Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Most comfortable sandal type shoe I own. No break in required and can be worn for long periods without socks. Pretty remarkable.

Great shoe for Florida summers. I normally wear 8.5 but this 9 is fine. Takes a few days to get used to the tightness over the top of the foot but it goes away. Lots of compliments from people on the look. I would recommend the shoe but try them on somewhere else then buy from Zappos.

Great shoe. I used to wear Tevas, but these are way better. Love the closed toe. There were the only shoes I brought to a 2 week hiking/relaxing trip in Costa Rica and they were perfect.

Flip flops don't get the job done, result...I love the H2. They are great to just slip on and go for a walk, light hike or just bum around town. They are also extremely comfortable and durable. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a solid pair of shoes and doesn't want the risks of flip flops.

My daughter recommended these Newport sandals, and I have been wearing them every day since I received them. I find them to be just about the best sandals I have ever worn. Very comfortable and cool. Exactly what is needed for Florida summers. I am ready to try other Keen shoes.

I bought these for a 10 day trip to Paris and they were great! Instantly comfortable, with no break-in needed. I walked all day in them for the whole trip and my feet felt great! I couldn't be happier with them.

Very comfortable and highly recommended; the only disappointment was that it felt a little tight and I do not have wide feet.

Great for beach and general walking. The straps connected to the sole in different positions in the left and right shoe. Returned for a second pair - okay, but not good quality control.

Almost perfect--heel strap needs work. My requirements were comfortable, fully ventilated, lace-less shoes. Although this may sound like a sandal, I was also looking for a closed toe, secure fit, and an overall shoe-like appearance. The Newport H2 is a little bulkier and clunkier than I desired, but I'm getting used to that. Improvements over the Nike amphibious shoes I used to wear include a more substantial toe, and one of those anti-microbial insoles--that together with ventilation--cool. The heel strap seems to be this shoe's weakest point. On the first day, the pull loop on one heel strap began to rip free, and on the third, the stitching broke. This is a bummer because the strap is not substantial enough to slip on without fingers, (or a shoe horn). Also, putting the shoe on, the comfortable lining material tends to get folded under the strap. However, a Keen Newport with a substantial heel counter would probably be my ideal all-purpose shoe.

I have been wearing Keens for 15 years. Have travelled the world in them. For some reason the last two pairs are too tight. Either you are saving on material or my feet got bigger. My old keens fit fine. Unfortunately their bottom separated from the footwear. So I ordered a new pair. Same size. i think you are saving on material.

I really wanted to love these shoes, they are comfortable and great for boating/hiking. I bought a pair each for myself and my 2 sons primarily for an 8 day Grand Canyon rafting trip. I wore them a few times prior to the trip and exclusively while on the trip. I have worn them for evening walks since the trip, but noticed they have started falling apart at the strap near the heel on both of my shoes. My kids' have remained intact. They felt perfect on the trip and served their purpose well, but I cannot endorse them for falling apart after a month. My feet are fairly wide in comparison to my sons, so maybe that is something to keep in mind.

The is horrible. A damaged shoe and other that looks used. What is this! Unbelievable. No option for an exchange. Just a return. Will not order again. This is really poor service for an online retailer. I order online all the time and have very rarely seen this. Especially for an expensive item. Did not try them on for sizing but have owned many pair of these. They have been good in the past.

Do you ever get that feeling people are glaring at you? Well I do now... because the horrific smell that originates at my feet could kill a goat. I don't have foot odor, never have until now, anyway. The anti-microbial touted to keep these shoes and your feet smelling fresh and clean is completely ineffective, and after just three weeks of occasionally wearing these shoes the smell of my feet could gag a maggot. Only when wearing these shoes for now, but I fear it may become persistent if I continue to wear these shoes. Therefore, I think this pair of shoes is destined to go the way of the dinosaurs before they've even been fully broken in. Very sad, considering the price of these Keen Newport H2's. Otherwise I like them - look good, pretty comfortable, but WOW! do they have the ability to clear the sinuses of those unfortunate enough to wander close by. This is one time I wish I could get my money back, because I consciously decided to give these a try largely because of the anti-microbial claim. They've never been wet or anything, it's simply due to normal use. I wouldn't buy these again, and I'd definitely caution anyone who considers them. I rarely write bad reviews and I'm very happy with Zappos, but in my book the Keen Neport H2 gets a big thumbs-down.

Had success with Keen work boots, theses have not disappointed me for comfort.

These sandals are great. The first pair I bought lasted about 10 years. Mostly used them at the beach and almost always they went in the water. I'm very happy to finally have a new pair and they fit great.

I wear 10 1/2 to 11. Recommended I get 10 1/2. They fit perfect. Feel comfy on foot w sock or without. Grey and black color is cool. Industrial look. Bought to take to Costa Rica. I have bought many keen shoes and they hold up well.

Had an older pair of these which lasted me for years. So glad Keen makes them in my size. Opted for a more neutral color this time around. They look fantastic, fit right out of the box, no breaking in required. Saw some reviews about them wearing out quickly but I never had that with any Keen product. Would highly recommend, well worth the price.

I am a woman with wide feet and mens' keens fit me well. They offer support for my high arches also. I have a high instep which can be difficult to fit, these a a little hard to get in and out of with the high instep, but otherwise perfect.

in leather shoes I take a 10.5 this was ordered as an 11 and fit well. For what its worth I wear 11.5 in a Nike running shoe

Wouldn’t be summer if I wasn’t ordering a pair for my son. Every year we get a pair for camping and the water. Great quality and comfort. The only thing that changes year to year is his size.

I have owned a bunch of the Keen Newport H20. I love these sandals. They fit well and I can be out all day in them. They are indestructable. However I have found that the sandals that do not have a dark foot bed seem to be not as comfortable as the ones that the dark foot bed. Black and Stone grey never really were as comfortable as the Black, India ink and Rust or several others that have the dark foot bed. Has happened 2-3 times to me. I wore them, so can't return them, but am very careful about getting only the dark footbed.

I bought these primarily for protection when climbing around lava rock, if we ever get to go on our vacation, and have found they are very comfortable and far more flexible than expected. I also have Keen safety shoes at work and they, again, have more comfort than you typically get from such a shoe.

Perfect

I am very pleased with these sandals. I sent back two different sizes a short time had just the right size. The sandals are comfortable and functional for my water and hiking activities. Zappos service was great and can't be beat. Job well done.
