KEEN Men’s, Newport Sandal

I will state right here, that this is all based off of first impressions, since I haven't had an opportunity to exhaustingly test these out. I ordered a size 9 1/2, because when I went to a conversion site online, it said a European 43 is equivalent to a 9, and I heard these tend to run small, so I went up a 1/2 size. Since I have 3 pairs of Vibram 5-Fingers, all in 43, that fit snug, I figured that 9 1/2 would be fine. Well, let me tell you, they were quite tight. I promptly contacted the seller and informed them I would be making a return and had size 10 replacements in the mail within a few days- I got my replacements before they got their returned pair back. So, the moral of the story is, order at least 1 size greater than your estimated shoe size, if you are converting from European sizing, and that their customer service is excellent and speedy. They even reimbursed $6 of my return fee. So, on to the shoes. The new ones are great. The pictures give you an idea, but these things look and feel incredibly sturdy. I bought some mandals in Israel, that had Vibram bottoms and looked very rugged, but they started coming apart sooner than I would have anticipated (and, to add injury to insult, they were more expensive than these!). I feel these won't suffer that fate. The bottoms are incredibly thick, and everything looks really well put together. I read some reviews where people claimed to have had theirs in good working condition for years, and I am inclined to believe them. The leather is thick and high quality looking, not the cheap stuff you often seen on boots or sandals. Not using loop-holes or buckles probably also helps to keep these going. They provide good support;, and properly snug. The toe is no joke, where I feel you could actually kick rocks and not be the worse for wear. Plus, you don't have to worry about those places that won't let you in because you have open-toed shoes, which is always nice. Oh, and these definitely look good. Obviously not good, but fashionably interesting. The negatives? Well, I anticipate that foot sweating will be high, since you dont have as much ability for your feet to breath in these as normal sandals and they ARE quite snug. I wish there was a bit more ability to adjust things, like the heel strap, for instance. I am not having a fitting problem, but I think it would be nice to have that option, and I can imagine some people might not be satisfied with how they are adjusted (using the elastic cord thingy, which allows you to make specific sections along the top and sides of the foot more or less tight). So, I bought these for some trekking in S. America. I plan on spending 6 months down there, hiking all over the place, so I'll update this when I get back, or possibly a little sooner, depending. * Update * After using these almost exclusively during my 6 months in South America, they are still going strong. Lost a bit of tread, but certainly not even close to bald. Fortunately, they never developed the "stinky feet" smell, which is a big plus. I ran in them and hiked in them, and walked countless hours in them, and never had a problem. Quite comfortable and practical. They are sufficiently attractive looking that I could wear them when going out, and while they probably didn't look great, they were passable- never got told I couldn't enter a club with them on (though, admittedly, there is more leeway given to gringoes in general). Had lots of people compliment me on them, because they liked the design. Never got a stubbed toe, which is pretty awesome. I can say, they literally have zero problems- the quality is quite good. Very happy with my decision to purchase these, and highly recommend them.

I received my order last week and have been wearing them as my primary footwear since receiving them. They fit extremely well and they are very comfortable. They are lightweight and flexible yet solid in the sole to navigate through rough terrain. I typically get 9.5 W shoe but I went with a normal 9.5 size. Glad I did! They fit and feel amazing! Great for my walks and while at work. Plenty of room for my toes! The only thing i sometimes struggle with is getting the heal strap on. I have extremely high arches so the heal strap don't easily slip on and the extremely small finger pulls on the back strap make it hard to get my finger in so I have difficulty pulling the heal strap back. It’s a slight hindrance now but i think this will pass as the sandals stretch a bit. Overall i am very happy with my purchase and i am looking to get another pair of a different color soon!

I hate to admit it, but I'm becoming more and more like my dad. He has several pairs of Keens (buys a pair about every 2 years) and thinks they are the greatest. I bought these when I noticed they were selling for an unusually low price ($80). I didn't buy them because I wanted them... I bought them because my dad loves them so much I figured I would too, although I definitely did not want to! Well... They're the greatest thing ever lol. I wear them literally every single day. Review and useful information: I wear these everyday as slip ons. No socks and I walk on the heal, but they're still comfortable and let my feet breathe. The part in contact with the sole gets sweaty, but at least it's leather so you get used to it. Because of the design, walking on the heal hasn't damaged them at all. When I go to the store or take a walk I tend to throw on some black cotton socks and honestly they breathe better than this way and tend to be less clamy. The grip these things have is incredible. I walk on trails and around the steep banks of water almost daily and these have much better grip than most shoes, and that's while I'm still walking on the heal! When I put my foot properly within the shoes I can walk anywhere including up the steeply inclined dam wall that EVERYONE slips on. I really can't say enough about how impressed I am with these. I guess dad was right lol. On the downside, these are sized terribly. I have somewhat wide feet and usually wear size 11 in shoes. Sometimes even 10.5 fit me, but I had to get these in 12 and return the first ones I bought. That said, these now fit me perfectly, so I think that means they are narrow for the average 12, because I fit these in width and length. Supposedly these are waterproof, but they are made with genuine leather and of course water goes right through the gaping holes, so I have no idea what they mean by that. There is no such thing as "waterproof" leather. When these are old and I have a second pair I'll feel more comfortable using these in the reservoir and creek walking, but for now I only do that with them occasionally. I tried buying a couple pairs of knockoff keens on Amazon for water use, but they all were terrible, so I returned them. I wash them every couple months in the washing machine. I use Ivory brand mild soap and put them in the wash by themselves so the agitator can toss them around but not abuse them. I oil the leather when they are dry and this has worked well for me so far. Like I said earlier, my dad tends to get a pair of Keens every 2 years and currently has 3 pairs. He uses the older ones for dirtier jobs so to speak. Only his newest ones are this particular leather model. He has had one pair that completely separated from the sole in only about a year and he never uses his in water or washes them at all. Apparently in at least some models they have used bad glue, which is why I am most afraid to use these in water until they are my secondary pair. These are literally the best day to day shoes I've ever had and the best water shoes as well. I guess they are called sandals, but they are actually just well ventilated shoes.

