Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Leather Sandals

These are great, but you MUST order at least one size larger than your old pair. Sometime in 2014 or 2015 they shrunk. So, if you have a pair of US 13 broken in, minimum is now 14. Maybe even 15.

This is my second pair of these sandals. All day comfort, I love the design even though my wife thinks that they are ugly.

I have been wearing this same model for many years, except the years they were discontinued. The ones I am wearing now are only three months old, but I keep a new pair in the box for when they are needed. Very happy with Zappos service, never a problem.

I bought these for kayak fishing. Where I fish, you have no idea what you might have to step out and on top of, metal rods, sharp rocks, glass bottles, oyster shells. I needed shoes for getting in and out of all types of water regardless of what is underneath and a shoe that would stay on! Coming out of my kayak onto an angle of a large rock would have me slipping right out of a Croc. After three fishing trips now, these shoes provide a complete peace of mind. They are hardcore durable, very comfortable, and come on and off easy in my kayak. I did take the advice of many and ordered a half size larger and they fit, do it, I own other Keens for comparison, go the half size up! I did get a mean zebra-ish stripe sun burn, but that is not Keen's fault!

From other reviews I read I thought this shoe might be right for me. I have screwed up feet. I'm a big guy that worked hard and after years of doing so have lots of aches and pains. The left foot is larger than the right which makes me order up a size. The make of the shoe allows flexibility in movement, and there is ample room at the toes so they don't feel crunched. They are comfy and easy to walk around in. I like the leather look too. My left foot already feels better after just one day of wearing them. After I break them in a little more, maybe I'll buy a 2nd pair, just to make sure I have another pair in case they discontinue the model.

I bought these a half size larger than my husband's normal size and they fit him perfectly. My husband is so particular about shoes and I am extremely happy to finally have a pair that I do not have to return. Thanks for helping wives with particular husbands Zappos. After ruining a pair of Brooks Beast running shoes wearing them one day in heavy rains, I was determined to find a good shoe that he could wear, get wet, and not ruin. This is it. I am so glad that the search is over...

A lot of people recommended going half a size up; I took the advice and am glad that I did! I actually own a pair of Keen Voyagers size 11, but ordered these in an 11½. These fit absolutely perfect, way better than expected. I am afraid that an 11 would have been too small. I tried these on and bought them for the purpose of wearing without socks. So, even without the extra cushion of socks, going half a size up proved to be the right choice! As a second pair, I would say Keen makes it easy to stay loyal, I have just never owned shoes that were this tough and comfortable at the same time.

I purchased a pair of these seemingly indestructible Keen Newport Sandals back in July of 2005. I wore them everyday for three years straight. Pros: Comfort, Design, Durability, and Style which by the way, are all characteristic of a well made shoe. And these Keen Newport Athletic Sandals have lived beyond expectations. You can go from sand to ocean to the boardwalk/pier and let them air dry along the way all whilst still walking around in them on a hot summer day. Cons: Tiger Stripe-Esque tan line [if you consider this a con] other than that I regretfully admit that these Awesome Sandals are not Pit Bull proof. I have had the pleasure of owning/wearing these sandals on many an adventure, however; I purchased two Pit Bulls named Brick and Zila nine years later in 2014. My beloved Keen Newport [Chestnut colored Leather Sandals - the originals] were digested down to the rubber soles by my one year old pit bull named, Brick! My shoes are gone and both Brick and Zila have been re-located to Homes out in the Country with plenty of space. There is no telling how long my Keens may have lasted it. They have been through: Countless Road Trips, Scalding hot water, Salt water submersion, Volley Ball and Football Games and Fishing Trips. I will miss them. R.I.P.

This is my third pair. I still have my first and they are still worn. They are great quality and Zappos provided fast service.

What a deal, I sit at my computer select the shoes I want, click on add to my order then complete shipping information and lastly confirm payment click on order complete. That is it. The next day the shoes arrive, no driving, parking or lost time. This works for us for sure. Thanks, Zappos!

Great shoe for all occasions. Very comfortable. I would suggest ordering a 1/2 size larger than you wear.

Got this for my dad. He has Alzheimer's and gets overheated in warm weather. These are easy to put on, and very stable.

Second pair, awesome neutral gray tone. I had the brown ones for 5 years and they were just starting to look worn. This color matches with more clothing. Walked for hours in them while traveling, great support, remained comfortable throughout.

My husband LOVES these shoes, they give great back support and he can walk all day in them, very comfortable. His 1st pair of keens lasted 7 years and he could still use them but I made him throw them away lol, the 2nd pair of keens he has had for 5 years and now uses them for messy jobs like painting cars etc. I just got him 2 more pair so he can switch between them so one can air out while warring the other. They are so so well made my husband wares them 10 hours a day spring, summer and fall. Can't say enough about then. P.s He wares a 12 in shoes and they fit perfect. Also no back problems for 7 years since warring Keens. A must have for a hard working man.

We live near the beach in SC in the winter and near MI woods in the summer. Just got back from hiking in UT. We also like to walk extensively in Europe while on vacation. Newports work well in all these situations. I have wide feet and a high arch and these shoes work well for me, wet or dry. Try a pair, you won't regret it. Some of the best shoes ever made.

Arrived very quickly! They look great, good quality, seem very sturdy and like they will hold up to water. I need shoes that provide a good arch support and surprisingly these sandals did. I like the fact that they protect the toes, which is a concern of mine, plus they are designed to be exposed to water. As I have never owned a pair of sandals like this or from manufacturer, I am looking forward to see how they wear in the long run. If this system allows I will follow up in time. For now they feel great wearing them around at home to test them out before committing.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair, actually third if you count the ones with the almost workout sole a friend loaned me (he had a new pair). I love the extra width and toe room that all Keens provide. They are great for knocking around, or moderate hiking.

If you need support in your sandals, these are the ones for you. I have some real foot problems - had bunion surgery on the left one and have a pinched nerve on the right, so I could only wear a typical flat sandal for about 100 steps before my feet started to hurt. These Keens give me all the support I need and comfort that I want. The only downside to them is that they are much less open than a traditional sandal, so not as cool when the weather is hot. Nevertheless, I will take the tradeoff.
