Newport Bison Leather Sandal -Mens

Comment: Once it gets warm enough I wear my Keens all the time - walking, hiking, near the water, around the house, in the garden, out to dinner, on the plane, everywhere! They are comfy, tough, easy to clean, stylish and perfect for everything I do. Get some! This pair I bought were for my dad - the best gift I could think of! I've had and loved mine for 3 years now.

Comment: Nice looking pair of sandals. You need to wear them a bit before they conform to your foot, but overall I have been pleased. They look as though they will last for a long time.

Comment: My husband loves this shoe I ordered for him. It fits him really well and it is very comfortable.

Comment: This is basically the Keen Newport H2 sandal with the nylon straps but done in suede leather. Next to the H2's, this is my favorite sandal and the H2's possibly my favorite shoe ever. I slightly prefer the nylon to the suede since my Keens get heavy use and when they get dirty, you can just hose off the nylon ones and they're clean again. No fuss, no muss. But the suede ones are a little dressier and they look a bit nicer.

These Keen sandals are just worlds ahead of the competition. The protective rubber toe is very practical, and the adaptive and supportive sole (Keens were designed by a doctor who studied the foot to design them) is the most comfortable I've ever tried in a sandal, and probably in any shoe. Plus the Keen toe area is wide enough for my triple EEE foot. I'm not a super wide foot, but my feet are wide enough so that many of the other commercial shoes on the market rub just enough to be irritating, and the Keens don't do that.

The Keens have an extra thick heel which provides more arch support, too. Unlike other sandals which tend to have a flat sole that doesn't provide any support, these are more like regular shoes with arch support and a raised heel.

I wear these almost every day, even in winter, when I just wear warmer socks they're so comfortable. Every time they go on sale at REI for 20% off or so, I buy several more pairs just to make sure I have enough for the next ten years. I'm assuming that in ten years either Keen or someone else will make a better sandal, but I'm not even sure about that these are so good. If they ever do stop making these and I can't find anything as good, I know I'm going to be kicking myself that I didn't buy 20 year's worth.

Last but not least, they wear well and since I started buying them two years ago I've only worn out one pair. Overall just a great sandal and a great shoe and you can see from the other reviews here that I'm not the only one who raves about them.

Comment: I hardly ever write reviews of products, but I just had to take a couple of minutes here to say that these are incredible shoes. I'm about to order my second pair here at Amazon, because after two years of wearing these on a daily basis I am finally in need of a new pair. And when I say daily, I mean that have likely worn these more than 600 days since I bought them for my trip to Europe in 2007. They are handsome and unbelievably durable. I wear them while renovating my home in Costa Rica, throw them in the laundry, and they seem to come out like new every time. And even after two years of daily abuse, I'm very comfortable wearing them with jeans and going out.

Negatives? Personally I hope they don't change a thing.
