The point of these kinds of sandals/shoes is to provide the cyclist with a shoe suitable for walking some distance while providing a cleated shoe instead of just regular shoe that would require a platform pedal or be counter productive on a narrow cleated pedal.
The sole stiffness difference between the Keen and Shimano sandal is huge. I wear the Shimano ones even when not cycling and have even gone hiking in them and traveled for weekend trips with nothing but them.
