User Review: Keen Men's Newport H2

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $85

Comfortable, but not dependable, and not worth the price. Considering this is the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought, I wasn't impressed. The first pair's soft outersole ripped when it came in contact with a door. Apparently not geared towards wearing in outdoor environments, if it can't handle getting smacked by a door. The sole also started to split on the seam.

I was using these sandals to jog around nature trails through dusty/damp/muddy conditions. They started to split after about a week and a half. The second pair did the same. If you plan to do more than sit around and sport "extreme" outdoor gear, don't get these.

All the employees at the store said this was the shoe for me, if I was going to run around in wet conditions. They claimed they've taken these shoes to the extremes, but I didn't even leave the city limits and they couldn't hold up.
