"Excellent walking / hiking sandals, solid and reassuring construction with good soles and toe protection. Leather uppers are very comfortable in the heat and a half size larger fits well."

"This is my second pair of Newport Bison. However, this pair has survived and surpassed its previous pair. Why? I took them on my Sicilian holiday, where I used them to climb a 500 meter assent, over 4km, 2 days after Mt Etna’s most recent eruption. They are extremely comfortable, versatile and rugged."

"I've bought this shoe every year or two for 10 years. I wear them almost everyday and they last. Most comfortable shoe I've ever had. I hope keen never stops selling them."

"I have worn the Newport Leather year round since they began selling them. I have owned probably 20 pair. They usually last about a year. They always come apart in the same place, where the back strap meets the heel. I always have a second pair ready knowing this is going to happen. My last pair lasted way less time than expected. I do like the shoe so I keep buying them. Also they are available in large sizes which are hard to find in other shoes"

"Over the years I have had many styles of Keens. From H2O sandals to hiking boots & shoes. But over the past few years my sandal are not holding up to casual use. straps breaking, the back heal completely pulling out from sole. Again not from hard use! Please keen step up the design and quality. Thank you"

"I am on my (3rd) spring/summer season with these KEEN Newport Leather Sandals & just finished cleaning/conditioning the leather. I also took a lighter & burned all the frays, just to give my sandals a more clean appearance. I wear my KEEN's for everyday wear & although I do wear other type shoes depending on occasion, I have found that my KEEN Newport sandals take me to more places/events during the spring/summer season's than any other pair of shoes I own!"
