Item #KEN0003 | 170 in Stock

By Ranked #575 - Women's Footwear May 23, 2011

I am going on holiday in October to Kuala Lumpa then Cambodia and I want a walking sandal that i can wear for the 3 weeks. I don't want to wear socks and the weather will be humid and at the end of the rainy season so I will be getting wet feet. I want a sandal that will be comfortable, dry quickly and not leave me with sticky, sweaty feet. Is the Newport sandal the one for me, if not can anyone recommend another style. Thanks

The Women's Newport sandal upper is leather. You will find it will take longer to dry than the Women's Newport H2 which it's upper is made with synthetic. Both Newport's run small, by about a half size. The Women's Venice H2 by KEEN is more open then the Newport H2, so this may help a little with sticky feet. The sizing is a bit bigger than the Newport, but still a little small, so if you are a 8 to 8.5 get the 8.5. KEEN makes another sandal that is even more open called the Hydro Guide. This comes in men sizes only, but they go down to a mens 4. Men sizes run a full size bigger than women, for example, women's 8 is a mens 7. These are all closed toe sandals, your feet will get warm and sweaty in them, but when it's humid and hot out it's hard to keep your feet dry with out socks with any sandal. Nice thing about the KEEN sandals, they all can be washed in a washer or by hand to help with the stink factor.
