Great Shoe!
I love these shoes! Very comfortable. Great for hiking in or around water... dry quickly. Seems to run small... had to get a size larger than I normally wear. Rec'd shoe VERY quickly from Zappos!

Not too bad -
These are pretty comfy. Worked well for my trip around Yellowstone, but not recommended for hiking as rocks tend to get into them pretty easily. Also, they are not as cool as I had hoped, but they're comfortable summer walking shoes.

Great Comfort -
When I first received my Keen Newport H2 shoes, my impression was that they were going to be too small. I normally do not wear strapped sandals. However, I finally got them on, a little tight fit at first, and wore them for a couple of hours. From then on, I was hooked. They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I lived aboard a boat for a couple of years and wish I had a pair then. Not only would I have saved a few broken toes, but would been comfortable and safe at the same time. The treads on the sandals are exceptionally well made and provide outstanding traction, even around slippery surfaces. I would highly recommend these specific shoes to anyone living on or around the water. I have found my water shoes. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Thank you Zappos for your outstanding response and assistance in acquiring a great pair of shoes.

Keen Newport H2 -
I bought these for my husband and myself after recently purchasing a camp assessable only by boat. Our feet are either in water or rugged terrain and the shoe suits both wonderfully. They are snug enough so our feet are not slipping in the shoe, airy enough for water to drain out. On occasion it has taken a long time for the shoe to dry while still wearing, but still is not uncomfortable. Will definitely purchase another pair and from ZAPPOS! Thank you!

Quality if Keen Newport is suspect -
I like my Keen Newport H2, but I will not be "showing them off to my friends". Why? They are practical and great for hiking, but the quality of the finish is not there. Specifically, the soles are "multi color", but that only means it is a base rubber color with a second color painted on. The very first time they got wet, the finish came off in blotchy patterns on the sides of the soles and the toe. I would not buy these shoes if you are looking for something that is durable and stays nice looking.

They actually fit!
I almost didn't order these because I have a narrow heel, and didn't figure they would fit without slipping. Wrong! They actually fit great, and I am quite happy with them. Good quality and a nice summer time addition.

Looks Great- On Everyone Else's Feet!
I just ordered this shoe because several of my friends have them and love them. I must have goofy feet, because the shoes just do not look right on me (my pinky toe looks like its about to pop out through one of the slots in the side- I think it's just the unfortunate layout of my feet rather than the sandals). I'm sending them back and ordering some trusty ol' Tevas.
On a side note, I ordered these at around 10 pm last night and they arrived TODAY at 3:15 pm. Zappos- the...best...company...online...hands down!!

Keen's Newport H2 -
Despite the feel you have of heat and of walking on plastic when you 1st put it on, you get over it quickly. This shoe really is comfortable and protects your foot much more than you would have thought.

Newport H2 -
This is my second pair of Newport H2s, and I really love the shoes. I wore them throughout my vacation in Europe this summer and they were comfortable to wear all day, with no blisters, etc.
There are a few things that you should know about these shoes, based on my experience:
- They stretch after a few days of wear. If, when you first try them on, they feel a bit tight, they will loosen up very comfortably in no time
- Beyond that, there is little "breaking in" for these shoes - they are comfortable from day one.
- One issue - they can get a bit stinky if you wear them very often in sweaty weather, but they are machine washable, so that takes care of that problem.

Like the shoes...
I have had these for about 3 weeks, and I have been wearing them a ton. I like wearing sandals, but prefer how my toes are enclosed with these shoes.
I think the shoes are generally "odor free" as advertised.
I find my feet sweat in them a little more than a more open sandal like a Teva.
While waterproof, they do dry slowly. So getting them wet doesn't do any damage, as long as you don't mind damp shoes for next day.
Haven't done too much athletic in them (hiking, etc.), so I can't comment on how functional they are for more strenuous activity.
(As an aside, I was quite happy with Zappos! I ordered a two-day shipping, and got bumped to overnight for free -- awesome!)

I have arthritis in my left and right feet, and normally wear orthotics in both shoes. Occasionally, my left foot has given me problems, making it painful to walk. I have been a beach bum for many years, and am not ready to give up walking the beach, or going into the ocean. My foot/ankle orthopedic surgeon recommended Keen's to me, so I ordered a pair. The shoes are comfortable, functional, and give me a measure of support while walking in conditions of uneven surfaces in the water. The inner soles are cushioned, and absorb shock while walking on hard surfaces. I am comfortable walking on dry sand or in the water on sandy surfaces. While I have given up walking on bare feet as a concession to my problem, I have not had to give up activities on the beach, both in the water, and on shore. After coming out of the salt water, I just rinse the shoes with fresh water, and set them aside to dry. They dry in reasonable quick order, and are ready for use again.

I'm buying my second pair now -
These are the most comfortable and durable sandals I have owned...I'm finally replacing them after three and a half years of wear. I have traveled all over the world with these. They are great sport sandals and have held up well to machine washings. The only negative thing I would say is that they trap sand and stones inside due to the narrow strap design, but you can easily remove the sandals and dump out the debris.

