Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Very poor quality. After replacing a well worn pair of Newports with a new pair of Newport H2. They started to fall apart at the seams after just a couple months of casual use.

Excellent. I wear my Keen sandals and low hikers over 300 days/year for more than the last 10 years. As usual, these Hydros were perfect right out of the box.

I got these for a Grand Canyon rafting trip. I wore them IN my home (NEVER outside) for a month to make sure I could wear them on my trip. I wore them ONE NIGHT in a sandy camp before we hit the water and the outsole began debonding! I only wore them in a sandy camp, no rocks, no long hikes. Thankfully I had an old pair of Nike running shoes as backup or the whole week long trip would have been ruined. These sandals are comfortable, but NOT durable at all. Im really disappointed with them.

I should've went a half size bigger. Other than that, they're comfortable.

This is the second pair, of this type, of Keen footwear I have owned. To date I still have the first pair that I bought more than five years ago. And this second pair seems to be just as durable and well made. I like the style of these Newport H2 sandal/ shoes and especially the toe protection. Its nice to be able to wear them without socks and still feel comfortable! I have a third pair, leather, that I havent broken in yet, but Im hoping for the best.

This is one of the best walking sandal Ive had. Ive been wearing Keens for years and have gone through several pair. These have held up longer than all of the sandals. I walked the streets and beaches of Barcelona and Lisbon and they were perfect for the environment. I have had to have the stitching touched up on the sides, but its 12 bucks well spent. Ordered a backup pair because they rock.

I was nervous about the size, thinking I may need a wide, which isn't available. I did go with the recommended half size up [10] and was relieved these fit so well. Extra comfortable heel and midsole support is great. They are now my go to summer shoe/sandal, far more comfortable than my Chaco Z-1s ever were.

Comfort, safety, durability. Broad color selection. Dries fast after washing or rain. Protection of toes while biking and hiking. One pair is not enough!

I generally like my new shoes. They are certainly well made and will last a long time. However, my PREVIOUS pair of Keen's were better! They had a velcro side strap which made them VERY EASY to put on. These are more difficult to put on. You should make the shoes/sandals with the velcro side strap available again.

I bought a pair of Keens years ago in Colorado. They last longer than any other sandal or shoe I have owned, for time they were worn. The sandal fits my foot very well, wide, length and arch. I can wear them all day long and my feet don't get tired. I don't run in them, but wear them all over town, or to the bench, or climbing around rocks. I have wide feet and need the wide sandal. I still have the old ones, but wanted a new pair. So I bought the Men's Newport H2 | Magnet/Tie Dye.

These are so comfortable, durable & not ugly at all!!

I bought these at REI just shy of one year ago this month. Within the same week the toe cap on the left shoe became detached from the rest of the shoe on the top side. Then a couple days later the rear anchor point on the right shoe came out of the footbed. This was my second pair of this model of Keen shoes and the first pair last 8+ years. I don't know what's going on with Keen quality but sure would be nice if they addressed it because this latest pair was a total let down.

The only shoe I wear in the summer. They run a little small

My closet is full of keens, a pair for nearly ever occasion. Various hiking conditions, kayaking, around the house, gardening (some great colors, some not so great but functional) good or bad? I cant seem to wear them out. Guess KEEN will have to design casual going out at night shoes (please!)

I have purchased many different Keen shoes over the years and have been more than happy with the overall durability and quality of their products. Unfortunately the Newport H2's are an exception. The soles on both pairs I own quickly become hard as a rock, losing their ability to grip on smooth surfaces (i.e, rocks!) making them downright dangerous. Especially so in wet conditions. When I contacted Keen customer service to inquire about a possible remedy for this condition I was told to just replace them with some new ones. Yeah right!! I've had only had them three years. That's a pretty short lifespan for two pairs of $105 shoes.

The Sandler looks nice but wearing it is very uncomfortable. The design makes it difficult to put it on and slip my foot inside plus if you wear socks, it fits too tight. I cant suggest buying it.

The Sandal is so comfortable it feels like Im on a cloud. I will be getting another pair soon

Very comfortable! Breathes well, feels natural, and my girlfriend loves them!

I really love it; however, a wide size would improve them a lot. I got my first pair 18 years ago, used to be more "comfortable" and easy to put on.

I think that this is my eighth pair of H2's so I'm fanboy / biased but I do like them quite a bit. These new ones size a little smaller than previously so watch out for that. They wear well and the only flaw is my own fault when I step on the strap instead of pulling it over my heel and it wears out over time. I cut the strap off eventually when it's worn out but that's no good either because they come off too easily. They are pretty close to perfect for me as daily summer footwear.

Probably my 6th, or 7 pair of Newport H2 and I dont see that ending, anytime soon. Great sandals and their bulletproof.

The sandals did not feel comfortable.

Bought these in sept 22, now in late Jan 23, stitching pulling out on both shoes.
