Lowest Price Keen Newport H2

I used to wear Teva sandals with the Spider sole, which was the best for climbing around wet granite creaks in the Southern Sierra north of Lake Isabella. The soles of other sandals and boots did not grip as well, and slipping there is dangerous. In the Summer of 2009 I wore Keen Newport H2 sandals, and they were as good as the Spider sole on the Tevas. The Keen is more protective because of the toe guard, and about the same for picking up and then releasing sand and pebbles between my foot and the sandal upper. The Keen lasted five or six months, I wore them all the time when I was not at work. On hikes, walks in the neighborhood and on the beach, as a casual shoe in Winter with a liner sock. Good on wet concrete and pavement, too. The tread wore out and the balls of my feet made such a deep indentation in the upper that there was not enough cushioning any more. The rest of the sandal was still in great shape, no thread problems for me. By the way, I always left the "tie" in its most loose position, except in creeks. I will replace them when the local REI restocks in Spring 2010. Till then, Crocs in the city and at the beach. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, but not shoes.Get more detail about Keen Newport H2.
