First, let’s talk about design. It maintains the “rounded shape” of the traditional YOGUI!
It also features KEEN’s signature “Toe Guard” to protect your toes, continuing the look of YOGUI!
Like YOGUI, you can enjoy various styles by wearing it barefoot or pairing it with socks!
K Logo Part
And here’s the part on the instep that symbolizes KEEN’s “K”. It’s a big highlight of this update!
While the design is bold and exciting, this part is now detachable.
By attaching it to another hole, you can slightly adjust the height of the instep and narrow the width, changing the fit!
However, please note that while the original hole has a “dimple” on the back to fit the part, the other holes do not, so it may protrude slightly.
While it didn’t bother me when I wore it barefoot, it might be something to consider before purchasing!
Also, be careful as it requires quite a bit of force to detach.
Customization with Shoelaces
The K logo part can be removed not only on one side but also on the other, allowing you to completely remove it. This product comes with shoelaces and instructions for attachment, so you can use it as lace-up sandals!
This makes it easier to adjust the fit!
Additionally, besides the attachment method described in the instructions, you can try various other ways to attach it, allowing you to customize it to your liking!
Comparison with YOGUI
In conventional YOGUI models, even with the same color and size, the height of the instep varies depending on the manufacturing method, leaving some feeling that they might not fit well after wearing them for a while.
On the other hand, with YOGEEZ, customization has become possible, making it more easily accepted by a wider range of people!
In addition, compared to YOGUI, the sole of YOGEEZ is slightly softer with improved cushioning, and the outsole uses rubber only in the necessary minimal areas, making it lighter!
The size range is from 23cm to 30cm in 1cm increments, in unisex specifications.
Summary
How was it?
KEEN’s classic sandals “YOGUI” have finally been updated and the “YOGEEZ” has been introduced.
Like the previous YOGUI, you can wear them barefoot or pair them with socks for various styling options!
Whether for a casual walk, gardening, office wear, post-sports recovery, the ability to adjust the fit and the lightweight design make it suitable for a wide range of occasions!
