I have worn little other than my Keen Newports or Newport H2's for the past few years (maybe 5 years)

I've played baseball, hiked, canoe tripped, biked, ran a 10k in my Newports...I just love em.  I have several Keen dress shoes...but still haven't found that nice "no binding/just right" level of comfort with plenty of support and control for whatever I am doing.

I wear them with wool socks in winter...and catch crap for it from the wife...but I do it anyway.  Then I stumbled upon these. WOW! I now have 2 pair of these as I am afraid they may change them (I have 7 pairs of Newports and H'2 put up in the attic in case they change those)  I get around 2 years of wear out of my newports before they become just totally destoyed....and since i won't be wearing these but maybe 4 months out of the year (instead of basically 12) then I think these should last for a decade or so from each pair of these I have.

Keen boots stink - too stiff and heavy - and I LOVE how I can just wash out my newports, H2's or these in the sink and they are dry in the morning - and no stink if I use a little dish soap.

I have super wide feet in 13's - so that's why i love keen sandals - and I can't stand tight binding shoes or heavy boots with stiff uppers and ankle parts...I like the ability to move my ankle freely - I think that actually makes for a better hiking shoe for me.

anyway, I love 'em.  I still may buy another pair to put up we'll see.  I know I am getting close to have my own lifetime supply of Keen's!
