From the historic Newport sandal, with toe protection, the version designed for use in an aquatic environment or in wet conditions.

KEEN’s most renowned sandal traces its origins back to the first model created by the company, the Newport, designed to offer optimal protection on the toe and therefore chosen in particular by those who like to venture outdoors. Today, Newport is offered in an “H2” version, because it is designed for use in an aquatic environment or in wet conditions. The upper, made of PFC-free polyester, is in line with the brand’s sustainability values: it is water-repellent, easily washable and quick-drying.

The non-marking rubber outsole provides perfect traction and grip on the ground even on wet ground.
