I finally have to replace my first pair of Newport h2 after 3 year of abuse . they be the perfect sandal for wade in small stream , hike in the desert , and casual wear . I have especially be impress with how durable the material be and how well the antimicrobial material work . they really do not stink after hike in they for a day . I be a bigger guy , so I usually go through shoe quickly . I really abuse these and they last for 3 year . if you like to hike or fish small stream , these sandal be perfect . they be durable and stay on you foot without stretch when they get wet . the toe be sturdy and protect toe from hidden underwater boulder . the sole be pretty grippy , so it help climb over slippery rock . the only comlaint I have about my last pair be they seem a lot wider than marked . it look like Keen have resolve this because these be true to size .
