Keen Bicycle Sandal

Chris —  May 29, 2013

There’s really no good reason not to ride a bicycle. It’s healthy, good for the environment, and a ton of fun. If you are going to make bicycling a regular part of your lifestyle, it’ll take some strategy and the right gear.

I’ve been thrilled with my Keen Bicycle shoes, and I just got my first pair of Keen sandals. WIth an SPD cleat, they clip into your wheels, giving you more control power and control. Unlike racing shoes, the Keen sandal’s cleat is embedded within the shoe, keeping you from making that weird clinking sound. They’re subtle enough, I wear them the way I would any pair of sandals.

So far, I’m pretty happy with the sandal. The straps take a little getting used to. Getting used to new clips can also be a little dangerous. If you’re approaching a stop, be sure to unclip ahead of time. But for the most part, they offer control, style and comfort.

They’re on sale now at REI. Let me know what you think!
