the Underground Railroad Route and if anyone thinks that these sandals cannot be used for long distance, I can now say that these are the best things I have ever put on my feet! I have worn them on two consecutive 90 mile days, on steep hills, in heat, in torrential rain, and worn them every day. They are wonderful. Yes, the are not as stiff as road shoes but for long distance comfort, ability to walk around if there are tourist sites on the route, and just all around great cycling sandals, these are the ones! About 8 people on our trip of 29 women have them and all are delighted with them. I can highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in sandals with cleats. I have SPD's, by the way. Don't know if they work with other types.

Awesome!

Glad you're having a good time and the Keens are a hit.

BTW, I assume the Keens will work with any cleat that's compatible with an SPD-type sole mounting. I use Eggbeaters with mine.

A gal in our office (Sandy) rode 357 miles in 24 hours wearing her Keen sandals at the 24 hours of Davis last month. She loved them.

A very good friend of mine wore hers on a 400km fleche a few weeks ago and was similarly enamoured.

Sandy jokes that all bets are off after 358 miles, though.
