KEEN Men's Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandal

These sandals protect your feet pretty well, around the house and on trails. They are not as good in that respect of course as solid hiking shoes, but they are an alternative, especially for summer. I will say no more on that, other than after wearing them now for 3 or 4 months I have really grown fond of them, and I am particular about my shoes. Open toe sandals are comfortable, but banging your toes is not, nor is hurting yourself because you wore an unstable shoe.Regarding sizing, my foot is a 12, a pretty standard foot I would say. My foot measures 11 1/4 inches, exactly at the standard size 12 length. I have several pair of these sandals now, both in size 12 and 13. Both sizes work fine for me. I actually think I prefer the 12's, they are a bit more solid on my foot. I expect to wear the 13's more often when it is cold with socks, to give me a little more space. But I can wear the 12's with socks just fine.I have not trouble putting the 12's on or taking them off, just push your foot all the way in and the heel strap will slide on easily. They stretch out after you have worn them awhile, I can't tell much difference between wearing a 13 and a 12. In fact to test myself I put on a pair not knowing the size (I have the same color in both sizes). I guessed that I was wearing the 13 and I was incorrect, I was wearing the 12. I have also walked around with a 12 on one foot and a 13 on the other. I found no major difference between the two feet.I also have the leather version in size 12, they seem just a little bigger than the polyester but not enough to matter much.In summary, at least for me, the issue people have about sizing is very overblown. I would get a 12 1/2 if it existed, but I have often felt that way with other shoes. For me it is either a 12 or 13, and generally I prefer the 12. I have enough toe room in the size 12 of these sandals, they fit fine, around the house, walking trails with my dogs, and of course in the water. They really do dry out fast, If they get wet I just let them dry and put on a different pair.5/5/23....I still feel the same after wearing these pretty much constantly for a few months. You may think that there is not enough toe room because you may feel some sensation at the toe at times. My bigger sized 13's have that same sensation, that is just due to the rubber caps at the toe. I feel no pressure on my toes walking down steep hills, that is the acid test for toe room. I definitely prefer the 12's to the 13's. They stretch out and the 13's can feel just a bit loose. But the 13's are fine, I can wear either with no complaints.6/26/23...Still feel the same, I have a pretty standard size 12 foot, size 12 in this shoe works well for me. I have size 13 as well but will use those with socks when it is cold, I like the better stability of the size 12. I really love these shoes. I put on an open toe sandal yesterday for the first time in awhile, yeah more comfortable, but banged my exposed foot twice, and that hurts. I am sold on the closed toe. You have to take the shoe off when you get little pebbles or something inside the shoe, but they slide off and on easily. Great in the water, I have never had pain from banding my foot walking the trails with my dogs since I started wearing them, and they really have good support. Dry quickly after being in the lake.

I'm getting ready to head to the tropics next month so I spent considerable time researching water shoes. Keen seemed to be make it to the top 3 in most online reviews. But looking for a more cost effective alternative I looked at other options. I also wanting a shoe that gave me adequate arch support. When I looked at the reviews in Amazon Camel Crown and Atika brands both looked promising. My shoe size is 12.5 and Camel Crown was the only one that had that option thus I though it was going to be the front runner. When the Camel Crown came in it was a little large for me and the arch support I was looking for just wasn't there. The Atika came with an adjustable back strap so that I could customize the fit and it was the clear winner over the Camel Crown. When my Keen Newport's came in I was concerned that it didn't have an adjustable back strap. When I put them on the size 12 fit perfectly and I liked not having to worry about adjusting a back strap. They also appeared to be little more durable then the Atika's and the shoe lace was much thicker (Without testing them in the elements durability is only a visual theory) The biggest selling point was the overall feel on my feet. The Arch support was more pronounced on the Keens which is what I prefer. When I looked at the Keen Newport vs the SOLR one of the notes on the review was that the Newport did provide better Arch Support. I never tested the SOLR so can't verify that but the Newport's are great and I couldn't be happier with the overall fit. I have yet to fully test them on my tropical adventure but thus far they feel great and I find myself wearing them all the time.

I have not had a chance to wear these extensively other than trying them on, walking around the house and inspecting the quality. I will base my review on initial Fit, Comfort, Quality and Appearance. First, let me say I purchased these for fishing/wading rivers and the hiking that might be involved with those endeavors. The purpose of my review is to mainly assist those in trying to select the right size.Fit: 5/5 - I normally wear a 10/10.5 shoe wearing normal, medium thickness socks, depending on the brand of shoe. II plan to use these only without socks, so I purchased a size 10.5 based on the reviews. They were snug to put on, but comfortable once on. This is exactly the fit I was looking for. I have a wide foot and it was plenty wide for me. There was enough room in the toe cap for my toes. Just be sure to loosen up the bungee strap to assist when putting them on.Comfort: 4.5/5 - The comfort seems very good. The sole has arch support but also seems flexible enough to deal with various terrain. I subtracted .5 because it might have been better to have an adjustable heel strap for personalizing the fit better as the shoe breaks in. Time will tell. Perhaps it isn't necessary.Quality: 4.5/5 - After my initial visual inspection and walk around, I feel these are well made and will last. Subtracting .5 because I did see some minor fabric fraying on the straps. Once again, only time will tell.Appearance: 5/5 - Sporty and attractive IMHO. Can serve multiple purposes.

Thanks for amazone to have it and keen for making itComfortable,durable, and beautiful as always and this color looks great 🤩👍👍

Testé avec une balade de deux heures tranquille. Bien meilleure amortissent que ma paire de sandales de trekking précédente.

I think they are well made and will last quite well. I bought these to replace my original pair that I had for about 8 years. I still feel the original pair were of a higher quality of materials. Not as much plastic and real leather webbing. Still no real complaints about these.

Hatte diese Sandalen als "Backup" mit auf 3 Caminos. Angenehm zu tragen, gerade für etwas breitere Füße. Die Schnürung leiert nicht aus und hält die Sandale sicher am Fuß. Das Profil ist auch für mittleres Gelände- Schlamm oder Geröll- gut geeignet. Die Sandale trocknet schnell und die Riemen riechen nicht. Kann sowohl mit Socken (furchtbar aber manchmal notwendig) als auch barfuß getragen werden. Druck- oder Scheuer- Stellen hatte ich keine.Werde wieder ein Keen Model kaufen, wenn diese ihren Geist aufgeben.

Chaussures très confortables et légèresNe pas hésiter à prendre une demi pointure au dessusAssez cher, mais de très bonne facture

Una maravilla. Es muy cómoda de poner y quitar y de ajustar. La zapatilla se ajusta perfectamente al pie, no baila dentro. Utilizado tanto para caminar dentro de río como para hacer rutas de montaña (de hasta 30 km por el momento). Talla como tu calzado habitual, quizá una gotita más larga. Seca muy rápido, en unos pocos minutos en un día soleado (la parte de la goma es prácticamente instantáneo). Por ponerle una pega, aunque no sé si es del todo correcto (porque tengo los pies planos), en mi caso personal después de usar durante varias horas de caminata por el monte por varios días consecutivos, empiezo a notar molestias en el lateral exterior del pie, junto al dedo meñique.
