So far so good. I have worn these a few times and they are very comfortable. I went a 1/2 size down for what its worth. Love the large toe protector!
Durably sound sandals

Comfortable!

Poor craftsmanship

Three months of very light wear the heel material ripped apart and holes were in the stretchy backing material. Sandal can't be tightened to the foot.
Really comfortable!

After trying on many shoe and sandal types, these were the most comfortable and they look very durable. I have yet to use them hiking or anything yet though.

Ordering my second pair in 3 years. I have worn mine every day from April to October since getting my first. I usually have my SUP on the roof rack, and these shoes are great if you want to pull over for a quick paddle on the lunch hour. By the time I get back to the office, they are dry enough to be comfortable the rest of the day. The stitching in the heel (mentioned by others) finally started to give out on mine-Keen will repair them, but at this point I am going to just buy new ones because an extra pair makes more sense. This is a true all-terrain shoe disguised as a sandal-you can take it anywhere and your feet are always cooler than in a shoe or boot. I hope they don't change a thing.
Junk

After 2 years of mild use..stitching in heel is gone. Sandals look like crap now. Cant believe after spending this much I have to replace them. My NorthFace sandals lasted 5 years
Good product

Had many many sandals over the years. Don't even bother to continue your search, this is it. It is slightly heavier (circa 150g per shoe) than competitors but the added protection and stability is worth it. It runs half size small.
I hope they last long...
Looks like there's still some leather on...

Looks like there's still some leather on the side of the heel... looking for a vegan shoe... does this one still have leather?

There is no leather on this footwear, what you see is a man made suede.
Thanks, Jerry
Great Camp Shoe

Used these as camp shoes in Peru on the Inca trail and while climbing Kili this year. I love the versatility - you can wear them barefoot and stay nice and cool, but still get the tread as you're climbing around a campsite. As it cooled off I would throw on a pair of wool socks underneath then and my feet would stay nice and toasty. Very happy with my Keens!
Great shoes

Love these shoes perfect for everything outdoor at the lake
Great shoe!

Like some other reviews have said, this shoe is great for doing just about everything outdoors. I recently wore them as my only shoe on a Canadian fishing trip and they performed great and were very comfortable. My only complaint is that due to the toe being enclosed, when you get sand or a rock in them it is hard to get out without removing the shoe. As far as size goes, they were about half a size small on me.
Great sandal

Great shoe, but found they run a little small had to get a 1/2 size larger than normal.
poor quality stitching
pitydafoo
Member since
A great compromise between more open designed sandals (like Chacos) and shoes.
The added toe protection, heel strap and over the foot webbing, while reducing drainage, are great for hiking. Which is exactly what I like when I am on the river.
Unfortunately, the stitching on these sandals is pretty low quality. I've gone through 2 pairs of this sandal in 2 seasons. Both times the stitching on the heel straps has come apart. Fortunately, Keen has pretty good customer service. I'm now waiting on my 3rd pair which will have the one-piece, leather heel design. I've given up on the nylon Newports...
These were made for me

I finally had to break down and replace my six-year-old Tevas after my puppy got ahold of one of them and destroyed it, but these are a fine upgrade. I swear that Keen must have used my foot as a mold when designing these sandals. Been hiking a lot with them, no break-in time at all. No worries about getting them wet, they dry quickly and the toe box protects my feet against rocks and sticks.

Do the Shimano sandals clip on bicycle...

Do the Shimano sandals clip on bicycle pedals?
Wally Phillips
Member since
Hey John McClintock,
Thanks for the question. When it comes to KEEN sandals/shoes, the pedal line is SPD cleat compatible so that they can clip onto any two hole SPD Shimano clipless pedals. The models that have this feature are the Commuter II, Arroyo Pedal, Springwater II and Austin Pedal. SPD two hole cleats are not included with the shoes/sandals though.

I love these, they are a everyday sandle for me. They are up for any challege. I use these for summer hikes. Great for on the boat or kayaking. And not to mention they are my lucky fishing shoe. The Newports are extremely comfy and recommend them to anyone. Great job Keen.
