Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Sandals

I actually feel guilty writing a negative review since nearly all in the known universe have had only stellar experiences with the H2. I even still love an ancient pair of Keens that have endured 6 years of beaches and mountain trails, but nevertheless, my H2s arrived and remained stiiiiinky; just the insole, none of the other materials. I scrubbed them with every safe to use cleaning agent imaginable, but the odor never diminished. I only wore them if I was sure no one else was around...and then, after less than a year, one of the back straps pulls out entirely from the sole. Are they really only glued in place? What a burn..

Got this for my dad. He loves them

I bought these for my husband, who KILLS shoes. He has done well with Keens in the past, and these are super comfy (he says). I stick with Zappos because of their AMAZING customer service!

No surprises here. Typical Keen fit, comfort, and quality. Would not buy anything else. Great job Zappos.

I purchased these Keens for my son. He tried on my Men's 11 from last year and they were too big, but these came and they are a bit smaller than my style. So I think they run small. He was very happy with them!

Great sandals for active wear or just running around town. Very comfortable.

Really like this sandal! Fits true to size and my toes feel well protected. Would maybe like a little more stretch to the heel making them easier to get on. Will probably do so as they are broken in.

These H2s are just right. breathable, stay on my foot, and provide good support. Just what I wanted and needed for the summer fun. They may even make appearances at school when resume in September!

I own a pet boarding facility. I needed a pair of shoes that would give me support and be comfortable all day. They also needed to be skid proof and withstand water. I found the perfect shoes with the Keen Newport!! Love this shoe. My feet can still breath and my toes are protected with the rubber toe guard, which is important when handling large dogs!!

This is my second pair of the same sandals and they're perfect for active summer wear. They looks slightly clunky/dorky, but at 6-3"/200# so do I. The fit is great and true to my usual size 13. The sandals are shaped like feet so don't pinch or rub anywhere.

Sole of left shoe is not flat causing slight supination.

I wear 11.5 (Europe 45). Keen sandals are a little tight. I buy them one half size larger. Their shoes and boots I buy on size. No problem getting these wet: dry in sun in about 45 minutes. Box toe is excellent protection, good arch support. Comfortable for long term wear (like all day with lots of miles!) Last pair lasted three years with near constant use.

I picked up this pair because I needed sandals that would make for better driving than flip flops. They're excellent for driving. They feel a lot like ordinary shoes, actually. So far, they're exactly what I need.

MY SON HAS FLAT FEET AND A HIGH ARCH. I ALWAYS BUY HIM KEEN BECAUSE THEY GIVE HIM GOOD SUPPORT AND FIT VERY WELL FOR HIS WIDE FEET.NEWPORT H2 MY SONS SAYS HE LOVES THEM !

These are the best made closed toe sandals. With that said the price point is too high. pinches at the pinkie toe, slightly tight at the top of the foot even when lossening. Color choice are good

These are the BEST summer shoes. They are the only brand I buy for my 10 year old. This is the 3rd pair he's had. Comfort, long lasting and great quality.

i usually wear a size 13 but a few reviews say they run a half size small so i bought a 14 and they seem to fit maybe just a hair big when sit but when i stand my big toe reaches the tip about a quarter of an inch my smaller toes have a ton of room the tip of the shoe is really round and does not arche down with the way the toes arch down as they get smaller to the pinkie toe and think that's why it feels large on that side of the foot but i do love them and i would buy them again. also i am 6 foot 6 inches 330 pounds if this helps anyone.

This was the first pair of Newport H2 that we had to purchase for my son in a men's size. I donor like this design at all!! The kids have the benefit of having and adjustable Velcro strap on them, these do not. It makes them very difficult to get on and off. We ordered his normal size and he couldn't even get his foot in so we ordered the next full size up. Finally with some struggling he got his foot in. Once in they are comfortable. But why in the world would they not include an adjustable strap for men they are not all created equal!!! Boo on you Keen!! Hopefully they rethink this design. As for us I got the shoe wet, put a can of soup on the ankle area lengthwise, and let them dry. They are now stretched out to the point that my son can make use of them because other than that, these are the very best supportive sandal around. He wears them to camp all summer long and never has gotten his toes hurt etc.

Comfortable and cool. Bought to take on a vacation. Good purchase as My husband was able to wear at the beach, hiking and for everyday use.

Great for everyday!

I love Keens and this pair was no exception. I got a pair in black because I broke my tailbone and regular shoes are hard to walk in right now. These really grip and give a solid base when walking and and cool and comfortable. I even wear them with summer skirts and sundresses.

Keens Newports are excellent sandals/casual shoes (possibly THE best!?!). I have been wearing them devotedly for several years now, I am seriously considering buying several pairs of these just so I can stock up on them, in case they suddenly go out of style or get discontinued or if the design gets changed (which I hope it doesn't!). They are THAT good. That's how loyal I am to them! I wear them on an almost daily basis for something like 9 months out of the year (hot climate where we live) and they are EXCELLENT. Great fit, comfortable. I also walk long distances in them fairly frequently, and never have had any major problems. Stepping in puddles from frequent rains? No problem! They are also "nice" enough that I can even get away with wearing them at work in most situations. If you wear them with nicer clothes, they are just closed-in enough that you can totally get away with it! It was a casual style event, but both my wife and I even wore them to our own wedding, LOL!

This pair ran very small. I have 2 pars of the same shoe purchased 2 and 3 yeas ago which fit fine. Some change in production has happened.
