Keen is aware of sole separation problem
Loved my Keens. Thought they were bullet-proof. Then they let me down at Lake Tahoe – the sole separated from upper. Literally fell off. Lots of life left in both the upper and the sole. And guess what? KEEN, as they posted on their website, KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM: “Believe it or not, your shoes require a little love in order to work properly! If the adhesive used in the outsole is not flexed or used regularly, the bond can dry and crack, especially in certain climates. This can cause the sole to de-laminate.” Keen does not EVEN offer repairs but suggests using Barge Cement to DIY. Frustrated!!
Strap to footbed stitching and glue giving out
Just 2 years old and only used in the summer and the rear strap where it attaches to the footbed is coming unglued and unstitched. Used to think of Keen's as bullet-proof and long-lasting, but I fear that the desire to make added profit has led them to lower design standards. That's really too bad.
Try another brand
Have never owned a pair of keen shoes which have not had the stitching fail long before the shoe was worn out
great, but....
So, most people love these shoes. In many ways they are great, but there is a major flaw to this style of shoe that I can't get past. These shoes act like a one way valve for rocks and gravel. Everything can get in, but nothing can get out. I walk across gravel all the time, and every time, ricks get sucked up into these shoes. Unlike chacos or tevas, you can't just shake the rocks out, instead you have to take the shoe off. It seems to me, if you want sandals, go for sandals. If you want toe coverage and good grip around your foot, just wear regular shoes. That said, these are really nice for boating.
Falling apart after SIX DAYS!! Never again
Bought for a raft trip in remote South America. They were brand new on Day 1. Stitching on back side strap started to fail, and strap was disintegrating by DAY 6! on a raft trip, which means you're not exactly hiking for hours every day. You can imagine how impossible it is to find replacement footwear on a long, remote trip. This will be our last pair of Keens - every previous pair has failed in exactly the same way, but at least we got more time out of the previous pairs.
Poor Quality
Love the design, and hiked through the soles in 2 other pairs over 20 years. My last pair only lasted 1.5 years, and both soles detached on the same hike. I ended up having to hike back w/o soles. I fear the quality of the shoes have deteriorated. I tried customer service, as I believe the adhesive was defective, and they essentially shrugged and suggested I fix them myself.
Travel the world
I had a pair of these a few years ago and they served me well on a trip to Kenya. I stayed with some Masaai and walked all over the savanna. They were comfortable, easy to clean, and were very good for wet and dry conditions. Very nice for hot weather, and crossing streams when necessary. I wore them to India two years ago. They were perfect for sight-seeing in a hot country. I left them behind, thinking that one day I will return. But, I missed them, and now I've replaced them. It's springtime, and I am going outside in all weather. They are good in Seattle because they are simply made for rain. I bought a second pair for a friend.
Nice but poor quality
This is the second pair in under a year these have completely broken down in two months. Both sandals have come apart first the stitching then the soles have separated.
Great till the Warranty ran out
At just after one year the stitching came out on the outside ankle of both shoes. This has happened before and I hoped it was a fluke. I love the shoes otherwise but I hate planned functional obsolescence. I don't want to buy another pair because the rest of the shoe is still good. I can pay to have them fixed which is a waste of money and time. Basically I hate being in this position AGAIN. Does anyone make products to last anymore?!
Newport H2 Sandals hard put on, others fall apart
This model of the Newport Sandals the H2 looks great. I've owned a couple other earlier pairs of Newports so I like the look and feel. This pair has one problem, it is very hard to squeeze your heel in past the back strap. I jam my feet all the way forward as possible with the laces totally loosen. I takes a good 2 minutes to get my left foot in, and 1 minute for the right foot. I never had this problem with other Newports. I think it has to do with the nylon webbing used in the Sandals, it doesn't give at all, unlike what material to use on the other Newport sandals. It is come for once I get it on, I just can't get the shoe loose enough squeeze my heel into it quickly or easily. I was thinking it would loosen up over time, that hasn't happened, and is now past the return date. My other 2 current KEENs just fell victim to what has befell my other pairs of KEENs I have owned, "sand" which works it way into the seams that hold the bottom of the sandals on and opens them up. They end up flopping, and I have to try to glue them back on. I love KEENs sandals, I like the way they protect your toes, they just don't seem to hold up over time. They should not fall apart.
