KEENMen's SOLR High Performance Sport Closed Toe Water Water Shoe

These are great shoes if you work or play in a wet environment. I manage pools for a living and am constantly in search of clothing that's comfortable, functional and able to handle the hazzards of the trade. Chemical splashes and/or slippery pool decks are a tough order to fill in one shoe, but these guys are perfect. They have excellent grip on 97% of wet surfaces. They do lag a little when it comes to gripping on textured metal surfaces like latters. The materials are pretty unique and they're comfortable once you break them in. They're definitely tough. Cumulatively, I probably walk 4-5 miles a day on all kinds of wet and dry surfaces with a lot of arch bending and every stitch is still in place after using them 5 days a week for 2 months. I'm impressed. My old choice (the clog brand named for large amphibious reptiles) had pretty solid grip but, they would have already started slipping by now with my rate of use. These are significantly more expensive but, I would imagine the casual recreational wearer would get a few years out of these. Lastly, they haven't faded a bit despite all day sun and chlorine drips. Great buy.

I love these. I bought them to replace the Merrill water shoes that I wear all of the time. The Merrill’s have been very good and are a little lighter than these Keen’s. The Keen’s seem to be more durable. They are not quite as flexible but they are still very comfortable.I am normally a reliable size 10. The Keen size 10 was too small in the toe area. I replaced them with 10.5’s and the fit is perfect for meReally nice shoes and I’m glad I stepped up to the Keen

After wearing my Keen Atlanta 2 work shoes 6-7 days a week on concrete floors at my machine shop for over a year I was impressed with the brand. I was buying boots at a similar price point from a few other brands and nothing would get past 6 months before falling apart or just hurting after the soles wore out. My Keen work shoes look like they might make it to TWO YEARS. They don't even smell bad yet. I got some of the cheaper Birkenstocks around the beginning of March and they quickly began to fall apart. I decided to give Keen a try for sandals. They cost more than I am usually willing to spend on sandals, but I figured if they are the same quality as my work shoes I would actually save money over the years. Theses sandals are so comfortable that I have been wearing them to do everything other than work and they show no signs of wear whatsoever. I have gotten them pretty dirty a few times out in the yard, but hitting them with a hose washed everything off easily and they dried quickly. While they were wet my foot didn't slide around inside of them like other sandals typically do. I will definitely get another pair in a few years if these fall apart.

These are good looking and comfortable sandals. They were a bit hard to take on and off at first due to the tight fixed heel strap; once on they are very secure and comfortable. However, I wore them on a canoe trip and the first time I stepped out of the canoe on a rocky shore I went flying. There is no grip on wet rocks; I had the same experience on a boat ramp. This was unexpected from a water shoe. The sandals are great for sandy beaches, fine rocks, and roughened concrete, but are treacherous on smooth wet surfaces. My worn out teva’s were much more secure for these surfaces. I kept them and use for general summer outdoor wear; I am looking for a softer soled sandal for use on rocky surfaces.

I bought and returned 2 pairs of the Newport H2 water shoes due to size issues. The 10 had heel slippage and the 9.5 was too tight. My old Newport H2 sandals did fit good. The new ones don't.I then found the SOLR the other day on Amazon. I bought the size 10 and they fit perfectly at this point. I can use a 9.5 or 10 in shoes so buying online is not always the best but the 10 was the recommended size and fit is great.The SOLR has a Konnectfit heel that works as the description reads. No slippage but I just bought them so time will tell. You can bungie as with most KEENs for extra tight fit. I also noticed that these are lightweight compared to the Newport H2.I recommend these for anyone looking for a water sandal or to replace your Newport H2 sandals.

I really like it. I'm willing to purchase again.

Best shoe ever for wet wear. Hold up for years.

I only wear sandals in the summer and have owned just about every brand. I normally wouldn’t buy something like this because of the big flat portion on the bottom sole,, I like to have more grip on the bottom. I couldn’t find anything I liked so I tried them. I like that they are a little snug at first. They are still a little snug after a couple months, but i’m fine with it because all sandals stretch out and soon these will fit perfect. They look good and are comfortable. I would buy them again.
