Clearwater CNX Sandal - Men's

Slender Feet?

These light but rugged sandals will take you anywhere, ideal if like me you are a bit skinny and often slop about a bit in sandals when walking distances, causing tired feet and making you wish you’d worn your trainers, not necessary with the Clearwater.

These are great

I have two arthritic big toes and bad arches sandals are usually a no go for me, but these are great!!

Best shoes ever buying second pair

These are my favorite shoes I’ve ever owned!! They are so lightweight and comfortable. I bought the men’s version because I preferred the triple black colorway and the subtle design differences to the upper. They feel like wearing supportive dance shoes, super natural like a barefoot walking feeling. Nothing rubs or moves around. I love the super low profile of the upper and the outsole. They look really graceful not chunky or outdoorsy. I have bunions and these feel great! As far as sizing if any other women are thinking of purchasing these, I recommend measuring your foot in cm and following the Japanese sizing system. These are on the smaller end of my shoe size range but that’s relative to other brands which aren’t necessarily trustworthy anyway.

Much Lighter

I had a pair of these from a few years ago that served me well until some recent failures in the upper stitching has led to imminent failure. I bought this pair and was surprised at how much lighter it is now compared to the older. The thickness of the sole has been cut down substantially. I can't say for sure if that will translate into a shorter life, so I'm not worrying about it.

What happened to the great, great Keen sandle?

What I received was not what I saw in the photo. I don't know what happened but when I tried them on, they were narrow and felt very, very cheap. The soles of the shoes were very thin. I compared them to the Keens I was replacing it was not even close to the same shoe. My old Keen's lasted 5 years and I wore them all the time. The sole was thick, the leather was thick and the shoe fit perfectly. The replacement shoes I ordered were like a cheap China knock-off. So, so sad what has happened to Keen. They lost me as a customer. I ended up buying some Berks. They were more money, but I love them and will never go back. I could not be more disappointed with Keen. What happened?

Just what I wanted!

I bought these because I wanted sandals with the Keen toe protector, but something lighter and more pack able than my old Newports. Boom! These fit the bill perfectly! Comfortable, lighter, they fit, they stay adjusted, and when get wet, they dry out nicely with no stink. Good job, Keen!

Not the same

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sandals are lighter, but fit tighter and not as comfortable as my older pair. Walking in them feels harder on the soles of my feet. Maybe they will feel better when they are broken in more. I recommend going back to the old style.
