KEEN Men's Newport Sandal

These are excellent. I've found these original Keen Newport sandals much more comfortable than the H2 versions, which I returned because the artificial-material webbing rubbed my feet. Footbed of the originals is more comfortable too, plus I prefer how they look. Wide toe box keeps toes cool and comfortable and lets them spread out, providing stability. Soles are excellent for grip.One tip: whatever size you are in Clarks, go a size larger in Keen.

Quality: Very sturdy, high quality, well made sandals. Comfortable to wear right from the start and for long periods at a time, these Keen Newport H2 sandals provide additional protection via the closed toe front whilst still being sufficiently 'airy' in design to let your feet breath in hot conditions. The materials used appear to be of high quality and waterproof so that you can walk through streams, puddles or into the shallows of the sea when at the beach, without water damaging these sandals. The sole is particularly sturdy, offering excellent support and protection in all the right places including heels, foot arches and toes for when walking long distances or across uneven terrain. I also found the under sole grips to be good in wet, slippery and uneven underfoot conditions.Style: Robust, built for purpose. Available in several colour options to suit a range of tastes. However, if you are looking for more flimsy, lightweight and delicate boutique style sandals to wear as a fashion statement, then these might not be for you.Comfort: Comfortably (pun intended) the best sandals I have ever owned.Sizing: I am invariably a size 9 (EU 43) for all types of footwear and so that is the size I bought in this instance, despite some of the observations posted on other reviews to buy them one shoe size bigger than normal, and they fitted me perfectly.Price / Value for money: I bought these sandals in June 2014 from Amazon for £53. If the current price online is anywhere up around their normal RRP of £80 and you aren't in any particular hurry to buy them, then simply pop these items into your 'Save for Later' list on Amazon and wait for the price to drop, which it will. However, if you can't wait for that bargain to appear, then even at full RRP these sandals are decent value for the high quality and comfort they offer.Overall: These Keen NEWPORT H2 sandals are a genuine five start product that have prompted me to write this review, the first of any kind I have ever felt inclined to write in relation to a product I have purchased online. Whether for holidaying abroad in hot, sunny conditions, or for walking the beaches and coastal paths of the UK, or even for use on more testing terrain, I would highly recommend these sandals as an excellent choice for almost anyone.

My fourth pair of Keen Sandals and my third of this model. I wear them for about 10 months of the year. We have a motorhome and tour in Europe and the UK. I have these on all the time. They are so comfy and hard wearing, you don’t need any other shoe!They get wet, both salt and freshwater, they get muddy, dried out and I walk for miles over trails.They last around two years before the tread wears out. I’ve never had a strap snap or the sole come away. At no time has the colour in the material run and stained my feet.Size wise I take a 9.5/10 in "normal" shoes and the 10 in these is perfect.I’d never consider another make either. Neither should you!

They’re not exactly lightweight but that’s because they’ve good tough soles, comfortable out the box. My only gripe is the insole are supposed to be odour free/protection, but after wearing all day they STINK and need a proper wash! Good value, appearance and being by Keen they have a wide toe box with toe protection. Highly recommended. Only negative is they smell!!

Quick delivery and excellent comfortable fit.

My foot size for shoes is 10½. I originally purchased these at 11½, but way too large. Returned for 10½ and they are perfect. Felt a little tight in the toe area, but that only lasted a day. I can walk for miles in these shoes and plenty of air gets to the feet.The toe covering is perfect and really prevents any nasty toe stubs. The Vibrafoam soles are rock solid and will cope with most stoney and rocky terrain.Having been wearing these as my main footwear for the past three weeks, I can vouch for their comfort, durability and style. They are true to size, so just go with your normal shoes size. The quick pull laces are great for customising just how tight you want you sandals.Keen are now my "GoTo" brand for quality footwear. Highly recommended.PS: I had been walking for a month in the Highlands with a pair of Merrill boots, but the lack of ankle movement caused severe knee pain. Two weeks wearing the Keen sandals had help the knee problem correct itself.

I've had a pair of Keen sandals for over 10 years now and they are so comfy and well made. They have finally started to be too worn out so I'm got a new pair. I'd forgotten how great these were when I first wore them. Well worth the money.

My husband wore out his traditional leather sandals and we found these as they look similar to the style he loves. Once they arrived we realised that they were more than just your basic sandal. The toe room is great as he has a wider foot and he said they don't cramp his feet at all. He loves the toe protector too as he's always in the garden or allotment. He found it tricky to get his feet into them at first but they quickly softened up and he slips his feet in easily now. He loves the suede liner and says it's like wearing slippers all day. Will definitely be buying more Keen footwear in the future.
