Keen Newport Waterproof Sandal - Men's

I'm thrilled they are making wides. Sometimes in the late teens something changed and I they were no longer fitting me. So while these fit the opening is too small. Granted I'm a big guy wearing 13s but the open should scale. In order to wear mine I needed to cut the "sock" at the top. Now my ankle isn't being choked. A little more breathing room here would be great .

Most comfortable sandal I've ever had! Glad I have them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a pair of these for 15 years and they finally gave out. Replaced them with the new wide version and they fit true to size. Like the extra room across the bridge of my feet. Thanks for finally making these I a wide version!

I’ve worn theses Newport leather sandals (this exact type) for more than a decade. I finally needed to replace them. When the new sandals arrived, I discovered that I could not get my feet into them. My current pair slip on and off easily. But the new pair has a much tighter opening due to a change in the elastic inner web. It is far too tight now to admit entrance to the sandal. I don’t want to take a pair of scissors to the elastic material to make a wider opening for fear it will lead to other problems. So sadly, I now have to return these and say goodbye to ever wearing this type of sandal again. Come on Keen, why did you do that? Tightening the pull cord is more than sufficient to keep the sandals snug. Why did you make what feels like a size 8 opening in a size 12 shoe?

Ever since I found these sandals and ordered them I felt in love with the way they look, the protection it offers plus the freedom because of the way the straps are separated HOWEVER, I have very WIDE feet and to enter my foot through the opening was almost impossible because the opening is not too flexible or stretchy. At the end, after trying so many times to stretch them out, I had to return them. I wish they consider using a more stretchy/flexible material to allow actual wide feet enjoy the comfort and look these sandals seem to offer…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing this exact sandal for nearly 30 years now - too long count. It has been great. The recent purchase however has been a challenge. The sizing (Made in India) is quite different from the previous sandals. I think the build and materials are probably superior to previous versions, but I have struggled to get a good fit. In my shoe closet are a half-dozen Keen shoes, this is the 1st time I have been remotely disappointed. The opening for SIZE 13 W barely, barely allows room to get them on. ALL other Keens in my closet are size 12.

The wetsuit material (neoprene) that lines the inside top and sides of the sandals is too warm and causes my feet to sweat. Also, in the toe box, the inside sole is textured, so it grabs the skin of my large toe's fleshy pad, causing a blister.

So I have foot issues. I'm a woman that wears a men's 9 in most good shoe brands. Using the 'find my size' tool on the website, I should wear a 9 in these too. Not so much. A regular men's 9 is SUPER narrow in these so I had to go through the hassle of reordering. The wide size is comfy right out of the box, but the shoes are heavy. Plus they should come with a Sharpie to black out the ridiculous caution logo on the rubber fronts. It's embarrassing and wholly unnecessary. I used a marker to make it as least noticeable as possible. It's the best you can do honestly. If I could dig it out completely without compromising the shoes, I absolutely would. But you cant. But for my feet to not hurt, I'll deal with a little bit of what I assume to be decorative nonsense.
