Keen Newport H2 Mens - Navy/ Medium Grey 10

I purchased Keen sandal a few years ago and like how comfortable it was and decided to purchase another pair in the different color while I was on the trip at Zion National Park.I wore the new pair for a day and noticed how uncomfortable it was and it started to cut my skin for rubbing against the shoe straps around the ankle.Looks like new pair was tighter around ankle straps and the cut on the side was a half centimeter difference from what I measured although it was a same size and same style.I submitted the claim but I was told will need to speak with the original retailer about a return/exchange for this pair because the shoes were purchased withing 30 days.As I already back from the trip and it's not convenient to reach back to the retailer.I ended up ... MoreI purchased Keen sandal a few years ago and like how comfortable it was and decided to purchase another pair in the different color while I was on the trip at Zion National Park.I wore the new pair for a day and noticed how uncomfortable it was and it started to cut my skin for rubbing against the shoe straps around the ankle.Looks like new pair was tighter around ankle straps and the cut on the side was a half centimeter difference from what I measured although it was a same size and same style.I submitted the claim but I was told will need to speak with the original retailer about a return/exchange for this pair because the shoes were purchased withing 30 days.As I already back from the trip and it's not convenient to reach back to the retailer.I ended up leaving that new pair of shoes because I can't wear it.I don't think I will buy any new shoes from Keens due to inconvenient return policy.

I got these for stream crossings and camp shoes for backpacking. Also for hiking and other general use.The Keen Newport is versatile and serves all these activities quite well.I have a high instep/arch, and there is enough stretch for me to slide in easily. The enclosed toes are essential for outdoor use and the sides, back, and top provide protection and support while maintaining open air feel.The insoles are extremely comfortable, supportive, and hold your feet in place even when wet.Tread design works great on all kinds of terrain, especially wet slippery rocks.On a recent trip in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, we had 5 stream crossings in short succession, some with deep mud leading to the stream. Rather than constantly switching between boots and sandals, ... MoreI got these for stream crossings and camp shoes for backpacking.

Rather than constantly switching between boots and sandals, kept the sandals on throughout this section. I was impressed at how much support the Keens provide with a loaded pack over challenging terrain. I'm confident that if I ever had catastrophic boot failure, I could still hike out with the Keens.Like all shoes, I'd suggest trying them on first as everyone's feet are different. I normally wear a size 9, and got the 9.5, so keep this in mind if you order online w/o trying on first.The Keen Newport sandals are well designed and constructed. I have used them for a variety of activities for over a year and definitely recommend!

Fell apart after a couple uses. I bought these to have down at the lake as the beach has lots of rocks. I needed something kind of rugged, but waterproof too. I've never had a pair of Keens but had plenty of other brands of hiking shoes. Oboz, Salomons, Merrell to name a few. I've always heard good things and read good reviews about Keen so I figured I'd try a pair. They were relatively expensive for a pair of sandals, and figured for how expensive and big of a name Keen is in the hiking shoe/boot market, figured they might be worth it. So I pulled the trigger and tried them. I've maybe used them a handful of times, 3-5 times down at the beach on the lake. The tread pretty much even looks brand new still. The bottom soles on both shoes have separated and almost ... MoreFell apart after a couple uses. I bought these to have down at the lake as the beach has lots of rocks.

The bottom soles on both shoes have separated and almost falling off.Would have rather paid a 1/4 of the price for a pair of silly Crocs. They would have lasted longer. Pretty disappointed for how expensive these things were.
