Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Great water shoe - This shoe is a great outdoor water shoe. It stays on and doesn't rub like my Teva's did. They run small so keep that in mind. Zappos was fantastic!! They had the discontinued color (lilac) and shipped it to me at 'lightening speed'. They can be a bit difficult to get on but are adjustable and they don't dry as fast as Teva's...but hey if you are playing in the water who cares!! Overall I really like them and would recommend them.

Comfortable, functional, and cute besides - These are great summer shoes for the beach, bike riding, hiking, or just running errands. They are sporty and cute and look good with jeans, capris, or shorts. My only minor complaint about these shoes is that I thought they would be cooler, but, instead, your feet tend to get somewhat sweaty. My son liked mine so much that he wanted a pair, but he also mentioned that his feet got hot and sweaty. He loves them nevertheless. I bought the green, which is surprisingly neutral and goes with just about everything, and my son had to have red. I think that they will be a good, long lasting, durable shoe.

Keen Newport H2 -- funny looking but I love them! My friend bought a pair of these for summer hiking and I thought they were the ugliest things I'd ever seen. Then I realized how much better they would be than sweating in boots during 90 degree weather. I LOVE them!! I couldn't believe how comfortable they were the first time I wore them we hiked for 3 hours and I didn't have one blister. The toe cap is great for walking downhill or when you trip on rocks etc. I got the light green and wear them around town too to walk the dogs and garden. I did need to go up a full size, I'm usually a 9 or 9.5 and I got a 10 and they are very comfortable. As usual got great service from Zappos. I ordered the first pair on Memorial Day and still received the following day. I realized I needed the 10 at about 6:00 p.m. and, again, received them the next day. Thanks Zappos!!

Hard to get on & bind a little after all day. Otherwise comfortable & serviceable in water & on land.

Keen H2 & Water sports - I purchased a pair of H2's for myself and my wife for kayaking in the Tampa Bay area. There are great water shoes in that they fully protect your toes when in the water which we do often while wade fishing or throwing a cast net for live bait. My only negative observation thus far is it is difficult to remove shell small rock that works its way inside without fully removing the shoe. Otherwise, an excellent choice for kayaking.

H2 Review - As a pediatric ER nurse, I was thrilled that this shoe had been approved as one we could wear in the ER. The anti fungal sole, hard toe guard and excellent traction make it superb for the work I do and they are washable to!!!

Great service, not the best fitting keen - I have another Keen (Bronx), awsome shoe, but the Newport just feels odd, kind of like you have flippers or something. It is a little narrow if you have wider feet. Overall, I think the shoe is good for day hikes, shleping around where you need more of a shoe, but not comfortable.

Keen sandals are keen!! The sandal fits quite well after you get it on. It is very comfortable. I have worm them all day while teaching school and was able to stand quite a long time due to their comfort! It;s definitely a Medium width so with my wide feet they are hard to get on but once over that hurdle everything else was great!

Very Comfortable, but need to get used to the Big Black Toe - I really like the way the shoe feels. It has a comfortable foot bed and the straps are not binding nor do they rub.

Sizing is standard in my opinion - I read the reviews of others with regards to buying the shoe one half size up, so I was worried and bought a pair of the women's and a pair of the men's. I am a true size 11 and the women's size 11 fit perfectly. They are very comfortable, sturdy and airy shoes to wear. I will enjoy them this summer.

These are cute, but with a wide toe. They are also hard to put on at first, but I hear that they loosen up with time. I have yet to water test them which was my real reason for buying them. I think I really need to spend a summer of playing in them before writing a truly conclusive review, but I have high hopes!

Odd yet mod - I like the support of the shoe. I had foot surgery and need something that supports my arches. The look is odd but rather cool too. The only problems are that my little toe wants to peek out between the straps and gets rubbed the wrong way and they are difficult to put on. I like the ability to tighten the width with the elastic and toggle. I can't want for summer to give them a real try.

Honeymoon Shoes - I had ready many reviews about Keen's before making the investment. One of the things I had heard was that they tend to run a little big so I ordered a half size smaller than I usually would in an athletic shoe, when they came in they were small. I reordered for the larger size and they fit. Wore these on my honeymoon at Disney World and by the end of the day I was ready to take them off. Had rubbed blisters on my little toes. I am overall pleased but beware they will not take the place of a good running shoe when it comes to long periods of walking and being on your feet.

Great For golf, too. I can wear this shoe even when my feet are killing me from long days on my feet. Three dyas of golf in a row - no problem.

