KEEN Newport Sandal - Women's
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.

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!:)

A friend recommended I try Keen sandals. So I took her advice. I ordered a 1/2 size up and they were a perfect fit. Comfort right out of the box. I even hooked my husband up, so now we are a "Keen" couple. Hooked for life!!!

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 wanted comfortable good-looking water/camping sandal-shoes. These are perfect, and my feet don't look like nubby clubs.

I'd seen these sandals a year ago and finally managed to get a pair and they were every bit as comfortable as I'd expected. Extremely comfortable from the moment I put them on. I was worried when I later read to order 1/2 size larger, but I had no trouble with the fit.

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 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 !

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

You can't pray for a more functional, comfortable shoe. This comes from a woman whose feet hurt most of the time, and who has had numerous surgeries.

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!

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.

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.

It’ll 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.

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!

These sandals have become my favorite footwear since the moment I put them on—I 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.
