My favorite shoes of all time (2008-05-20)
Simply the most comfortable shoes--not just sandals--I've ever owned. Has a great built-in insole. Fits my flat, surgically repaired foot perfectly. I wear them to work, to play and everywhere else. I will buy this shoe as long as it is made--and then I will be sorry it is no more...............

The best outdoor sandal ever (2008-04-07)
These Keen newport sandals are my second pair, they were amazingly comfortable right out of the box. There is only minor wear to the first pair after 4 years of hard use and travel. A bargain at most any price.

Great performer; short life span (2008-04-07)
My experience with Keen Newport H2 sandals was similar to many I read here. Comfortable, convenient, good toe protection, stable, etc. For the price they are an excellent value, given that you'll likely be wearing them at every opportunity. I do have a couple of observations that might differ from what many others have said.

I, for one, did not experience an odor problem. My model was touted as having an anti-microbial footbed that apparently prevents odors. Whatever it was, the product was remarkably effective in my case.

My great disappointment, and the reason that I cannot award 5-stars here and why I did not buy another pair at the beginning of this season, is the surprisingly short life of my shoes. On both shoes (left and right), the footbeds were parting at the mold seams and the webbing was pulling away from the shoes at these same points. This, just after one season of wear (frequent wear, including a few camping trips and creek wades, I should point out). I have a pair of Teva sandals that are years-old and still on the job.

So, I am giving another product a try this year; but I wouldn't discourage you from giving these a shot. Maybe you'll have a better experience.

Good Second Thoughts (2008-01-09)
At first I thought spending this much money for a pair of sandles was normally not me. I would rather go to Walmart and get a pair of $25 Specials to last me a few months but the pickings are limited here on Guam (and no Walmart. A Kmart but no Walmart) I thought I give "online" shopping a try. I found these Keen on Amazon and based my choice due to the colors to be honest...Men's Blue Yellow Fade represent the Navy Colors. So I took a gamble and spent so-so money for these shoes and since they arrived I've worn them everyday. Their that comfortable. The next time I need sandles I'm going Keen again. Sorry Walmart.

Great Shoes, Great Service (2007-12-26)
Shoes arrived as promised. These shoes are wonderfully comfortable. I ordered them for a trip to the Carribean. Can't wait until the warm weather comes back!
