Probably going to be all different answers to your question but for me the most comfortable is the Whisper. I tried them all on and it was the one that fit my foot the best.

Living in Florida, I hate socks, so I was looking for a shoe like this to wear when we go to Disney (we go about once a month). I bought a pair of Whispers last year and I love them! My husband has the men's version as well and he always wears his.

I have the Newports and the Whisper and I love the both!! The Whisper is lighter, but I really love my Newports, too!!

GREAT shoes, I LOVE the Whisper.

I love my Venice but am tempted to buy Whispers too!

Can you Keen fans tell me what you think is the difference between the Whisper and Newport? I'm trying to decide if to "invest" in a pair and I'm wondering which way to go. I like how they both look, but is there a reason for one or the other?? Thanks for aiding me in spending money!

I'm wondering as well.

And could someone also let me know if either/both/all Keen waterproof sandles have good arch support? I love the look of these and the fact that I can wear them barefoot through water rides and rain. But if they don't have arch support, good support - I can't walk in them.

My husband LOVES his Newports. He wears them all the time and has worn them at Disney. He loves the arch support (he has high arches) and likes that his toes are covered.
Honestly, I cannot stand any of the Keens! I thought I'd get some since he loves his so much, but when I went to try on the different styles, none of them fit me right. The toe guards felt like they were hitting my toes/squishing them, and I have skinny feet. I guess you've got to try them for yourself!

The Whisper is lighter than the Newport. It is also narrower. I really love them both, but for me, the Newport is maybe just a little more comfortable and I think has a better arch. However, I like the look of the Whisper better.
