Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Leather Sandals

These sandals are barely sandals - shoes with more breathing room. The closed toes however make these sandals deceptively warm. I find that I blister easily at my ankle and the sides of my feet. I'm erring on the side that these will get better. If I wear these with socks, these are great for a mile or two of city walking and then I get a bit sore.

These sandals are very warm, as in sweaty feet warm. I have slightly wide feet and the sandals feel a bit narrow.

This would be the narrowest sandal my feet have ever encountered. After a dunk in the Pacific, they got tighter. One hour max wear at a time. My feet have spoken, garden and dog doodoo action only.

TOO STIFF - The insole of the shoe is too stiff and harhd on the bottom of your feet. The shoe looks great, but is too uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour...not walking.

Stff - The shoe looks great anbd feels good at beginning. But what is directly under your foot is very uncomfortable and stiff. Tough to stand on for a while. All it needs is more comfort on the insole and it would be great.

The Shoe is too small - I usually ware I size 10. Because of the reviews posted saying the shoes ran small, I ordered a 10 ½. Even the 10 and ½ was too small. I am now sending the shoe back for an exchange to a size 11. Hopefully they will fit. Also, the Keens are a little hot for a sandal. On very hot days, I would ware Tevas.

The quality has gone down. This pair has already ripped.

Rear strap not adjustable, making the process of putting the sandal on very onerous.

Unable to insert feet due to lack of adjustable rear strap. When forced into the shoe, it was too small for my feet.

Very unconfortable. Tried wearing them around the house, but after an hour I had to take them off and return them.

I was expecting a comfortable, American made sandal. These are not comfortable for me.

Mystery last pair, same model were great and lasted 15 years. AS for the new ones: Over the weeks since I have had the sandals they opened up a sore on my achilles tendon. I guess they run small?

My order defaulted to a D width, no choices. I ordered anyway and, sure enough, they were too narrow. My bad for not being a more aware customer, their bad for not giving me some choices. These go back but I’d buy another pair if I can find an E or EE.

Don't really like these, but I've already worn them so can't return. I think they are pretty ugly but seemed like many people raved about them so I gave them a try. They are too wide and don't hug the foot at all. I pulled the "laces" as tight as they could go and still doesn't help. Not worth the price tag for me.

I bought these to replace a pair of original Newports that are finally wearing out. The H2 has a different sole, toe, and much more arch support than my old pair. Both are the same size but the new ones are tighter especially at the toe. I'm not sure yet if I like the arch or not. This is definitely a less relaxed shoe than the original. It is a good looking sandal. Delivery from Zappos was very prompt.

Stinky shoes! Because they are built like construction boots during hot summers they will make your feet sweat and consequently stinky. I never had a problem with any of my sandals but Keens are more of a boot than a sandal. They will suffocate your feet, not breathable at all. Very disappointed in these shoes.

Bought these shoes in the correct size, however the bands around the toes just seemed to be right on the very edges of my toes thus leaving me with red marks just in the trying on period. I found the venice Keen's to be better fitting on my toes, reordering new size for that one. Hope that works out. IF the bands work for you, then I think you'd find these to be a very comfortable shoe--thus my rating.

These are nice sandals but have a weird metatarsal (or toe) grip strip that fits under the first toe joints. The problem is if you have short or long toes the grip strip will hit you in the wrong place.

Too hot for tropical climates. Amazing that a sandle could make your feet sweat so much. Also very heavy. These shoes made there way to the bottom of my closet under my beloved Birkenstocks and Tevas.