Good value for a water shoe -
This is a good water shoe. Very solid for walking on rocks in the water. Lots of stability and protection. Only complaint would be that beach sand gets in, accumulates, and won't come out without taking off the shoe and rinsing. I normally wear an 11.5, but had to re-order an 11 for this shoe. If you get a shoe that is too long, your little toe can pop out the side. Overall I like the shoe for water activity, but I think it is a little hot for normal wear (but then I don't like anything more confining than a flip-flop).

Recommend to anyone -
These are great shoes. No break in period needed. Wonderful for land and water. I'm on to my second pair because I wore my first pair out! These run about 1/2 size small, so order up in size. If they get too dirty, just pop in the washer. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Awesome versatile shoes!
My wife bought these for me for Father's Day and I have to admit I was apprehensive. This much for a pair of sandals seemed high, but it was well worth it. These are the most comfortable shoes/sandals that I have ever worn. They are great for everyday wear, but look good also with some dressier shorts and shirts. They are wonderful in the water and dry quickly and the footbed is very soft. Overall, I can't be any happier. Be advised that they run about 1/2 to 1 full size small, so order a larger size than you normally do. Lastly, ZAPPOS ROCKS! I wanted these for a cruise that I was leaving on in 2 days from when I ordered them. When the CS rep found out they wouldn't be here in time, she immediately upgraded to free overnight shipping. I had the shoes the next morning. I will always stay with Zappos with this type of "customer-first" service approach. Thanks Zappos!

New H2s look sharp, not quite as comfortable as my old pair -
I've had a pair of Newports for about 3 years now. The first time I put them on, they felt like I had slipped my feet into incredibly comfortable gloves. The material the old pair is made of is micro-fiber like. It has a little stretch to it and I really like that. The material in the new pair reminds me of ballistic nylon. It seems incredibly durable and seems to hold up well. These new H2s just don't have that wrap-my-foot-like-a-glove that I get from the old pair. I still enjoy wearing them, they are comfortable, and they are my dress Keens now. I still slip on the old pair when I can though.

The Newports are very comfortable and look like great quality. I think they are a little pricey, but if they last as long as I suspect, they will be worth the price.

Bought these for everyone!
My sister had the women's version for a trip abroad, then her boyfriend got some, then I got a pair for my husband who absolutely loves them (better without socks) and even my choosy 18 year old son wanted a pair. I also got two more pair as gifts for two young men who are helping us with repairs around the house. These are a WIN, WIN, WIN with every age guy I know from 18 to 60.

Best Walking Shoe -
I am a Keen addict. I have a great collection of Keen Newport H2 in a variety of colors for myself. I just bought two new colors from Zappos for myself and I also purchase them for my husband. I used to buy the leather Newports, but I have now switched to Newport H2. Although the leather in the regular Newports is waterproof and washable, I now prefer the H2 web as it dries faster and is lighter on your foot. You can even wash them in the washing machine. My husband already had some Newports, but felt they were a little tight. I just purchased the Newport H2 in bison/brown and in black for my husband and went up a half size from his regular size. As for the ladies, I recommend going up a half size as well. We travel all over the world and found that these are fantastic walking shoes. We even wear them out to dinner as dress shoes when traveling. You can wear them with or without socks, which makes them 3 season sandals/shoes. They are just as wonderful to wear doing errands at home or just walking in the neighborhood. We just got back from Turkey and we got a lot of compliments on our Keen Newports. Everyone asks me where to get them, I always tell them Zappos.com. There are other stores that carry them, but NO ONE has the selection of colors and Keen styles that Zappos does. I have purchased Newports for myself, husband, two sons, daughter, son-in-law, and niece. Both my husband and I now have an outstanding Newport wardrobe in beautiful colors. Thank you Zappos for your outstanding color and style selection and for making shoe shopping not only easy, but one of my favorite hobbies!

 |  | Dear Zappos - I felt compelled to write to you to tell you how much I admire that way you do business. My husband and I owned and operated our own business for over 25 years. We had 72 employees and over 250 outside sales reps and generated $50 millin in sales. We too concentrated on customer service which in turn provided valued customer loyalty. So I have some understanding of what you face on a daily basis. This was my first order with Zappos. I found your site quick and easy to navigate. I placed my order on a Friday and had the shoes on Monday. I tried them on on Tuesday and the right shoe made a funny sound when I walked - like air coming out. I tried walking back and forth on my living room rug but it didn't go away. I called your Customer Service Dept. and explained the situation and immediately a return label was emailed to me and a new pair was overnnighted. How easy was that! And the person who I dealt with (who's name I unfortunately don't have) was totally professional and friendly. Now today I received a hand written thank you note from the CS rep. You can be sure that I will continue to order shoes from you and have spread the news about Zappos to all my friends! Kudos to you!
Sincerely,
