Review on KEEN Mens Newport Sandal Black Men's Shoes by Jon Dunn

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The perfect gift! A lighter profile than the original Keens, but still safe, comfortable and great looking!

Bought these as a gift for my husband who loves his Keen hiking boots so much he bought a spare pair of Keen boots. That says a lot, because he's a forest ranger, walks in some kind of boots most of the time and has tried them all. He has stiff feet to pick up shoes as they are wide and flat. As this brand of Keen seemed to suit him very well I ordered 2 variations of these sandals (as well as 2 sizes each) as a birthday present so he could choose the best one. The other Keen sandals I ordered were original Keen sandals. Based on the reviews I read, I figured the old original and oversized would probably work best for him, but it was these lighter, true-size, flat sandals (rather than the oversized pair) that really appealed to him fit perfectly. . Perfect resemblance! And with their lighter construction, they looked a lot better on him than the heavier Keens. So happy they worked - they look great (not too chunky) and he loves them! On the plus side, these sandals are well ventilated and also cover his injured toenails from year-round field work on steep terrain in spiked hiking boots.

Pros
  • GRIP AND PROTECTION: Multi-directional lugs with sharp grooves provide superior traction on slippery, wet surfaces; Non-marking rubber outsole leaves no marks when walking indoors; Iconic toe guard provides added security to help prevent injury
