About KEEN Men's Newport Closed Toe Leather Sandals
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
90% found the material durable , but 10% didn't
I have been using one pair for over 10 years and it still feels great, with only the traction on the sole having worn out.
I noticed a terrible odor issue with the material. This could be a result of the material used or some other factor.
I experienced that the heel side panels of the sandal pulled out long before the rest of the sandal showed any wear.
The foot opening is very small now and the material to slide my foot through is not elastic.

79% found it light in weight, but 21% felt it was little heavy
I found the sandals unsuitable for hiking due to their soft and unsupportive heel strap and lack of arch support.
The sandals were too heavy and my feet couldn't breathe. I should have worn real hiking boots on my recent desert trip.
90% were satisfied with the water resistance, but 10% weren't
My feet were miserable because the product did not dry quickly and stayed wet most of the day.
84% were satisfied with the traction
The sandals fit me well and the soles provide excellent traction, even on wet rocks.
80% appreciated the odor control, but 20% faced problems
I control the odor of my shoes by sitting them out in the sun and sprinkling baby powder on them when they get ripe and smell bad.
After wearing them for a year, my sandals started to reek and washing them didn't help much. The insole is not removable and it is a fabric insole instead of EVA or rubber like other sandals.
87% liked the comfort
The bottom of my sandals is thick and super cushiony over all terrains.
89% found it breathable, yet 11% encountered issues
After less than a year of wearing them, my sandals started to stink and washing them didn't help much because the insole is not removable and it is a fabric insole instead of EVA or rubber like other sandals.
During my recent desert trip, I found the sandals too heavy and my feet couldn't breathe. I should have worn real hiking boots instead.
90% were impressed with the arch support, although 10% weren't
I was expecting the keen sandals to have a thicker angle towards the toe, but they have a thick bottom.
78% were satisfied with the adjustability, although 22% weren't
I initially had trouble getting the sandal on due to its tightness, but it is slowly stretching. Despite the struggle, I still find the sandal wonderful.
There are bumpy, sharp irregularities on both the left and right side of the footbed portion of my heel.
