KEENMen's Clearwater CNX Sandal

I bought these for a trip to east Asia and my partner also bought the womens version and were very happy with them.They kept our feet cool while exploring the citys, handled and wet conditions very well while also providing stability and durability for hiking. They don't feel like you are wearing a sandal and we didn't have any problems of small stones or anything going under your foot like you would with regular sandals being the perfect balance of ventilation and protection for your feet.The grip on the sandals were also perfect in sometimes steep muddy conditions and we were fine when some in trainers struggled. They are very comfortable and feel like you are wearing regular walking shoes after a while.We did start to develop slight tenderness/ early stages of a blister on the soles of our feet after a couple days wearing for the first time after a few miles daily walking but I find this is always been the case when wearing new flipflops or sandals. These went away the next day then we had long hike without any issues at all, so I recommend wearing them for a few days before you do any long walks for your feet and soles to adjust, then give your feet a break then they will be perfect.I did consider the heavier duty version of these sandals which might be more suitable for those constantly hiking or in poor terrain but I found these the perfect balance to be able to wear day to day hiking, urban areas and travelling. One thing I would say is they are not ideal for walking on loose sand as it tends to collect in the front. This is definitely not a deal breaker but this was the only situation I had to take them off to empty them which I think says a lot.

When I bought this product it was saying that the best size for me based on others was to go bigger but for me going a size smaller is perfect, they fit to your feet and you don't want them to be loose. they are fantastic sandles.. probably the best I ever had.. would 100% recommend.. just get the size right. They are also great when around water as they give you freedom to walk in and out and retain the grip even when wet.

Lovely quality, very comfortable and lightweight.But soooo expensive for what they are!

They're comfortable to wear. Initially ordered size 8.5uk which is my usual size but found them tight to get into. Seen others ordered a half size up. Size 9 uk fit better and are easy to put and take off

Like all blokes I've struggled with showing my feet through my shoes over the years. What to do? Go the leather 'ugly but you know it's proper shoe material' look? Try the 'I might go hiking but I'm actually just on the high street' style? Or how about 'I don't really care so black Velcro is fine by me' ultimate cheapos? I've tried them all and I can tell you, as the first pair of Keens I've bought, that these beat them all. Super comfortable from the box, really tough, and versatile - I've so far worn them to a music festival, on a bike, and around the house. The real test will be going around Japan this summer. They do perhaps fit a bit more into the 'hiking' category but as I'll be using them for that it's fine. I actually think they just look quite nice. And I've always worried about the basic vulnerability of my toes in sandals so I like the trademark Keen chunky toe cap. So there you go - solves a blokey problem without being uncomfortable. Am already thinking of ordering a second pair.Update from Japanese trip - continued to cope really well but on longer walks and slightly stonier terrains I found myself thinking thicker soles might make my feet slightly less tired. Also the thinner soles of the CNX's mean you are more likely to get little stones flicked into the shoe on gravelly paths. But these are small issues - still a fantastic sandal and next summer I may simply buy the hikier version and take both. I actually only wore the other shoes I brought with me once - on the plane.Here's an update 2 years later - they're still my most comfortable sandals of all time, and the other thicker soled Keens I bought (Newport) thinking these were too thin to wear all the time are just too bulky and hot to wear anywhere that is above about 22 degrees. I would rather have bought a second pair of these and hope they don't discontinue them at some point, as I will definitely be buying another pair when (if?) these ones wear out.

Easy to return as size too small

Very comfortable and provides good stability. Too soon to really comment on durability, but it's well made and seems promising.

I bought some of these a few years ago, but they were falling to pieces after 5 years of use, so had to get some more. I have wide feet and these fit well, so the previous pair with velcro back worked better than these with fixed back. Slightly narrow but that's OK.I walk a lot at work and needed comfort, the padding under foot is less than older pair.Wouldn't wear for longer walks, avoiding walking on wet stone too.Worst part, I slipped on carpet tiled floor whilst wearing these, fell and damaged the soft tissue of my shoulder.Could have done with bit more sponge under foot and being able to open at the back for us with wider feet. Deeper grip would have been nice too.

This is my second pair. My other pair are women's size 9.5. Both are size EU 40, BTW. They fit similarly.These were a wee bit tight and I was a little concerned. I bought a pair of cedar shoe trees and did two sessions of stretching. The first session was to stretch the toe box by putting them in as directed. The second session was to jam the shoe trees in backward / upside down with the toe to the back (to stretch the back) and have them sit out in the sun.They fit like a glove. I am breaking them in by wearing them around the house.My old pair need to be washed badly and I wanted a new pair broken in first so that I won't miss out on my walks.

These are really well made and comfortable especially if worn with socks. Buy one size up from you would normally would wear. I saw that on prior reviews and it is spot on. These dont have arch supports but they will definitely protect my feet from rocks etc. The soles are tough. When they get wet they dry quickly. Great product.

I love the KEEN Clearwater CNX *womens* shoes but I have no use for *mens* shoes. Title description is wrong.

El producto es de alta calidad, la talla en cm se ajusta muy bien a lo que pedí, el trato del proveedor fue muy bueno, atento y siempre en comunicación, el cuidado de mi producto fue excelente, lo recomiendo ampliamente, al producto pero sobre todo al vendedor. Excelente elección!

Son fuertes y a la vez cómodas. Se adaptan a cualquier tipo de superficie incluso caminos de tierra sin soportar el calor de unas zapatillas cerradas. Aguantan muy bien el agua. Es un tipo de calzado que en verano hay que tener
