Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Leather Sandals

: ) I'm obsessed with my Keens so I bought my husband a pair for when he comes home from Kuwait. I hope he likes them! I know our daughter does!

Super Comfy - Not the greatest lookers, IMHO, but unsurpassed comfort and function. Too bad my wife won't let me wear them with socks in the winter.

Comfortable 3 season shoe - After everyone in my family already had them I finally took the plunge - why did I wait so long?! Stable, light and super-comfortable. Got pairs for the boys and they're perfect too. First test was a cool Feb. stay in CA including a soggy 1/2 day at the beach w/ excellent results! Easy on/off in airport (especially for kids) as well. Plus, you don't look like a goofy euro-tourist (yes, Svenson) when wearing socks so they definitely have 3-season utility Mind you, I wear a 12/12.5 and had to get a 13. These shoes also look like they'd be wide but fit just right, so if you have a wide foot beware. Had to upsize for the little guys as well but due to the light weight they didn't cause any big trip-ups. Word to the wise- now that I got them they'll probably be discontinued within the year, so stock up. I will.

A winner - My second pair. They work great for around the yard or at the beach. I also use them when rowing a personal pontoon boat and they are durable. Great protection that far exceeds a typical sandal.

There is nothing better! I have three pairs and everyone in family is outfitted with a pair of Keen's. Comfort and style!

Great beach shoes - I'm wearing these shoes right now on my honeymoon. They aren't the greatest looking shoes, but they are comfortable, especially after you get used to the wearing around your ankles. I hate, HATE flip-flops, so these are a good waterproof option for those like me. Plus they are closed toes and so you can wear them horseback riding on the beach!

comfortable. one word: comfortable

For what they are I give them top marks. I bought these a few months ago and like them very much. Much better than flip-flops for hiking and camping. I think they look a little funny, but I think it's just because of the 'closed-toe-open-heel' deal. No blisters and they actually have some arch support. I am very pleased.

Great Shoe - One of the most comfortable and versatile shoes I have ever owned. They also arrived the very next day after I placed my order!

Great sandals - I had been wanting a pair of these for a long time. I tried the size 11(all my local store had) and it was too big, so I went with the 10.5 even though many places recommend a half size larger then the shoe size you normally wear (maybe so you can wear socks?) but the 10.5 fits great. Once I put them on, I did not want to take them off. The only problem is, I think my feet get hot due to a lack of ventilation at the toes. I would possibly recommend some ventilation in the bulky toe protection.

Keen Newport - Bought these based on reviews by others and it was definitely a good move. I have a wide (EEE) foot and these fit great right out of the box. The elastic closure system should adjust for almost anyone I would think. Not the cheapest sandal in the world but excellent quality.

Best Shoes -- Best Store - My husband LOVES these shoes. They're comfortable, rugged and they allow is feet "air out" as he calls it. Zappos is GREAT. The prices were great and we received them at no additional cost the very next day. You can't beat that! We love Zappos!

Fantastic - I have purchased my third pair of Keen shoes. Not only are they stylish, but comfortable. The arch support allows less strain. My shoe size is AAA, and usually impossible to fit, not so with Keen. An 8 fits nice.

Hit the ground walking... I bought these shoes for my husband for a recent trip where we would be walking a lot - he took them and wore them the whole trip. After miles and miles of walking they were still extremely comfortable!

Worth the price - I bought this sandal for my husband who is very picky and hard to fit. He loves them! They were comfortable immediately, no break-in required. He really likes the toe coverage, but they are still open & airy for hot weather. I did read other reviews before ordering & went a half size larger than his usual size which was a perfect fit.

Very Nice Sandal - This shoe is everything I had hoped. Very comfy right out of the box. Only thing I did notice, is that it’s a bit on the heavy side, but probably because it’s such a well built shoe.

One Problem... ...I cannot seem to wear any other shoes now, which might cause me to lose my job (since they expect at least business casual)! These are excellent shoes-- my first from Keen. Now, it's seriously going to change the way I shop for future shoes.

Great sport sandal - Best sport sandal I've worn, after a long history with Teva’s, Merrells, and Chaco’s. They feel like a sock. No flopping around but they don't feel tight either. The traction's great, even on slippery tile floors. The color in the picture is a little darker than the actual shoe color. These shoes run about a half size smaller than your regular shoes.

Footed Bliss - I had major surgery on rebuilding my foot and ankle two years ago. After wearing these sandals for two days, I realized that my foot felt normal, like the other one. Those were my first pain free and stiffness free days in years! I am now looking into Keen shoes for the fall. Also two of my friends, who are on their feet all day in hotel and restaurant businesses, swear by these sandals. Just be sure to go for a half size bigger than your normal size.

I have bought this shoe for me and my husband. We both love them so comfortable; excellent walking and hiking shoes. The only thing we dislike about them is that your feet sweat a lot and that is something you don't expect from sandals.

Son's Special Request - Picky son who won't shop will only wear this sandal. He's a fly-fishing guide in Colorado and also a runner. He says it's comfortable, protects his toes, likes its looks, of course, and they stand up to a washing (on delicate cycle). Feet are well-cushioned, and don't feel sweaty inside.

Simply the best pair of shoes I have ever worn - I bought a pair of Keen Newport's for a 3 month long trip from Mexico to Costa Rica. These sandals took me through deserts, up volcanoes, in rivers, through muddy jungles, canyoning down waterfalls and over sandy beaches all with equal grace. I didn't even bother to take another pair of shoes with me. A year later, I still wear them daily. They are a permanent fixture on my feet. These are cool when it's hot and surprisingly warm in cold (as long as it's not windy). This is the pinnacle of sandal-making, imho...

Great shoe - I have several pairs of Keen shoes and bought these for my husband to wear on our recent vacation west. He received them two days before we left and has worn them everyday since. He said they were comfortable from day one.

My husband loves these shoes! I bought these for my husband and he loves them!He says they are so comfortable and I really love the way they look!

Husband's wide tender feet - Thinking to save some money, I ordered a wide in a competitor's similar style. My husband complained of the little aerated holes in the sole. I quickly ordered the Newports, one half size up, and my husband hasn't complained. He uses them for outings - the zoo, festivals, anywhere. The toe cover protects his toes from our children who haven't mastered "stepping on other people's toes."
