The anti-fashion icon, with its amphibious cage-like design, is now more comfortable and easier to deal with than ever. The Newport sandals from Keen were meant for pure utilitarian purposes, a highly comfortable piece of footwear that also gave you duck-like abilities, in case your hike took your feet from rocks and dirt to an unavoidable stream or riverbed.
The Keen Newport Slides infuse that very model with slipper-like backlessness. Mercifully, you won’t have to bend over to stretch the shoe collar to let your heel in. What hasn’t changed? This anti-odor slide still has that adjustable drawstring, meaning that backlessness doesn’t compromise the Newport’s strapped-in security.
