This is my second pair of keen sandals. I like the comfort of the sandal. The toe area is wide and does not bind when wearing the sandal. Ease of putting on and taking off is a big plus. Very confortable to wear for long periods of time.

I wear something between an 8 1/2 and 9, typically an 8 1/2. The size 9 sandals fit well. The sandals are well made, easy to put on, and comfortable with very good cushioned sole and arch support. The lined leather feels very good against the skin. Only downside is that the durable construction makes them rather warm to wear, not as warm as shoes and socks, but warmer than typical sandals and other open footwear. I have not yet tried them out under water, but I suspect they're going serve well for that function.

I found them to be very comfortable. I did order them 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, and the fit is perfect.

This is my 4th pair of Keen shoes but my first sandals. The other shoes were their hiking boots. These sandals show great promise so far... very comfortable and have worn well. The uppers dry quickly and have not been stained or affected by salt water. A bit early to give them a great or bad review for durability, but I think they can be recommended. I got a 1/2 size larger than my regular shoes based on past experiences with Keen sizing and that turned out to be a good move. I would suggest that if there is any uncertainty on what to do... get a slightly larger size.

Had my Teva's for years and years. Wife made me buy some new sandals, so I got the Keens. I don't usually buy shoes before trying them on, but these fit great and are comfortable. Very good buy.

I knew my husband was not a fan of sandals, so I picked these as an alternative. He liked them and wore them around the house for a few minutes before deciding they were a half size too small. If I had only heeded the advice in the description, all would have been well. My fault. LLBean is cheerfully exchanging.

Indestructible Shoe/Sandal
Funny thing, the first member of my family to wear this shoe was my 3 year old son. Typically, he blows through sneakers within a month but he wore his Keen Newport Sandals until they no longer fit. Needless to say, he didn't put a dent in them. I was so impressed with the durability of the sandal, I bought my first pair and have been a satisfied customer ever since.
Thanks Keen & L.L.Bean!

These are sturdy sandals, I use them for light hiking or just around town. I like these a lot better than my previous pair of Keen Newport H2 - the H2 style are all rubber and synthetic, and for whatever reason they made my feet sweat like crazy. These do not have the same problem. They are comfortable and look nice (at least as nice as they could, should you decide on the sock and sandal look). I have only had them for a few months, but leather and rubber all seem to be high quality and durable. Two thumbs up.

THIS IS MY 2ND PAIR OF THESE SANDALS AS I WORE THE SOLE OUT ON THE PREVIOUS PAIR. I'M NOT SAYING THEY ARE NOT DURABLE. I AM SAYING THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE, VERSATILE AND I WEAR THEM ALMOST EVERY DAY. THEY DO RUN SLIGHTLY SMALL SO I WOULD GO 1/2 SIZE UP.

I took a pair of these, I had had several years, on an extensive trip to Europe. I left them in a hotel in Paris and could not wait to get home and order another pair just like the lost ones.

Purchased as a replacement for my original Keens - that's how much I like them. I purchased them again! Very comfortable and work so well for any activity I'm out doing.

Nice sandal shoes. Great to wear when you want to wear sandals, but protect your toes, like in crowds of people or on a light hike in the woods. They seem larger that many shoes of today. I used to buy size 12 medium, but in the past 5+ years I've had to go to a 13 wide. So I initially bought a size 13 in these and wore them. But after a while I noticed my pinkie toe would sometimes catch the side slit. So I bought a size 12 too. No more pinkie issues. So with these Keen Newports, I found the size 12 regular (they don't come in wide) is a better fit for me. And being totally weather proof is great...no worries with rain or even ocean salt water. They look clean and new without even rinsing. Just one thing, when wearing to the beach the fluffy sand gets in there and doesn't flop back out as it does with open toe sandals. I recently played badminton with them on. All I had to do was cinch up the laces (which is quick and easy) and I was good to go, kinda like wearing a pair of sneakers. I gave my size 13 pair to my best friend and he loves them and says they are comfortable for his large frame. (6'4 and 265 pounds.)

These were a big hit with my husband. He says they fit/feel great and he likes the added element of toe protection on these rugged sandals.

I am a first-time Keen-Wearer. My family was headed to the Southwest for ten days of hiking, walking in streams, and searching for interesting microbrews. We bought five (5!) pairs of Keens for me and four kids (ages 10-16). (My wife and oldest daughter thought they were too expensive.) Everybody loved their Keens! We had to re-order to dial in the sizes, but I can't say they were consistently too large or too small. It also took us awhile to get used to the ridge in the toe area, but now they feel perfect. If you walk sandy, dusty places, the sand and dust will definitely get between your foot and the sole. If you are walking in water, they work great. And they are perfect for tasting microbrews...although I may need to conduct additional product testing in that regard.

I have been shopping Zappos for several years and I would not buy shoes anywhere else. Great selection, good prices and unbelievable service. My order is at my door within a couple of days and returns are handled very professionally with a personal touch. Great job Zappos!

First off, make sure you order these at least 1 size larger! I'm a 9 1/2 and ordered 10s. They still feel a bit snug (that's why I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5 for comfort). Great sandals for anything active.

Great shoe. I had a pair of Newports for 4 years and I got rid of them because the show was not as comfortable (worn out sole). I went a year without a pair. I picked these up several weeks ago and my feet could not be happier. Having at least one pair of Keens in my footwear rotation is a must.

I got this Keen Sandal for my husband and he love it very much. He said it is very comfortable and good looking sandal. My husband found summer sandal that will last for at least 10 years!

Since the first Keens 6 years ago, our whole family has gotten them and has happily worn them thin. They are basically indestructible despite daily abuse. We are just starting now the replacement process, not because they would be broken in some way, but because have just started to look beaten up. And, as usual, my feedback about Zappos service is stellar!

Love these! Got the greenish ones and they are just a tad lighter in color than they look in the pics. Fit true to size, are perfectly comfortable out of the box and look to be good for years of use. My friend has a pair that I've envied for 3 years and he swears his are as good as new. I wanted something cool enough for Florida summer but with enough foot protection that I ride my motor scooter around town with safe toes. These go way beyond that for usefulness though--I wear them constantly!

Being a size 16, it's hard to find a shoe that fits without trying it on first - but these fit pretty well when they arrived. Not that much arch support (I have flat feet), but when you're in the water and sand at the beach, that's not my main concern. Good product, dries well, and fits snugly in the water without causing chafing. I like that the toes are covered. I would buy a pair again if needed.

I had given my pair of Keen Newport away while traveling in Sri Lanka. I was on my way out of the country and a friend of mine lost his (by two dogs chewing them to shreds) so I gave him mine. The long story short. Great traveling sandal...well the traveling sandal. Good for minor hikes and great for bumpy and hazardous sidewalks in far away cities.
