Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Good Shoe - The only problem I had with the H2's was that they rubbed my right little toe and my inner left foot and left blisters but I put mole skin on the inside and after they broke in I had no problems. Both me and my wife walked through the jungles of honduras and got them totally wet and were comfortable. I would recomend them to anyone that needs a comfortable shoe like sandle that can get wet without falling off.

Very Pleased - This is THE most comfortable shoe I own. It's better than my Teva sandals in functionality, and very close to my Simple sandals in comfort, however these Keen's are the best. The grip is amazing. The style and color is great. The comfort is superb. Keep in mind that they do run a little small. I typically wear a size 10 or sometimes a 10.5, but the Keen's I had to buy size 11. One last (small) caveat - these shoes are a little tricky to put on because the rear ankle strap is not elastic. Once they are donned, they feel like an extension of your feet. BTW, the non elastic rear strap is a good thing, otherwise the strap would stretch over months of use and probably make the fit too loose.

Keen Newport H2 - Shoe holds well to boat surface. Is comfortable. Protects against stubbed toes.

Keen for the money - I recently bought a pair of keen H2's in a 13. They were a little big and loose and my little toe kept popping out of the side of the shoe. So I ordered a pair of 12's ( they don't make 12 1/2) and they were tight( which is OK ) but my toes hit the end of the toe cap .The 13 is larger than stated. All in All these are great protective outdoor/water sandals. If you don't mind dropping the money on them I reccommend them.

Great sandals - First, the Zappo's service and customer service reps are great!! I have not worn the H2's for very long, but so far they are great.

Great boating shoe - White sole Keen Newport H2 is the best shoe on the market to spend a comfortable day boating. Fast drying when it gets wet and it's non marking sole protects your deck.

Keen Newport h2 - Comfortable and nice looking.

Gsandals - These are my first pair of sandals, and I think they are great. I especially like the enclose toe, a little more protection is always good. Very comfortable and quick drying.

Nicely Ugly - I like the Keen's Newport H2 a lot. I do find that I have to wear socks with them because they rub my feet sore in places. However, they are a very comfortable walking shoe that give a lot of support.

These sandals rock! Very big fan, these are comfortable, functional, and durable. They are much better alternative to Teva's, which, while comfortable as well, suck around camp. There is only 1 criticism, the rear ankle loop seems a bit flimsy, but I haven't had any trouble with it. Keep your toes happy, get these sandals!

Excellent shoes - I haven't used these for very long but they are comfortable, good-looking and fit well. Because of rubber insole they feel warmer than other sandals.

I love the look of the sandle; however, they feel like they are made with very cheap materials.

Good quality

15 mo ths later - incredibly comfortable and supportive but sadly the strap came out of the foot bedding. The shoe material itself is solid and shows almost no fraying or discoloration but the adhesives or assembly must not be as tough the components. Expected better given they are not my everyday shoe. Yoi can see they are not " worn out"

the shoe are tight and stiff

Love these Keens, but there was a quality control issue with this particular pair: One shoe slightly shorter than the other, just enough to stub the toes on that foot. Sending back and may order a different pair later.

my husband wanted leather not this material.

The sizing of Keen Newport H2s in size 14 got smaller in 2023. I have purchased at least fifteen pairs of Newport H2s in size 14 over the past decade or so. I wear them every day, all year round. At some point in the first half of 2023, the sizing changed, at least for size 14, and new Newport H2s in size 14 became about a half inch shorter in length than pre-2023 Newport H2s in size 14. I thought it might have been a one-time manufacturing error that affected only one or two of the new colors, but I have tried ordering different colors of Newport H2s from different places several times since May 2023, and the outsoles of all of the new size 14s are about a half inch shorter and at least a few millimeters narrower in the toe-box area than the pre-2023 pairs I still have in the house. I have ordered a size 15 instead, but while the outsole of the 2023-and-later size 15 is now almost exactly the same length from heal to toe as that of the pre-2023 size 14s, the current size 15 is bigger in other dimensions than the pre-2023 size 14s, and the fit does not work well for me.

Nice shoe but needs to come in wider widths

Good looking sandal with firm arch support. However, the shoe provides a rough ride, not very comfortable. I didn’t return them, thinking they would break in after some wear. They remain very hard and i just can’t make myself wear them. I wish I had returned them, since they remain in the closet.

seemed like pretty nice shoes, but too small. I have been wearing keens for about 10 years though only leather ones. as has been mentioned earlier, the leather may fit better than the plastic ones since there is a little stretch or give, I am not sure as none of the styles I like are available near my size in leather. wish Keen would bring back older style open toe/with heel strap leather like the targee. sad they now have plastic footbed and no heel strap, also seem to be discontinued in the "new" version as well. only one size left of those.

A person would clearly need to order at least a half size larger as this particular model runs small.

Looks like a good shoe but at least a full size small. I couldn't even get my foot in it.
