Pros & Cons
Pros
The bungee lace system is great, but i don't bother to tighten when puttering about the house. Improved support and construction over 6-8 yrs ago.
Leather versions seem to conform better to my walking style. Since they're leather they are less likely to blow out the stitching on the side. I wear it with and without socks - no judgement here please-just saying.
Last pair of nylon newports fit perfect in size 11. Order a half-size larger due to keen altering the sizing for some reason.
Keen sandals are a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts. The stylish design adds the perfect touch to any outdoor outfit. Top-notch performance and comfort on their expeditions. Used in egypt for 2 weeks on miles of walking.
Cons
The right shoe is nice and snug, but the left has to be tightened way up to match. Their sizing is way off.
Spacing between straps isn't consistent, areas look sloppily glued. They have a sewn seam in the middle of the back strap that makes them unwearable. Unless i wear socks, the stitching rubs my achilles tendon.
Highlights
Quality
The closed toe and quality construction last and last and last
My husband is super satisfied with the size and fitbut then you will be happy you diddon’t procrastinate but then
Its that theyre a little difficult to put on even with the elastic laces backed all the way off
But consider that inexpensive considering the sandals versatility quality and longevity
Price
The price was 50 less than the retail stores
At rei i was shocked at the 135 price
Packaging/appearance
Feels like they are broken in straight out of the box
Since the uppers and soles on my old newports remain in excellent condition i glued the strap back into the sandal
Competitiveness
Keen sandals are a gamechanger for outdoor enthusiasts
