I've been looking for a nice set of hiking / backpacking closed toe sandals which are water resistant and breathable for the past month or so. This model is highly rated and any other vendor has it for around $100. This is a closeout sale in Sierra has more items on sale as well. Free Shipping with $89+ purchase.
be careful in sizing, I've been wearing Keen's since 2003 and always got size 9s. Had to move to 9.5s and confirmed with Keen that they "modified" their sizing
I signed up for their email list and got a code for free shipping. Took about 1 1/2 hours for the code to arrive so I placed a new order and had them cancel my first one.
Supposed to be less bulky and lighter. Main complaints are about waterproof, they don't dry quickly once wet and stink.
Dang that sucks! Oh well gonna give them a good test and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up, as water resistance was a major deciding factor for me in this purchase. 🤦
I had problems with Newports falling apart, and the Keen rep said these were stronger. I'm sure they will last longer because I don't really like them. They may be better when dry, but when they get wet, they stay wet as the foam foot bed (which is comfortable when dry) seems to absorb a lot of water and dry slowly.
Next pair will probably be Newports again and hope the sides don't blow out once more.
I own these and the H2s. I like these much better. Lighter and better looking. Someone in this thread said they are ugly, but I think they look freaking cool. I use them as an everyday shoe. In the spring / summer, I wear them without socks. In the fall / winter, they look cool with socks too. Just make sure you don't wear white socks with them, lol!
Will pass on this. Sandals that don't dry easily are a nightmare with retaining water and smelling.
Just wanted to add that there are some nice deals on other stuff in their clearance section. Clarks Rockports Merrells, and some really sexy looking La Sportiva, Salomons, and even Pearl Izumis and other technical brands.
Great price, I have these and love them. They have a sturdier build than the newports and if anything are a bit bulkier than newports. Great summer walking sandal, not my first choice for hiking in water though. These have a more comfortable foot bed than the Newport.
To them poster who thinks these are ugly, this type of sandal design is massively popular for over 10 years and is basically the entire reason that keen even exists... They sell like crazy.
Look fine to me. Ordered a pair. Wish I could get free shipping.
I got free shipping because it was my first order from them. A free code offer appeared as a dropdown while I shopped. I put in my email and a code arrived about a half hour later in my inbox.
