DREAM PAIRSMen's 160912-M-NEW Adventurous Summer Outdoor Sandals

My favorite sport sandal has been the Keen Newport H2, and I've gone through 3 pairs of them. I decided to give these a try to save some money. These are my first impressions, and I will update later if issues appear. The appearance is really nice, the stitching looks of good quality, and the fit is true to size. Regarding the velcro strap across the heel - it would allow you to 'size-up' by 1 size, but not to 'size-down' below the stated size, as it is already fully tightened at that point. The footbed is not as soft and spongy as the Keen, a bit rougher, but still pretty comfortable. The weight is similar to the Keen, quite light. They are nicely flexible, and I don't find any rough edges, uncomfortable seams, or hot spots inside. Time will tell regarding durability, but these seem to offer an excellent value at this price point.

I have a pair of Keen Newport Leather which sells for $129. I purchased these Dream Pairs for 1/4 the price. I compared the two and they are very similar. The Keens are better quality, no doubt, but for the price difference these are well worth it. The Keens are heavier and appear more sturdy. The one difference I see is that these have an adjustable rear strap where the Keens do not. This is a plus for Dream Pairs. The front toe cavity is bigger on the Keens compared to these but not much of a concern. The space between the side slits is larger on these then the Keens. Both feel comfortable but the edge would go to Keen. I have only worn these Dream Pairs for one full day so I can’t say anything about long term quality, but when you consider the price, I could buy 4 pairs of these for the price of one pair of Keens. Overall very satisfied so far.

These are okay sandals for light use. Anyone saying you can use these for long-distance walking or hiking is mistaken. While they are comfortable, they don't provide the kind of support needed for a 2+ mile walk or hike.I bought them for a recent trip to Puerto Rico, and for walking to pools and the beach, they fit the bill. I also wore them kayaking to Gilligan's Island in Puerto Rico (yes, that really is a place), and they handled being in and out of the water with no problem.The quality is okay—I don’t see these lasting as long as Keens, but then again, I paid a third of the price. For a vacation to a warmer climate where I needed something for a few weeks, they did the job. I’ll be using them more this summer and seeing how they hold up.

I had been looking for a pair of shoes to replace ones like these that are completely worn out. The company that makes them must not exist any longer. I saw these and decided to try them. Great choice! They are almost like my old favorite pair. They even fit the same. I'm so happy to have found a replacement!!!

Dont usually write reviews but I have to give these shoes there props. First off finding my size shoes are difficult without spending an atm and a leg. But these shoes fit proper, theyvare confortable and held up to lots of walking and getting wet off and on in sand and salt water. They did not shrink and the tread did not hold sand like others. I must say it was a good buy for the price and functionality.

I needed closed-toed sandals for some upcoming trips, but didn't want to spend $100+ for the more expensive brands. Since these aren't something I plan on wearing everyday, I decided to go the less expensive route. I wore them recently on a rafting trip and was very satisfied. They are really comfortable and had great traction on wet rocks and dry land. The adjustable heel strap is a necessity when removing and putting them back on wet. It makes the whole process quick and easy. I've tried the fixed heel type and they are too difficult to work with wet.I do think they run slightly large. I first tried them on and they seemed to fit perfect, but after some time (and perhaps wetness induced stretch) I wish I had gone 1/2 size smaller. They weren't bad, but I found myself trying to adjust the heel strap tighter to bring my foot further up in the sandal. I also needed to tighten the elastic laces and cut off the excess prior to first wearing. The plastic clip on the end of the laces was well designed though, easy to remove and reapply.Overall, I am very satisfied and they held up well to a day long rafting trip - still look like they just came out of the box. I will post an update should they fall apart after my next few excursions.

They are okay. They fit well, but aren’t as comfortable as the last pair of similar sandals I have of a different brand. They work for the price.

I love these Sandals, they are comfortable and look good. The fit was as expected. They are not durable.I am giving them the 1 star rating because I really expect that a pair of sandals purchased in July should last longer than 60 days. As you can see in the photo - the sandals have torn out where the uppers meet the soles. They are beyond the thirty day return policy of Amazon.Update on these Shoes. I still love the shoes and now I am happy with the merchant. When I posted the negative review the company reached out to me and offered to replace the shoes or refund my money. You cant ask for anymore than that. I accepted the replacement because I liked the new shoes and they arrived in a couple of days.
