Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Like them so much it's my second pair. I wear these things everywhere! For an all-around outdoor sandal I could not ask for more. Comfort and protection for water sports like kayaking and jet-skiing is great. My only and very minor complaint is my feet sweat in them on occasion.

Exceptionally Good and Comfortable - I just ordered my second pair. I've been enjoy my first pair for the past two months and decided I wanted another to switch off with. Living in Florida I wear sandals most of the year. These are the best cross between a sandal and a tennis shoe ever. Boy are they comfortable and good looking too. I highly recommended them!

My third pair of Keens. The first pair were the Newports and these shoes rock!! I work retail, long hours on the feet all day. The feet are still happy at the end of those long days.

These shoes are awesome - These shoes run a little short so definitely order up. They are so comfortable and I wear them everywhere. I get compliments on them all the time and I got my husband a pair after he saw mine and commented on them. Their look is definitely "outdoorsy/sporty" so it's not for everyone but I think they look cool!

Jay - These shoe are very comfortable and would recommend them to all of my friends.

My First, But Not Last Pair of Keens - Buy 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. These are comfortable and durable. I've done everything from canyoneering in S. Utah to wet wading in Idaho with them. Super comfortable and you'll get use to the style! I now own 3 other styles of Keen thru Zappos.

Most comfortable shoe/sandal I've ever purchased - I first bought a pair of Keen's a few months ago that were a fully closed sandal/shoe and found them to be so comfortable and versatile I gravitated to the Newport H2. Loved the look and style and the fit is like a second skin. You could run in these! They are also waterproof so they can be worn anywhere. They are certainly worth the price for the durability, fit and comfort. Try them, you WILL love them!

Luv my Keen's! The Newport H2 is the 2nd pair of keen's I've bought. I work in Healtcare and am on my feet all day. These are the greatest! Never have any foot or backache after a long day.

If you like Tiva's you will love the Keen H2's - What a great shoe, the sole has very good traction a the toe cap is a plus when walking over rocky river beds. It is wide in the ball-of-the-foot area which lets your foot spread out and gives you a lot of room for your toes so they are jamed into the end of the shoe... its a more natural bare foot like fit.

Excellent outdoor/all aound shoe - Excellent hot weather/wet weather shoe. Light and secure onthe foot. The toe is excellent and provides a lot more security that my other sandals. I think I will be wearing this pair a lot.

Great summer and boat show - Both my husband I bought a pair of these shoes. We love them. Very comfortable, easy on the feet especially when you are standing on the boat fishing all day. Colors choices are excellent and stylish. We also use them when riding our bikes, our feet stay cool and they don't slip.

Satisfied Keen customer in Auburn - My wife and I both own a pair of the Keen Newport H2, and we both really like them. The fit is very good for both wide and narrow feet, which is very hard to find. The quality seems superior, and the comfort is excellent. Good cushioning in the right places and great support. There were no bad "break-in" spots like you have with most other brands. The look is a little heavy for me, but the performance outweighs the styling. I would definitely buy other Keen products based on the performance of this one.

Nice shoes! Very comfortable - I have 2 pairs of keen shoes (these and the clogs) and they are both extremely comfortable and look very nice as well.

Keen Newport H2's great for water, not sand - I bought these based on a recommendation from a pro dog walker so I knew they were well tested. Although they're a bit clunkly-looking I found them very comfortable for normal wear but I really bought them for water/boat/dock activities. On this front they were great - excellent comfort and traction when on slippery decks and gooey bottoms (in my case, clamdigging). They also dried very quickly. However, I have two complaints: 1. I did not like them at the beach. I found sand really piled up at the front under both my toes and arch. It was an uncomforable, annoying experience. 2. They are not very easy to slip on- it takes some work and definitely requires the use of your hands. In summary, although they are very useful and comfortable, they are close to, but not quite, the perfect summer shoe for all activities. I'd recommend them for walking and wet activities except beach-wear.

Comfortable but a little sweaty - I don't normally have sweaty feet, but these things get pretty hot pretty quick if you're just sitting around in them. Other than that, they are great. They look super, fit well and feel comfortable (but hot) from the first wearing, and match my sport-casual parenting lifestyle.

What about replacement elastic closure cord? I have a pair of Newport H2 sandals, which I LOVE for comfort and looks (they are lilac colored - very cute). However, I also have a brand new puppy who got her teeth on the elastic cord and quickly had it chewed in pieces. I thought that replacing it would be a snap. Not so. I emailed Keen, and they promptly sent me the hard plastic part, but I have yet to find a store that carries Keens that also sells replacement shoelaces. For $80+ for a pair of shoes, you would think they would have thought about the eventuality of a broken shoelace. Once they address this issue, I will be keener on my Keens.

Keen Newport H2 - Great fit and comfort. A terrific summer sandal!

Keen, what else is there? When my husband and I discovered Keen, we both bought 2 pairs each - the price was not an issue once we tried them on. We own a rafting business so we are in the river all day long. They are the best in the water and out. We even purchased a pair for our employees. We recommend Keen shoes to all our customers and hope to carry them in our store in the future!

Mark's Newport review - I find these shoes to be extremely comfortable. I love everything except the choice of colors seems to have become pretty sedate.

AWESOME! These are my second pair.

Best Kicks Ever! - I was trying to find a pair of mens size 7 in stores for a while...to no avail. I found them on Zappos & these sandals rock. Exceptionally comfortable & well fitting. The traditional has been fantastic as well. The insole feels custom made. They work great with my feet 7e+

Hyped shoe - These shoes are, remakably, every bit as good as their considerable hype.

Great all around shoe - Bought these for my husband. He loves them. He has wide feet so they fit especially nice. Definitely had to go 1/2 size larger than his "normal" size. Of course, Zappos is fantastic about exchanges!

The best! I purchased my Keens in March of this year. After a trip to the beach in California, I had the misfortune to step in some sludge that I assume had been dumped off shore. They were a mess and smelled like gasoline. I soaked them in mineral spirits and scrubbed the heck out of them. Except for some normal wear on the shoe they look almost brand new. I recommend these shoes to anyone who wants to get their money's worth!
