Mixing normal sandals and boats tends to result in broken, bleeding toes and furious boat owners. Keen developed the Newport Sandals in the sailing Mecca that is Rhode Island to solve these problems while retaining the comfort of sandals. A patent-pending toe guard protects your toes from deck rigging or rocks on shore. The Newport's soles are made from a grippy, non-marking rubber that prevents you from slipping and falling overboard or from being thrown overboard by black-mark-addled boat owners. The Newport's waterproof leather upper and anatomical last make it comfortable enough for extended wear on long bluewater voyages or just walking around town.
Bottom Line: The Keen Newport sandals offer the comfort of sandals with the toe protection of a shoe.
These are by far the comfiest shoes I have EVER worn. I wore them for 2 weeks straight and climbed several mountains in them. I've worn them kayaking, hiking, and to work. My feet usually hurt at the end of the day, but these shoes are amazing. Worth every cent.
The first day I wore these they were very uncomfortable so I was scared that I was going to have to return them. The more that I wore them the more awesome they are. I am a nurse and am on my feet A LOT, and my feet sweat a great deal. These shoes are absolutely fabulous. When I change my shoes at the end of my shift my legs ache but they never ache when I am wearing them. I highly recommend them to anyone in the nursing field. Give them a couple days and you will never buy another shoe!!!!
I've seen reviews about ordering 1/2 size larger. I noticed that the women's newport leather does not have 1/2 size larger. Only the canvas ones do. If anyone wears a true size 10 who has the leather newports please let me know how the fit is for you.
I have two different sized feet. In some shoes I can wear a 9 1/2 (like Salomons), in other a 10 (like Merrells). I read the same thing you did about ordering half a size large, so I ordered a 10. They are perfect. My husband wears a 9 mens. I ordered him a 9 mens, before I read about ordering a half size larger. He said they were snug at first, but glad that I didn't order them any larger. I hope this helps.
I bought these for my wife and she absolutely loves them. They've been great in the water, on trails, in the sandbox, at the park and just kickin around the house. She did notice that the stitching on the strap around the ankle rubbed a little funny but after a few wearings she was happier than before we were married!:)
I have fairly wide feet and usually buy 8 1/2 W. Since these don't come in a Wide version, I chose to buy size 9. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. A regular 8 1/2 might have worked, but I chose a higher size to be on the safe side.
My own experience with my Keen sandals is that they have plenty of room in the area for your toes and such, yet still hug your ankle area. The sandals also have an adjustment cord so you can tighten or loosen the fit of the sandal. I like plenty of room for my toes and my bunion on my right foot, but I have a skinny ankle and they fit my ankle as well.
My wife wears the Keen Newport Sandal all year long. The weather makes no difference to her because of the comfort that they provide. She has 4 pair so she is always coordinated with her outfits. They are the best.
These are very comfortable shoes. I bought a pair for my husband for Father's Day and he loved them. So I got some for myself. I love them. I had foot problem, so I have trouble finding comfort shoes. These are great. I now have two pair.
I wanted a pair of shoes that would be Everything and do Everything this summer. I wanted something to wear with both jeans and shorts, something that I could wear all-day long around town, yet could go hiking on weekends.
I found The Perfect Shoe: Keen sandals. I've had mine for about 6 weeks now and I wear them almost every day. They work fashion-wise with jeans, khakis, and shorts. They are comfortable for daily wear. And best of all, I can go hiking. So far I've gone hiking several times, most recently on a 5 mile hike. They performed as well as my $300 hiking boots, except for the rocks that sneak in through the sides.
Pros : very comfortable, adjustable, rugged, good traction on slippery trails, washable
Cons: they don't dry quickly, so I don't get them wet unless I'm at the end of a hike
Would I buy again or recommend? Absolutely! In fact, several people have stopped me to ask how I like them. I rave about them and tell people they're well worth the cost.
