Keen Newport H2 Men's Water Sandals — Black, Polyester Upper, Rubber Outsole, EVA Midsole

Keen Newport H2 Men's Water Sandals combine the ventilation of a sandal with the toe protection of a closed shoe. The polyester webbing upper is washable and quick-drying, while the EVA midsole and rubber outsole offer cushioning and durable traction for wet and mixed terrain. The design includes KEEN.Protect toe coverage and an anatomically shaped Metatomical footbed for arch support and natural foot cradle.

Advantages

The washable polyester upper dries quickly and resists abrasion from rocks and saltwater. The rubber outsole features razor siping for enhanced grip on wet surfaces, and the EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning. KEEN.Protect construction wraps the outsole over the toes for added impact protection, and the Metatomical footbed supports the arch and aligns the foot for comfortable all-day wear.

Suitable for

• Hiking and walking on trails near rivers, lakes, and coastal areas
• Boating, kayaking and other on-water activities
• Beach use and rocky shorelines
• Everyday summer wear where breathability and quick drying are useful

When it may not be suitable

These water sandals are not intended for heavy backpacking or technical mountain climbing where full ankle support and a rugged, high-cut boot are required. They also provide less thermal insulation than closed hiking boots, so they are not ideal for cold-weather use.

Key specifications

• Upper material: polyester webbing (washable, quick-drying)
• Midsole: EVA for lightweight cushioning
• Outsole: durable rubber with razor siping for wet traction
• Toe protection: KEEN.Protect wrap-around outsole
• Footbed: Metatomical anatomical support for arch and heel cradle
• Intended use: water activities, beach, casual outdoor hiking

How to use

Adjust the bungee/strap system for a secure, comfortable fit before entering water. Rinse the sandals after exposure to saltwater or sand and allow them to air dry. Use them for shoreline hikes, boat decks, and beach walks; the grip and toe protection help on wet and uneven surfaces.

What to consider before purchase

• Choose your usual hiking or sandal size; fit may vary slightly by foot shape
• Consider intended use—not recommended for technical climbing or cold-weather trekking
• Check for a secure fit to prevent slipping in wet conditions

Usage recommendations

For best performance, rinse after saltwater exposure, air dry away from direct heat, and use on wet or mixed terrain where breathability, quick drying, and toe protection are priorities.
