The most popular style of shoe made by the KEEN footwear company is no doubt the Newport H2 sandal. In this article, I plan to talk alot about the best aspects of the Newport H2, and try to convince you that it truly is an amazing shoe for water environments. Keep in mind that nearly all customer reviews on this shoe are positive, and it really seems to be popular with the outdoor crowd.
The most interesting aspect of this sandal is that is features a closed toe design. This is quite unique among the thousands of other types of sandals on the market. If you are the type that stubs your toes frequently in other sandals, then this sandal is made for you. A common thing that owners say is that it feels more like a shoe than a sandal, which I suppose is a good thing. The straps feel very good pressed against the top of your feet. Also, it is a breeze to tighten up the Newport H2, because it has laces which KEEN refers to as "shock cords".
Being a sandal, the KEEN Newport H2 is of course optimized for water environments. After coming out of the water with them, they dry off very fast which is a major plus. Nobody likes wet, soggy shoes. Another great aspect is that the soles of the Newports are quite sticky, so you shouldn't ever slide out of them. A few people have complained that the Newport H2 can start to smell a little funky after coming out of water, but what shoe wouldn't?.
Thanks to the KEEN Newport H2 having a toe cover in the front, these shoes can also be used for running or hiking. You can walk basically wherever you want with these shoes, since the bottoms have great traction. Because of my own experiences, and the many customer reviews around the internet, I have to conclude that the KEEN Newport is one of the best sandals on the market.
