What to know about this mule
KEEN builds a wider toe box than almost anyone in this category, which is the main reason people with splayed forefeet end up here. Napped leather like this dusts rather than scuffs. A suede brush along the nap restores it; water does not.
The footbed is moulded rather than mouldable — support comes from a fixed shape, so there is no break-in period and no personalisation either.
The open heel vents heat and comes off without bending down. It also means the shoe is held by your instep, not your heel — if you are curling your toes to keep it on, it is too big. A cold-weather clog. Lined uppers run warmer than they look, and are better indoors and on short outdoor trips than on long walks.
Most of these are built on EU lasts and converted inconsistently to US sizing. Where you can, work from the EU number.
Leather needs roughly a day to release the moisture it absorbed from your foot. Two pairs alternated each last more than twice as long as one worn daily.
