Keen Men's Newport Sandal

Men's Newport Sandal
March 16, 2012

I bought these shoes for my son and he absolutely loves them. They are comfortable and ready to wear the minute they come out of the box. No breaking in, no worries! My husband and I each also own a pair and they are hands down our "go to" shoes when we need to be protected and comfortable all day. They've gone fly-fishing, hiking, to the zoo, DisneyWorld....anywhere we know we'll be on our feet all day. And at the end of the day, your feet and legs are in great shape! p.s. They do great in the water and their traction is the best of any waterproof shoe we've puchased. Highly, highly recommend!

Excellent Sandals
February 29, 2012

I was so impressed with the first pair that I had bought that I ordered another pair of Keen Newports. While these sandals are rugged enough to protect your feet in any terrain, their appearance allows them to be worn for more formal dress occasions. For example, after a week spent walking through whatever the people and animals had left upon the streets of a Mexican city, a quick rinse allowed me to wear them with a dark suit at a semi-formal event. If I were to be allowed to take only one pair of shoes to travel indefinitely to anywhere, I would choose these.

Excellent All around

Whether you are heading on a hike or down to the beach these sandals are terrific. They are truly the 'utility' summer shoe. Comfortable fit and made very well - I'm on my second pair, got the leather ones this time and am suprised at how well it holds up.

Great for whole family, multipurpose
November 21, 2011

Everyone in our family has a pair of these and we wear them at the playground, for walks, easy hikes, etc. They are great for warm, rainy weather too. Love the protected toes. Now we have many other styles of Keens too.

Great, sturdy sandal
October 20, 2011

The "Fit Tip" on the description says it runs true to size, but I found a 10.5 fits me perfectly when my usual size is a 10. My feet are wide at the toes but the laces can be adjusted and there is no problem with the fit. I wore them frequently throughout the summer and they are durable and comfortable. I wish they were cheaper, but not sorry I bought them.

nice sandals!
October 19, 2011

was exactly what I wanted, the color is true to the photo and look good with jeens. They are very comfortable and the size is true. They are a bit expensive but are very well built and look set to last long

The only closed toe sandal I'll ever buy
September 27, 2011

These sandals are amazingly comfortable. I haven't been able to use sandals due to plantar fasciitis issues with my feet. (not sure if I spelled it right). I've been stuck with having to buy shoes which will work with my insoles. However, I've worn these every single day since I bought them last month. I don't need to wear my insoles with these sandals. They provide the perfect amount of support. I was so pleased with the keens that I purchased another pair. They are durable, very comfortable and as a bonus..they look great with jeans. I've seen reviews about them causing feet to smell bad. I have not had that issue at all. I'm waiting for a sale and I will purchase a third pair. Don't hesitate, buy a pair and you'll see why they're sold out most of the time.

Best Sandal on the Market
September 16, 2011

While I love Keen Newport Sandals, the one complaint I have, and it is not a huge complaint, is the lacing system they provide. The sandals last a long time, but the laces wear out, get stretched out, and generally fail to work well over time. And the only way I've figured out how to get replacements is to write to Keen and have them send me some. Then I have to figure out how to re-lace the sandals, which I still have yet to get it looking 100% correct. Other than that the sandals offer great protection and support to my feet. I wear them year round except when it snows. Overall I think they are the best - I just wish they had a more durable system for lacing them up.

A Definite Buy
September 12, 2011

This product is worth every penny. My husband loves them, they are very comfortable. True to size. and cover his toes. They look nice, so they can be worn in many situations. I will purchase more of this type.

Great sandal
August 22, 2011

my husband wore out his first pair after 3 years of constant use. He only wanted this sandal in this specific color. He had to break them in a bit, but now they are great!

Average shoe
August 10, 2011

Not as comfortable as advertised Tight fit in instep. I dont like the tight fit on the instep, they are a little stiff yet, maybe after a while they will will loosen up .

After reading all the other great reviews is decided to give them a try, I was looking for something that I could wear all summer that had more protection than a normal sandal. They are easy to get on and off and it's not necessary to tighten the bungee laces for that relaxed feel, then just tighten them up and run through the river bottom. Order half size larger than normal for optimal fit and snug comfort. Really great summer Shoe/Sandal. Try to get them on sale or just order something cheap on Altrec and they will send you a 20% off for your review and then buy the Sandals. In fact, they will eventually send you a 15% off your next purchase after every review...

