I bought these shoes for my Fiance, and he likes them. They\'re like a cross between all of the good points of a tennis shoe and a sandal. We\'d buy them again.

My wife and I are retired and take road trips. Saw some friends wearing Keens. Went to Zappos (where else?) and found these Newports. Just finished a 9 day road trip and I must say I love these "sandals". Easy on, easy off and comfortable. The fit was what I ordered and needed.

My husband and I both own these all-terrain sandals. Not only do they dry quickly when wet, but they don't give you blisters when drying. I bought these for my dad, since he owns a boat and goes to the lake every weekend possible. Not only can he swim to the shore in them, but he can hike once on the mountains and he doesn't have to worry about blisters or stubbing his big toe. These are a tremendous pair of sandals, I've even kept the first pair I bought five years ago and they are still going strong! Keen products are also a little wider in the toe box area which is nice while you're hiking, swimming, or just plain have wide feet. These get the Milne vote in RI, and the Weir vote in AZ. Thanks, Keen for such a wonderful product!

This is the best pair of shoes I have had in a long time. They are very comfortable, and very versatile. I use them for everything and I have not had any problems with them. I also love the covered toe portion, keeps from jamming my toes. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a shoe that is breathable but solid enough to protect your feet. You will not regret it.

These sandals took a few days to break in for me. There was some pressure against the upper front of my feet that had me worried at first, but the shoes stretched out a bit and ever since then, pure bliss. I highly recommend these shoes. I have worn a lot of shoes and sandals known for their comfort and quality in the past -- Ecco, Mephisto, etc. -- and these sandals, for their purpose, are on a par with those. The only minor complaints I have is that they do seem a bit heavy, and they are slow to dry when they get wet. But I am happy with them and will buy them again.

Great shoe, fit, comfort and construction is awesome. Just got back from Sequoia National Park over the Labor Day; there I used the shoe to do all kind of hiking. Dry, wet, slippery, up hill and down hill terrain, in caves and the shoe performed extremely well. Wear a size 7.5, ordered an 8.0 shoe and the fit was perfect. As usual Zappos service was excellent. Will I buy this shoe again? Definitely.

This is the best sandal in the Keen line for men. It is more stylish than the Newport H2, and slightly more comfortable due to the leather insole and straps. (However, the Newport H2 is better for wet conditions.)\r\n\r\nThis is a great product, and you will not be disappointed.

My son has big feet! Size 14. I have been waring Newports all summer and love them. I looked up Keen shoes on the internet and found Zappos. I love that I don't have to go shopping at the mall. We live in the middle of nowhere and would order again with Zappos any time.

Reviewer: Callaway from Midwest
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
This was my 3rd pair of Keen sandals so I could be construed as a fan, my second pair of the Newports and a pair of H2s. I prefer the leather Newports as they seem to give your feet a little more protection and fit more comfortably than my H2 models. I've used them for just about everything you can imagine. Other than athletic activities these have pretty much replaced my running shoes as daily spring, summer, and early fall footwear. Keen is just the best. I've recently bought a pair of their Summit County boots for winter and a pair of their Oregon hiking boots for a hike I have coming up in late fall. Great quality, great comfort, I do tend to order them a size larger as that's what works for me. If you're on the fence, pay the extra and get the best. You certainly won't regret it for a minute with any Keen product.

I had high hopes for these Keen Newport and Newport II sandals. For the price, they are not the greatest value. Sure, they are generally comfortable, but after a couple of hours on my feet they develop "hot spots." You can probably do just as well with a less expensive brand. Great service from Zappos, though.

They stink but I love 'em! First pair I returned because the size was 1/2 too small. I ordered up and now they fit perfect. Great for the hot sweaty city streets. Only thing that stinks is that they hold on to foot odor. Not sure why? My last pair did the same thing.

Reviewer: Michael D from TX
Overall: (1 Stars) Comfort: (1 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
This is the worst shoe I have ever purchased. Yes, I purchased the correct size. They fit, but seemed a little bit harsh out of the box. "Oh well," thought I, "I'm certain they're wonderful after a slight break in period." I bravely donned my new shoes and walked a couple of miles; 4 blisters on one foot, 3 on the other. These shoes felt like wires cutting flesh after long enough. If I loosened them ridiculously to alleviate the "cutting" sensation, they slipped around and gave me burning hot spots. I eventually made the choice to remove the shoes and gingerly pick my path back along broken sidewalks and littered streets barefoot. Keen also says these are for water. I shudder to imagine the damage done had I actually walked through water and then let these shoes tear into me. That may have actually landed me at a clinic. Why do so many people rave about this shoe? These ruined two days of a vacation; the day I wore them and a day to heal from wearing them. 5 stars for style though; at least they look good. Form before function in this case, I suppose. I'll be returning these. Breaking in new combat boots is infinitely preferable to walking in these shoes.

This pair is the third pair of the Keen Newport sandals (in the color Bison) that I have bought. I love them. I wear them all the time in the summer. They are comfortable for street wear, they have good support, and they have a toe cap. I think they look good as well. Who could ask for anything more?

We are new to Zappos and happy with our purchase. The size is perfect and happy to find the great selections in size 14! We will order again when the need arises. The service was very fast, just 3 days. The Keen shoes were very comfortable for 2 weeks, but my little toe on the right foot started to swell when wearing them lately. I hope I can remedy this because I like the shoe. Thank you, Zappos.

Love these shoes. They feel great, are easy to get on and off and the toe cover really keeps your toes protected, unlike other sandals. They are waterproof, but do take about a day to dry out. The only problem I've had is that they get stinky if I don't wear socks with them. I'm not sure I've had shoes that didn't do that, so I don't hold that against them. Work great for sailing!

Super Comfortable! Got these for my hubby for our trip to Hawaii. They were comfortable right out of the box and held up well hiking, climbing, biking, and even snorkeling. Only complaint is that the traction isn't all there, could be better, especially on wet surfaces.

This is my second pair of these sandals. They are simply the best I\'ve ever worn. The quality and fit are unrivaled and they look great. \r\n\r\nWith all the different brands and styles of sandals that one could buy, I wouldn\'t have bought a second pair if they weren\'t great.\r\n

My husband really likes these sandals. The leather is high quality. The width is good and they have great support for a sandal. The only downside is his pinkie toe gets caught between the straps. I also love the way they look on him.

Great shoes - I wear them all the time now. Immediately comfortable and great traction and ventilation. The shaping of area around front toes is better than any other shoe I own, not slightly cramping and yet not loose; particularly important in hilly areas. The size was accurate. Zappos process was excellent, too. I ordered two different styles and sent back one with no hassles; great for shopping from home.