Funny looking but sooo comfy! I read countless Zappos reviews before deciding to try this shoe. I originally saw the Newport H2 in an LLBean catalog for $90, thought the idea behind the shoe was a good one (especially with a beach vacation coming up in a couple of weeks), was happy to find it at Zappos for $5 less and free shipping to boot, and liked the fun kiwi green color. As noted in many other Zappos reviews, my order was on my doorstep less than 24 hours after I placed it...amazing!! These shoes fit just perfectly...like a glove, and so very comfortable. I do have to say that I felt a little like Bozo the clown when I first looked down at my toes...the black, upturned rubber tip does look a bit odd. But I'm pretty sure I'll forget about that when I'm running down the beach or tromping through El Yunque! I'm normally an 8-1/2 M, and thankfully, other reviewers' advice to order a half size larger was right on the mark. I also ordered another pair of Keens (the Yogui) and found them to be much less comfy but thanks to other customers' reviews, I'm not afraid to return them (for free--thank you, Zappos!!) and try something else. Zappos has already lived up to the hype; what a great experience so far!!

Beware sand in your sandals! I made the mistake of taking these shoes to the beach. Unfortunately, sand got in and rubbed the skin right off my feet. I could only wear thongs for the rest of my vacation. Also they do make my feet sweat. I am hoping to be able to rinse every last granule of sand out of the lining of these shoes and give them another chance. Between breaking in my Seattles and these, I won't have time for any other hobbies. On the plus side, I was hailed by friends and strangers alike for having the cutest shoes in the world.

Feel great, wear great, but stink. I have several pairs of Keens. My co-workers have several pairs. They are not "cute." Who cares, they are so very comfortable. But, they stink. Sun does not work. Powder is a temporary fix. Who wants to wear socks with sandals. I do love zappos.com.

Trendy Watershoes - I like these shoes so far. They are really cute and comfortable and everyone who sees them wants them. They have, unfortunately, not yet had a chance to go in the water. The only disagreeable things I can say about them are: 1) they make your feet sweat somewhat, and 2) on the beach, they fill up with sand and it is hard to get it out without taking them off. Hopefully I will take them river walking soon (intended use) and see how that goes.

Great shoes! I ordered these shoes because a coworker had them. They suit our business rather well. We are in Hawaii working a t.v. show...lots of long hours on our feet and hot and humid weather. These shoes meet the safety requirements for us to wear a closed toe and yet allow us to have the freedom of a sandle with the support of a tennis shoe. Most of the office has purchased them! We love them!!!

Keens Newport H2 - While the foot bed itself is very comfortable, the stitching on the back of the heel strap rubs and causes great discomfort. The shoe sizes also seem to run small.

Smaller than expected, but comfortable. I have returned these sandals once for size and chose not to return them for a second time for an even larger size. To me, I would say these run a full size smaller than what I normally wear. I have had to wear a 10 on occasion before, but I really feel that a 10.5 would feel more comfortable to me. If you are hesitating, ORDER UP--you will not be sorry! On this particular shoe you can't expect them to stretch out for you as they aren't made of leather. They seem real comfy so far, with the only comment being that when you wear them in the water and sand gets into the toe area it gets trapped and is difficult to remove. I guess that's the price you pay for having a closed, more protective toe on the shoe. BTW, son returned back from Europe and loved the leather version of this shoe for all of his travels.

Ordered these on the advice of Zappos reviews. On dry land, they have been very comfy, even at work. I can't wait to try them out on a wet outing and see how they hold up. Now I'm thinking about ordering the Keen Mary Jane. Take everyone's advice, order 1/2 size larger than normal size.

Keen Newport H2 - I love my new Newport H2 shoes. They are so comfortable, my husband asked if I was trying to break them in and I said NO! I just love to wear them because they are so comfortable. The only problem I have is how long it takes them to dry. I bought my husband a pair and his has a leather-like material and they dry much quicker than mine. Other than that there great.

Keen Newport H2 - Well made and comfortable but felt 1/2 size smaller than marked. I like them for long walks and work-much more comfortable than regular hard soled sandals .

Yes it is worth the money - I LOVE this shoe, it is funtional as a water shoe, a camping shoe, and stylish enough as a city shoe. A sandal I can ride my bike in and not squash my toes or worry that it will get scuffed. Also--it fits my very very wide feet great! which is rare. I have a hard time finding sandals because of my wide small feet but these fit like they were made for me.
