Start with Your Routine
A men's slip-on shoe is a simple choice until you see how many styles exist. The real question is what you'll do in them. If you want something to ease into after a hike or a long day on your feet, a clog with a textured footbed might suit you. If you prefer a slide you can wear from the couch to the curb, a hybrid with outdoor traction could be a better fit.
Two popular options from KEEN are the Shanti Clog and the Howser III Slide. Both are slip-ons, but they serve different moments in your day.
Two Slip-Ons at a Glance
- Men's Shanti Clog | Black/Dawn Blue: The Men's Shanti Clog from KEEN is a simple slip-on clog made for casual wear. Its textured footbed lightly massages post-adventure feet. The footbed is designed for recovery and relaxation, not for long walks or active use. It's a clog you slide into when you're done moving.
Men's Shanti Clog | Black/Dawn Blue - Men's Howser III Slide | Bison/Black: The ultimate hybrid comfort slide, now with bungee for an even cozier fit. Super comfy inside, with traction for outside. The Howser III blends indoor cushioning with a sole that handles outdoor surfaces, plus a bungee adjustment to dial in the fit. It's more versatile for quick trips outside.

Clog vs Slide: What to Consider
The Shanti Clog and Howser III Slide are both slip-ons, but they suit different priorities.
- Fit and adjustability: The Shanti Clog is a simple pull-on design with no laces or straps. The Howser III Slide has a bungee that lets you adjust the snugness, which can help if you prefer a more secure feel.
- Footbed feel: The Shanti Clog has a textured footbed that provides a light massage, ideal for relaxing after activity. The Howser III focuses on overall cushioning and comfort for all-day wear.
- Where you'll wear them: The Shanti Clog is intended for casual settings like camp life, vanlife, or beach trips. The Howser III is built for both indoor and short outdoor use, with traction that handles pavement and light trails.
- Size availability: The Shanti Clog is offered in Regular width in select sizes from 7 to 14. The Howser III Slide is available in Regular width from size 7 to 13. Check your size against the available options before ordering.
Making Your Choice
If your main goal is a recovery shoe for post-adventure downtime, the Shanti Clog's massaging footbed and easy-on design make it a straightforward pick. If you want one slide that works for lounging indoors and stepping outside without changing shoes, the Howser III Slide's hybrid sole and adjustable bungee give it an edge.
Both are casual footwear options, but they fill different roles. Let your daily routine—not just the style—guide the decision.
