I be a camper , bike rider and kayakar . most of my weekend I spend in various national park across NSW , Australia . originally I buy a pair of hus Tech and then a pair of Salomon for my January break . the intention be to carry just one pair of footwear that will be versatile enough to tackle mountain , bushland , marsh , sand and salt water . the hus Tech one be light but not tough enoguht and no toe cover . the Salomon -lrb- Techamphibian 3 -rrb- be a little too harsh i.e. not cushiony enough in the inside cause I a little blistery . then this keen Newport one arrive out of the blue , 10 day earlier than the expect delivery -lrb- thanks Amazon !! faster than most aussie online store -rrb- . excite I put the pair on and literally I have not take they off over last three week . the pair hug my foot through a 150km rugged MTB trail between Ulladulla and Jarvis bay -lrb- nsw south coast -rrb- multiple surfing and suping trip to the beach and lake , shopping centre , really wet tent setup and pack up . this pair literaly hug my foot . neoprene interior be nice and comfy and I could wear it despite 3\/4 cut -lrb- from snorkele in shell infested bay -rrb- on my toe -lrb- with bandaid of course -rrb- . the sole be tough and structure like my shimano bike sandal and the grip\/traction be excellent !! I do wear it at work -lrb- legal due to toe cover -rrb- in very hot australian summer day -lrb- mercury hit 47 last week -rrb- . my female camper colleague be so overwhelm by my constant eulogy of Keen Newport that she order a pair from Amazon last week . I strongly recommend this pair for all-terain multi-outdoor activity .
