Anybody tried these?
Just got an email telling me what my REI dividend is and with the 20% coupon I'll have enough to get them. But my feet are picky. I would go to the store and try them on.
There may be better things to blow my div on.

some people love Keen. I found their platform too rigid for my feet.
They are well made shoes and I sigh every time i see my Orange keens that i can't wear anymore. Do try them.
Mimi, do you not wear a stiff bike shoe?
Also just realized I am not being specific enough. I mean the Commuter Bike sandals:

Yes, I wear SIDI's, but I don't hike in them!
My feet are rarely too hot, so I have not gotten bike sandals yet. I was just referring to the foot bed in the Keens i have owned. My feet are not flat, just different from the "keen mold" whatever that is. I am very jealous of my girlfriend who CAN wear the keens, they are really cool.
So if they fit well, the ones you are looking at; I can guarantee they are a good shoe.
I have three pair of Keen summer shoes and one pair or Keen winter boots (I'm wearing them right now). I love Keens and find them incredibly comfortable...that said they can get a little sticky and stinky in the summer.

I am envious of those of you who can wear Keens. They are always too "high" for me (i.e. there is a lot of room between the top of my foot and the upper of the shoe). But they're really cool.

I just bought a pair of the Keen bike sandals from TE. Although I haven't gone out on any long rides on them yet, so far so good on my trainer. They're pretty comfy.
If I commute in to work tomorrow (15 miles each way), I'll let you know how they work out.
I use Eggbeater pedals & cleats, btw

My Keen Taos lace clasps slip, so that the shoes are always loose. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the laces tight?
I am very interested in purchasing Keen Commuter Cycling Sandals; however, I have road clips. Do these sandals work with road clips? or do they only work with SPD clips? Sorry, but this is only my second year of cycling and I am very new to clips.
Thanks,
