KEEN Men's Newport Sandal

Quelle paire de sandales ! Après des milliers de kilomètres et quinze années de bons et loyaux services, je me suis résolu à recoller la semelle gauche de la dite sandale et à en commander une nouvelle paire. Reçue très rapidement par Amazon pour un prix inférieur de 30 euros à ma première paire de 2005, je l'ai aussitôt sortie de la boîte en carton. Cette paire, de couleur "bison" est jolie et fonctionnelle. Les sandales chaussées dans la foulée, sont tout de suite très confortables et douces avec la peau. Quelques centaines de mètres parcourues me confirment que leur solidité et leur parfait chaussant sont toujours présents. Un peu plus serrées, car neuves, que mes anciennes un peu élargies, elles n'attendent plus qu'une chose : "bouffer" du kilomètre. Néanmoins, elles devront attendre que ma réparation lâche sur les premières ! Je recommande vraiment ce produit sans aucune restriction, que ce soit en zone climatique chaude (testé pendant un séjour de 3 ans au Sénégal) ou au bivouac après une journée de marche (testé sur plusieurs sentiers type GR).

Product arrived on time and exactly as expected. My second pair of these sandals - comfortable, durable - highly recommend them

Quality: Very sturdy, high quality, well made sandals. Comfortable to wear right from the start and for long periods at a time, these Keen Newport H2 sandals provide additional protection via the closed toe front whilst still being sufficiently 'airy' in design to let your feet breath in hot conditions. The materials used appear to be of high quality and waterproof so that you can walk through streams, puddles or into the shallows of the sea when at the beach, without water damaging these sandals. The sole is particularly sturdy, offering excellent support and protection in all the right places including heels, foot arches and toes for when walking long distances or across uneven terrain. I also found the under sole grips to be good in wet, slippery and uneven underfoot conditions. Style: Robust, built for purpose. Available in several colour options to suit a range of tastes. However, if you are looking for more flimsy, lightweight and delicate boutique style sandals to wear as a fashion statement, then these might not be for you. Comfort: Comfortably (pun intended) the best sandals I have ever owned. Sizing: I am invariably a size 9 (EU 43) for all types of footwear and so that is the size I bought in this instance, despite some of the observations posted on other reviews to buy them one shoe size bigger than normal, and they fitted me perfectly. Price / Value for money: I bought these sandals in June 2014 from Amazon for £53. If the current price online is anywhere up around their normal RRP of £80 and you aren't in any particular hurry to buy them, then simply pop these items into your 'Save for Later' list on Amazon and wait for the price to drop, which it will. However, if you can't wait for that bargain to appear, then even at full RRP these sandals are decent value for the high quality and comfort they offer. Overall: These Keen NEWPORT H2 sandals are a genuine five start product that have prompted me to write this review, the first of any kind I have ever felt inclined to write in relation to a product I have purchased online. Whether for holidaying abroad in hot, sunny conditions, or for walking the beaches and coastal paths of the UK, or even for use on more testing terrain, I would highly recommend these sandals as an excellent choice for almost anyone.

Ich habe diese Wandersandalen schon zum zweiten Mal gekauft. Ein toller Wanderschuh für leichte Wanderungen im Sommer.
