Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Sandal Wide

Awesome shoes - I love these shoes they fit great, they’re very comfortable. Lots of people comment on them.

Your feet will love Keens - I am a HUGE fan of Keen shoes - I have 4 pairs of the super comfortable slides. Although I'm a woman I did buy these men's sandals for myself. I first bought the Newport H2 in woman's sizes but they were a little snug for my wider feet so I took advantage of the opportunity to get the wider width men's sizing would afford me. I'd advise anyone to size up a half size on the H2 because your toe will probably hit the toe guard part, even if just a little and it will drive you crazy so avoid all that and just go a half size up. I forgot to do that so I had to send back another pair but the third pair came today and they are perfect; third time's the charm. Comfortable, cushioned, NO break-in period. I plan on being active in these all summer.

Keen on my Keen's - I received my Keen's 2 weeks ago, and could not be happier. They are comfortable (I have worn them every day), and washable (again, I wear them every day). I think this sandal will last me a couple of years. It's not the best looking thing, but who cares.

Workhorse sandal - I mainly had to write this review to counter other claims of the shoe fitting small. My three-year-old Keen sandals have been great for washing the car, doing yard work, chasing the kids around, hiking in the city parks...But, I'm a perfect size 11 and this sandal, size 11, wobbles under my foot unless I strap it on very very tightly. I have very wide feet and the toe box is more than accommodating -- much wider than a typical medium width shown. I've grown accustomed to the large fit, but I'm certain that a half size smaller would have fit me perfectly for that nice sock-less hug a sandal should provide. That's actually why I'm back at Zappos looking at Keens again.

Very happy with these - I got these with the aim of using them for rafting, giving me a sandal with toe protection when standing in the water (or falling out of the raft!) I must say that after my first trip out with them I am very happy. They are tight to get on but I guess this is a good thing considering! Once on they quickly become un-noticeable, they just perform! Overall excellent shoes and as ever, excellent service from Zappos!

Keen's Newport H2 - I bought these shoes for my husband and he really likes them. He can wear them with or without socks and then toss them in the washer when dirty. We ordered his regular size, he could get them on but they were very snug and short. We reordered and found that ordering a size larger gave him room for socks and he had plenty of room in the toe box for his big toes. As usual, Zappos.com remains the leader in shipping! We always use Zappos.com and we're sure our credit card company wonders if we own stock!

Awesome even for non-sandal guys - My husband just bought these and it was a huge step as all he wears are sneakers and hiking shoes. He loves them. They are so comfortable. He's also worn them with socks and they don't look at all dorky. The only drawback: the closure loosens after a while and they need to be readjusted during activities.

Awesome fit and feel - I have a hard time with sandals and don't like the way most of them feel, the rubber and bottom of my feet just don't like each other. These solved that issue, my feet don't stick to them when sweaty and these are hard to take off they are so comfortable.

Great sandal - I like the way they look, and they're comfy enough, I only have one gripe. They fit slightly, slightly small, and the part that covers my toe actually puts pressure on the toenail of my big toe, which after a while is uncomfortable. I think if I'd bought a half size larger, I'd be ok, but I'm too lazy to return them, and can live with it. Otherwise, great footwear!

Most comfortable sandal I have ever owned - I cannot say enough great things about the Zappos sandals I recently purchased. Great arch support, toe protection and great looking too. The only thing you need to be aware of is that they are sized small. Go 1/2 to 1 size larger than your normal ordering size.

My experience with the Keen Newport - These rock. I live in them. Recently vacationed at the Phoenician in Scottsdale and hiked the mountain behind the hotel, then returned and wore these out for dinner. The fit perfectly and are worth every penny.

The perfect summer sandal - This is the Land Rover of shoes. It can go anywhere, is in credibly comfortable, and even stylish (in a northeastern US utilitarian kind of way).

Keen Newport H2 - What a great sandal! Immediately comfortable, cool and great looking. I heartily recommend the H2 to anyone looking for a stylish, functional sandal!

