Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I've been wearing these Keen's forever. These were easily a half size too small.

*RUNS SMALL*! I am a 9.5 women’s in almost every brand and shoe style. These are a 1/2 or 1 full size small. Returning for a bigger size and hopefully they will work.

I wear a 2A width shoe and these can be pulled up enough to hold them on my foot. This is my 3rd pair and they last me around 3 years. These are the only water shoe that I have found that fits.

Love the colorful print - I have gotten tons of compliments on them. I need to keep them fairly loose so they accommodate my bunions.

I’ve had a pair of these shoes for over 10 years, and they are finally wearing out. My old pair was a 7, so when Zappos recommended an 8 I thought they’d be too big...so I ordered a 7.5. Zappos was right, I should have ordered an 8! Sent the 7.5s back and exchanged them for 8s. Still waiting for those to be delivered but I’m excited to have a new pair of Keens that aren’t falling apart

This runs a full size small, like most Leens (my hikinhg boots, e.g.) Toe box nice and big, which I love. Could feel texture on the inside and it is a bit too aggressive.

These run very small. At least 1/2 to a full size. Well made and cute though.

I ordered my usual size. Seems very snug and a bit short and the arch is not in the right place. I’ve owned Keen in the past so I’m disappointed.

These are super cute. The shoe felt very sturdy and well constructed. They felt slightly smaller than my normal size. My toes felt crammed around the toe bed. Also for a sandle, the shoes were very hot. I bought them to walk in and knock around the beach and garden. Sadly, I will have to return these.

My foot fits in the footbed, but they feel very tight even with the fastening elastic loosened. This tightness lessens with wear. They are difficult to put on because the textile material does not stretch much around my ankles. However, I do have a thick ankle compared to my size 7 feet. I ordered 7 medium width. So far I have only worn these shoes inside my home, but plan to keep them.

Tight in the ankles. ROUGH material on heel rubbed a blister first day. I am a SOLID size 9 medium, the pair I tried was a 9.5. I could have used a 10. I had bought these for my daughter who is a 9 wide, and they weren't even close. ORDER A FULL SIZE LARGER. ?

I'm so disappointed with Keen sandals the past 2 years. I was a Newport H2 fan all the way, but this year every one I try on is not consistent in width and length. This brown color was so narrow & tight in my usual Newport size 7! I could have tried a half size larger, but the length would be too long. I did try the Hydro, which has pretty much the same footbed as the Newport H2, so I'll keep those. The Hydro definitely runs 1/2 size too short, just like other reviewers said.

This shoe runs very small. I usually wear a 9 1/2 in Keen sandals....I ordered a 10.....still very small....disappointed!

Very substantial sandal. However, I always wear a 10 1/2 and my toes were hitting the end. So I sent back and going to order an 11. I hope this works as I really liked the sandal.

These fit gift and were the perfect shoe for wearing around Universal Studios.

These shoes have made it through three summer camp seasons! I live in a tropical climate so they are my go-to shoes when I need tennis shoe support but don’t want to wear socks and have my feet fully enclosed. The arch support could be better and my ankles start hurting after wearing them for long walks. They also aren’t particularly stylish although I think they’re sporty enough . A coworker calls them my “Air Jordan Huaraches”.

Love the look of these. I've owned many keens but these were just too narrow & i couldn't go a size larger as i wear an 11 and they don't offer a wide. Shoot. Common Keen, some of us have wide feet.

These sandals are not attractive, but they offer good toe protection and a solid sole for rough walking/climbing. They are very heavy and wide in the front part of the foot. I also don't like the feel of the patterned footbed. They're probably great for heavy-duty activities but they're not what I'm looking for so I'm returning them.

Toe box too wide, rubs my toes sometimes, just not very comfortable for long walks as I’d hoped

I’m so disappointed in the fit of these sandals. For me I had to order a half size bigger than my regular shoe size because of the length but that’s not a big deal. What is disappointing is that there is not enough room across the top of the foot. It’s like they are made too shallow right across the base of the toes and over the top of the foot. I ordered the coral color. They say made in Mexico. I then ordered another color (the shark color) in the same size and these are much more roomy. Same length but they are definitely deeper at the forefoot and easier to get on because of the extra room. These say made in Cambodia. Now I don’t know if all those made in Mexico are smaller then those made in Cambodia, or if it’s just pot luck but for a $100 sandal there should be consistency in the sizing. Shame on you Keen. I really wanted the coral ones because that color is so much nicer but I’m just not comfortable in them. Thank you Zappos for your amazing return policy. BTW these sandals have a nice squishy bottom with good arch support. The whisper and the Venice have a firmer footbed with slightly less arch support.

Keen brand tend to run small for me. Other than hat I love the fit. Wide across the ball of he foot area, nice fit across the straps top and back around the heel...no rubbing skin raw.

First off, I LOVE keens! Almost all of my shoes are keens. I have been wearing them for many years. I always buy the shoes 1/2 size up from other brands I wear, and they fit great. For some reason this time did not work out. I could not get my toes into front half of the shoe comfortably. It was difficult to even get the shoe all the way on, even with bungees widening them. I felt like they were not the usual fit, and am bummed to be sending them back.

Bought this pair to replace my 10-year-old Newports which are size 8. Needed an 8-1/2 in this H2 style and the Keen website also said to order a half size larger than usual in this style. I use these shoes for walking my dog on trails or the beach, and they are very comfortable for any walking surface. I wish Keen would lose the gloppy toe look, but the H2 style is a little cuter than the regular Newports. I have the teal color and it is nice. Otherwise, I like this brand for walking pretty much anywhere.

Pros: Great sandal. Wears well. Cool on hot days. Love the Bungee ties because I can make this B-width sandal fit my Very Narrow feet!! Cons: Not a lot of arch support for my flat feet. Because of that, I can't wear these for long walks.
