 Written on September 11, 2007 Summary: Love these Shoes Got a great deal on the shoes. Have wanted a pair for about a year but could not make myself pay the $100.00 retail price. Finding them for 40% off helped me to finally purchase a pair. Boy am I ever happy! I have worn these now for about three weeks almost every day (I took 2 days off for some big appointments at work). Great build. Super comfort. Ventilation! Whatever they do to control odor really works. So far the have been worn in the office, to (and in) the lake, wading in the creek, in a rain storm (finally) and around the house. I really love these shoes! I agree with the others' comments about ordering a 1/2 size larger that your normal size. I followed their advise and it was jussssssssssssssst right. I am now a huge Keen fan. Written on August 14, 2007 Summary: 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. Written on July 10, 2007 Summary: These shoe/sandals rock!!! These are perhaps the best shoe I have ever bought. Accordingly, they ARE the best sandals I have ever bought. You might think they look funny, and they do, but once you slip your feet into them it won't matter. Awesome.  Written on May 6, 2007 Summary: fade is correct I like the shoes don't get me wrong. They look great and are comfortable. But, the big problem is the cheap dye comes off on your feet when you wear them. I get blue dye on my feet and it's worse when you wear socks with them. The shoes didn't even get wet and I wasn't sweating. I guess this will eventually fade (pun intended) but I never had a pair of shoes that did this. Keen should be ashamed of themselves and offer these shoes at a much lower price! Written on July 14, 2006 Summary: One of the greatest shoes ever! This purchase was a gift for my husband. He and I have owned Keens since the day they came on the market! WE LOVE THEM. This pair is his 3rd pair and he could not be more happy with them. They are the perfect shoe for everything from river hiking, to dry land hiking, to a day in the city, to a day at the park! They are comfortable and oh so reliable. Keen Newport H2's are a must for just about everyone! (can you tell I really dig these shoes, hehee) |
