All KEEN water sandals (both leather and synthetic webbing uppers), like our Newport, are machine washable on a gentle cycle. We’ve taken great care to develop leather uppers that will not crack, shrink, or stretch when washed.

* Remove any loose dirt or debris before putting them in the wash
* Throw them in the washing machine with mild detergent on a gentle cycle with cold water. We recommend washing them alone or with non-delicate items.
* Allow them to air dry, do not put them in a dryer.

For sandal styles that are not machine washable, like the UNEEK, we recommend hand washing with room temperature water and a mild detergent. You can use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the sandals. Allow sandals to air dry.

All KEEN shoes are treated with Eco Anti-Odor, a pesticide-free odor control using natural probiotics. If you still find that your shoes smell funky, there are a few things you can do.

* Clean – Some of our shoes are machine washable, like the Iconic Newport, but for other styles we recommend removing the insoles and handwashing them with a gentle soap, letting them air dry out of direct sunlight.

* Baking Soda – Sprinkle baking soda inside your shoes and let it sit overnight. This will absorb the moisture and neutralize odor. Shake it out the next day.

* Charcoal – Set charcoal packs inside your shoes to draw out the odor.

* Freezer – Put your shoes in a plastic bag and freeze them overnight, the cold will kill the bacteria.
