Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Sandals

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.

Haven’t yet put them to the test but I had a pair of Newports years ago and they did well traipsing in the rain forests of Mexico near Puerto Vallarta. These actually fit better from what I can remember. Looking forward to trying them out. Not the best looking shoes I guess, (matter of opinion!) but great Keen function and design.

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.

Just what I was looking for!!!!!

I have been wearing this same keen shoe for years. I just moved to the tropics so now I virtually live in them. Super comfortable, light, and cool while protecting your foot, and excellent arch support.

Since I am a hard to fit size 11 wide, I decided to try KEEN men's sandals and it worked really well! My feet hate to be wrapped up in walking shoes, they get so hot. But I absolutely have to have support around the ankle. This men's style is stronger around the ankle and I was told the men's sandal has a slightly higher arch. Feels like it to me. SOLD!

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 love this shoe! Good traction for my feet walking swiftly even when wet. Cushioning and support for my arthritic feet. I look forward to full summer worth of wearing them.

Satisfied KEEN customer. I wear an 11 wide and it is hard to find. I was a huge KEEN fan for years but, as any other K fan is aware, they're not being made the way they used to. Last time I fell in love with a style I went ahead and ordered the women's size and it was super tight but because of the stretchy straps I was able to clip them and kind of customize them to my feet. That works for a while, but not long term. This time I thought I would try the men's sandal because I understood that it had a slightly higher arch than the women's. I think that's true, but I wouldn't really say it's a 5 star when it comes to the arch support, but if I'm not going to wear them all day, I think I'll be fine. Having had plantar fasciitis full on in 2017, and now the symptoms are trying to creep back, I have to be careful, but my feet long to be out of walking shoes and socks! I think the straps are all of a bit wider and the angle strap is definitely more secure in the men's shoe. So ladies, if you wear an 11 or larger and like KEEN sandals and haven't tried men's shoes yet, I'd say go for it. Every style is different. I have tried this in the past and returned them, but this time I'm satisfied enough to keep them. A basic black that will work with my long dresses in the summer time was my goal. All my other shoes are so functional I can't look cute ... never stop looking as cute as possible! ;) I think these will do the trick this summer.

Bought for my husband who wears them daily at our camp, working in the water or rowing.

Shoes arrived a couple days after ordering. Wore them on Nauset Beach 3/27. Good support and not much sand collects in the shoe as you walk. Cleaned off easily after leaving the beach. Comfortable with plenty of support and plenty of room in the toe. I'd buy them again.

Way too roomy and the synthetic materials scrape your skin.

I previously had the original Newport sandals which I loved using for the last 4 years. When I got the Newport H2's I expected an improvement, what I got was a terrible design. While the laces can be adjusted just like other Keen sandals, the hole to place your foot into is not adjustable and is too small. Because of that, putting on the sandals during the first weeks were painful! I felt like I needed a shoehorn to get my foot into it even though I am a size 12 regular width foot. Well the pain after the first few weeks subsided when the stitching on the sandals gave way-- that's right, the only way to improve the comfort of the sandal is to literally tear it apart. I'm incredibly dissapointed and do not believe I'll buy Keen ever again. I paid for the name and quality and got an "improved" version that doesn't work as a sandal.

My foot tends to run a little wide, so I was a little concerned that a regular width shoe might be too tight. The shoe was very snug to get on, but once on my foot it felt great. I wore them for a whole afternoon, and they were very comfortable. I'm breaking them in for an upcoming rafting trip, and hopefully I can leave a further update then.

Good

Nice sandels, difficult to put on (rear strap is tight).

Excellent sandles!

The best show you can buy hikes that are going to take you through streams that you have to wade across. Also great for caving that includes wading or swimming.

2 ND pair of keen shoes and love the fit, the look and they last

These sandals are the best and I've worn them for years. And Zappos is one of the best companies in the world to deal with.
