Keen Men's Newport Sandal

Andy Slemp - 2009-07-04

Just a great all-around Sandal!
Not only are they so comfortable on pavement, their water-proof texture makes them ideal for the Beach. They are making Myrtle Beach much more "Foot-Friendly" this year. No more "shell scratches" on my feet while walking in the surf.

Great Father's Day Present
My father-in-law needed a pair of lake sandals because he is a diabetic and continued stubbing his toes. He loves the sandals and now wears them daily. Great buy.

I find this model more comfortable for everyday wear than the H2 model due to the different insole.

Great Sandals
I ordered these sandals for my husband in the khaki/forest night 3 weeks ago. He had tried them on in a store but they didn't have the color he wanted in his size. Altrec came though for us as they had both the color and size he needed. We were leaving on vacation in 6 days so had them 2 day air. My husband has multiple problems with his feet. He took several pairs of shoes along but these were the only pair he wore for 11 days! Great comfort/style and worth every penny!

Another Great Keen Design!
Unlike some people I started with Keen shoes and then bought these Keen sandals. What can I say that hasn't been said? The footbed is great right out of the box, comfortable and as of yet odor free (can you say no Teva stench). The tension straps were a little long as I have a medium volume foot. Nothing a little trim of the straps didn't cure. The fit is exceptional, but I upsized a half to full size compared to other manufacturers. The color I got Khaki/Forest Night has a slight morphing ability. Though beige with a slight green hue when worn with khaki, brown, or blue, they definitely take on a more green hue when worn with green. I think this is pretty cool, just wanted to inform potential buyers. As for the "Waterproof" claim of these shoes, I put my trust in Keen as I have yet to test them. My wife's have held up well through a summer of concrete, blacktop, forest duff, lakes, and streams. If you are really looking for a dedicated water shoe, go for the H2's my daughter's have held up wonderfully and dry fairly quickly.

First pair DEFINITELY not the last.
I work 16hr shifts in a very busy C.T. department and these shoes proved themselves worthy of they're reputation. The person who told me about the sandal is a avid sailboater and a CRNA at one of the hospitals I work at, could not thank her enough. I have worn everything from running shoes too Danskos too Crocs NEVER again. These Newport sandals are by far the best and most comfortable shoe/sandal that I have ever worn!

Great Sandals!
I bought these Keen Newport Sandals specifically for white water rafting the Arkansas River through Brown's Canyon. They were extremely comfortable, true to size, and gave me superior foot support. They gripped the wet raft well and dried quickly during wear. I will only consider Keen for future purchase. Thanks Altrec!

I have been wearing a pair of Newport H2s day and night for three years and still love them. Finally decided it was time for a second pair. Since I bought my first pair my wife and kids have all gotten them and feel the as I do about them them. You can't beat Keens for style, comfort and durability. Great service from Altrec, received order in two business days with no problems.

So good I bought two pair!!!
Having had back surgery, I was looking for a comfortable, toe enclosed sport sandal, and bought these by chance. From the moment I put them on I knew I made the right choice. After a month, I liked them so much I decided to order another pair from Altrec.com in another color. I recommend ordering a half size larger than your normal shoe size. Keen and Altrec.com are simply the best.

Definitely the best sandals yet.
Living in South Florida, I wear sandals all year long. Since I wear size 14 my selections locally are limited. These sandals fit like a glove with no break in necessary. The leather uppers are very soft and comfortable. The only down side is my wife wants a pair. Altec you will be getting my order for her pair forthwith. Fast shipping and great service from Altrec. You have another faithfull customer. Thank you.

Worth the money
These sandals were comfortable right out of the box. They are great for bumming around town. The quality of the construction of the shoe is top notch. The Newports look great with long pants as well as shorts; and they protect your feet much better than flip-flops. They are as comfortable to wear as a pair of running shoes.

Keen Sandals Awesome but so is Altrec
I first saw Keen sandals during a recent vacation. My brother had a pair and used them on the beach, in the water, during walks and day trips. He convinced me to get a pair. Since the temperature here is -25C and there is 25 inches of snow on the ground, I haven't been able to wear my Keen's much except in the house. However, my brother swears by them. I also would like to commend Altrec for such fantastic service. I would give them five stars as well.

