Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Had five pairs over the year and always excellent.

Both my husband and I bought a pair of these to wear on a rafting trip and for hiking in Boise, ID. They were wonderful. They run small so we had to send them back for a half size larger. Then they were perfect. They take awhile to dry, but super great support and super comfortable. We are very happy with the purchase.

My husband has had bunion surgery and Keen is the only brand that fits him well. Lately the Keens seem to be getting wider but these are pretty true to size, although it is a bit loose in the heel. Otherwise, 5 stars.

I wear a 10.5 but bought 12s. They fit fine. Arch support is good for my flat feet.

This is the 3rd pair of Keen H2s I had over the last 10 years.The good: H2s are well constructed, offer very good arch support, are waterproof and easy to clean. The bad: The quality of construction, while still good, is not nearly what it used to be. The first pair lasted 6 years with nearly daily summer use, and I'm a big guy pushing 275 lbs. The only thing that wore out was the sole. The second pair lasted about 4 years, again with nearly daily summer use. Within the first season of use, the stitching on the straps started to come undone. This was repairable, but annoying. Then the soles got cracks in them where the straps attach. A great place to hide lots of sand from the beach. This pair is still kicking around for yard work. I just got a new pair of H2s and either my feet are still growing, or these things are getting smaller. I had to return for a half size up and could've gone a full size. Over the course of 3 shoes, over 10 years, I've gone up 2 whole sizes. Please do yourself a favor and order a full size larger. I've also noticed that the strapping material is less flexible than the last two pairs I've owned. I'm hoping it loosens up over time. Overall, a very comfortable, outdoor, do anything, get em wet , dries fast sandal. We'll see how long these new ones last.

I bought the female version for myself 3 years ago, tried a couple of times to convince my husband to get a pair, he's stubborn and wouldn't do it so I got him a pair for Father's Day. Guess what, he loves them, calls them badass! He's been wearing them out in the yard building a water slide where there's sand and water, mud. He plans to walk the creek fishing in them and maybe hiking. I've hiked the smokies and in OR and CA in mine. Dries fast, good grip on soles, has held up well. They aren't attractive but ya can't have everything. Debris does get in but it does in a tennis shoe too, at least with these you don't have to take off the shoe to get it out.

Ordered the same size I had for the last pair of Keen sandals, but they were too small. Overall, they give a lot of support and feel great. Just need to return and get a 1/2 size bigger.

Great fit, good support!

good looking shoe

I could have dropped down 1/2 size other wise, great support and comfortable. Did I mention it also looks great.

My husband wore a similar sport shoe for years, made by Ecco. He LOVED those shoes. They don't make them any longer, so I ordered this one for him because it was similar. Also, his feet are wide, and I know that Keen's run a little wide. I also chose them based on other's reviews of comfort and decent arch support. My husband has been wearing them and says that they are very comfortable, and they accomodate his wide foot without actually being a "W" size. The shoe also looks very nice, and not at all clunky.

I absolutely love the Keen Newport H2’s. I have various colors of this style. I literally wear these everywhere I go. Wish I could wear them to work. Buying from Zappo’s makes them even sweeter since I can get them within a couple days!

Purchased these for my husband. He didn't think he would like them but he does. We recently took a vacation where we were taking short hikes everyday. They preformed great. Like them enough I will be buying him a second pair to put back.

I've had these for 5 years - I wear them every day - the first thing I do when I get home is change into these, and on the weekends they are the only thing I wear 90% of the time. Durable, comfortable, they protect the foot in our desert environment. My feet are tanned with the Keen pattern! This will be my third pair - each has lasted at least 4 years. I like to rotate 2 different pairs.

good looking shoes... very comfortable to walk in... hiking 30 miles a day not a problem... but there is one thing about this shoes that bugs me... if you not going to wear socks with this shoes your feet going to stink like hell... and shoes will smell so bad, that you will not be able to leave them in the same room... so, if you hike with someone who can tolerate your smelly feet, it's not going to be a problem... other than that shoes are great..

I followed Keen's guidelines for Women with Wide feet, and purchased these Men's shoes, and they worked out!

Excellent fit, very comfortable right out of the box. Sandals have never been my choice in footwear but I may not ever take these off. Love these shoes.

I wear 8.5 in most shoes. This 8.5 was tight in width, the 9 was better in width but a bit long. These are the most uncomfortable contraptions I have ever tried. My feet started sweating instantly and the footbed felt like concrete but with painful ridges that add to the misery. Both sizes returned and Zappos is still the best.

I buy 1 pair of these a year. I am in SoCal. I live in them. Have bought many of these. I change colors every other year, so I know which are the new ones. The year old pair goes in the back of the truck for a spare just in case. I think the Black is the best fit. I have had some of the colors and they didn't feel the same. Maybe its in my head. (quite possible) Love them

Keen Newport’s are now junk. I’ve owned many before but now quality control is nonexistent. The shoes below were worn 20 times on boat and sand. The foot bed and straps came unglued. DO NOT BUY, DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY.

Great shoe and would have kept them but the ankle sock was too tight and made it difficult to get on. The shoes were fine in length and width other than the ankle area.

Product did not fit..

My husband purchased this same exact style about 15 years ago — if not more — and they were finally giving up the ghost. I surprised him with a new “identical” pair in the same size but, to our surprise, they were smaller than his previous size 11s. It was not due to the old pair stretching out because when placed side to side and sole to sole the new pair was actually about a half inch smaller than the old pair. He had enjoyed these shoes previously and I’m hopeful that he’ll have the same satisfaction once the size is adjusted. I will reorder the 11.5 for him — but Keen shoppers take note.

Excellent sandal for active folks. My feet are wide and although it was a squeeze on Day 1, the shoe formed to my feet quickly. Very comfy and sturdy.