What I was hoping for! I took some time purchasing these shoes. I read the reviews and made my decision. So far I feel that it was a great decision. My shoes look and feel really cool. I work in them every day. I am a sign & graphics artist. I work out in the heat and wanted a shoe/sandal that was top quality. This shoe is it. Zappos exceeded my expectations. They are in my camp when it comes to delivering a top quality product/service and WOW the customer.

Very pleased - The initial order for my shoe size was tight, but the exchange process for a half size larger was pleasant...and the Newports arrived on time for a vacation deadline. I wore them every day for two weeks and found them very comfortable. Love the price protection too.

The Best Footwear - They were a bit hard to get on, but well worth the effort. My feet are in work boots every day and I need really good arch support. Keen fits the bill. I wore these on vacation with my kids in Disney World. They were in rain, 90 degree weather, and submerged in water. No problem. The toe guard is super because I hate having my toes exposed. Never liked "sandals."

Love the Keen's - I have a Clark model in leather similar to the Keen's. The Keen's are a little difficult to put on unless I position each foot as far forward in the shoe before I slip the rear strap over the heel. The fit is almost too snug for my normal shoe size but I have not experienced any discomfort after many hours of wear. So the fit may be more exact than I am accustomed to. I really like the Keen's.

A great shoe - I ordered these based on other Zappos reviews for a trip to the Galapagos. I was a little apprehensive since I only had them for one day prior to leaving so I was taking a risk that they would not work out. Not to worry - they felt great immediately, both with and without socks. They handled sand, smooth lava, rough lava and everything else. They clean up great and still look brand new. I have a wide foot and usually any medium width shoe or sandal is uncomfortable after awhile, but these felt great all day long. They also have really good arch support. As for size, I usually wear a 10.5 medium or 11 wide. I tried these in 11 but the 11.5 felt much better, so I would agree with a lot of other postings that these seem to run a half size small. I really can't think of the last time I was this pleased with a pair of shoes. This was also my first experience with Zappos and I could not have been happier with the quick service.

Do it all foot gear. Put them on right out of the box, wore them from Michigan to Costa Rica, played in the rain forest, played in the salt water, played in the fresh water and put a quite a few road miles on them. Nine days later we returned home. I beat the heck out of these and they still look new, they still smell good and I figure I'm going to be using them for a good long time. They were light on the feet and they never caused me any discomfort. You and I have a winner!

Ugly but Unbeatable - I bought a pair for a week of vacationing in Costa Rica and they became essential gear for the jungle, rivers, the beach, just about anywhere. They're somewhat ugly; looking like a pair of sneakers with some ventilation holes cut in them. But they allow you to trudge confidently though the muck and the sand and the dirt. They're easy to slip on and off; the bungee-cord-type tightener works quite well. I highly recommend their use by anyone planning hikes in watery areas, or rafting.

A little bit of foot heaven - I told my friend: "These are the only shoes I've ever worn that rise up and greet my feet" They are soo comfortable that they may persuade me to swear off going barefoot. They look great & feel great and now I think I will be exclusively shopping Keen (well a least for another couple of weeks)

Fast and reliable service...as usual - I've been very pleased with the Newport H2. I also own a pair of Targhees and purchased the Newport for summer wear...boating, kayaking, and casual. Zappos' service was fast and reliable...as usual.

Better than tevas - Good fit, no blisters and a good walking/hiking shoe

Cool Shoes, Am I? Ok, so there is no doubting this shoe is pretty cool looking. I got it in the reddish brown color and it’s something to see. They are comfortable and airy without feeling insubstantial like a Teevas.

Pleasent Surprise - Received my Newport H2's yesterday and wore them the rest of the day, very comfortable indeed. I have high arches and these Newports did a great job of allowing room without pinching my foot which many shoes do. GREAT PRODUCT, try'em, you will love'em!!