I’m typically not a sandal guy, but these are very comfortable and protect your feet against the many dangers lurking along the trails I walk/hike almost daily at Point Beach State Forest. They look better in person and don’t make my feet look huge on the end of my long skinny SpongeBob legs. They fit true to size if you have medium or slightly wide feet. They are heavier than $4 flip flops so don’t expect them to be feather light , but they aren’t cumbersome. They are well made and have been durable so far. I’d definitely buy them again when needed.

I wear size 13. For the price, I was disappointed at how difficult it was to put my foot in there. I couldn't do it because the heel strap was too tight. I made a risky decision to cut it out completely to make them wearable. I put photos of how they look after. Now they're ok. They slip on and off easily and even ran around a little to be sure they don't just fly off while walking/ running around. I'll need to test in the water next. Giving 4 stars because it was truly difficult to put them on with the heel strap. They're otherwise comfortable and look great. I'll be sewing were I cut it so it doesn't fall apart.

This is my second pair of Keens and I like them very good kick around shoe only thing is order a size larger. I order 11 not even close to fitting sent them back. Got a size 12 fits just right.

Extremely comfortable and ergonomic. The toe box has sufficient room that my toes aren’t jammed. Heel and midfoot adjust well so my foot doesn’t slide around and blister.I’ve had them for a month now and I feel so good walking around in them .

My daughter hates them. My wife accepts them. I think they are they greatest footwear I have owned. I can say the same about other Keen products but these are different. They fit just right. Work correctly for no occasions but provide comfort and convenience. Personally will wear these just about anywhere I can get away with it. Ill wear them in a mosh pit. Ill wear them on a hike. Ill wear them to my daughters softball game. If I could get away with it I would wear them to work but that won't work. Anywhere I can get away with it, I do.

三足目購入 革のブラック 二足目は 革のバイソン(ブラウン) 五年経過して多少下手ってきた？ので追加しました。サイズは二足目と同じ26,5 二足目の時に最初は少しフィットし過ぎ、キツメかなと思ってたけどどんどん馴染んで柔らかく、伸びるので問題なし。 久々に新品履くとゆったりサンダルではなく、いざとなれば登山でも問題なしのフィーリング。 二足目もコードを締めればしっかり感は健在です。 最初はナイロンタイプを選んだので歩き方が悪いのかくるぶしが擦れて破れた。そういう事あり私には革の方が良いみたい。 ニューポート二足目です。 会社の上履きに他社の安いニューポート似のヤツを購入するも、コストなりなので悪くはありませんが満足感がないというか。 足のサイズは実測25,2センチ、ワイズEE スタンスミス、カントリー、大概の靴は26,5を選択します ランニング用はピッタリフィット26センチ 注 最初はキツメ 用途、好み次第ですがフィッティングが難しいと思います 三年前に27センチを購入、最初は靴下を履いてピッタリでしたが伸びたのか今は少しゆったり目。素足でも紐を締めれば固定されるのでデカいとまでは行かないが遊びがある。カカトが１センチ以下で余る感じです。 今回は27と26,5センチを比較して26,5を購入。 27は素足でジャスト、包み込む様な感じ。26,5は最初は幅がちょっとキツメでしたが三日間で馴染み素足でピッタリ、吸い付く様なフィッティングで足の一部になった感じ。薄い靴下も大丈夫。 最初気持ちキツメでも馴染むと良くなるので、Oneサイズ大きめが良いのか悩ましい 試着状態なら27が最高だが馴染む事で印象がかわるかも ちなみに三年前と今年の27センチで比較すると今年のは少しサイズが短くなったような？

Calidad de siempre, con la terminacion en piel la veo mas de uso diario sin dar el cante de excursionista. Me parece muy bonita y comodas como siempre
