Problem: Your feet get hot and sweaty in the summer, yet you still want shoes that protect them on hikes and bike trips. Solution: Pretty much anything by Keen. I bought the Clearwater CNX sandals last year when they were a new line at Keen. I wanted something for cycling long tours and for summer hiking trips.

Keen makes some sandals for folks who like to clip their feet to the pedals, but I’ve not been a fan since I broke a leg playing bike polo while wearing foot straps. I like to be able to jump off the bike in emergencies.

They don’t offer ankle support, but the toe box curls up and around so you can kick and climb rocks without worrying (trim your toenails, though, or they’ll catch on the inside). The neoprene and webbing arrangement stops any slipping, and the quick-adjust cord adjusts the fit with a quick yank. I’ve also taken the CNXs kayaking — they’re made for water sports after all — and they are just as good wet as dry. And the socks?

On the bike, the airflow isn’t great. I figure it’s because the feet don’t move much inside the shoes. Merino wool and synthetic socks both wick moisture, and wool doesn’t smell even after days on the road.
