The Clearwater Leather can do almost anything. Its lightweight and low-profile design make this sandal stand out. The significant toe protection, the stability plate in the midsole, stretch lace materials, and the waterproof leather upper ensure an excellent fit. Even on slippery surfaces, multidirectional lugs and the ultra-thin sole profile provide traction. Keen has minimized weight by using thinner and lighter materials. No worries, the tried-and-true toe protection remains intact. Every CNX model is lightweight. CNX shoes allow the wearer to move more freely and naturally. Just enough material has been used in all models to provide adequate protection for your feet. Can a shoe protect your toes? The answer is yes. This is due to Keen's patented toe protection that surrounds the toes completely, offering ultimate protection.
