Men’s Drift Creek H2 Sandal
The Keen Drift Creek H2 is Keen’s new hybrid watersports/hiking closed-toe sandal that’s comfortable to wear and designed to feel at home both in and out of the water.
Out of the box, the lace-lock bungee system allows the user to fit into the shoe quickly and easily. The low-profile design is lightweight and flexible for improved ground contact, whilst the integrated lateral supports help to stabilise both the ankles and heel, whilst the design follows the contours of your feet for a secure fit.
The open sandal drains very quickly and is complemented by the quick-dry lining. The only caveat is that the closed-toe design can collect debris from the river bed, which can be difficult to dislodge as opposed to an open sandal. It depends on how you view it and whether you prefer the protection that closed-toe affords you both in and out of the water. The EVA insoles have contoured arches for mid-foot support and all-day comfort on land.
The shoe’s construction is sound and reliable, with the washable quick-drying upper webbing made from recycled plastic bottles with an Eco natural odour control.
With its waterproof materials, protective toe box, and excellent wet traction, the Keen Drift Creek H2 stands out as an excellent all-round performer from a company that produces excellent sandals as standard. They are available for both men and women plus different colour combos.
