Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Sandal

I have a pair and love them and kept telling my husband he needed some. He got them for Christmas and rarely is wearing anything else...in winter. He says "Very comfortable, felt great right out of the box. Forget to wear other shoes because these are so great!"

Had these shoes for 2 weeks on my trip to Thailand. I wore them almost day and loved the functionality. Great for walking on a beach or on jungle trail. Unfortunately both back straps broke and I am returning these shoes. I would definitely consider buying them again, but they need to be more durable.

Bought a pair of the Newport H2 from Zappos, love at first wearing. A brilliant design, comfortable and cool. I say cool because I find that all shoes made with synthetic materials tend to be hot. Only slight complaint was the open heel that caused discomfort while driving. The grit on the car floor mats digs into the exposed heel. Regardless, I was extremely pleased with the sandal, so I decided to order more, just in case the model was discontinued. I now have three pairs. As time went on I began to experience discomfort. I kept thinking that I had a stone or some sort of debris under my toes. In fact, the foot-bed was deforming. The patterns that are molded into the foot-bed caused ridges to form along the pattern lines which rubbed the sides of my big toe. This in turn caused a large painful callus to form rendering the sandal useless. I was sent another pair by Zappos (love you guys), to replace the defective pair. But now I know that this was not a defective unit, as all of my sandals have developed the same problem. I have four pairs of unwearable shoes. I have written to Keen about my plight and have not heard from them yet.

These are great shoes. I wear these almost exclusively. They are comfortable enough for walking, golf, etc. They can be hot in warm temperatures. Also I had to return the last pair because they were too small even though I had been wearing these exact shoes in the same size. Due to Zappos' excellent customer service returning was no problem.

I have had these for 15 months now. They still look great and have nearly all the tread left, which is highly rare for me. I use them at the gym as well as daily wear at home and out and about. The soles are thick with plenty of support and have retained their original shape very nicely. I have a wide foot but these sandals have plenty of room for me. Occasionally I wear them into the shower and scrub them down with soap and they look new again. Very tough construction. Well worth the price.

Hubby was jealous of my Keen H2 sandals, so I bought him these - he loves them! Great styling, fit well.

Almost a perfect fit. Maybe once I break it in a bit more my heel won't be sticking out of the back. Though I will say it was comfortable to wear right out of the box. It's non-slip for the most part. However, during our trek I did lose my footing a few times on wet moss.

Consistently great shoes, comfortable, and fit just right, have bought many pairs over the years.

Very solid, able to stand up to any terrain. Slightly less rigid sole than the Commuter (but quite a bit stiffer and thicker than the CNX), so better for hiking, but less suitable for bicycling.

Have had 2 pair of these and the straps at the ankles have come apart. On one pair it was even worse - the entire sole on both shoes separated from the uppers! Two years out of pair of these Keen's is about all you should count on. That's a huge amount of money a year, BTW.

Unlike my son's previous pair of these sandals which survived more than a year on his feet, this new pair is coming unstitched in the usual spots after only ONE MONTH. We plan to inquire about returns even though they are used.

I got these because I had heard they were quite comfortable for walking. Unfortunately they have a bump on the sole that presses on the flat of my foot just behind my pinky toes. The longer I walk with them the more noticeable it becomes and after awhile it's downright painful. I've tried my best to break them in, but it's not going away. I'm going to have to call it quits on these.

Shoe was too small and is being returned. Just want to take this opportunity to say that Zappos has the BEST customer service!

I ordered my size and 1/2 size larger because I need a wide shoe, not a medium width. The larger size fit the width of my foot and still fit the length. Good color, keeps my feet cool in the hot weather. I haven't had a chance to use them in the water yet so I can't comment on that.

I purchased this model to replace pretty much the same shoes, same size, and thought they would fit. They don't. They are tot small. Love the brand, but something changed. Not happy with the purchase. Not your fault I guess, but some warning about size would have diverted me to another brand or size.

Love the fit and I ordered the same size I normally wear. Great comfort and utility.

This is my first pair of Keens and I am very happy with them! Super comfortable, I would buy again!

Husband loves these shoes. Comfortable enough that he wore them all day moving, then two weeks later through streams while fishing. They're his new faves!

Bought these for my husband because I love my Keens and they have lasted over 5 years. Unfortunately, his separated at the sole (at a rather critical moment kayaking on the river!) and are now useless. Very disappointing experience, I will be hesitant to replace my own now with another pair of Keens as i will be worried about the quality.
