After failing to keep my feet dry with several types of shoe covers in the past my intent is to use these with waterproof socks. I figure the sandal type uppers will dry quickly.
I now realize that on the Keen website, every size is listed as out of stock and they do not appear to be listed any more on their current models. I do not know if this means Keen is abandoning the cycling market or not, but at the moment that appear to no longer be available. I suspect that if anyone wants a pair, they should hurry up and look for a retailer that still has them in stock. If you order any, note the sizing comment on the manufacturers web site (link above) before you order.
I am not sure if they dry out that much faster, on my last tour I used some several-year-old Showers Pass overshoes on a rainy day to keep them reasonably dry. Most other shoe covers do not fit Keens very well. After a rainy day when I foolishly did not put on the shoe covers fast enough, I thought that they were slow to dry.
I use cleats with mine.
