Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Far too wide for my narrow, low volume, high arched foot.

Very borrow had to return

Love the color and I usually love Keens but these did not fit across my toes, too tight.

Compared to my last pair of Keens these are small, wide, and clunky. Not comfortable or flattering.

Just didn’t fit had to order a half size larger.

the shoe itself is the correct size for 11 medium foot however the elastic pink sock that they put inside the shoe was the wrong size so I cut it in strategic places so my foot was allowed to exand the shoe....(once you cut a 4.5 inch hole in your spyder can am seat to allow gassing up without lifting the seat duhhhI can modify anything...) you cant tell either...shoes are the bomb love the colors and now love the comfortable modified fit...now I am on the search for some more in another color that I can cut up. Yes I have a wide foot and cankles...calf ankles

The shoe felt small for me but that could be because of my high instep due to orthopedic issues. I will be returning them as soon as the return address label is sent to me.

I've had these and other Keen sandals for years. For some reason I found these uncomfortable. The toe box seemed smaller and they seemed stiffer than I was used to. I sent them back and will stick with my 'old' keens for now.

While the foot size fit properly the over feel of the sandal was tight.

I wear a size 6. However, in this shoe the size 6 was too short, though the width was acceptable. I ordered a 6 1/2, and found it to be much too wide. I was disappointed to have to return both pairs .

I bought these and the Whisper sandal to compare the two. The Whisper is lighter and has a more slim/streamlined look while the H2s are a bit more heavier, sturdier, and have a wider toe box. When I first put these on they felt comfortable around the house and had more arch support than the Whispers. I liked the added protection around the toe area as well. Unfortunately after wearing them for a full day out and about walking (around a city) I started to notice a few issues: first, the straps that go across dug into the top of my foot, especially in the left shoe. I tried adjusting the bungee mechanism but couldn't find a solution. Secondly, the back straps dug into the back of my heel on both shoes while walking around. Thirdly, I noticed after wearing them for a full day my feet started to feel fatigued. Not sure if this was caused by the above issues or just me noticing how heavy these shoes were after a full day of wearing. Lastly, the shoes just look comical and a bit too wide for my taste and the design of the sole reminded me of camo, which is not the look I'm going for; I ordered Raven/Swirl Outsole - but this is just my personal preference. Would be nice if Keen came out with solid colors for the whole shoe (Whispers kinda have this going for them). So with these issues I'm going to have to return. These were also my first foray into Keen shoes as well. For reference I'm a size 6.5US/37EU and found the sizing to be consistent and not too wide/small for me.

Great looking sandal, but a little snug. One of the straps kept rubbing against and irritating my toes.

I am not keeping this shoe. I was disappointed. I was a wearer of (and still have) the open back Keen Saratoga clog, which I wish was still made (I bought every pair I could find when I saw they were no longer making them.) I needed a water and stony lake beach shoe, so thought I'd try this. If you have less sensitive or "difficult" feet, this might work for you. I on occasion need an 8, and I did in this show, though 80% of the time I'm a 7.5 M. I've got a thin (no fat on feet at all--very bony), spreading "duck" foot, and this shoe fit the duck part fine, but there was no room to spare. The sole was comfortable and had moderate arch support, and it felt good and like I could walk a good ways in it and feet would be protected from sharp rocks, etc. I'm returning because the insides of the shoe weren't very soft. I wished it was lined in neoprene or something, or had more cushion under the straps. There was some lining, but it wasn't enough for me. But, I do have ultra sensitive feet, with a super high arch and instep, so maybe there would be less pressure on someone else. On my left foot, I also felt a little pressure at the outer left widest part of my foot. I'm not sure if I will try another Keen or not. I may look for a similar shoe in a higher end "comfort" brand like Eccoa and see what I can find.

I've never worn Keens before and was hopeful they would work for an upcoming trip that involves hiking and water. I want something sturdy that will dry quickly. However, they are not comfortable to my foot. The forward part of the shoe is super snug, but then the back feels really insubstantial by comparison. I felt like the front was squeezing my foot backward to the heel strap, and it made it feel like my heel was going to slide off the back. Maybe they were a half size too big and a smaller shoe wouldn't have that much play, but then I'm afraid they would be too tight across my midfoot. Back to the drawing board!

I have ordered Keen for years. These ran smaller than narrow than when I previously bought a similar style in Keens.

I have a new pair of Keen Newports and absolutely love them. The size is true and they are so comfortable. I ordered the teal colored pair because I wanted a spare. They were much more narrow than my other new pair, plain uncomfortable. I sent them back in hope's that the shark color will run true to size and width. Keen used to be very consistent with their shoes but this year (2019), I'm finding several styles that are too short and narrow. KEEN, please have better quality control.

These might have been my favorite, everyday shoe except for one slight thing, and that is the placement of the straps. On my other Keen's the strap covers my pinky toes, on this shoe the strap crosses the nail of my pinky toes, leaving me with a strange sensation that my toe may pop out of the shoe at any time. The sensation of the strap on my nail was also strange. That said, the shoe is solid with awesome arch support and looks great. Hopefully you will have better luck with this shoe, I know my issue has less to do with the shoe and more to do with my feet!

These are great sandals, just a little bit too big and clunky looking for what I'm after. Also, the heel strap doesn't adjust, and that would be helpful.

I have had my current pair of Keens for several years and now need a new pair. I even had to size up back then; my size 5.5 had to be a size 6, which fit well. Now the shoes are more narrow than they used to be and the overall cavity is smaller. I ended up having to get a 6.5 to get close, but not exact, to how my old pair fits. I'm disappointed and not sure if I will keep these.

I have owned multiple pairs of Keen Newport Newport and have never had a problem until now. The color I ordered was Mulch. I always order a half size larger in Keen as they do run small, but this pair felt a smidge smaller than normal, but not so short that the next size up would work. It also didn't feel like my foot was setting correctly in the foot bed. I ended up ordering two more - Black Rose and Slate Black. The Rose felt the same as the Mulch, but luckily the Slate Black felt like good ol' Keens! I am uber picky about shoes so maybe this would not be an issue for others. Thank you Zappos for catering to those of us with foot issues.

I loved the look of the shoe, however, I had to return them as they ran small.

I need shoes and sandals with support and a rigid sole because of arthritis in my feet and a recent ankle injury. The soles on the Newport H2 were too flexible for me. I ordered Keen Arroyo II at the same time. I am keeping the Arroyo2 because they work so much better for my difficult feet. Thank you Zappos for letting me order and return!!

These new Newport H2s are stiffer than the first ones they sent me which had a more supple sole, amongst other differences. (I would have kept those but the webbing was positioned incorrectly.) This production style is like wearing cleats: that stiff. The slate color is really dark and the blue trim is vibrant, not muted. Take note when you read the reviews that they might be from the older production style.

Really great looking sandal but the sole felt a bit hard to me and I was looking for a little more comfort. Perhaps just not a good fit to my feet so I returned.

This pair of keen are great they just look clunky on my feet. I don't know why I keep trying kens as the toe box is just too wide for my feet. They make me look like I have clown shoes on. Other than that the shoes are awesome. I can tell they would have been great to take on my trip to Arizona and Utah hiking. They would be comfortable, allow air to circulate, and easily washed & dried every night.
