the Newport h2 's be the best sandal I have ever worn . I have have a pair of the Bison for four year and they still look almost new . I have hike through muddy river , carry a pack and a canoe through a over grown portage in the BWCA , and still wear they on a night out on the town when I get back . they be simply the most comfortable and versatile sandal out there . I have to admit when I first get they four year ago , I come from open towed sandal and think these be a little hot . but after a month break in period , they loosen to the point where they nice and airy when the bungee be loose , but snug and glue to my foot when pull tight . I basically have worn these everyday when not at work for four year and finely just order the black color to change up the look a little . once you go keen , it very hard to find another shoe that fit the same .
