Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Sandals

Husband really likes them! I have a pair of these I took to Hawaii and my husband was so jealous! We were so excited to finally find them in his size (15) and he loves them! He wears them all the time now and can't wait for our next trip to the beach!

Perfection - I realize these are a bit expensive for what most would call a sandal, but I think anyone who buys it will be wearing it for many summers to come. That is if your in a seasonal area. If it's hot all the time I'd buy a couple pairs. For people like myself make sure you get as nice a pair of winter boots. These things will make you want to be on your feet more!

Great shoe! Other than needing a "cool" shoe, the reason I decided to purchase was because of the outstanding customer reviews. The reviewers were absolutely correct! Very comfortable, ventilated and sturdy shoe that can go anywhere. They dry really quick as well. The only slight drawback is that my feet do sweat quite a bit when worn barefoot, i.e. the sole is a little warm. The anti bacterial/odor rubber sole works very well; however, after a long 12 hour work day (summer), there is a slight odor. The odor quickly disappears withing a couple of hours of rest. Great shoe that i highly recommend!! Also, ZAPPOS customer service is AWESOME!

Great shoe! I bought them for hiking/swimming rivers but I found myself wearing them everywhere! Nice!

Awesome sandal - These sandals are actually shaped like a foot, wider around the front, narrower by the heel, which makes them extremely comfortable. The toeguard is great, walking in wet tall grass I didn't even feel the grass on my feet. The sole has very good grip, went hiking by a river on large boulders and had excellent traction. Highly recommended!

The everything sandal - I ordered up 1/2 size and it fit perfectly. Does everything it claims and looks cool while doing it.

Mud hole! Wore these shoes to a music festival on top of a mountain in WV. Rain all weekend and mud ankle deep in spots, these shoes held up great, and cleaned up well when I returned home.

Overall very comfortable. I bought these for my husband who has a lot of trouble finding sandals that fit him well. This is the pair.

My Favorite Shoes - I wear my Keen's every day in the summer. My job allows me to dress casually & these shoes allow my feet to breath without exposing my toes which makes them more acceptable in a business environment. I can't explain how comfortable they are, you just have to buy a pair to experience them.

Good Sandal - To me, it's a rather ugly, funky sandal. It is comfortable b/c of the wider toebox, but the arch area edge/lip of the footbed is slightly elevated, which makes it a little uncomfortable over extended walks...and a deal killer for me when there are other sandals without this "issue." Almost perfect in the fit dept. If Keen only takes note of fixing this area. Definitely try before you buy.

Super sandals - These are well-made, comfortable, interesting-looking sandals.

Highly recommended - Great product. Well made. Cool and light weight. Love the toe protection.

My husband and son's Keens. My son loves the shoe, but my husband says that it is a very comfortable shoe but his foot gets extremely hot in it after wearing for a long period of time...

Keen Newport H2 - The shoes are great. They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I bought mine a half size larger so that I could have the option of wearing some hiking socks in them if I wanted to. Zappos service is outstanding. The best on line shopping experience I've had yet.

I bought these shoes for a 45 day trip to Europe after reading good reviews. I have been wearing them for almost two weeks breaking them in. I like the look and the fit. My complaint is the absorbency in the inner sole of the shoe. I may have hot feet but I never have noticed before. The inner soles are rubber and my feet are constantly hot and wet. the only good thing is that my wet feet don't slip in the shoes. The insides are a little rough but they are getting better. Overall a good shoe and will be great for hiking the cobblestones.

Keen's Newport H2 a blister of a rub - I have narrow flat feet and consistently have fit problems when buying shoes. These sandals were true to size and fit great. I am somewhere between a 10 1/2 to 11. I bought the 11's and they were right on the money. However, the inner neoprene liner on the nylon strap on the inside arch of one of the shoes folded in and created a blister on the instep of my foot. Maybe this happened because I am flat footed and had more pressure there than the average person. And yet, it seems to me that this design would do that wherever someone had a pressure point and some movement with the foot. Now a callus is forming and I fold the neoprene back to "train" it into place and it seems to be doing the job. There also is some issue with the location of the webbing and the little toe. My wife and I both have a little discomfort there. The edge of the webbing lines up right with the top of the little toe. Besides that they are great sandals/shoes and we love the fact that they are closed toe and hold onto the foot like a shoe.

Great shoe - Normally wear size 13EEE in rockport and most dress shoes. The regular width size 13 of the keen fits perfectly. Super comfortable, very versatile and great looking. Have received many compliments.

Very good sandal, some short comings. This is the most versatile sandal that I've ever owned. Comfortable and supportive unlike most sandles. I've run in it, hard running turns are not recommended but much more support than any other sandal I've owned. The key short coming that I've realized is that the sole doesn't seem to have a good traction/grip. As an example I was walking in short, dry grass on a slight incline and slipped. The traction/grip is less than desired I've tested the same surface with my Nike's which don't slip as the Keen H2. The shoe does dry quickly. However, if you have a sweaty foot the rubbery anti-bacterial insole can get a little uncomfortable. I've never experienced this with leather sandal. The insole is more supportive with a bit of an arch which is more than I expected.

Great shoes - My husband loves these- followed advice and bought up half a size and they fit great- super comfortable!

Love my hot new H2s - I live in Alameda, CA; home of Keen shoes. Lots of people have been wearing them, and I wanted to find out what I was missing. I am totally satisfied with my purchase. I wanted a comfortable shoe that would do double duty - casual, and "dress down" Fridays at work. And, the best part is I don't need to use my orthotic inserts, as the shoe is designed with so much support!

Newport H2 is great for sailing - I've always had to balance boat shoes and sandals. The get good traction and protect my toes, I had to deal with sweaty feet. The H2s are the perfect sandal for sailing. They are also good for walking on reefs and can protect from sea urchin spines. I use neoprene socks when the weather gets cool at sea, and no longer have to carry sea boots. Great product.

Review of Newport H2 - I like the arch support. I walked around Paris for one week as a typical tourist and the shoe felt great.

Keen Newport H2 - So far so good. Haven't worn them in the salt water yet as that will be the real test.

Very comfy - But not the best-looking shoe. So much of your foot is covered that, from the top, it almost doesn't even look like a sandal. But it's a great shoe for walking on the beach, boating, etc.