Comfortable and Tough
Gentle on the inside, rugged on the outside, the Keen Newport Sandal is the ideal do-it-all shoe. I wear mine just about everywhere,from strolls along the beach to casual dinner engagements. A little bit hiking boot and a little bit sandal, the tread makes for sure-footed travel while the gaps between the straps provide plenty of room for your foot to breathe on warm summer days.

First pair of Keens. Great fit. Feels true to size. Was looking for a do it all sandal. The Keen Newports fit the bill. Great for hiking, yard work or just kicking around town.

Can there possibly be a better sandal?
Keen Newports are my new top favorite shoe. And living in Phoenix, wearing socks and shoes is a pain in the summer. These let your feet breathe really well, especially protect your toes from rocks, and even look good enough to pass as casual dress shoe. You can take them through water, over rocks, and through the woods if you want. Whether you're out for a walk or just lounging around the house. On my latest multi-day fasthiking trip, it was nice to take off my hiking socks and boots at the end of a hard day, slip these on, and get things done around camp without having too worry to much about. What a great shoe, can't say enough good things about them.

Super comfortable and perfect for wide toes...
My husband loves these sandals--he has hard to fit feet--very wide in the toe area but fairly narrow heels. These sandals are extremely comfortable for him and seem to have a lot of flexibility in the fit. We found we had to size up one full size.

amazing shoe
My wife ran out of room in her yoga class last night so I went for a run instead. The only shoes I had were my Keen sandals and I was not sure if they would be ok for the run (an hour of mixed terrain street, hill and trail running). To be blunt...they were amazing, as good as my Teva trail runners....and these are SANDALS. They covered rocky ground, broken farm road and even "muddy" cow paths will real style. I'm am totally impressed and am ordering a pair for my son.

Keen Newport, Men's
This is truly a comfortable sandal! They were very well fitting right out of the box, and have not required any break-in. I really like the style and looks, and they are very easy to take on and off with the elastic bands instead of laces or buckles. Unlike other sandals which I have worn, these have a cushion feeling which is nice, even on rough ground. I haven't had them wet yet, but will have no qualms about wading or canoeing in them. I followed other's advice and bought a half-size larger -- it was true advice! Good fit, good looks, good functionality!

Greatest sandel/shoe yet
The Keen Newport is by far the most comfortable sandel and sport shoe I have owned yet. As the temperature cools off the sandal even work great with socks turning it into a cool weather sports shoe. I use mine biking, boating hiking and every day at the mall. I highly recommend this footwear from Altrec. Their sale price and sevice beats all. Way to go Altrec. My next pair will be the H2O series by Keen from Altrec!

Comfortable shoe that seems to be well built
After a few weeks of wearing the shoe, it has finally settled in and the little quirks with the foot bed have disappeared. It runs a little wide for a skinny foot and if your heel is narrow it will be little loose on the back of your foot. (Had to cut off some of the excess bungee cord fastener). For that average foot it will work great and keeping your toes protected with a river type shoe is such a novel idea! What took so long?

Great shoes!
Received my Newports last week, and wore them to a lake here in Oklahoma. Used them for boating and climbing some rocks/cliffs. The soles are pretty sticky, and the covered toe box is awesome. We jumped off the cliffs into the lake, and the shoes were great - stayed on with no problems in the water, and were still comfortable to hike in while wet. I have a pair of Teva water shoes that I may never wear again. I am heading to Hawaii next month, and am looking forward to trying them out in the Pacific. Look good in town too. Highly recommended.

He won't take them off!
My fiance and I were in Kauai this summer and each bought a pair of Keen Newports in leather. We hiked in them and he fished in them - we couldn't believe how sturdily we could hike, and how protected our feet felt. BONUS: no sweaty feet smell when my man took them off!!! He loved them so much I bought him a second pair for his bday. He has since worn them fishing in Alaska, where he was the envy of all his friends who thought he looked really cool bringing in a 104 pound Halibut while wearing "those crazy sandals." Only problem is between the two pair he now has the funniest tanlines on his feet I've ever seen. He won't wear anything else except to work, AND WHY SHOULD HE TRY?
