Review on KEEN Womens Newport Retro W Original Women's Shoes : Athletic by Joseph Reed

I have attached my photos to each one. Newport H2 is gray and Whisper is brown. The Newport H2 is more durable in every way. Pay attention to the toe protection, the width of the foot protection and the protector on the sole (see 2nd photo). The Whisper is slimmer and fits better on my foot. It also seems that my fingers are visible in the Whisper but not in the Newport H2. I'm planning to return a pair and here's the catch: I need more durable ones for the outdoors/hiking and long walks, but I'm more comfortable in the Whisper. The Newports are a bit wider and I think the back strap will chafe my ankle (I'm short so that might affect it). Both use elastic laces for adjustment, and it's more effective than I previously thought - they work like regular laces. Oh, and buy 1/2 size bigger! (Update: decision made. I'll keep Whisper for convenience.)
