Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

We have been buying these sandals for our kids for years. As the older one outgrows them, they get passed down to the younger one, and when she outgrows them, we pass them on to someone else; they've always been so durable. That's why I'm surprised that this pair, which I bought a little over a year ago, and which hasn't gotten that much wear from my teen (he mostly wears sneakers) just completely fell apart (strap separated from the sole). Unfortunately, Keens' warranty only covers one year from the purchase date and we are just outside that window. We will buy a new pair and hope they last longer. Especially frustrating that this happened to a pair in an "adult" size...which costs a lot more than the "big kid" sizes.

Too narrow for my wide foot ??

I did not like the comfort at all for this shoe. I ended up returning them because they are not as comfortable as other brands of shoes I have had of the same type.

These shoes caused me to get plantar fascitis. Look good....but terrible uncomfortable after wearing for 2 hours

I received shoes that were clearly used and wrong size and color. This concerns me as even a casual examination by Zappos when previous buyer returned these would have shown they were used.

I wear a womans 10.5 in Wide but sometimes I used to settle for a mens D width shoe in 8.5 or even 8. These Keens were a good Sale shoe & probably because they were so constricting & uncomfortable with a heel strap not much longer than a bandaid. I wish they still made real leather shoes with real leather straps that were easy & comfy.

Difficult to put on. Not enough stretch. Disappointed in them.

I couldn't get my foot into the shoe will try the next size up

I couldn't get my foot into shoe I wear from a 9.5 to a 10

I bought these for a trip to the Grand Canyon. They began falling apart on the third day. The sole began coming detached at the heel and the arch support area. I was very disappointed in the quality of this shoe.

Full size smaller maybe more

Something has happened to Keen sandals since I last bought a pair of Newports about 6-7 years ago. I can't even come close to getting these Newport H2 or the current Newport on my foot. The length and width would be fine if I could get them on, but the size of the foot opening is way smaller than on my older Newports, and it doesn't stretch much at all. Apparently someone at Keen has decided all men have low insteps. I had the same issue with a pair of Rapids H2 I tried. At least on those I could unhook the velcro strap behind the heel, but once my foot was inside the velcro strap was too short to close again. It's really a shame, because I switched to Keen when Teva changed the design of my former favorite closed-toe sandals, and now I can't wear Keens either. You wouldn't think it would be so difficult to find a quality pair of closed-toe sandals that fit.

This was crazy. I ordered 10.5 US, but they were slightly too small. Replaced with 11, not really any better. Replaced with 11.5, and they were even smaller than the original 10.5s! At that point I just gave up and returned them. Zappos claims Keen are standard size. No way!

My previous pair of Keens, which were the same size as these, fit perfectly. These are much too tight.

Looking for a good beach/sand walking shoe or sandal, I ordered this. When it arrived, I loved the style and the open back with just the strap appeared it would easily drain out sand at the end of the walk. Unfortunately, I could barely get my size 15 foot in the size 15 Keen Newport H2. The instep is too low. I have a high instep foot. Very uncomfotable. Reluctantly returned.

Fit and size are okay. I had previously own a pair of the Keen sandals which lasted for 8-9 years. I bought these almost two years ago and one of them is already ripping around the heel/Achilles section. I use these at the beach and on the river, but not sure why these new Keen's are not as high quality design as my others.

Arch support is not acceptable

This model of Keen fits differently from shoe to shoe (and Left to right foot). If you look closely youll notice a 1/2 inch difference in the webbing toward the front toe coverings! Even my older pair has this defect. With these it was worse leaving room for my little toe to stick out. For some reason Keen cant make a true to form left and right sandal!

My son had trouble getting his foot into these and then they were very big and wide, after sizing down a half size from what he wears in sneakers.

Been buying this style/ size for years and in the past always super comfy...but no longer! They are slightly narrower than in the past, and the material is slightly stiffer, making them absolutely miserable to wear.
