What are the Keen Women's Astoria West Sandals?
The Keen Astoria West Sandals are a stylish, functional footwear option designed for women who love to blend outdoor exploration with urban outings. These hybrid sandals provide comfort, durability, and eco-conscious design to support your active lifestyle. Whether tackling trails, splashing through water, or enjoying casual walks, they've got you covered.
What are they made of?
The upper of the Astoria West Sandals is crafted from recycled P.E.T. plastic sourced from plastic bottles, making them durable and eco-conscious. By repurposing plastic waste into a strong yet flexible material, these sandals offer a comfortable fit that stands up to outdoor adventures and helps reduce the environmental impact of producing new plastics. This sustainable choice supports the reduction of landfill waste and lowers the demand for virgin plastic production, contributing to a cleaner planet while providing reliable, long-lasting footwear.
For added practicality, the upper is lined with a quick-dry material, ensuring the sandals remain comfortable and dry even during active use, such as water sports or hiking in damp conditions.
Underfoot, the sandals feature a foam strobel board that provides an extra cushioning layer, enhancing the overall comfort with every step. The foam midsole contributes to lightweight cushioning, absorbing impact and reducing foot fatigue, making these sandals ideal for extended wear.
The insole is made of shock-absorbing foam and has built-in arch support, which helps evenly distribute weight, reduce pressure on the feet, and ensure all-day comfort.
The outsole is designed for excellent performance on various surfaces. Made from non-marking Aquagrip rubber, the outsole features Aqua Stop zonal siping, a specialised pattern that maximises traction on wet and slippery surfaces. This rubber ensures you maintain a steady footing even when conditions are challenging, making the sandals perfect for water activities.
To keep the sandals fresh, Keen incorporates Eco Anti-Odour technology. This natural, pesticide-free treatment helps control bad smells by preventing the growth of odour-causing bacteria, ensuring that your sandals remain pleasant to wear even after prolonged use.
What are their features?
These sandals are a Keen original hybrid, offering versatility that easily transitions from trail to town. Their specific fit, designed by women for women, caters to the unique biomechanics of female feet. This design supports your natural foot shape while allowing your toes to splay, enhancing comfort and stability.
These sandals' hybrid versatility makes them ideal for various activities—from hiking on rugged trails to strolling around town or paddling in the water.
Thanks to their quick-dry webbing and slip-resistant Aquagrip rubber outsole, you can trust these sandals to keep you steady and secure on wet and dry surfaces. The contoured fit follows the natural shape of your foot, providing a snug yet comfortable experience.
With their heel lift feature, the Astoria West Sandals offer an active wedge design that puts you in a more dynamic stance. The heel is cupped for added stability, helping you maintain balance as you move. This lift also makes the sandals feel more supportive and comfortable during extended wear.
The slip-on design of the Keen Astoria West Sandals makes them practical for any outdoor enthusiast. With this feature, you can easily slide your feet in and out of the sandals without the fuss of adjusting laces or straps. This feature is handy when you're on the move and transitioning from a hike to a quick dip in the water or stepping out for errands.
Thanks to the easy-on bungee lacing system, adjusting the fit is fast and effortless. This system allows easy tightening or loosening, making it ideal for a secure fit on rough terrain or a more relaxed feel during casual use. The elastic bungee adapts to your movement, maintaining stability without the hassle of traditional laces.
One of the protective features is the KEEN.PROTECT Toe Bumper. This durable rubber component shields your toes from rocks, debris, and accidental impacts, reducing the risk of stubbed toes during outdoor adventures.
For convenience, Keen water sandals are machine washable. Just use a small amount of detergent and wash them on a gentle cycle. This simple care routine keeps them looking fresh and ready for many adventures to come.
