Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

The H2 was recommended by a friend. It is an excellent casual shoe. Zappos shipped it very quickly. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Make sure you order next size up. They run small. The design has changed since my last pair which makes them harder to slip on. The footbed is harder so they are not quite as comfortable as the last pair was. They appear to be durable. If I hadn't had the previous pair which lasted for 5 years I probably would not be as critical. It is the old "if it ain't broke don't fix it." They tried to improve a great product and messed it up.

Great shoes! I initially thought that they were going to be too small for me, but I gave them a chance and they are extremely comfortable! The shipping is great - I received them the day after I ordered them even though I had selected two day shipping. Very happy with my purchase.

I love the product, and am buying my second pair. The color "India Ink/Rust" is NOTHING like what is shown on the website, however. Be sure of color. India Ink/Rust arrived grey/blue and almost dusty in color. I returned it for another color.

I tried on a pair, same style, in a discontinued color, in DSW and, even though they were a FULL size larger than I normally wear, I went home and ordered a pair in Black from Zappos, expecting them to fit just like the ones in the store. But they were STILL too tight. The footbed felt right but the uppers felt like I had an Ace bandage around my foot. I think if I went up another half-size, it might be looser but the rest of the shoe wouldn't feel right. I give up!

The H2 has been my go-to warm weather sandal for the past 8 years, worn 200-250+ days per year. They are comfortable as everyday wear, and for light-moderate day hiking. They dry quickly if made wet, and don't hold any foot odor (at least mine haven't). They hold up decently well, but after a couple of years the stitches that hold the back strap do start to rip. Even with ripped sandals I've worn several pairs nearly through the soles. (That's a good thing). They are a bit clunky looking but their comfort allows me to completely overlook that. Highly recommended.

Brought with on my trip to Israel, expecting them to be similar to my leather Newports. These were way too narrow and left blisters everywhere. Overall, not what I have grown to expect from this incredible brand.

Hey, I guess I'm a real cheapy, I have never paid this much for a pair of shoes in my life! I can't say enough about these shoes. We vacation in Fl. each winter and since I got these shoes I haven't worn anything but them. At night I even wear socks in them. I can't wait for summer to come here in Michigan so I can start to wear them again. They are extremely comfortable, easy to put on and durable.

Great for hiking. Great for water. Great for hiking in water. No brainer. Buy them.

I began to wear the H2's to "break them in" but I wear them nearly everyday! I'm taking them to Nicaragua and if they wear out, I buy another pair.

Bought these sandals for a fishing trip on the Gulf of Mexico. They are so comfortable I wear them most of the time. Find them comfortable and breathable in the Florida heat.

What can I say I LOVE THESE SHOES! I had initially ordered my regular shoe size 8.5 and when I got them I tired them on, they were too snug with socks so I decided to exchange them for the next size up 9, they fit great right out of the box, so please heed the reviews and order one half size up you'll be glad you did...

I got these for my boyfriend to wear on a trip to the Galapagos, and they worked great. Very comfortable for wet landings on the beach, and easy to rinse the sand out of (very important on that trip) after a hike. Most importantly, didn't chafe while they were wet.

I was looking to replace my old sandals and gave these a try. I hit the mother lode. Great feel and look good in size 16. You thought you had problems finding good shoes at great price.

I am very pleased with these sandals. I sent back two different sizes a short time had just the right size. The sandals are comfortable and functional for my water and hiking activities. Zappos service was great and can't be beat. Job well done.

The H2s are instantly comfortable. No breaking in time needed. These are now my go-to traveling shoes. Looking forward to taking them out to Hawaii for hiking and beach fun. This is my first pair of Keens, but it won't be my last.

I ordered and received a pair of Keen sandals promptly. Then a month later there was a problem with them. I made one telephone call and got them returned and replaced within two days. I am happy with their return policy and their customer service. Some things are fading away fast but not at Zappos. Thank you Zappos.

Yes, these are great. The cinch cord allows for quick tightening and the back heel section is padded for comfort. No blisters with these!

Great but hard to find product due to demand. Zappos had the style and selection I wanted when no one else did. My Keens arrived promptly and shipping was free. Only way it could be better is if a Zappos showroom van pulled up to my door.

I am an insulin dependent diabetic, so I pay a lot of attention to my feet. These sandals are a compromise between foot protection and ventilation. I especially like the adjustment method, where most of the time I keep it loose for frequent on/off cycles, but can easily snug the fit for longer walks. I have yet to test these in Houston's hot humid summer. They fit perfectly, are comfortable, and require little break-in. If you plan to stomp around in pea gravel, don't wear sandals.

My wife has had Keen's for years and she talked me into trying a pair. And I'm glad I did, this is my 3rd pair. Last year I waited to long to order a pair and when I needed a pair all the good colors where gone for the season so I had to settle for black pair at a local store. So if you like a pair don't wait, and you will enjoy them and don't worry about the the big round toe look. Great arch support and they can washed by hand or my wife throws hers in the wash machine. And Zappos has great shipping and returns if needed. Enjoy!

Best shoe I've ever owned! Wore the first pair to death! Were a tiny bit smaller than marked but not a whole half size.
