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.

Best value and quality very comfortable

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.

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!

Very comfortable, fit to size.

After being off market for many years, KEEN finally re-introduced their open toe Dayton 11 sandal for men. BUT, now made in India, not China. Sole has been cheapened as has innersole, less cushioning equals less comfort. Also the over strap of sandal is slightly smaller, making even a half size larger bit tight. Have written to KEEN customer service and one of their executives with zero response. The closed toe version that I also have, KEEN Newport, now made in Thailand still has great fit, better sole and inner sole, great comfort. Disappointed in zero response from KEEN as well as downgrade of product.

These sandals are well made and very durable. There was practically no break in period needed although it rubbed my big toe raw at first. Overall they are comfortable and are made with real leather which looks like it will last for a long time.
