KEENMen's Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandal

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I saw a review about these sandals online and thought why not give them a try. I'm not a sandal wearer, I always wear sneakers or hiking shoes. I've never been able to find a sandal that I liked. I've tried all different brands of sandals and never found one that was comfortable. So when I saw the online review of these "ugly" sandals, I thought why not. They cover the toes, which is a reason I normally don't like sandals, and I found a pair that was on sale, so I ordered them.When they came I immediately put them on. I'm also not a barefoot shoe/sandal wearer, so I tried them with socks. They are sooooo comfortable. The first day I was like these are ok comfy, my front toe hurt a little but otherwise they were fine. The next morning when I put them on they fit like a glove. I am so happy with them and have been wearing them all day everyday. I walk my dogs 3 times everyday, and have been wearing these. They are so comfy!!! I'm not sure they are "ugly", I don't mind the way they look, and I wear them with socks, which is a very "dad" vibe. As someone who has never found a sandal they could wear, I love love love these sandals. I bought them on sale and will be buying a few more pairs in different colors because I see myself wearing them in the spring, summer and fall.

After having these two weeks, I can say they are very comfortable and a good fit for me. I’ve hardly worn anything else since I bought them. I do have narrow feet. Even when they were brand new, I put them on and kind of forgot about them. They never gave me any discomfort or made my back or feet hurt or anything. I’m not much of a hiker, but I have worn them to the beach. Yes they get sand in them, so what? The price has come down around 25% since I bought them and I’m thinking about getting another pair even though I really don’t need to, just because I like them so much.! Just a note about the ugliness factor: they are ugly. But when they’re on your feet, they’re not so bad. I don’t care that much anyway, but looking at them online I was like boy these things are atrocious.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Newport H2 , 9.5 sandal/metallic grey and black. Fit is perfect true to size, and if you have a slightly broader foot print this is it! Well structured, solid platform AND ridiculously comfortable straight out the box!!! I wear it to go walking on uneven steep gravel pathways and about the house. Have yet to hit the ocean or river, but for seeing no issues! I love the big toe protection rubber facing area, in no-way does it impinge your toes. Just simply , its a well made, sturdy comfortable sandal, a well thought out and attractive made sandal! There is no swoshy movement ! Well worth the expense! Don’t go for the cheap prices, spend your money on something that will last! Keen stands up to its reputation one more time with me! Highly recommend!

I've used these as river shoes for the last decade. I'm on my third pair. They are excellent for walking in and around rivers. The only negative is that they will rub up certain areas on my feet till the shoes and the feet "break in". This could be mitigated by wearing socks, but socks in a river creates other issues. Overall excellent river shoes -- just wish they weren't so bloody (literally) painful for the first few days.

I absolutely LOVE the colors in these!! I do a lot of kayaking, so these are going to see a lot of water, but I also think they’re going to be my new everyday summer sandal.First try on, they fit great. Just a tad bit stiff/tight around the ankle, but I’m sure that’ll loosen up with time. Other than that, they’re perfect. Not too heavy, but still with a rugged sole and lots of protection for your foot.Arch support is amazing, the way it just cradles my feet. I think I’m definitely going to get my money’s worth out of these, in and out of the water.

These are great and exactly as advertised. The arch support is perfect. The Wide Box is real comfy. The materials and design are top shelf. Sadly, I had to return them though - I have a high instep and these sandals were too tight around the instep. No amount of loosening the cord helped - the material was constructed to go over the instep too tightly for me and it caused discomfort. Too bad because I liked everything else about them. If you are on the fence, give them a try, but beware that a high instep could be an issue. Given time, the material may have relaxed, but for this price, I didn't want to take that gamble. Hope this helped you understand the product a little better.

These sandals fit perfectly and have been my go-to footwear while traveling in Southeast Asia. They’re incredibly comfortable, even after long days of walking, and they handle wet conditions really well.What I appreciate most is the closed-toe design - it gives me extra protection without sacrificing breathability or comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable travel sandal that can handle a bit of everything.

I have worn these sandals swimming in an underground river, hiking in a jungle, flats fishing, bike riding, and for pretty much everything I do. They are as comfortable and protective as a hiking shoe. They dry quickly after wading/swimming. They do not seem to allow pebbles into the foot bed. I wore them constantly for 7 months before I had to throw them in the washing machine. Perfect spring/summer sandal.
