The (w/out any hyperbole whatsoever) BEST damn sandal ever fashioned
The Keen Waimea is, according to a Keen spokesman, is the newest iteration of the Keen Antigua. It is also the single greatest sandal ever fashioned by the hands of men, women, or the gods. There is a popular myth spreading among wearers of the Antigua/Waimea that it was actually the sandal of choice of many important historical figures, including Plato, Homer, Pythagoras, Nefertiti, Alexander the Great, Buddha, Jesus, (recent research also points to Muhammad as a fan), Mary Queen of Scots, William Wordsworth, James Dean, the bulk of the undefeated 1973 Miami Dolphins defensive crew, and Stephen Biko.
I have owned a pair of Antugua's for nearly three years now and they're still in wearable condition. This after backpacking across West Africa with a nearly 40 pound bag for three weeks, through the streets of Mopti, the cliffs of the Bandiaga Escarpment, across the sahel, to Elmina Slave Castle, the largest waterfall in West Africa, and a delicious ice cream shop in Bobo Dialasou.
Keen says these are just a Spring/Summer shoe, but they're off their rockers not selling this shoe year round. Whoever came up with the no-stub toe protector clearly deserves a MacArthur Genius Grant and an enthusiastic pat on the back. And the cushioning and durability of these shoes leaves absolutely zilch to be desired.
You'd be insane to buy any other sandal if you actually intend to spend a lot of time wearing them. Get your &*%^ together and buy a pair of Antigua/Waimea's.

Comfortable and attractive
* I got the \"pumice\" color which is a pretty light gray with blue details, not stiped like the black sandal shown. Protection for the big toe, comfortable to wear immediately. Machine washable. I am very happy with these sandals. ...

Great Sandal!
I bought this sandal after I broke my toe, and I wanted a sandal with toe protection, and I wasn't disappointed. This sandal is really comfortable. It has great arch support and a nicely coushioned sole, and it is both cute and functional. Looks great with shorts, capris and pants, but a little too "clunky" for skirts. Very sporty.

Keen Waimea sandel
* Great Sandal. I wanted something that could go to the beach, in the water and on short hiking trails. It fit the bill and was perfect for our Maui vacation. After a week of much use, they still look like new and are attractive and very comfortable as well. A purchase well made and prompt delivery. ...
