Men's Clearwater CNX
"Really Like the color. Just getting used to the weight and the fit. Good fit for a narrow foot with a regular arch. Have not tried in the water as yet"
lighter than my old pair
"walked in with old pair, now with shredded soles and left those. These on the 25% sale price were a great buy. also boughjt pair for one of my boys at this price."
Comfort and durability
"I got my first pair of these when my favourite sandal was out of stock. Pretty sure I’ll stick with Keens. They’re lightweight, comfortable and durable. I appreciate that they fit my narrow foot very well."
"Amazing, held up to playing in rivers and just keeping my feet cool while tooling around desert towns. Stylish, comfy and useful"
Great sandal for kayaking
"I got these mainly for kayaking. I needed a waterproof sandal that had a robust rubber sole for walking out into the shore of a lake where there could be broken glass and/or sharp rocks. Foam wasn't going to cut it and these fit the bill perfectly. I appreciate the less chunky profile of these compared to the Newports, which looked clownish on me. The Newports are just too wide. These look a lot more normal and they're lighter."
build quality is god but the contour fit is a pain
"been wearing keen sandles for a while. love the original keen fit in the uneeks. recently purchased a clearwater cnx and the contour fit was painful. just wish they can have this model in original keen fit to cater wider feet customer. clearwater cnx build quality was good though."
Perfect for walking/hiking or sloshing in the water:-)
"Love the fit:-) I like how the toe is protected:-) All I can say is give them a try. This old tired Disabled Veteran did and love them. Well done KEEN Footwear:-)"
Great low profile water sandal
"These are a great water shoe if you are looking for a minimalistic-style upgrade from an open-toed strap sandal. They fit closely to your foot with no slop, without feeling tight or being difficult to put on. I forget I am wearing them in the water and they drain super quickly coming out of the water onto dry land. The only improvement I would make is that I wish they dried faster. I am on my second pair and am writing this review because I would be very sad if they ever discontinued this line!"
I wish there were half sizes above 12
"This is the third pair of these sandals in 6-7 years. The pair I just replaced were US size 12, and although the first 6-8 months of wearing them in the tropics caused 3rd toe on left foot to bleed, that toe eventually wore a patch out of the cloth lining and they've been perfect. When I bought the present pair I choose US size 13. Frankly, because the whole shoe is larger, I don't feel as well supported. I do pull on the elastic laces two-, and one-crossing down from the top, and finally cinch up the laces with the cord lock. Even then the 13 shoes don't feel like I'm wearing "gloves on my feet" the way the 12s did. I'm sure I'd be satisfied with 12 1/2."
