New for 2025! Introducing KEEN “UNEEK WK”

This time, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new model for 2025 from the hugely popular sandal brand KEEN — the UNEEK WK.

KEEN is well known for iconic models like the NEWPORT, the original sandal that protects your toes, and the UNEEK, a woven sandal loved for both outdoor use and fashionable design.

The UNEEK WK brings together the signature woven upper of the UNEEK with the high-performance sole from KEEN’s walking shoe category “WK”, creating a hybrid shoe like no other.

This model combines eye-catching style with great comfort and functionality, making it a perfect new staple for the warmer seasons.

In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the features and charm of the UNEEK WK!

Upper Construction: Style Meets Comfort

UNEEK-Inspired Design and Fit

At first glance, the UNEEK WK looks just like KEEN’s popular UNEEK sandals with its iconic woven design. However, compared to the original UNEEK, this model features more coverage around the sides and toes, paired with a thicker sole for a design that leans closer to sneakers.

The two cords that make up the upper adapt flexibly to your foot’s shape and movement, giving a snug, secure fit that holds the entire foot comfortably — despite being a sandal.

Excellent Breathability & Sock-Friendly Style

The open gaps between the cords provide great ventilation. Plus, the design pairs well with colorful socks — making it a great option for spring and fall as well as summer.

Comfortable Fit for Wide Feet

Compared to the standard UNEEK, the toe box is wider and the instep is higher, giving your toes more room to move freely. This makes the UNEEK WK comfortable even for people with wider feet.

Soft Lining and Anti-Blister Construction

The heel area features added cushioning, and the inner lining is made from breathable mesh. This helps prevent blisters and allows for comfortable wear over extended periods.

Classic KEEN Bungee Lacing System

In the center is KEEN’s signature bungee lace system. You can easily adjust the fit without tying laces, making it quick and easy to slip on and off.

Sole Features: WK Sole Construction & Walking Performance

Inspired by KEEN’s “WK” Walking Shoe Line

Next, let’s take a look at the outsole. The UNEEK WK uses the same sole structure as KEEN’s WK walking shoe series, bringing excellent support and performance.

Equipped with “KEEN.CURVE” Rocker Sole

The biggest highlight of this WK sole is the curved structure called “KEEN.CURVE.”

Unlike standard sneaker soles, the outsole is shaped with an upward curve. This design helps naturally shift your body weight forward with each step, creating a smooth, rolling stride.

This advanced design was developed in collaboration with a physicist, based on the biomechanics of human walking. The result is a sandal that makes even everyday walking feel more enjoyable.

Incredibly Smooth Weight Transfer

Every step feels fluid as your center of gravity shifts naturally forward. It’s almost like the shoe rolls you along with each step.

Excellent Cushioning for All-Day Comfort

The midsole is designed with high shock absorption, reducing the impact from the ground and keeping your feet comfortable even during long walks. It helps reduce fatigue and strain on your feet.

Outdoor-Ready Traction for Any Terrain

The outsole features a tread pattern designed to grip even on unpaved surfaces. It provides excellent slip resistance, making it a great choice for both outdoor adventures and urban use.

Removable Insole for Easy Cleaning

The insole is soft and breathable, and can be removed for easy washing. This ensures you can always keep your shoes fresh and clean.

Conclusion: Experience a New Level of Comfort with UNEEK WK

UNEEK WK combines the lightweight, distinctive design of the UNEEK with the scientifically developed comfort and walking performance of the WK series—creating a hybrid shoe like no other.

With its snug-fitting upper, breathability, easy on-and-off wear, and smooth rolling stride, once you try them on, you’ll be hooked.

More than just sandals—they’re made to make walking fun. Whether for daily wear, travel, or outdoor adventures, these are a reliable choice for all occasions.

Try UNEEK WK this spring and summer and experience the perfect balance of comfort and style.
