I was looking for a good hiking sandal for my trip to Kauai later this year. I wanted something that had toe protection and was not completely hideous. I found this shoe and read various reviews from a variety of sites and decided to try it. I read that it ran about a half size small so ordered up to an 8.5. Just got the shoe yesterday and wore it, without socks, on our dog walk. Our walk goes through an undeveloped area in the desert. I walked over cement, dirt, loose rock, up hill and down and it was perfect the first time out. No blisters, great arch support, very comfortable. I have the Canton Bayou which is a pretty aqua color. In addition to all this, this shoe is washable. Can't say enough good things about it or the Appalachian Ski and Outdoors store that actually carries the shoe.

I have tried on numerous keen sandles. I love the Newport H2!! I have a narrow foot and was thrilled to find a sandle that I didn't slosh around in. I did have to go up a half size as they seemed a little short. I ordered the Venice and expected to love it as well but when I tried it on it is quite a bit wider than the newport. I must admit I didn't like the look of it as well as the Newport either. If you have a wider foot go for it but for those of us with narrow feet forget it.

this is my second pair of keen sandals and they are excellent - comfortable to wear and sturdy - my first pair is still going strong
