User Review: Keen Newport

Keen Newport
Above: The current Newport, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Use: Hiking, fishing, lounging, after hike shoe
Price Paid: around $90

I really like the Newport sandal but I would go with the H2 instead. I own both and the regular Newports don't keep their shape very well. After six month or so of solid use they became stretched out and now cause me blisters on longer hikes. I have demoted them to hanging around the house and take my H2s into battle.

Despite the "Antibacterial" Odor resistant footbed these puppies will stink after a long hike. Also not a problem with the H2s. The solution to the stinking problem is to spray them with rubbing alcohol before and after you wear them. If you are going to buy get the H2.
