I bought my first pair of Keen Newport<\/a> sandals when they first came on the market back in 2003. The moment I put them on I new my search for the perfect sport sandal was over. The newports have a wide toe box perfect for my boat like feet, excellent traction for hiking the trails and also walking over slick wet rocks and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. After eight years of wearing my Keen Newports I figured it was time to upgrade. For someone who wears through shoes very quickly I’m absolutely amazed at how these sandals have held up. Aside from the tread on the sole being totally bare the footbed, straps and overall condition are still great. <\/p>\n

When I first bought my keens I never intended to hike as much as I do in them, I bought them for light hikes, kicking around town an overall summertime shoe. With these hot summer days I do all my long and short hikes in my Newport’s so I thought it was time for an upgrade. I decided to go for the Keen Owyhee <\/a>sandal. So far I absolutely love them!! <\/p>\n

The Owyhee’s are a little different from the newport’s I bought eight years ago. They have the same general strap construction but are considerably lighter than my old pair. They also have heel support instead of just a single strap which has been nice on my longer hikes feels more like a hiking shoe. <\/p>\n

They also have nice traction I’m not sliding down hills anymore, they’ve been great on the trail and wet rocks. <\/p>\n

Bottom line is I’m extremely happy with my new Keen Owyhee sandals they are great on the trails, comfortable, and also pretty stylish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an alternative to light hikers in the summer. <\/p>\n
