Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

These are much narrower than other Keen shoes. I could barely get my feet in.

Had had 4 different Keen sandals and each had a very different footbed. Only the Newport H2 had the most comfortable bed and decent arch. The footbeds look very similar but the Venice was very hard/uncomfortable. The other issue, with all pairs, is that the heel wears very quickly and faster than other parts of the sole. For the price, I'd really like to see Keen modify the heel so it doesn't wear down to the sublayer.

Clown feet - I loved the idea of this shoe...water, terrain, etc. But when I put them on, I felt like I had clown shoes on. The protective toe is a great idea, but it makes the front of the shoe much wider than the other parts, esp if you have narrow feet like I do. I guess I'll look for another style or brand.

Keen has changed their sizing. I've been wearing Keen closed toe sandals for many years now. I always wear a size 7.5. They are now way too narrow. An 8 fits in the width, but then the foot bed feels off and the shoe is too big. So sad!

I have about 7 pair of Keen shoes and they are my favorite shoes. My last pair were way short! My toes were scrunched. I ordered a half size bigger and they are still short. I’m so disappointed. Now I have to find a shoe that fits me!

The fit was not at all like previous Keen shoes I had purchased, which fit me well and were very comfortable. These were miserable - seemed to pull my foot to toe in -NOT what I was looking for at all. What a huge disappointment. Don't know whether to try Keens again or not.

I have had this same shoe, same size but as I reordered it was very tight

This has been my go-to sandal for years, comfy for my wide feet. Though I ordered the same size I always do, this was much too narrow for my feet.

While the shoes were a little narrow, was confident that had a kept them they would have eventually stretched. The problem was at the ankle. The shoe was choking my ankle.

I have worn this shoe - the KEEN Newport H2 - for as long as they've made them. This is not the same shoe...felt cheap and stiff. Made me sad to see the quality change. They are my go-to sandal for summer.

right toe box is narrow - these do not fit quite like another pair of the same model recently purchased. The difference may fall within tolerance, but it is not wearable for me.

The strap around the ankle was too tight and can't be adjusted. Within the first step I could tell it would form a blister if I walked more than half a mile in the shoes.

Too small, foot bed changed, so arch support differs from previous pairs of keen sandals

Have worn Keen Venice sandals for years. No longer available, so went with the similarly styled Newport, in the same size I've worn in my previous 8 pairs of Keen. Very tight across the top of foot, and not wide enough. My foot feels squished in this sandal. (I don't have a particularly wide foot, but I always liked the extra room in the toe box of Keen shoes--not these though!) They'll be going back.

I have had these shoes in the past and they were much nicer. The material feels cheaper, the size seems smaller, and they were not comfortable. I am returning them.

To me, this sandal runs small. I wear an 8.5 in most shoes. In some brands and styles, I wear an 8. In sandals, I usually wear an 8. I have low density feet which means that many shoes are loose on my feet and I need laces to ensure a snug fit. I have a pair of size 8.5 Keen Newport sandals from many years ago and they fit well. This new pair feels like the toe box is smaller and I can feel my big toe hitting the upper part of the shoe at all times. These also feel tight on every part of my foot to the point where I could not wear them on a recent trip due to my feet being swollen from all the travel and hot temperatures. I ordered a size 9 to see how those felt. The jump from a women’s 8.5 to a 9 results in the shoe itself being a lot bigger. Sasquatch kind of big. There is no way I would wear the size 9 with shorts. I don’t wear a 9 in any shoe and I certainly wouldn’t with this sandal.

I have owned a dozen pairs of Keens and am a loyal customer. However, the last 2 pairs of sandals I bought (Rose and Newport H2) have been so tight over the arch of my foot that I am not able to get my foot in, even with a struggle. I need sport sandals and will have to try another brand. PLEASE Keen go back to more accessible entry into the sandals

Not for people with high arches. Too tight on top of foot. Thought they would be more adjustable.

Runs very narrow.

Disappointed that just over a year of light to moderate wear, the sole detached. Definitely not up to Keen standards.

Way to small and I got my regular size. I could barely get them on, so pretty hard to review. had to return them. Keen used to be my go-to brand, for ten years. Now they all run small and narrow and have a hard foot bed.

Don't bother reading any reviews older than a few months. KEEN shoes and sandals no longer run true to size, nor are they wide with a roomy toe box. I've tried 7-9 different styles and sizes over the past year or more and NONE fit. Keen was my go-to shoe for ten years... Very disappointing. Maybe they will start making more wide widths optional.
