ScottMcI've been using these for years. They are the best cleated sandals I've seen so far. Back before the Keen's came out, I tried Shimano's sandals multiple times but they were so uncomfortable I couldn't even walk around the store in them for 5 minutes.
My feet sweat a bit. I can wear leather sandals without socks, but I find I have to wear socks with the Keens because the footbed absorbs nothing and they get both sticky and stinky. With socks, they're fine. I use these with Crank Bros cleats and they have plenty of clearance, so walking doesn't wear the cleats down. Eventually, if you have them long enough, the sole wears thin and the cleats begin to wear. At that point, I build the soles back up with shoe goo. They take it well and are good for a few more years. The uppers are tough. They're just beginning to show some wear, after about 10 years.
What could be improved? Reduce the weight, add a footbed that wicks moisture, otherwise great sandals.
