KEENMen's Newport Sandal

Quality: Very sturdy, high quality, well made sandals. Comfortable to wear right from the start and for long periods at a time, these Keen Newport H2 sandals provide additional protection via the closed toe front whilst still being sufficiently 'airy' in design to let your feet breath in hot conditions. The materials used appear to be of high quality and waterproof so that you can walk through streams, puddles or into the shallows of the sea when at the beach, without water damaging these sandals. The sole is particularly sturdy, offering excellent support and protection in all the right places including heels, foot arches and toes for when walking long distances or across uneven terrain. I also found the under sole grips to be good in wet, slippery and uneven underfoot conditions.Style: Robust, built for purpose. Available in several colour options to suit a range of tastes. However, if you are looking for more flimsy, lightweight and delicate boutique style sandals to wear as a fashion statement, then these might not be for you.Comfort: Comfortably (pun intended) the best sandals I have ever owned.Sizing: I am invariably a size 9 (EU 43) for all types of footwear and so that is the size I bought in this instance, despite some of the observations posted on other reviews to buy them one shoe size bigger than normal, and they fitted me perfectly.Price / Value for money: I bought these sandals in June 2014 from Amazon for £53. If the current price online is anywhere up around their normal RRP of £80 and you aren't in any particular hurry to buy them, then simply pop these items into your 'Save for Later' list on Amazon and wait for the price to drop, which it will. However, if you can't wait for that bargain to appear, then even at full RRP these sandals are decent value for the high quality and comfort they offer.Overall: These Keen NEWPORT H2 sandals are a genuine five start product that have prompted me to write this review, the first of any kind I have ever felt inclined to write in relation to a product I have purchased online. Whether for holidaying abroad in hot, sunny conditions, or for walking the beaches and coastal paths of the UK, or even for use on more testing terrain, I would highly recommend these sandals as an excellent choice for almost anyone.

Great walking sandals. I'm on my 3rd pair - used all over the world - up mountains, through jungles, across & up streams.Tough & durable. Comfy in hot weather.

Surprised that they don’t have Velcro straps but still found easy to pull on. Comfortable from out of the box. Seem robust and well made.

Great sandals. Comfortable and stable.

Good Price and quick delivery

Wearing a pair of these for five years and walked the bottoms off as you may be able to see from the photo of new and old.They are very comfortable and tough with a well protected toe piece.The leather has a label stating 'waterproof' which seems odd for a sandal with slots.However, I guess it means the leather can cope with water immersion, which mine certainly have.With a soft leather insole and lined padded outer they are my favourite footwear.

Comfortable straight out of the box

My last pair of these lasted over 10 years and went all over Asia and Africa. Would never buy anything but, and although on the upper price range they are well work the initial outlay
