Discussion Keens or Sneakers for E-bike Touring?

[Creepy Cra]

We're doing a bike and barge trip in August with E-bikes. I wore sneakers last time but I'm wondering if Keens would provide better support and comfort for longer rides. Has anyone tried both for E-bike touring? What’s your experience? I want to make sure I'm comfortable but also stylish enough for the barge stops.

I've done a few E-bike tours and found that Keens offer great support for longer rides, especially if you’re planning to explore off the bike as well. They often have good traction and can handle different terrains, plus they’re stylish enough for barge stops. Sneakers, on the other hand, are lighter and can be more breathable. Have you considered a hybrid option, like a sneaker with a sturdy sole? That way, you get the best of both worlds! What’s most important to you—style or support?
