KEENMen's Newport H2 Sandal

~~~Updated to elevate to '5' rating to reflect quality of shoes - my review is to forewarn others with similar shoe allergy problems - yes there are many of us.It is rare I post a review here on the Amazon platform but I want to communicate my most recent KEEN experience.Normally I am a KEEN shoe champion, having purchased several dozen pairs (between my wife and I). About a decade ago I was looking for shoes that were made without traditional glues and adhesives as I have severe reaction (aka dermatitis/blisters/etc.). Not only am/was challenged with allergy, I wear a size 15 (49), making the sourcing of shoes I could wear successfully more difficult. I discovered KEEN shoes and have had great experiences with them, until now.I began wearing them as I always do with a new pair and discovered to my horror and great disappointment I had developed blisters/dermatitis (I know it was these shoes as the pattern of the dermatitis was the same as these shoes).It appears these shoes were manufactured (in Cambodia) using glue/adhesives, based on my skin reaction. So, if you experience similar challenges with allergies etc., be forewarned that your next pair might result in similar experiences.This may or may not now be part of KEEN's manufacturing process in order to streamline or "improve" customer satisfaction, they would have to explain and be transparent.Disappointed...extremely so (although I have since purchased a pair of KEEN canvas shoes).

Awesome for walking in the creek. The souls are extremely well made. Durable and long lasting

I have two pairs of Keen hiking boots and I like the brand. Got these for a great price and absolutely love them! Roomy In the toe box and snug enough so my foot doesn’t slip around. Easy on/off speed lace thing too!

I have several pair of the Newport H2 sandals in Men's 9. These fit just like the rest of them. I have no problem getting them on & off.

Had some of these for quite a few years and decided to upgrade to a new pair. Having size 12 to 13 feet it's always tricky to find things that fit well. I have had to make slight adjustments to make these fit just right. I have looked around shops and not found any others I like as much as these.Don't use for hiking, just for all casual day wear in the summer.I always spray the with a bit of rain shoe protector.GoodRoom on the toe areaComfortable to wear all dayNever given blisters or rubbed, even from newLike the styleRugged and good gripNever seem to smell even after a full day's wearBADno adjuster on the back to fine tuneI have had to pull the back strap in and sew it , otherwise my little toes catches on the gap at the front.
