I bought these because a friend bought a pair and I liked the look and their rugged construction, and that they were waterproof. Even though I'll continue to wear them outside, I am disappointed in a couple of things. The overall fit was okay, but I found that the pebbly, inside surface was a bit rough on my heels after wearing them for a few hours. The rubber sole has a very strong, chemical odor - I ran them through the washing machine and still it is there. I have to store them on my porch to keep the rubber smell out of the house. My friend's pair didn't have this smell.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This was the sixth pair of KEEN Newport H2, all the same size (12D), four pair from Zappos. The others have all been great. But with this pair the strap nearest the ankle doesn't lie flat against the side of the foot, and I see that the stitching on this strap is in a different place than on my other H2s. So I will return them.

Arch support felt too uncomfortable, the back strap felt harsh against my heel, the arch support was okay but felt too much on both sides of my arch. Probably the most uncomfortable things ive ever wore.

This pair of Keens was defective. On the right sandal, the elastic cord became disconnected from the yellow plastic pull tab. I am returning them to Zappos. I have already received a replacement pair. I have worn Keens for years, and I've never had this problem before.

Sadly, Keen doesn't seem to make shoes with wide, roomy toe boxes anymore. I tried the women's size 11 and those were too narrow. So I tried the men's and they weren't any better. Keen used to be our go-to for hiking boots and sandals, but I won't be ordering any more. Sad.

After struggling to get them on, they were not snug enough. Why did they remove the velcro heel strap?

Let me first say, I love Keen sandals. They are the perfect boat shoe and have saved my toes from the pains and penalties of dock cleats many times. The Newport H2 however are the fist Keen shoes that have a design flaw in the outside webbing after the toe. It grabs the pinky toe nail. I've lost 2 nails.

The stitching came undone from the straps during the end of the 2nd season that I had them.

Shoes did not match size specified. Bought Keen sandals before and wore them out, loved them. Went to get new ones but local store didn't have my size so they came from LLBean warehouse. No issues there at all. Put them on and left foot hurt like crazy since too small even though labeled at 11.5 which was the size I had before. Local store took them back. Need to go back and get a set that fits properly eventually. Seems like a manufacturing issue or screw up.

I thought the sandals were a cheaper copy of the Keen brand I purchased last year and the before that.They seem skimpy next to my past purchases.

Unfortunately, I had to return these and get a half size up; received the new pair, but they are almost too small - they're very tight without socks. Never had this much of a size issue with prior Keen purchases.

Great sandals, but began falling apart about a month ago. First the sole began pulling away on both shoes, so I re- glued. Today the strap pulled out of the sole. I think this is my fifth pair of Keens and to last only a year is a disappointment.

I've bought 4 pairs because they're the best looking and functional. Just don't get them wet. All 4 pairs fell apart due to stitching failure. Keen was no help, they recommended I go to a shoe repair place. I can't believe the 5-star reviews.

Size and fit were great. Unfortunately I can’t hike any distance in shoes like this. I got blisters and cuts on my toes on my first three mile walk. Maybe if you wear socks they would work. Just no good for me.

My husband loves these shoes but the back strap starting falling apart after he wore them on his first trip out. He doesn’t wear them except for when he is walking in the river or at the water park. They started pulling apart within the first 90 days but of course when he pulled them out to use this summer, it was just past the year mark and they tore more and it was too late to return. Customer service stated it was considered normal wear and tear, but based on the other ratings, this is not normal, it’s poor construction. Bummer my husband didn’t tell me last month when they were still within the year timeframe. Waste of money. Shoes that aren’t worn daily or used harshly should last longer than a year.

I love the Keen Newport but this one which I bought in the same size is much smaller than the others. Almost as if it is mid sized. I feel like I need an entire size bigger. Not sure what the problem is with this one. Dry disappointing especially since I wore them out one time before figuring out why they were so uncomfortable. Now I’m stuck.

Third time for this review and it’s still not posting. I write even handed reviews and they shouldn’t be sanitized. It’s a disservice to customers. A terrible sandal in every regard. They’re oversized, too wide, a footbed that feels like gravel. To top it off the synthetic materials scrape your skin right off.

I am very disappointed, it’s a gift for my husband and the color is not something he will like. The photo on the website looks nothing like the shoes I received.

I ordered a 9 (correct size), but I couldn't get my foot in it. So, returned it and got a 9 1/2.Same problem. So, I think it is just a design flaw. So returning again. Too bad, they look great, just can't get them on my feet
