Review: water footwear from Keen shoes beats rival "hands down"
The new water shoes from Keen beat those from Mion "hands down", according to an outdoor products consumer website.
In a recent article, Stephen Regenold of Gear Junkie, tested the new Fast Canyon shoes from Mion and Keen's Hood River II.
Despite the Mion shoes higher retail price the Hood River II was declared the winner in the crossover category.
After subjecting the shoes to a rigorous test walking downriver, the review said: "Debris went easily into the Hood River IIs, but it also flowed easily out. Whereas with Mion Footwear's Fast Canyon, what got in stayed in until you took the whole bootie off.
"I got comments on my 'good-looking sandals' from friends while wearing the Hood River IIs out to dinner. The low-profile build and wide webbing straps make for a classic look."
Fitness Footwear sells a range of Keen shoes including the Newport and Venice models.