Keen's are great shoes
August 03, 2011

Love these sandals that are water shoes, hiking shoes and can even be worn in winter with socks. They feel good. We buy Keens for all members of the family ... they last forever, so well made. And this is the best place to see the most styles.

Keen Rocks!
August 01, 2011

I ordered these for my husband. He loves his other Keen's and wanted a new pair. I'm returning them only to get a different color. He likes the Bison better. You will not be disappointed with Keen and with Altrec!!

These are my first pair of Keens and they will not be my last. They are very comfortable and keep my feet cool. This website had the best price by far!!

Can Never Go Wrong
July 16, 2011

This is the second pair of Keen Sandals I purchased. They are the best summer shoe going, great comfort! The best price you will find is right here! Don't look anywhere else!

Most Comfortable Hiking Sandals
July 12, 2011

The best thing about them is that they "disappear" on your feet.You just stop thinking about foot support or stability on uneven terrain.I wore these non-stop for almost 3 days but other than getting slightly sweaty feet on a 100 degree day, I have no complains about them.

Incredibly comfortable sandal
July 07, 2011

I purchased this Keen sandal based on the recommendation of a friend. I love the dark green color and I am impressed that, after wearing them yesterday all day walking around a major city, they do not have any scruff marks. I also cannot believe how comfortable they are - it like wearing slippers.

Nice shoes!!!
July 06, 2011

These shoes are super comfortable, but seem to run a little bit small. I had to return them for a half-size larger. Great Keen quality. The foot bed is soft & conforms nicely to my feet. Will definitely be my daily summer shoe!!

long time wearer
June 10, 2011

sandals are made in their usual quality. After a few weeks of breaking in will wear and last forever. Product availability a plus with all of the colors and models available.

Good looking support
May 27, 2011

I purchased these sandals for my husband who has worn Birkenstock sandals for the last 18 years. He was pleased with these lightweight supportive sandals that look way cooler than the Birk's. He also likes that they do not make his feet sweat. They were more narrow than his old sandals, but not uncomfortable. A great purchase.

Very nice
April 09, 2011

Worked out great for keeping cool in warmer tempitures and protecting my feet. They also have been very durable. I have used them camping, trips overseas and around town.

very nice
April 09, 2011

I love the Keens for pre-trainig and pre-race footwear. They are always easy on my feet before workouts and great to slip into after! These are my 10th pair and I wouldn't wear anything else. Highly recommended!

More than just a sandal
February 16, 2011

This is my second pair of Newport sandals. Found them on sale so I had to get them to replace my first pair. These are generally more expensive than many sandals, but worth it. I use these for beach, hiking trails, every day wear in the summer. Have taken them on vacation to Puerto Rico hiking in El Yunque Rainforest and exploring the beaches and reefs. I have had my first pair for 4 years and there is still plenty of life left in them. My eyes have been open to the joys of Keen.

LOVE these shoes
January 09, 2011

I bought these as a gift for my husband. I have a women's version and I LOVE them. The toe bumper offers great protection on hikes. I like to bring these when I backpack to change out of my hiking boots when I get to camp. It's nice to be able to air out my tootsies after a long day. I used to bring lighter weight flip flops but ditched those for these because my Keen sandals offer more protection and stability. It's worth carrying a little extra weight in my opinion. They look decent for everyday use too and are great for trips in warm climate where you do a lot of walking. My husband is looking forward to putting them to the test once the weather gets better in our area.

I will test this out in AU
December 29, 2010

I just got this shoes for a trip Australia. I will put them through some wet, hard and rocky environments. I will reply to my post with the fina verdict.

Great Sandal
December 23, 2010

This sandal is good looking, durable, and extremely comfortable. This is my second pair. I strongly recommend them for most anyone. It is great how the toes are protected yet in comfort. They are usable the whole year.

This is the second pair of Keen Newports I've bought. The first pair I used on my sailboat as boat deck shoes for the past 6 years, and now that I have purchased a new pair that will take their place on the boat, the older ones will be used for walking on shore. These shoes provide protection for the toes from stubbing and are incredibly secure on wet and dry decks. Cannot imagine a better moderate to warm temperature boat shoe than these. Will continue to buy them as long as Keen makes them and if I ever wear out the ones I have!