I have three pair of the Keen sandals and they are tough, comfortable, waterproof and ready for 3 seasons. I wore these with SmartWool socks and was completely comfortable traveling through the airport and swimming in the Olympic lakes. There is ample toe room, I wore them with no break in times and not one red mark or blister.
These are super comfortable sandals. They don't take any 'breaking in' -- they're comfortable from the first step. My hubby bought a pair and was telling me all about how nice & comfortable his are, so I just had to look for women's and get some too! I sure am glad I did -- They're great sandals!
My Keen Newports are my favorite sandals ever! I took them on a trip to rural British Columbia and wore them fishing, hiking, beachcombing and to dinner at the pub! I practically feel as though here is nothing on my feet yet they are perfectly protected from everything, and of course after going in the water with them on they dry in a flash! What an excellent product!
I loved my Keen Newports when wearing them with socks, but when I started wearing them barefoot, they made my feet sweaty and stinky. I had never had problems with stinky feet until I started wearing these. I put odor-eaters insoles in them, and that took care of the smell, but my feet still feel warm and moist whenever I wear them, especially in the toe area. Aside from holding warmth and moisture, they are very comfortable, and I love the toe protection. I just wish they were more breathable.
These sandals have become my favorite footwear since the moment I put them onI even wear them to work! I bought them for a river rafting trip for which they were perfect, but the excellent fit and comfortable feel makes them ideal for every day wear. Fortunately, I can dress casually at my job because I don't want to put on any other shoes. I'll definitely be checking out more of the Keen styles soon.
I always have trouble finding sandals because my feet are both wide and full of arthritis. These are fantastic. They are wide, supportive, and well-cushioned. They took a couple of days to break in, but the breaking-in process was nothing that a couple of band aids couldn't handle.
Food Gatherers is a non-profit Food Rescue and Food Bank Program that serves Washtenaw County in Michigan. The majority of our staff have started wearing the Keen line of sandals as they are the most comfortable and they meet the requirement of closed toed shoes. We are the best fancy footed food rescue/food bank program in the country! We love these shoes!
The Newport Womens Sandal is one of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. You can wear them anywhere! From water sports to hiking to church, these are wonderful. I would definitely recommend these to friends or family members.
On the advice of my sister-in-law, I ordered the Keen sandals. I use orthotics in all of my shoes for high arches. However, when I received my Newport's I only had to add a small Dr. Sholl's insert to make the arch high enough. No break-in period was needed and I love these sandals. Comfortable, even with hours of wear. Thank you!
I picked up two pairs of the Newport Keens. One for myself and one pair for my husband. We just got back from a trip to Bremerton, Washington to visit our daughter. We wore them all the time and absolutely loved them. They were very comfortable and easy to hike in as well as walk along the coast. We didn't even have to break them in. Thanks so much for your good service.
I highly recommend these sandals! They are extraordinarily comfortable, durable, and useful for all kinds of activities, terrains and conditions. I love mine!
I love my new Newport Sandals by Keen. My husband and I plan to go to Colorado in September. I travel light and wanted a pair of all-around shoes. The Newports fit the ticket! They are rugged, yet comfortable. The covered toe on a sandal really sold me on this shoe. I've been asked, Where did you get those neat sandals? I told my sister about them and she said they sounded like her favorite pair of sandals. Guess what? Her favorite pair are Newports by Keen too!
I LOVE my Keens! They are so comfortable I can do my daily walks in them; and they dry quickly how cool is that? I love them so much, I purchased another pair locally in the nylon. Your service was great and I won't hesitate to order here again.
Very comfortable from the first moment, possibly a little firm but that is due to the strong support system this show offers. Still haven't shown any signs of bad odor but I've mostly used them with socks so far. Super comfy can see I'll be using these a lot.
Itll be a sad day when I have to adjust to the winter months and give up wearing my Keen's. I took them out of the box and haven't taken them off except to sleep and shower. If I didn't have to wash my feet, they'd be in the shower with me. They are incredibly comfortable, have great arch support and keep my toes from the terrible stub.
