Men's Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandals

These sandals protect your feet pretty well, around the house and on trails. They are not as good in that respect of course as solid hiking shoes, but they are an alternative, especially for summer. I will say no more on that, other than after wearing them now for 3 or 4 months I have really grown fond of them, and I am particular about my shoes. Open toe sandals are comfortable, but banging your toes is not, nor is hurting yourself because you wore an unstable shoe. Regarding sizing, my foot is a 12, a pretty standard foot I would say. My foot measures 11 1/4 inches, exactly at the standard size 12 length. I have several pair of these sandals now, both in size 12 and 13. Both sizes work fine for me. I actually think I prefer the 12's, they are a bit more solid on my foot. I expect to wear the 13's more often when it is cold with socks, to give me a little more space. But I can wear the 12's with socks just fine. I have not trouble putting the 12's on or taking them off, just push your foot all the way in and the heel strap will slide on easily. They stretch out after you have worn them awhile, I can't tell much difference between wearing a 13 and a 12. In fact to test myself I put on a pair not knowing the size (I have the same color in both sizes). I guessed that I was wearing the 13 and I was incorrect, I was wearing the 12. I have also walked around with a 12 on one foot and a 13 on the other. I found no major difference between the two feet. I also have the leather version in size 12, they seem just a little bigger than the polyester but not enough to matter much. In summary, at least for me, the issue people have about sizing is very overblown. I would get a 12 1/2 if it existed, but I have often felt that way with other shoes. For me it is either a 12 or 13, and generally I prefer the 12. I have enough toe room in the size 12 of these sandals, they fit fine, around the house, walking trails with my dogs, and of course in the water. They really do dry out fast, If they get wet I just let them dry and put on a different pair. 5/5/23....I still feel the same after wearing these pretty much constantly for a few months. You may think that there is not enough toe room because you may feel some sensation at the toe at times. My bigger sized 13's have that same sensation, that is just due to the rubber caps at the toe. I feel no pressure on my toes walking down steep hills, that is the acid test for toe room. I definitely prefer the 12's to the 13's. They stretch out and the 13's can feel just a bit loose. But the 13's are fine, I can wear either with no complaints. 6/26/23...Still feel the same, I have a pretty standard size 12 foot, size 12 in this shoe works well for me. I have size 13 as well but will use those with socks when it is cold, I like the better stability of the size 12. I really love these shoes. I put on an open toe sandal yesterday for the first time in awhile, yeah more comfortable, but banged my exposed foot twice, and that hurts. I am sold on the closed toe. You have to take the shoe off when you get little pebbles or something inside the shoe, but they slide off and on easily. Great in the water, I have never had pain from banding my foot walking the trails with my dogs since I started wearing them, and they really have good support. Dry quickly after being in the lake.

I have not had a chance to wear these extensively other than trying them on, walking around the house and inspecting the quality. I will base my review on initial Fit, Comfort, Quality and Appearance. First, let me say I purchased these for fishing/wading rivers and the hiking that might be involved with those endeavors. The purpose of my review is to mainly assist those in trying to select the right size. Fit: 5/5 - I normally wear a 10/10.5 shoe wearing normal, medium thickness socks, depending on the brand of shoe. II plan to use these only without socks, so I purchased a size 10.5 based on the reviews. They were snug to put on, but comfortable once on. This is exactly the fit I was looking for. I have a wide foot and it was plenty wide for me. There was enough room in the toe cap for my toes. Just be sure to loosen up the bungee strap to assist when putting them on. Comfort: 4.5/5 - The comfort seems very good. The sole has arch support but also seems flexible enough to deal with various terrain. I subtracted .5 because it might have been better to have an adjustable heel strap for personalizing the fit better as the shoe breaks in. Time will tell. Perhaps it isn't necessary. Quality: 4.5/5 - After my initial visual inspection and walk around, I feel these are well made and will last. Subtracting .5 because I did see some minor fabric fraying on the straps. Once again, only time will tell. Appearance: 5/5 - Sporty and attractive IMHO. Can serve multiple purposes.

Very comfortable. Excellent fit.

These sandals are awesome!! I bought my husband these and he loves them. Stylish and very comfortable. Weather it is out on the boat fishing, hiking, walking or even running errands these are the shoes! May even get myself a pair!

Fit: I ordered a half-size larger than normal and they fit fine. Comfort: I find them very comfortable. I can see how the heel strap could chafe some feet, but I have no problem. My one main issue is that these sandals are pebble magnets. Every time I use them, a rock or pebble finds its way under my feet. And the problem is that as easy as they slip in, they are near impossible to remove without taking off the sandal. This is the one continual annoying aspect. Wear and Tear: After a year of daily use (I live in remote area), they are holding up fine. No rips or tears for upper straps. Sole has normal wear but nothing major. Yet, there's one thing here that stands out: they stink! Yeah, it could be my feet, except the shoes themselves stink after normal use. It's like the insole traps every piece of dirt or sweat (or rock!). Overall: I like them. I'll continue to use them. But they can be annoying.

Great shoes for mild winter days, hiking, everyday use. Extremely comfortable. If you’re active, get these.

Awesome shoe! I have foot/heel pain, and these alleviate it. I use them for beach wear, and they are very comfortable, waterproof and comfortable.

Well pleased with the quality. Perfect for wider than usual feet. Size runs slightly small in terms of length.

Wygodne męskie sandały. Niezniszczalne. Rozmiar zgodny z rozmiarówką

This is my 4th pair of newport. Each pair last me around 4yrs. Very versatile sandal. It follow me for my bike rides and light hiking. Highly recommended sports sandals.

El producto cumple perfectamente las espectativas que tenía en el antes de comprarlo. Es un calzado súperversatil, que sirve lo mismo para hacer trekking por sendas o caminos (no rocosos) como para meterlo en el agua. Se seca muy rápido y es muy cómodo. En mi opinion todo un acierto comprarlo. Aunque su precio sea mayor que el de calzados similares de otras marcas, su mayor calidad hace que merezca la pena pagar esa diferencia de precio.

I had hyperport and was happy with its quality and comfort. I even gave them to my father, so that he knew how a good sandals should feel. This year I bought Newport h2 and my feet feel even better.