Most comfortable sandal

I purchased these for my Dad after he had admired my Keen sandals. Takes time to get used to the toe box. needed larger size than usual Very durable sandal.

Love the product! Found the Sandal out of season for a great price++ I even use them at the gym to mix-up my {running} strength training for skiing. The ease of getting into after lap-swim's makes struggling with socks over wet feet and tired arms a thing of the past.

Comfortable sandle
October 19, 2010

comfortable sandal for watersports - good protection, durable shoes, dry quickly

Good with a Few Limitations
October 19, 2010

Love these and almost all Keens for the bomber construction, funky cool looks, and wide toe box that - finally - means my toes are getting smashed laterally after a long, foot-swelling day of hiking or wading. The leather and rubber are super sturdy, almost impossible to destroy, and surprisingly supposrtive, comfortable and grippy for hiking. My only complaints are: (1) that the leather takes FOREVER to dry, which can lead to blisters or an awkward "slippery" feeling on wading days, and (2) the spacing between the leather panels is too tight - big enough to let a lot of debris in, but too small to easily let it back out (I know, it sounds like it defies physics but that's what seems to happen). I find myself frequently removing the sandals to clear out the trail crud that's being trapped like sandpaper between the leather panels and my skin. This is more than a minor complaint - it's inconvenient and can cause wickedly painful blisters - but it's not unique to the Keens. Any sandals generate this problem to some extent, but the design of these seems to exacerbate it. That being said, I still love them. Great, comfortable summer shoes. Just be patient with them on really cruddy, dusty, or wet hikes. But as daily wear gear, they're hard to beat.

Great shoe
October 13, 2010

This is an excellent shoe for light summer hiking and even some occasional river wading. I've had my pair for several months and love them more each day. The break-in period was several days, during which it rubbed one of my toes and the sole seemed to stick to my feet. Now they are cool, comfortable, very solid and durable, and have quickly become my favorite summer shoes. To me, they feel like very well ventilated light hiking shoes. The only con I've found is that little rocks can get inside, but because of the closed toe, they don't work their way back out again.

A rad alternative to
August 25, 2010

Let me start by asking, how often does footwear feel good out of the box? Rare, is usually the response. Totally not the case with these. Fit like the sandals I've been packing around for the last 6 years that are now trashed. So to test how well they would perform I decided to go on a small hike, my hike turned into a run\scrabble\hike. I ended up climbing 2000 feet and covered almost 5 miles of rocky logging roads to the summit of Crystal Mountain. the Keen's felt great the whole way, I could have been wearing my boots and had more trouble. I love them despite how they look.. I can not say as for long term use, but its been a month and they're still out performing my trail runners and any "sandal"

Comfortable right out of the box
August 23, 2010

As usual I received excellent service from Altrec on a very well made Keen product. I have nothing negative to say.

2nd pair
August 12, 2010

This is my second pair; I love them! The first pair I have purchased four years ago and still use them, but I needed something that was a little less "broken in" looking. These are no wing tips, but do very well for lawn seats at a local jazz concert. I would highly recommend them for anyone who does not already own a pair of these sandals. Order a half size larger as with all Keens they run a bit small.

Comfortable Sandle
August 12, 2010

Received the shipment in a reasonable amount of time. Was a little disappointed in this 3rd pair that I received. The sole of the sandle is not what I remember. I will order the Bison next time.

Absolute Comfort
August 11, 2010

My wife and son had a pair, so I had to get a pair. I cannot be happier with them. Not only are the comfortable, but they look good both on the beach or casually with jeans.

COMFORTABLE, STYLISH, EASY TO WEAR
August 09, 2010

Soft cushion insole, slip-on style, great color -goes with anything, flattens for easy packing, great look - you can't miss with Keen sandals.

Great shoe, terrible color
August 04, 2010

Bought this shoe for my husband twice once in charcoal and once in gargoyle, thinking they would be gray, NOT! The gray is a funky green color on both shoes and is nothing similar to picture on website. He loved the shoe & fit (it runs 1/2 size small) but, color not acceptable. Had to return both pairs. This will not deter us from another purchase, just not the years colors.
