Keen Cycling sandal sighting

OK, I see the first Keen Cycling sandal offering at REI, due out next month, oops missed the Christmas Holiday Duh! Shows black only and the Keen website doesn't show it at all. I emailed them for the scoop, will post when they reply.

Oh nifty! Thanks for the post.

I have some regular Keen walking sandals which look just like those. Comfy!

Mind that I haven't cycled in my Keens (other than just "puttering" around the neighborhood), so can't say if the toe guard might be problematic or not.

I've worn out 2 pair of shimano SPD cycling sandals, so will give these Keens a try when they come out.

Thanks - looks like a narrower footbed than a typical Keen. It will be interesting to see what people think about them once they are out on the street.

I have a Keen regular sandal which I have used also for cycling this summer. It was comfortable and perfect sandal AFAIK for cycling. As soon as the new Keen cycling sandal is out, I deffinitely would get one. I was at REI store this afternoon and didn't get a chance to browse the shoe section.
