KEENMen's Daytona 2 Open Toe Comfortable Casual Outdoor Sandals

Husband loves these from 5 years ago, and I bought him another pair. Sandals are flexable , durable for extended wear, great value, true to fit, color and support great. He loves this second pair.

The new Daytona 2 is almost identical to my old pair from about 10 years ago. Footbed pattern identical. Sole tread pattern identical. Stitching identical. Size identical. Country of origin, old is China new is India. Oh, and the “Waterproof” tag of the old pair is a rubbery plastic, and the new tag is fabric.The 5 stars may be premature, since I can’t judge their durability yet. Note the use of shoe goo on the over-pronation wear on the heal on the old sandal. I’d goo them up again if it weren’t for the crack starting to form in the soles at the ball of the foot.My only concern is that I immediately noticed the new sandal is lighter than the old one. 2 ounces lighter, with the old sandal at 18 ounces, and the new one at 15.85 ounces. I’m sure this difference is in the sole material. The old sandal’s sole is a solid dense rubber material. The new sole is softer and doesn’t feel as substantial, although it is far from flimsy. Only time and distance will tell if it holds up as well as the original pair.Update 7/2024: After a bit more than a year of use, the soles are wearing much faster than the originals. The heals have worn the most, exposing the softer cushion later of the material on the left sandal. See third photo. I over-pronate (strike on outside of heal and roll to inside of ball as I walk), more so on the left. It could also be attributable to manufacturing differences in the sole. The soles won't last as long as the originals, probably not even half as long. The uppers do seem to be holding up well. However, I would replace them even after only five years, since they are still my favorite sandals.

Best value and quality very comfortable

After His old ones lasted 10 LONG years, finally ripping pieces from the actual souls, it was time to get another pair for our upcoming cruise. We couldn't read the inside sizing label, so we ordered the same as his sneakers. Size 9. He couldn't even get his foot in. Running out of time, we quickly reordered a 10. The 10's arrived just days from our departure. PERFECT! We took one star off as the size should be listed on the soul of this sandal. He says, he's back to perfect comfort.

Comfortable & wear them around the house like house shoes!

This is my third pair fo these. My first pair just finally failed after almost 10 years. My second pair had slight inconsistencies and very small wrinkles under the straps that caused pressure points on my feet every spring until my feet got used to it. This new pair is made a little differently and was nice and smooth and I have worn them from day one with no pressure points and they're breaking in quickly. The fit is very comfortable.

Keen used to be known for wide fit and flexible, accommodative instep space. They have gone mainstream and now only offer narrow, inflexible instep and hurt my feet. I know this because I bought about 8 different versions and they all fit the same - one I bought a while back, and couldn't return, but I thought it was the model. Then I ordered these, and a whole slew of other models, and they all hurt my feet. I'll never buy Keen again. If you haven't bought them in a few years, and used to love the fit, I'm going to bet you too are out of luck with this brand. I bought some Tevas, only because they at least fit, but they don't have the toe protection, comfort, or support that Keen have, and I didn't have time to try to find another alternative and I'm not sure there is one. I'm so sad and disappointed.

My favorite sandal! Lasts for years!
