Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Bought these for my husband and he loves them -- a great summer shoe that is great when you need a limitless more support than a sandal. He bought them to fly his little airplane this summer -- feet get hot in Georgia. He hasn't taken them off!

I love the product, but as usual, I'm more impressed with Zappos. As always, the best service of any company I have ever dealt with!

Wide! I could not find a decent wide-sized sandal for my foot. Even though these Keen's do not offer a wide, they are indeed wide enough for my usual 4E foot. The only problem I have with them is getting them off and on - it is definitely not a slip on sandal, but once you get them on, they are just perfect. Just be prepared to have to sit down to put them on. Extremely comfortable - great molded shape on the foot. Light, quick drying. More comfortable than a pair of slippers. Perfect for my summer - beach, kayaking, hiking, etc. Worth every penny. Buy them!

I bought these shoes for my son. He says, "Other than the small rocks that get into the shoes (which is expected with a sandal-like shoe), these shoes were a great fit and very comfortable. A good shoe for wide feet."

Perfect fit. Absolute comfort - even hiking through the trails of the Great Smokey Mountains! His wife even liked the way they paired with jeans!

Haven't had these long. For being as open as these are, my feet sweat way more than expected. The foam layer the foot sits on is an interesting choice; I am curious to see how it wears. Very comfortable on long walks on concrete.

Great shoe, my second pair. I wore the old pair everywhere, these feel just as good. I didn't realize how worn the old ones were until I got the new ones. They held up well, no fraying and no separation of the rubber parts at all. You can't go wrong with Keen or Zappos.

These are my first river sandals and I am impressed. I have been on a few shorter hikes in them and they have performed very well. The vents are the right size to allow air flow without allowing rocks to sneak in. I have had them in the river and the ocean and they dry out quickly. I washed them in the washer the other day and they look good as new. So far I have around 60 miles on them and other than their less-than-good-looks and them being a bit pricey, I am pleased.

This was my first pair of Keens and now I'm hooked! These shoes are awesome. Good support and cushioning. The only bad thing is the funky tiger-stripe tan lines. Great shoes at a good price.

Here's the deal. I wear a size 9.5 in almost every shoe but I these didn't fit at all with a 9.5 -- I mean there was no way I was getting my foot into one of them, period. I ordered a size 10 and only after a determined fight was I able to get my foot past the heel strap. Once my Shrek foot was in there, they fit and felt great, but I was worried that I would eventually end up tearing the sandals apart just putting them on. I tried a size 10.5 and they were a breeze to put on, but then they were too loose for my foot. #SandalFail I ended up returning them and went for a Teva sandal that had an adjustable heel strap. I'm not sure who Keen made these for but apparently not for ogres like me.

These have been my main shoes for over four years. They have been through many harsh environments (desert, mountain, ocean, rock, etc.) with much abuse...took every bit of it...and I am a big dude too. Getting my second pair.

This is my first pair of Keen sandals & I have to say I prefer them over my old Tevas. I do have a wide foot & they are a generous D width but I do experience some discomfort after 4 hours or so of walking but my Tevas were worse. I got the burnt henna & was glad they weren't as red as the photo online. The only downside is they do make the soles of my feet sweat more then I like; they are easier to take off than putting on. Followed the fit suggestion on Keens web site which worked out great. Overall great looking sandals with acceptable fit.

These shoes actually fit like a glove, but I think you want a snug fit. My feet are pretty darn close to exact size and a a little wide but these were a great fit and for the activity level this shoe is designed for that's what you want. Easy on/off, comfortable but not quite as airy as I would have liked but, man, are they versatile.

I am on my third pair so obviously am convinced. Spend a lot of time at a lake house in and out of the water a love them - comfortable, great protection for feet, wear well. They are my primary summer footwear. The one thing Keen could improve is the durability of where the strap that goes around ankle joins the rest of the sandal. This is where my Keens have come apart. Still much better than other summer time footwear

This is my first pair of Keen sandals. I liked the look (on-line photos) and read a few reviews. I ordered the Newport H2, and one half size larger, as some recommended in their reviews. The half-size larger was right on, in size and fit, out of the box. These fit beautifully and feel great walking immediately. I'm breaking them in, so to speak, for a week on the coast very soon. These sandals are just what I have been looking for in a serious walking sandal: good sole, support and wide enough for my feet. In short -- I'm convinced, and am now a new convert to Keen shoes/sandals! Nice product line you guys!! R. Hood

I would not recommend if you have wide feet. The shoes look great, and I can feel that the support is fantastic, so if they fit, I'd strongly suggest them. Unfortunately, they didn't come close to fitting, even after trying three different sizes. If they had an option for "felt more than a full size smaller" I'd choose it. I have wide feet, so I know buying a full size larger is often required to get shoes (that don't come in wide) a full size larger. The 10.5 I bought (my size) were so short, my big toe touched the end of the toe box. At 11.5, the shoe finally felt "almost right" in the length department but I could tell it was still too short. In the width department, normally going up a full size makes shoes wide enough to wear. At a full size larger they were still so tight my little toe scraped against the shoe inside. So they may be great for "normal" width feet, but if you're a wide, I would try to find another style (which is virtually impossible in a water shoe).

Love them! I out them on and hit the ground running. Well, walking, actually. Very comfortable, very supportive. I have big, flat feet which makes it hard to find comfy shoes. I was used to wearing the New Balance 811 for walking but wanted something cooler to wear in warm weather and these fit the bill. Went on vacation to Key West with them and was able to walk all day and not tire out. I thought they would look too masculine but they actually look cute and have gotten many compliments. But my main objective was comfort and in that, the H2 does not disappoint.
