Product Information
Full details
The KEEN Newport Retro is a versatile hybrid footwear solution designed for active adults who need a sandal that performs across diverse terrains, from river beds to city streets. Its primary benefit lies in its robust construction and iconic protective toe design, which offers superior support and safety compared to standard summer sandals. While it excels in durability and protection, users should note that the substantial build may feel heavier or more structured than lightweight flip-flops, making it better suited for rugged use rather than casual lounging.

FAQs
Can I wear these in the ocean?
Yes, they are designed for water use. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after salt water exposure to prevent material wear.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
No, they are designed to be worn without socks. However, some users prefer thin, moisture-wicking socks for long-distance hiking.
How do I determine my size?
Measure your foot from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. If you are between sizes, opt for the larger size.
Are they machine washable?
We recommend hand washing with a mild detergent and scrubbing gently, as machine cycles can be harsh on the construction.
Can these be used for hiking?
Yes, the Newport Retro is suitable for light to moderate hiking, especially on trails where water crossings are involved.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after long use
Check the lace tensioner for debris and ensure the lace is fully seated in the locking mechanism.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
Rinse the footbed thoroughly to remove trapped dirt, sweat, or salts, and allow it to dry completely before the next use.
Material feels stiff
Wear the sandals for short periods to allow the materials to warm up and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, getting the correct fit is essential. Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe while standing. If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for maximum comfort.
For care, these sandals are designed to be resilient. If they get muddy or sandy, rinse them with fresh water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or degrade prematurely. Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance of the lacing system and keeps the materials flexible.
