Review: New Newport Shoes by Keen

Regular readers of my blog will know that we are outdoor enthusiasts and can often be found on long walks along the Jurassic Coast.

Many of our walks can be quite challenging, so I always insist that the kids wear sensible shoes, which are not only comfortable, but feature a good grip on tricky terrain and look great.

In the summer, we reviewed Keen’s new summer sandal collection and the kids lived in their shoes all summer.

Eliza was especially fond of her rainbow tie dye Newport sandals, so when we discovered they were now making them as shoes, she was very excited.

We all want the freedom of summer to live on all year, so Keen took what you love about our #1 warm-weather sandal — the iconic KEEN toe bumper, easy-on bungee closure, and adjustable fit for growing feet — and added the all-season protection of a shoe. Trusted comfort from backyard to blacktop, 365 days a year.

The Newport shoes feature a high traction rubber sole and an easy to secure lace-lock bungee system with adjustable hook-and-loop strap.

This time of year, shoes can get especially dirty, but they are easy to clean, by gently brushing the leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove loose dirt and debris. 

Eliza has been really putting them to the test, wearing them to scout camp and her school residential as they are so comfortable.

  1. I’m so jealous, I really want to visit the Jurassic coast. You do need good shoes though for walks. These sound great, they’d be ideal for my little one x
