So Cool and No Kicking Off

These shoes are way hip and since they're hightops my kid can't kick them off in the carseat! I haven't heard any complaints about comfort from him either. They have held up through two sons and are a little faded from frequent washing but look all the cooler for it.More detail ...

A Great Shoe But You Have to Get Used to Them

I bought these for my 6 year old daughter. At first she did have a tough time getting them on however after a week or two of daily wear they slip on easily. The charm has broken off but really - who expected this to stay on with normal child's play? It would be totally unrealistic. We haven't experienced any loss of the "twinkles" on the toes or had an problems with the elasticity. I am definitely going to buy her another pair soon. She really loves them and they have held up under heavy play.More detail ...

Happy So Far

Just received these today. They fit true to size are well made and attractive for a boy on the foot. I like the color combo. He hasn't worn them yet but so far we like them. We have other Umi shoes and are very impressed with their quality and styling which is why I purchased these!More detail ...

Best summer shoes ever!

These shoes are everything I was looking for in summer shoes for my daughter (age 3). They're really soft on the inside so she can wear them without socks. They're cool and breathable but still have a closed toe. There's great traction on the bottom so she can run around wherever she wants and not fall down. She loves them and I am so glad I bought these shoes!!More detail ...

Newports are Keen

By far one of the most comfortable if not comfortable shoe or sandal I have ever owned. Now that summer is over and it is late Fall I find myself still wearing these even now that it is colder because they feel so good. I bought mine in May and it is November now. They really are tough to give up. Any reservations I had that they look funky evaporated when I wore them. If they do not feel right when you put them on you probably have the wrong size. Most people that buy Keens find that they need to buy a half size larger than they do with other shoes.



They have a wide toebox so that your toes are not cramped together and they are the first to come out with the protective toe guard. While other companies are starting to put toe guards on their shoes they are not designed to be both protective and completely comfortable like Keens. I never stub a toe or catch a toe on anything with these plus I can hide my ugly toes. It also has a little rise on the rear heel that cups your heel comfortably but also helps protect you against those people that step on the back of your foot. It feels very secure once it is on and does not slip. There are no straps to fool with or Velcro to adjust it has an inner lining that looks like the neoprene on a scuba suit it stretches to fit. It has a no lace closure and you set it once from then on it slips on easy. The metatomic footbed cradles my foot like no shoe I have ever seen. A feature I had not experienced before in any shoe is the little ridge on the inner sole that runs behind the toes and in between your big toe and other toes. The first time you feel it is a surprise but it turns out to add to the comfort of the shoe immensely. That ridge forms in a short time to your foot giving you your own custom fit. Keens shoes are invented by a doctor who studied the anatomy of the foot very closely and it shows. I hate to gush about this but the shape of this shoe inside and out gives me a sensation that the shoe is part of me and I can stand longer and walk longer... it makes me feel like running. I first saw these on some ultralight backpackers I met they swore by them.



It has an anatomical outer sole that is very grippy with a nice athletic shape it gives good traction on sand dirt boulders mud you name it. It is not slippery on the boat or dock and the sole does not leave any marks. It is made in such a way that it does not hold dirt in any grooves to track ion on my carpet either. It is great for water and you can wear it into the stream pool or sea. If it gets wet for some reason you don't feel it due to the material that wicks the water away. It has an anti-microbial treatment that takes away any germs.



The first Newport that came out has leather trim but it is officially waterproof. The newer Newport H2 is made of completely synthetic materials and it holds up better in the long run as far as repeated wettings and mud. When my H2's get dirty I throw them in the sink under the hose or even in the washer and they come out like new. I wore these almost daily for 4 months straight with no evidence of wear. This includes standing in line all day at theme parks and scrambling at the beach and lava rocks on Maui. These come in many colors. Keens makes other great shoes like the Providence boots clogs and tennis shoes. My other favorite sandals are for dressier occasions they are the black Rieker Anti-Stress Jens 09176 and the Dunham Moose Fisherman (actually designed by New Balance).

Excellent Sport Sandal - I'm a Fan for Life

I resisted for a while (years) while my wife raved about her Keen sandals. I like Tevas (Terra Fi 2) and have owned many pairs over the past 10 years. Love them for warm weather hiking around the water and general warm/wet conditions. But I finally gave these Keens a try after wearing out the soles of my Tevas.



The reviewers are right on. They feel like sneakers and I wear them all day with pleasure. These are a great buy. I'm going to buy another pair of Teva Terra Fi 2s also but I do love these Keens.



Pros:

- Rugged build

- Great traction (I think the Tevas are a little better but I hardly notice the difference - that's the key detail)

- I bought the mostly nylon (not leather) version (brown/bison) and they do dry quickly. My wife has the leather version and they're significantly slower to dry - overnight at least.

- Extremely comfortable to wear all day

- I never have to adjust these - they stay on my feet in all conditions with no worries

- Look good with everything

- There is a nice sense of comfort with that toe protector on the front

- Wide toe bed - very nice



Cons if I have to name some (certainly won't deter me from buying these again):

- In the sun the toe bed/cap does get hot on your toes if you hang out in direct sun for a while

- I agree with the other reviews (not necessarily on Amazon) that you'll read regarding the "funk". Yes these do get funky/smelly very quickly - much more quickly than my Tevas ever did. But hey they're outdoor sandals. Throw them into the washing machine or go swimming with them every 3-4 days and you're set.



The "funk" reputation worried me a little so I held off buying these but I can live with it. It's not as bad as I expected. And these are super comfortable!



Added after owning for six months:

I think the Teva Terra Fi 2 probably have a slight edge when it comes to rafting/boating because they dry in record time and you can really tighten them so they don't shift on your foot. So I'd give them a slightly higher score in terms of functionality for the very active or career outdoors folks.



Also I do get annoyed at the gravel that gets stuck in the toe bed of these - I can't shake it loose so I have to take them off and turn them upside down. This wasn't an issue with the Teva open toe design and I kind of miss those days. Last pet peeve: despite what my wife says (she has same kind of Keens) the tread just isn't as good as the Teva's. Conclusion I have to buy both for the forseeable future - they're both solid products and I won't give up either.



Latest and Last Update: the sole gave out in less than a year - literally pieces/chunks fell off. I'm back to Tevas and happier with the much more reliable tread. The Tevas dry much much faster also. I think the Keens are really for wearing when you want to pretend you're doing something active outdoors - they were fine for just walking.

My kid loves it every minute

This is my first one's third crocs... he loves it wearing this everyday just like the others he had before. The design is a little different than the infant ones as the ankle band is a little tighter than the sole size (which i think it's intended). Good product and definitely recommendable.More detail ...
