Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

This is a stout shoe. I purchased this shoe because of the style (less holes than the other styles available from Keen). I prefer the Whisper over the Newport H2 because of the weight of the shoe (Newport might be an ounce more than the Whisper). I prefer the Newport H2 over the Whisper because of the style.

As Zappo says delivery was wicked fast, gotta love them. The shoe is a little hard to get on and I didn't find it good for walking very far - not enough arch support and my feet got hot. It will be great however for the main reason I got them, launching the boat. I love my Keen boots and walking shoes, great toe room!

I love these shoes, they are a bit wider than regular size B shoes, but my foot is wider so they fit great. They are very snug so no foot movement for blistering. They seem to run a little bit short so I had to get a 9 when usually I get 8½. I would not call these shoes light but they are not extremely heavy. Keen is good brand any of their shoes will satisfy.

I love these sandals. If you have wider feet like mine they will stretch out after a bit for a better fit. I do have to use the heel loop every time to put them on so I hope it does not wear out. They are extremely comfortable. They were very difficult to get on at first and I honestly thought I was going to have to return them, they are still after stretching out more difficult probably than any other sandal Ive had to get on but its worth it. Its like wearing awesome tennis shoes while wearing a sandal.

I recently moved to the high country of Colorado and felt I needed a rugged pair of outdoor sandals. These are perfect for light hiking, river rafting, gardening and most outdoor activities. The toe protection is a must and it's great in these sandals. They could use a little more arch support for me as I have a very high instep. Since I added inserts they are perfect! I love the color too.

These are okay. I wish they had better arch support. I feel like my fake Crocs have more than these. But they are comfortable enough and I like the color. I probably wouldn't buy them again and it took me a while of wearing them to feel the lack of support--but they'll be good in the rain and for walking the dog.

Very cute and true to size. If you like Keens, you'll love these. Great color. Only thing, part of the side stitching on one strap came off, so I had to restitch a little. Very odd, because these are well-made shoes normally.

Great shoe. Not the awesome arch support of my other Keens, but very comfy. And not too hot and sweaty either with all of the holes.

Very Comfortable - I wear a women’s size 11 and have tried several pairs of Keens only to be disappointed with the sizing--they run really short and a little wide. These are tolerable. They probably could be a little longer for my foot; perhaps because the fact that they are sandals helps. Otherwise, this shoe is very comfortable, machine washable; I could wear them every day.

Comfy Keens - This is my 2nd pair of Keens and the color purple is very attractive. My 1st pair is a different style, but for both pairs, the comfort and style are great. The extra half size is a better fit for me then my normal size.

Nice--but hurts my little toes - I like these shoes. My mom has a pair that I tried on and they felt so GREAT! Then I got these. They feel ok for short times. Then my little toes start to hurt. The webbing strap cuts into the end of my toe. My conclusion is that these straps need to be a little wider by the little toe area or my toes need to be longer. I love the way they look though!

These were comfortable right out of the box. They are my first, but not last pair of Keens. I have had several people ask me about them and give compliments. Good product! But, they did make my feet smell funny the first week I wore them.

These shoes are better for water sports and not walking around all day in. My pinkie toe gets blisters between the first and second strap support. Other thing that I love about them in the water, they don't get all smelly from the water when they dry. Check the Keen Venice. I like them much better.

Feel a little too small - Both my husband and child have a pair and love them so I thought I would too. They are a little hard to get on and feel about a half size too small. They are not as comfortable as my husband claims but hopefully with a little wear they will become so.

Keen is Keen! I bought these shoes from the reviews. I did order a 1/2 size larger and they fit great. I have a knee replacement and work as a part time waitress, so I need a shoe that gives me support and has a closed toe. These are very nice and work well. I do find the Chaco sole more comfortable over time and their arch support is better for a high arch. I am on my feet 6-7 hours without a break, so that comfort is critical. These begin to be a little uncomfortable after about 6 hours. My only real complaint is that you have to take the shoe off to get anything out of it that has worked its way in. All in all a great shoe! I love the green!

Pretty good so far - I was a little nervous that the shoe would feel clunky or that it would pinch my wide feet and stubby toes. But it's turned out to be just fine, and it's great for walking.

Comfortable, but bright - The shoe fits true to size and is extremely comfortable with solid stability. The only negative thing was that I ordered what looked more like khaki on the web and was actually somewhat kiwi. I will make them work because they are so comfortable.

They're still rather ugly, but I love 'em - I took the review advice and ordered a half size larger, and they fit perfectly. They are wonderfully comfortable, to the point that I can actually ignore that ugly toe cap. I used to tease my son for wearing his Keens all the time, but now I know why, so no more teasing from Mom.

Good shoe that needs perfected - I've bought and tried quite a few different shoes meant for water and rough terrain and the Keen Newports are the best I've worn. The toe protection is superior and the wrap around style keeps most rocks and debris out. Also amazing is the material for the soles. They grip extremely well, on sandstone I felt very secure. Also a plus, I have lower back problems and require solid arch and overall foot support. While wearing these shoes I never felt the tell-tale shooting pain of a shoe that's not supporting me. But I think the shoe could still stand to be perfected. Despite trying different sizes I never felt I had a "perfect" fit. Half-size larger was still too small and the ridges inside the shoe hit all the wrong places. The full size larger was a little too big, but it's ultimately what I chose. The slightly too-big fit meant that the strap rubbed my ankle after wearing for a solid 3 hours few hours, but never blistered. And my feet "floated" around a bit within the shoe. I'd like to see this shoe in various widths to allow for a better fit. Also, the shoes leave black stains on my feet from the dye. I thought this would go away after a couple of uses, but after 7 uses in water, still experiencing the same issue. But with that said, these are by far the best water shoe I've worn, comparing with Merrell, Salomon and Columbia brands.

Keen Newport H2 - I was in need of a good, rugged, outdoor sandal and was directed by friends to Chaco’s and Keens. Tried on a couple styles of both brands and found Keen's Newport H2 insanely comfortable as soon as I slipped them on. I wear them anytime I'm outside, and have found them to be a great option for streetwear when it rains as they have good traction. I chose the Kiwi, and the color has yet to dull with dirt. It may not be the most attractive shoe, but the comfort counts here.

Keen Newport H2 - Comfortable shoes, although tight across the top. Too hot for humid Virginia summers but should be ok in the fall and spring.

Good summer shoe - After buying the Keen Venice and Vancouver, I decided to try something new. This is a good shoe, but it's not as comfortable as the Venice which is another sandal style. The style of the Newport is a little more confining and less breathable, but it's still a good shoe. Fits on the small side, but I have a very small foot, so that's ok for me. Others might want to size up.

Keen Newport H2 - Ordering a half size larger was good advice - fit well. Very comfortable. Actually seem less wide than the Venice H2, though I did not think so at first. Great for an everyday sandal.
