KEEN Newport H2 Sandal - Women's

Item #KEN0004 | 327 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Never stopped blistering

By Ranked #716 - Women's Technical Sandals October 5, 2009

I read the other reviews and figured most were pretty good so I'd give these keens a try. At first they seemed like a good buy because my boyfriend and I tend to go on camping/hiking/climbing trips relatively often and he said his Keens were perfect for some of the shorter approaches and when there's rivers/lakes involved. But after 6 months of wearing these pretty consistently, they never stopped blistering my heels! Granted, they were fine for the REALLY short approaches, but I also tried wearing them for the flat hike around Leigh Lake in the Tetons (which is only a couple miles at best) and my heels were once again screaming. I ended up having to return them since I can't justify spending that much money for something I won't wear that often. Might give Chacos a try.
