Powerhouse! Keen's First Waterproof Socks 'NEWPORT WP SOCKS CREW'
If socks were waterproof, you could step into water with sandals on and not get your feet wet. They dry quicker than shoes because water drains well from them. They also offer wind protection, so you can tread through fields, waterfronts, and cities with sandals on throughout the seasons, be it rain, wind, or snow. Isn't this an eye-opening item?
Overturning the norms of footwear, the Keen's breathable waterproof socks, 'NEWPORT WP SOCKS CREW,' were developed by Naoki Akimoto at 'KEEN Japan GK'.

With a Water Resistance of 5000mm & Breathability of 7000g/m2-24h, These Socks are like Wearable Rainwear!

Founded in 2003, 'Keen', an outdoor footwear brand from Portland, Oregon, USA, revolutionized the industry with the debut of the 'NEWPORT' sandal. Its toe-protecting design is suitable for both relaxing in the city and roaming outdoors, establishing a style of venturing anywhere with sandals.

"Especially, the amphibious model 'NEWPORT H2' features a polyester webbing lining that enables water-side activities. In summer, you can freely move around in the field wearing these barefoot. You can step into lakes and rivers without hesitation, creating such experiences."
During spring or autumn, or even at high altitudes in summer, the temperature variance throughout the day can be quite significant, making mornings and evenings a bit chilly. While it could be daunting to carry extra shoes for sandals, tucking a pair of socks in your bag is simple.
"Thinking about making sandals wearable year-round, even on rainy or snowy days, we developed 'NEWPORT WP SOCKS CREW'. They use the same three-layer structure as the essential breathable waterproof outerwear in the outdoors, with a waterproof rating of 5000mm and a breathability of 7000g/m2 over 24 hours."
