Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

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!!!!

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.

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

I purchased the Keen NewPort H2 before a long vacation in May 2023. This is my third pair over the course of 10 to 15 years. I really like the look and style of the Magnet / Tie Dye. The sandals are very comfortable and supportive. In two months, I have put many miles on them during the vacation (including long walks and hiking). The reason i gave them only three stars is the threading broke after less than two months on the outer heel portion. Due to travel, i needed to do a quick repair (not pretty, but holds the sandal together). This threaded also failed on my last pair after 7 years - they were well used and felt like I got good life out of them.

Don't have to worry about breaking in the shoe.

Ive worn these everyday since Ive received them (2 weeks) and they are very comfortable with multiple upside positives in one shoe. Havent been this siked about a shoe in a long time .

My husband loves these water shoes, 3rd pair. They fit perfectly and hold up very well.

I have had these Keens for a while. After wearing them to the river last week, when they had dried the next day, straps on both shoes had pulled loose! I'm very disappointed since I own several other styles of Keens and had been thoroughly satisfied with them.

hubby thinks they are very comfy lighter weight than the other ones he had

This is my 2nd pair - absolutely love 'm - you can walk, climb, bike.... Only pair of shoes you need all summer :-)

I was a life long Teva user but they lost me after my girlfriend's pair broke after just two years of intermittent use. So after a lot of research I went with Keen. These are super comfortable and sturdy. I use mines for everything: cycling, taking flights, swimming, hiking, just walking around in the city etc. I liked them so much that I just got a new pair for my girlfriend. They feel solid, like they will last years. I was somewhat worried about the size, but they run true to size. Im 10.5 and the 10.5 fit perfectly, specially after the first week of usage.

My first pair lasted 10 years. Buying a second pair was a no brainer.

I fell in love with them the first pair I cant remember which the first ones were but they kept flipping little pebbles up under my heel when I walked so then the next 2 pairs were the Arroyos which didnt do that and have a more aggressive tread, Im 60 now and thought Id try the Newport H2 but they seem to be a little narrow up front, started wearing a blister on my big toe knuckle so Im wondering if they come in a wider size Arroyos didnt do this the length feel fine I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 10 (Keen shoes run a bit small so order a 1/2 size larger if its our first pair) I like the style I ordered but sorry to say, I need to return them. They are still within the 30 day window, So please return contact.

I push these things to the limit and they perform. One week solid in the woods with no other footwear. I never thought about my feet except when I noticed how dirty my heals were. Canoeing, hiking, scrambling, and relaxing; they were perfect.
