Oh yeah, EMS also has them on sale right now for $72. They only carry navy
blue, but it's a good color, and they have all sizes in stock on the
website.

OK and thanks for reply!!

Well I just made a mistake I think

I ran down to REI store and bought the Keen Newport......NOT the
Newport H2

The ones I bought are made of Nubuck leather.....and the H2s are made
of nylon webbing.

Ive now learned after researching a bit that Keen also make the Hood
River shoe. I think this shoe is REALLY what I want and need

I need something truly amphibious...... and I think the leather model
I now have is not quite that

Soo.....any advice on the Hood River model vs the H2 model with nylon
webbing?

I will take back my leather models..... but again....any advice on the
Hood River design vs the H2 design?
