Just ordered my second pair of Newports ever. I tried hard to wear out the first pair, which I've had now for over 8 years, but finally I gave up and bought some new ones. These things are indestructible. And very comfortable. Mine are like
slippers on my feet. I have literally worn them in every environment: desert, mountain, ocean, river, working in the back yard, riding bikes -- I use them for everything. For me, the wider toe box and the comfortable footbed are critical. I have bad feet, so I need the comfort. I highly recommend these to anyone considering a tough/comfortable
sandal.
