Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

The Keen Newport H2 is by far the best sport sandal I've ever tried. They are very comfortable, easy to clean and durable. The arch support is also great for city walking.

These are a huge hit with my husband -- he absolutely loves them and "never wants to take them off"! They run small so order a 1/2 size larger.

Excellent sandal with an outstanding footbed. Quality and style right out of the box, and quick hassle-free delivery as always. Thanks Keen & Zappos.

A nice mostly closed-up sandal with good support and cushioning (not a slipper). I went out with an open toed sandal on a hot day in April and could barely walk for two days. I walked for almost four hours in these sandals and had no problems. I can't wait to try them in the rain or across a stream since they are designed for the water. A good purchase.

These Keens are the worst pair of shoes I have ever owned. I've had them for a couple of years and they've worn well, but that's because I never use them. If you like walking with stones in your shoes, these Keens are for you. Better yet, save yourself some money and walk barefoot over rocks. Or maybe you like taking your shoes off every couple of minutes, because that's what you'll be doing to remove rocks and other debris that gets through the large slits in the shoes. If you want a shoe for hiking in and out of water, try one with mesh, they are a lot less aggravation.

Just bought a pair of Newport H2 to replace a great pair of Nike sandals. They fit very comfortably which I expected after I bought a pair of Keen waterproof Bandon Boots last fall. I wore the boots to work all winter and they kept my feet warm, dry, and comfortable. The soles are holding up well and the leather looks brand new.

I bought these shoes specifically to go on a trip to the Galapagos Islands where I thought I would need water shoes for getting off rubber dinghies. Little did I know how perfect these shoes would be for much more than I expected. Not only were they the perfect water shoes, but I couldn't believe how they gripped rocks when climbing up steep and rocky hiking trails. They handled everything and were very comfortable. The toe guard gives you great protection. I saw no downside at all in the shoes. Yes, some sand can get in the shoe, but what do you expect, they are open sandals. Yes, they take some time to dry, but are no problem to put back on even when wet. After 10 days of extreme use, these shoes look like they just came out of the box. Buy these shoes if you want a very flexible product for all kinds of terrain and water. By the way, the fit was also perfect right out of the box in my normal size.

This is my second pair of Keens. I love them and cannot live without them. I wear them everywhere, including work. I ordered them at 7pm and by 10am the NEXT morning they were at my door. The FREE 1 day shipping works! I was amazed. Make sure to get your Keens a 1/2 size BIGGER than what you normally wear. They are made small. I wear a 10 and a 10.5 fits perfectly. I got the cool looking red ones and am ordering a powder blue pair today.

I purchase these for a cruise I am going on in April. I went to my local LLBean store to see if I could buy them there, They had the sandals, but not the color I wanted. I did however try them on. you do need to go up a half size. The associate was great and very attentive. He called the online store to ensure I got my sandals, he offered free shipping, but I use my LLBean card so it does not matter. I received the sandals in about 2 days. Wow! that was fast. I wore them around the house all night, felt like slippers. I will see how they are on the beaches, other wet surfaces, and in the water. Very please with the look and comfort! So far worth the $.

Recently moved to Hawaii and needed a sturdy sandal/ water shoe to get around in. These are great right out of the box. I was out yesterday on the North Shore of Oahu with them. I could barely feel the jagged coral I was walking around on because of the sole construction. THey are very light though. I also think they give you a lot better protection than some other simpler sandals. Great buy.
