KEEN Men's Arroyo 2 Closed Toe Hiking Sandals

Very comfortable I’ve bought these before they always last me a year which I’m happy with because I’m always outside working in the yard, fishing, camping or even running errands in them. Every type of sandal like this will start to smell and pull cords loosen and stretch so paracord will fix string and a diluted bleach spray works also. I just feel for about $100 it’s worth buying knowing that they will last about a year. I’ve wanted to extend wearing them another year but tbh they hold sweat and my wife throws them away because smells up our closet even after thoroughly bleaching and using fabric sprays on them but it’s not brand specific as I’ve had every pair of outdoor hiking sandals just reek of salty foot. I live on Lake Huron and wear sandals daily when it’s warm enough and my favorite are Keen, owned probably every type and brand Keen seems to be more comfortable durable and the best brand out there for sandals.For people upset about smell you can probably prolong them by using foot deodorants but tbh I could care less I’m married have a kid last thing I’m worried about is a nice smelling pair of sandals. I work in our garden in these, mow lawn chase after a toddler and these fit my lifestyle perfectly. They are well made my feet are average width for 11 1/2 shoes I buy 12 in sandals and these fit perfectly not snug or loose. Just order a half size up and you’ll be fine.

Good and sturdy, good traction all weather. I wear these just about all year. (S Oregon) These are my second pair, the old ones are just fine still, but I want some new ones for "go to town". Only thing to do when new is get the best cushion work boot inserts you can find and put in. You might have to do some trimming on the insert for a good fit. Really makes them comfortable. I bought the first pair in May, 2020 and they are still daily wear, rain or shine.

Can't say better things about this. I have work this for a year, now across Africa, India, many US national parks. It is my go to travel show. A year later still looks new.

10.5 is definitely an 11. Keen size consistency across it's product lines is deteriorating. I bought 2 sets of keen sandals at 10.5 and they fit fine. Returning and ordering 10's.

Comfortable, good traction. A bit heavy but comes with the territory for the durability

Loved the product.

Update: It's not the size, it's the design. Heels are loose and this cannot be remedied. The soles are the same size as my old Keen sandals. I carefully measured and compared these. The fit is true in the front, but the heels slip in the back. My stick-on heel pads didn't stay on one day. I had to use 4 on each heel and it was uncomfortable, anyway. If I had went down a size, the sandals would have been too small. They cut into my feet as it is, unlike the older style Keens. The whole sandal is uncomfortable. I'm just going to have to live with sandals that slip and cause irritation, front and back if I walk about a mile or more. Based in Oregon, an insane "progressive" enclave.On the positive side, these look good and have a good sole, if I don't fall out of these or twist an ankle.I loike the idea of a waterproof sandal with a hiking boot soleWanted and needed this shoe but should have returned for a size that fit better. Many issues with online apparel shopping! I have the classic Keen water sandal in 11.5 but I guess I needed 11s in these. Typically, I wear 12s in all footware types. The heel slips too much and you can't really tighten the shoe. There's little heel tightening possible, because of the design. I cut off toe circulation trying to cinch up the heel. It comes loose around the heel after a few steps but the front keeps tighter. The little plastic string holder is too puny for the design, especially for the heel issue. Of course, if I had a smaller size, maybe there wouldn't be a heel problem, but the the rest of the fit is perfect. Since I wore these on a short hike, I kept them.I made some changes to the sandals which has helped a lot with the fit. I put in heavy duty $30 inner sole inserts, size 12; which fit without alteration. I also bought an 8 pack of stick-on heel pads and needed all 8 for the optimum effect. The heel pads made the main difference.For whatever reason, wearing Crocs with socks (even with the Keen sandal sole insert installed in the Croc), the Crocs are cooler than both of my pairs of Keen sandals. Maybe it's the sock wicking combined with the generous lower Croc vents. However, I'm not going to hike in Crocs, or even wear them in public.

Very comfortable but as previously indicated order a 1/2 size lower than normal.
