Here's an interesting one. I bought a pair of Keen Sandals for the BWCA and I love them!! They feel great and dry fast. I have one problem:

My pinky toe pops out of them on both feet. Anyone have a simple solution to this?

So far i've read in what i can find, tape the pinky to the next toe and sew fabric over the hole.

Thanks everyone in advance.

I'd suggest maybe trying a different model. Some of them the toes are more covered.

My dad broke his toe partly due to that on the long portage north out of Gun. He's since changed footwear

i'm almost positive. i know what pair you had, with a open toe. keen dropped them and went to a close toe style. they are tighter at the ankle, just made different. newport hydro.

i would say have a pair of socks to put on for the trail.
