Customer Reviews KEEN Clearwater CNX

These are wonderfully lightweight. We've always had the H2O Newports which are great, but a heavy, sturdy sandal. These Clearwaters are much better suited to traveling and watersports since they don't weigh much and seem like they will dry quickly. I don't know if they will last as long as the Newports (which seem almost indestructible.) Overall, happy to have discovered these.

My 11 year old loves them as good shoes for running around and swimming, hiking, and playing outside!

Mine fit perfectly but I ordered a half size larger after reading the reviews. They also seem on the narrow side. OK for me as I have narrow feet but others that really have a D width might find them snug and want to order a full size longer. Some people don't think they have much cushioning but they are light sandals so don't expect something you could go trail hiking all day on. Great for casual wear.

These fit more like shoes than sandals. They're very comfortable and functional during long adventures on or off the pavement. I owned a similar pair by Keen and wore them down to nothing - by far my favorite warm-weather shoe. These new shoes improve on fit, comfort, and style.

Feels light but durable.

Perfect no slipping. Secure comfort fit

Great shoe for working around the house and general outdoor activity. Comfortable and more versatile than sandals.

Great sandals a lot lighter than my other keens fits great thanks keen

Great shoe

The arch area was not good for my foot. No one size fits all.

This is my 4th pair of Keens. I love them! I especially like the closed-toe design. Most comfortable sandal I have ever worn.

The arch support hurt my foot arch. It seemed like the groves & lettering embedded in the molded support hurt my arch.

Keens are excellent shoes and Zappos always provides excellent service.

I had to order a size bigger. Once I did that, love the shoes.

My husband and his brother both bought these for a family trip to a lakehouse in New Hampshire. They both loved them. The beach and lake are rocky and we needed protection for our feet when swimming and kayaking. These are lightweight, yet sturdy, and perfect for water sports. I own two pairs of the women's Newport H2 and my 2 year old daughter has the kids version. The Clearwater is lighter than the Newport - not as sturdy and wide - but my husband wanted a more lightweight shoe. Mine have held up for years. I love how easy they are to wear in and out of water, sand, and rocks. They are comfortable when wet (though not great for any real swimming as they drag in the water). Great for play and water sports!

My initial order was returned after I decided I needed a little more room in this particular shoe. However, the return process could not have been handled more professionally or efficiently. With a return label provided via email, I returned my initial order and received the replacement pair the next day. What could possibly be easier than that! Love the shoes and will return for my next shoe purchase.

Taking advice of other reviewers I first went 1/2 size larger - still too small. Finally, size 11, a full size larger than I normally get. I find this ridiculous - why such a large error? And comparing this shoe to my others, it's not imagination - even the 11 is slightly smaller than two other sandals. Once getting 11's I'm very pleased. Got them primarily for my sailboat shoe. The light weight, non-marking soles, toe protection, great ventilation and sun protection are great features. You tend to forget you're wearing them.

I've had a very hard time finding comfortable sandals.I have a tall foot which requires that I normally buy a 4e to provide enough space to be comfortable. I also normally wear Altra running shoes because they have a wide toe box and little arch support. These shoes are very comfortable and also have a relatively flat insole. I just went on vacation for a week and wore these all day every day and my feet were always comfortable. They seem well made. I normally wear a 10.5 4e in regular shoes and an 11 fits very well in these sandals. Great shoes.

Love the shoes, but they really were small. Normally take a 10.5, so ordered an 11. It was small and narrow, had to go to 11.5. Nonetheless they are great boat sandals. Very light, almost minimalist.

This Clearwater sandal feels closer to my barefoot running shoe than the clunky shoe I am used to from Keen. Love it.

I normally wear a Men's 10 which I ordered in the Sunset/Marigold color. Upon receipt of the shoes I tried them on and my toe hit the end of the shoe. I had to order a full size up (11) which was a much better fit. These shoes are far lighter than an older pair of enclosed Teva sandals I have for rafting etc... and are much more comfortable to wear around town in casual settings. I love the color I chose as it works with most colors in my wardrobe. I would recommend these sandals but would highly suggest ordering at least a half if not a whole size up.

Bought the Keen Clearwater CNX for my son with the ever-growing feet! He complains frequently about shoes not being comfortable or achy feet at the end of long days. These shoes, however, are a great fit for him! He has worn the Newports up until now, but these seem to suit him better without a break-in period. We did have to go up a half size in this style--but once again, the Zappos magic saved the day!!

Well made but narrow compared to H2

Nice shoe, runs a bit small. Bought them They don't seem to have as much arch support as other Keen's I own. Nice for running around town but not for being the "only shoe" on a long trip.

Great shoes but they do run small. I tested three different sizes until I was sure of the fit, and Zappos cust service was incredible during the process. I order one size up and those were the "goldilocks" pair.
