Think a strappy sandal is only a dress-up sandal? Not at KEEN.
We Consciously Create our shoes with hybrid versatility in mind, so a strappy sandal can do more for you and go more places with you. Dress it up to go out to dinner, dress it down to walk to an open-air market or lakeside picnic. You can even hike in most of our strappy sandals. We love when one sandal can be your all-summer sandal.
Now that we’ve answered that question, you might be wondering which women's strappy sandal would be the best fit for your summer? Here are a few options:
Protection, durability, and traction are the main things to consider in an active strappy sandal – rugged enough to go off the grid, and refined enough to pair with a dress or skirt for al fresco dining.
Our closed-toe adventure sandals Bali Strap and Rose (pictured above) offer the most protection, with a KEEN.PROTECT toe bumper and durable, water-friendly webbing, and an adjustable hook-and-loop strap to dial in the fit.
For those who prefer open-toe sandals (hello, pedicure!), there’s the Leiki with an adjustable Z strap in water-friendly webbing and a women's-specific fit. It’s light and designed to dry quickly when wet, with a grippy Aquagrip outsole.
"Awesome! So comfy! They felt good from the get go! Even went dancing at the wedding!"

An all-around strappy sandal is a great way to pack light on summer trips exploring new cities. Cushioning is key for long days on your feet with wide-ranging itineraries.
Our bestselling Elle Backstrap sandal features shock-absorbing cushioning with arch support for all-day comfort plus stretchy recycled P.E.T. straps that gently hug your feet. Or you can opt for ethically sourced leather straps with the Elle Luxe sandal.
"I was looking for a travel sandal that was comfortable for long days walking, good looking, but also water tolerant. This ticks all the boxes!"
– KEEN Fan KES on Elle
We are all about multi-purpose footwear around here. When one shoe can do more for you, it’s better for you, your closet/luggage space, and the planet.
