<description>KEEN Newport H2 Sandal - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Site says 44 dollars and when I go to check out it says 94 dollars.  Is it a sale or not?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I already have to pay duty on them when they get here at the cost so I have to pay for them twice anyway.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Do you ship to Dominica, West Indies.?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m looking for a black sandal in a nine us size.  Thanks.</description>

<description>Chaco Z/1 Pro Sandal - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Wrote chaco on the moving to china deal and asking about colorado made sandals,this is what i got back. so order from colorado and keep them in busy.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Josh,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;My name is, Lisa Kondrat, I am the Manager of Chaco Repair and Warranty in Paonia, Colorado.  Repair Warranty repairs Z1&#x26;#146;s and Z2&#x26;#146;s, makes custom sandals, produce dog collars, dog leashes, and webbing belts.  There are 18 very hard working American&#x26;#146;s at this plant.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I thought it would be remiss of me not let you know that service you are asking for does exist here at Chaco.  Although the bulk of production has moved to China, the small factory in Paonia, has retained the ability to make special or custom Z1&#x26;#146;s and Z2&#x26;#146;s.  We have had this service for quite some time.  Because of the overhead involved in this type of operation we do have to charge more.  Special orders are $125.00 a pair. We have a wide variety of webbing to choose from.  Should you change your mind about buying Chaco&#x26;#146;s this could be a good option for you.</description>

<description>KEEN Venice H2 Sandal - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;ve looked at the &#x26;quot;dark gray/red rock&#x26;quot; color option on a couple sites and I&#x26;#39;m not sure which site has the accurate image for this color. Zappos shows this color option as much darker. See http://zapp.me/7209709 and &#x26;quot;dark gray/red rock&#x26;quot; is the 5th color swatch. Anyone know what the correct image is (I like the darker color on Zappos, but want to buy from BC)?</description>

<description>Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Backcountry.com Exclusive - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I owned a pair of Chaco z/2 sandals and I loved them.  I am now in the market for another pair (because they were stolen!).  I was wondering if the z/1s are as comfortable.  I found that the z/2s were great in the water because the big toe loop helped keep them secure.  But z/1s allow the option of wearing socks as well.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;   Any thoughts or suggestions on how these models compare?  Do the z/1s still stay snug on your feet?</description>

<title>Write your question here...The Newport is advertised as a boating</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/KEEN-Newport-Sandal-Mens/KEN0001M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_117965#question_117965</link>
<description>KEEN Newport Sandal - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Write your question here...The Newport is advertised as a boating sandal with sipes in the trend that do extend out farther than the Laguna. The sides are very tight and after looking at a 3 yr old pair the sipes were still very tight and closed. The Laguna has a narrower tread  with sipes in it however they are much more open and appear to look like they would be better on a wet boat deck. The Newports have to be completely bent to see any sipes and that is not what will happen walking on the deck of a sailboat. Which is the better sandal for boating?</description>
