These sandals are not just footwear; they are a versatile solution designed specifically for the active woman who refuses to compromise between protection and breathability. Whether you are navigating rocky shorelines, hiking through wet creek beds, or exploring a new city on a warm day, the Newport series provides the durability and support you need. This model acts as a perfect hybrid, offering the ruggedness of a sneaker with the ventilation of a sandal, ensuring your feet stay cool, dry, and protected regardless of the terrain. With KEEN's commitment to comfort and quality, these sandals are poised to become your go-to choice for all your outdoor escapades.

Advanced Water Resistance

Embrace the elements with sandals built to perform in and out of the water. The upper features quick-dry synthetic straps combined with a specialized hydrophobic lining that actively manages moisture. This water-resistant construction ensures that your feet won't stay soggy after a dip in the lake or a sudden downpour. By facilitating rapid drying, these sandals help prevent the blisters and discomfort that often accompany wet footwear. The materials are robust enough to handle saltwater, mud, and dirt, making them an ideal companion for kayaking, canoeing, or amphibious hiking. You can transition seamlessly from water activities to land trails without needing to change your shoes.

Customizable Comfort and Fit

Experience the perfect blend of convenience and security with the innovative slip-on design. KEEN has integrated a lace lock bungee capture system that allows you to dial in the fit to your exact preference. This ensures the sandals stay firmly on your feet during movement, preventing the slipping and sliding common in lesser footwear. Underfoot, the compression-molded underfoot support provides enhanced cushioning that absorbs shock and impact. This technology cradles the foot, offering superior stability and reducing fatigue on long hikes. Whether you are walking for hours or standing for extended periods, the support system ensures your feet remain energized and pain-free throughout the day.

Superior Traction and Safety

Tackle slippery and uneven terrain with confidence thanks to the advanced outsole design. The multi-directional lugs are engineered to provide biting grip on loose dirt and gravel, while the specific razor siping on the sole helps channel water away to prevent hydroplaning on wet surfaces. This makes the sandals incredibly stable on boat decks, slick rocks, and muddy paths. Additionally, the non-marking rubber outsole is designed with sensitivity to your surroundings, leaving no imprint on boat decks or indoor floors. For added peace of mind, the iconic KEEN toe bumper offers a robust shield against stubs and impacts, protecting your toes from unseen obstacles on the trail.

Precision Fit and Easy Maintenance

Finding the right size is effortless as these sandals run true to size, offering a consistent fit that hugs the foot comfortably. The interior features a non-removable footbed equipped with added arch support, promoting natural foot alignment and comfort during active use. When your adventures lead to dirty gear, maintenance is simple. KEEN water sandals are conveniently machine washable. Just use a small amount of detergent, wash them on a gentle cycle, and let them air dry. This easy care routine ensures your sandals look fresh and perform at their best for every season.
