Review: Best sandals yet - Like all blokes I've struggled with showing my feet through my shoes over the years. What to do? Go the leather 'ugly but you know it's proper shoe material' look? Try the 'I might go hiking but I'm actually just on the high street' style? Or how about 'I don't really care so black Velcro is fine by me' ultimate cheapos? I've tried them all and I can tell you, as the first pair of Keens I've bought, that these beat them all. Super comfortable from the box, really tough, and versatile - I've so far worn them to a music festival, on a bike, and around the house. The real test will be going around Japan this summer. They do perhaps fit a bit more into the 'hiking' category but as I'll be using them for that it's fine. I actually think they just look quite nice. And I've always worried about the basic vulnerability of my toes in sandals so I like the trademark Keen chunky toe cap. So there you go - solves a blokey problem without being uncomfortable. Am already thinking of ordering a second pair. Update from Japanese trip - continued to cope really well but on longer walks and slightly stonier terrains I found myself thinking thicker soles might make my feet slightly less tired. Also the thinner soles of the CNX's mean you are more likely to get little stones flicked into the shoe on gravelly paths. But these are small issues - still a fantastic sandal and next summer I may simply buy the hikier version and take both. I actually only wore the other shoes I brought with me once - on the plane. Here's an update 2 years later - they're still my most comfortable sandals of all time, and the other thicker soled Keens I bought (Newport) thinking these were too thin to wear all the time are just too bulky and hot to wear anywhere that is above about 22 degrees. I would rather have bought a second pair of these and hope they don't discontinue them at some point, as I will definitely be buying another pair when (if?) these ones wear out. Review: Excellent Sandals - I got these after my previous Newports wore down at the heel. These are a lighter version of the Newport Sandal. The sole is much thinner and you can feel the ground more. The protective toe box is smaller. Great for walking around town. Newport would be better for hiking over rougher terrain. ## Features - MATERIAL & CLOSURE: Washable quick dry polyester webbing straps; Quick dry lining for active use; Lace lock bungee capture system provides a secure fit while offering a quick and easy way to get footwear on and off - SUPPORT & COMFORT: Metatarsal ridge for natural underfoot support; Lightweight cushioning footbed with arch support; High rebound underfoot cushioning system that doesn’t compress over time - TRACTION: Multi directional lugs with water channel siping help provide superior grip on slippery and wet terrains; Multi directional flex groves for natural flexibility and improved ground contact; Non marking rubber won't leave marks indoors - STYLE & FIT: Low profile design for enhanced ground feel in and out of the water; KEEN Original Fit gives generous space for toes to spread out making these men's hybrid sandals perfect for people with wide feet - CARE TIPS: Adventure sandals should be able to withstand all day fun; That's why all KEEN water sandals are machine washable; Use a small amount of detergent wash on gentle cycle and air dry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Care instructions | Machine Wash | | Country of origin | Cambodia | | Material composition | Synthetic | | Shaft height | Kurzschaft | | Sole material | Rubber | ## Images ![Men's Clearwater CNX Sandal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wMU0Ht7YL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between black and black/gargoyle?** A: Hi there - I've just checked the colours and I see what you mean - at one end of the scale it's black/gargoyle and at the other end it's just black. I've checked them both out against the pair my husband has and they are the same. Sometimes they do this. I looked at a pair of tan boots yesterday and there were two pairs the same colour beside each other and they both had different names! They are very good though, if you are thinking of getting some, but a little bit on the small side. My husband takes a 9 but they were too small so I got a 10 which were too big! He kept them because they were for a holiday and didn't have time to mess about getting some more but If I bought him some again I would get him a 9.5. Hope this helps. **Q: I have broad feet so do i buy usual size or bigger ?** A: I would go with ur usual size. They have elastic laces over the top of the shoe and it can be loosened quite a bit. Would you go up in size when u buy other shoes? These ones are definetly more flexible. And relax very slightly over time. **Q: Is this Keen sandal true to size? Or should I order a size up or down?** A: I wear a 6 in these, but a 7 in many other sandals. Hope this helps. **Q: I have quite wide feet, so usually buy a size up. Any advice on sizing?** A: I would go a size up for these. I did the same as my feet are quite wide ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sandals yet *by A***N on 29 May 2017* Like all blokes I've struggled with showing my feet through my shoes over the years.

These are a lighter version of the Newport Sandal. The sole is much thinner and you can feel the ground more. The protective toe box is smaller. Great for walking around town. Newport would be better for hiking over rougher terrain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comfortable and robust, if a little hard to get on. *by M***M on 25 August 2025* This is a review after 2 days - 1 day of house and garden and 1 of a 5 mile walk. They are very comfortable. They fit snugly, are spot on for my size (9), and have a good sole for trail walking. I don't expect they'll be substantial enough for rough and rocky walking, but that's not what they are for. My initial observation, and the reason for only 4 stars, is because they are awkward to get on. There's no way of slackening off the back strap so you have to struggle with the loop and I wonder how long it will last. In time I might discover a way of using the the front and back loops together and then I'll up the stars - because that's the only dow side I have experienced. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/51331051-mens-clearwater-cnx-sandal](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/51331051-mens-clearwater-cnx-sandal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
