FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
Yes, the KEEN Newport sandals are suitable for light to moderate hiking, especially on trails that may involve water crossings. They offer good traction and support, but are not designed for extreme rugged terrain requiring heavy ankle support.
How do I adjust the fit of the laces?
The sandals feature a lace lock bungee capture system. Simply pull the toggle to tighten the laces for a secure fit, and press the button on the toggle to release and loosen them.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?
Yes, the quick-dry lining and durable materials are suitable for saltwater use. It is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after saltwater exposure and air dry them thoroughly.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently brush the leather with a soft, damp sponge to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for leather. Always air dry away from heat.
Do these sandals run true to size?
The product information states they run true to size, with KEEN Original fit offering generous space across the forefoot. If you are between sizes or have a narrow foot, you may wish to consider trying them on if possible.
What is the main difference between this model and others like the Newport H2?
The main difference is the material of the upper. This model features an environmentally preferred leather upper, while the Newport H2 typically has a polyester webbing upper, making it fully water-friendly and quicker to dry.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The KEEN Original fit is known for providing generous space across the forefoot, which generally accommodates wider feet well. The adjustable bungee system also allows for a customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Slipping even on wet surfaces
Ensure the lace lock bungee system is tightened sufficiently for a secure fit. Clean the outsole of any debris that might be lodged in the grooves.
Discomfort due to fit
Adjust the lace lock bungee system for a personalized fit. Due to the KEEN Original fit with generous forefoot space, consider if a different model might suit a narrower foot if significant looseness persists.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner suitable for outdoor footwear after cleaning and drying. Ensure the sandals are fully dry before conditioning.
Odor development after use
Clean the sandals regularly as per care instructions. Allow them to air dry thoroughly between uses. Sprinkle baking soda inside the sandals overnight to absorb odors.
