這雙 Keen Newport H2 目前使用第8年，大底與中底間有一條車縫線，那是2年前修復時縫上去的。

I’ve been using these Keen Newport H2 sandals for 8 years now. There’s a stitching line between the outsole and midsole, which was sewn during a repair two years ago.

如果從鞋櫃裡挑一雙鞋符合我多種需求的鞋，那就是 Keen Newport H2。

我的腳會長小水泡，只有穿透氣鞋可以減緩這個情況，所以外出我大多穿著涼鞋。
有時候我需要去到其他縣市幾天，需要開會、在城市行走或爬爬郊山，而Newport H2在涼鞋的類別中，有更多的包覆，在會議場合比較體面一些，而水陸與護趾的設計，在面對下雨或上山的情況，就不用擔心濕透悶著腳或撞傷，需要簡易清潔的話，直接沖洗，快乾織帶讓你隔天就能繼續穿著。

此外，Newport H2 對我的大加分項目，就是它的「耐用」與「可修復」。在第5年時，中底與大底分離，送到代理商以合理的價格車縫，至今持續使用中。

至於涼鞋的異味問題？我的保養方式是：每穿5-7次，用清水擦拭鞋面與鞋床。經過3次循環，我會泡 Sportwash 做更深度的清潔，在這樣的維護下，沒有遇過鞋子變臭。

If I had to choose one pair of shoes from my shoe cabinet that meets all my needs, it would be the Keen Newport H2.

I mostly wear sandals for breathability and avoid blisters. The Newport H2 is versatile for meetings, city walks, and hiking. It offers good coverage and looks presentable in meetings. The design is great for both wet and dry conditions, with toe protection and easy cleaning. Just rinse them, and the quick-dry webbing allows them to be worn the next day.

They are durable and repairable. After five years, the midsole and outsole separated, but I got them stitched up at a reasonable cost, and they are still in use.

For odor, I wipe them down every 5-7 wears and soak them in “Sportwash” after three cycles. This keeps them fresh and odor-free.