Love my sandals and wear them comfortably on excursions to the library, grocery store, and neighborhood walks. I have wide feet and these work perfectly along with excellent support.
I love my Keens, but.... they tend to be a bit warm. We are a very active Scouting family, between summer camp, Philmont, soccer, football, and more, we spend the majority of the summer on the go. I love the extra foot protection they offer and the fit is great, but it does run a little small (order 1/2 size larger than your everyday shoes.) Due to the extra foot protection, I think the shoe tends to hold the heat of my foot, any sweat is allowed to evaporate, but the heat tends to stay behind. The heat is not so excessive as to make the shoes un-wearable, but occasional the dogs need to come out and cool off on a real hot day. Otherwise, I love my keens!
I work at a scuba diving shop, and these are the only sandals that I dont slip and slide all over the store! Also work wonderful on the boat, keeping me toes safe from stubbing!
I got these Keen Newport Sandals because I needed a pair of good travel shoes that would stand up in any warm weather condition. I was not disappointed. I wore these everywhere - up the east coast of Australia in lots of wet conditions, and all over the interior of Australia in lots of dry conditions. Also all over New Zealand in temperate conditions. (And, of course, all over Western Canada in the summer). The only thing I would recommend to new owners is to wear them in a bit - not that the shoes need to be broken in, but your feet might! I got lots of blisters the first week I wore these, but only because the first moment I put them on I was wearing them for up to 10 hours of walking and hiking a day. As soon as my feet were accustomed to the shoes, I had no problems and wore them everywhere! These shoes are also very durable. I wore them for 3 months straight in all sorts of activities, and they still look like the day I got them. Highly recommend them to anyone!
I was told by several of my friends how much they loved their Newport Sandals because they are so comfortable. After much convincing, I finally went out and bought a pair and was so glad I did. They truly are the most comfortable rugged sandals I have ever owned, I will never go back to those other sandals, I love my Newports !
Love these sandals. Very comfortable and soft. So far, no complaints. I have not used them that much for outdoor sports since I bought them late in the year. Looking forward to next summer's workout with them!
Great sandals! I ordered a 1/2 size up after reading the reviews and recommendations and they fit perfectly (I'm a faithful 7 1/2 and I ordered an 8). They are comfortable and have been worn to the beach, out for long walks etc. NO COMPLAINTS and NO BLISTERS!! They also look great with beach attire, casual attire, or just hanging out. This was my first purchase from this website and boy was it easy with very speedy delivery- free delivery that is!! I will order again from this website.
i have never been disappointed with keen. i have several pair, they are always easy to break in, comfortable and the wide toe box is wonderful. the newports were perfect...true to size and ready to be worn, absolutely no break in period.
I purchased Keens because of friends' recommendations. I wanted shoes that would do well camping, in water, and for casual walks around town. These felt heavy and clunky. After about 20 minutes, they irritated my hammertoe, and weirdest of all, they left stains on my toenails.
These keen Newport sandals are the best! My only advise is to buy them 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size - the!y run a tad bit small. Rum Raisin is a beautiful color. They go with everything and I wore them all over New York City in style and comfort!
I know everyone loves these shoes and I really wanted to love them too, but I had to return them. the openings at the toes rubbed my feet the wrong way and they seemed kind of hot even just trying them on...that could be because I ordered the leather ones.
These are amazingly comfortable! I would definitely purchase these again. They fit small, I am a size 5 in Columbia, Reebok, Adidas etc, and with these I needed a 6. I heard that about KEEN's and was glad I listened.
These shoes proved comfortable right out of the box. I am so excited to finally have a sandal that is appropriate for work during the warmer months. They are exactly what I need and so happy to have.
If you want compliments on your shoes pick these. Everyone likes them. Including me. I have a narrow foot so I thought they would be too wide when I saw them in the box. There is a large toe box. But they adjust so nicely it wasn't a problem.
