This is one of the most popular KEEN models every year, and with good reason. Despite the high expectations that come with a high price tag, it did not disappoint. It was one of the more expensive options that we tested in our research and testing process, but had great performance in terms of comfort, quality, durability, and foot protection. The KEEN Newport H2 is a high-end water sandal for hiking. We tested everything from ankle-deep water to waves that went up to our waist. This allowed us to test how the shoes performed with resistance from water and waves. This was to test the impact of the sole, and how well it cushioned and protected against sharper objects.įinally, we did a bit of walking and swimming in the Atlantic itself. Then, we walked a half mile on wetter, more hard-packed sand with a good number of shells and small pebbles. Next, we walked into the ocean to test how well the water washed the sand out of the inside of the shoes, and how well the show drained of water afterwards. We were also checking to see how well we were able to walk in these shoes in the quick-sand type terrain. The purpose of this was to see how well the sand "drained" out of the nooks and crannies of the shoes. This was a three-part process, similar to the testing for the KEEN Newport in our guide on shoes for plantar fasciitis.įirst, we walked a half mile in deep sugar sand near the dunes of the beach area. One of our favorite places to enjoy the wonders of the Atlantic Ocean is Little Talbot Island State Park.
