Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Very comfortable and fits well.

Amazing! Great support, perfect for hybrid use - walking hiking outdoor activities

These are so comfortable. I bought them for myself and my husband and they are very comfortable for walking all day. One thing I wish was that they dried faster but its fine.

I bought a pair of the Newport H2's almost 20 years ago when I went to China and they just wore out!! I roamed around China. Climbed the Great Wall. Wore them to the beach, the lake and all around the outdoors. These are incredibly comfortable, versatile and functional! The durability is crazy off the chart!! These are just fantastic. I came on the site to order another pair and I am super excited about it.

A bit tight. But useable.

I have a long narrow foot. The toebox on these sandals is really wide, especially with the protective toe rubber. But the sandals have about the right arch support and a cushioned sole that makes my aching feet no ache. The only complaint is that the rubber footbed does get hot. I liked them enough to recommend them to my wife and she bought a pair.

I have other pairs of 11.5 US Keen shoes. These are too small!

I bought the previous version of this Newport H2 several years ago when I was backpacking frequently. My search was for a good water worthy shoe that was also supportive while carrying a 40 pound pack. This slip-on shoe met perfectly my requirement of being able to hike between multiple water crossings without having to put back on socks/boots. I also discovered that it was a great casual shoe for summertime activities. The Newport H2 has even improved fit and comfort. Highly recommend.

Comfy for all-day wear

This model is OK. I had a pair of Keens previously that were lighter and I liked better. This model has a very thick sole which is comfortable but heavy.

After several months, great fit. Run small. Width fine. Triple black...awesome day or night, work or play.

Yes! I'm on my fourth pair of the Newport H2 Sandal!!! Very supportive and grippy sole, I always order a size 8.5 and they fit perfect every time! You can wear them in the snow too, just wear a wool sock! I also have the Braddock steel toe boot size 8.5 and the soft toe Mt Vernon in a size 8.5 too. They are all great fits!!!!!

Ive worn Newport H2 and Venice sandals for decades. I was lucky to snag a pair of the latest Venice sandals as they arent available (again). But I also wanted to get a new pair of Newports to replace my old pairs that can still be worn but are pretty ragged. Unfortunately this was the first pair of Keens that I had to make a decision as to whether to return them or not. I am returning them. They have changed the design and these are narrower than all my previous pairs. If youre still committed you can go up a half size or more as the product description suggests. That actually is the first clue that the design is different, never before have they had to display that suggestion. My problem however is that I have worn Newports into the fall and winter with warm socks. There was plenty of room in the previous versions to accommodate this without feeling cramped. I dont believe a half size up would have helped with this re-design. I am disappointed as for many years Keens were the only footwear I wore with the Newport being my primary shoe of choice.

I got my first pair over 15 years ago. An outdoor program I was part of required closed toe shoes so I got some Keen sandals. I used them hiking, repelling, rafting and even wore them to work on casual days. I worked them hard and wore them out. Last month I got a new pair and I just finished 5 days on Mount Rainier. I felt sure footed and stable on every trail I hiked. I love these!

I have been a Keen fan for years and have many pairs of shoes, this one is the first that was just bad. The fabric frayed from day one, the elastic pulled away from the fabric after a couple of weeks, then Sunday, the sole pulled apart from the straps and became unwearable. This was all over the the course of 2 months of normal indoor wear. I love the look and comfort of this shoe, but it doesn't hold up.

I am happy with these sandals they hold up and protect my toes awesome sandals and sturdy thanks

The strongest, most comfortable water sandal made

I bought these a few years ago. A wonderful sandal for hiking but then the back strap stitching fell out of it -- both feet on both sides! Fortunately LL Bean honored the warranty due to product quality and I bought a different style.

My first pair of these lasted from 14 till I walked through the sole in about 6 years. I have the ladies Newports and the only reason why I have to retire them is the webbing is starting to fray. Typically these guys last me 6+ years. Yes 100$ is pricy, especially now. But Id glady pay 100+$ for a new pair of Keens that I can wear spring summer and fall then to spend 100+$ on a pair of New Balance I cant get 400 miles out of.

This was my 3rd pair of this same model. They fit well, give good support to my feet and and are long lasting

I'm on my second pair after many years of torcher the glue finally gave out. I would recommend these and day!!!!

I love these sandals but they run a half to a full size too small... at least compared to the Keen Austin's. I wish there was a little more consistency in sizing for this brand

Major issue with EVA foot bed, glue does not hold straps even 1/4 as well as microfiber foot bed. Over the course of 20 years I have owned 3 leather newports, I have never had an issue with the straps. With my first pair of h2s I had 4 straps fail with in a year.
