Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Keen Newport H2 - These shoes are exactly what I need for my everyday life of driving kids all over the place and for spending countless hours at sports fields. The colors are great and the shoe is as comfy as a sneaker, but way better looking. Zappos is the best. I have ordered several shoes from Zappos and they are at my doorstep 2 days later!! Bravo.

Sandals - At first glance I loved the way they looked off of my feet. However, when I put them on I felt like a duck. It took me awhile to get used to them as they felt wide and I didn't like the way the string stuck straight up. I wore them the first day and tucked the string under the laces. I really liked the way they felt and got used to the look. They are becoming popular in our area and really look cute on the kids. Overall, I like my new sandals, especially the fun color!

Keen - If you look at the multiple views, note on the side views the foot bed has what appears to be a imprint of a foot on it. The problem with this is it is an indentation and causes pain on my heel if I wear them for an extended period of time. Socks may help to prevent this but then what is the point of the shoe. They are very cute-but caused trouble for me on a five mile walk.

Keen Sandles - I like them, but I bought summer shoes in the winter; what was I thinking? I think I still need to wear them more to give an honest critique.

Keen - I have to wear these shoes with black soxs because the plastic sole makes my feet sweet too much and stinky. If you are okay with that, then go for it and buy them. other than that, I like that I can wear this sandel and feel like my toes are protected.

Fun and Functional - Worn with socks, these feel like a shoe. Without, they feel like a sandal. I like that they're lightweight. The lilac color is unusual and fun. I have not tested them on a long walk so I cannot vouch for their comfort. My only complaint is that they look really wide but don't feel too wide. I don't have a wide foot. Really nice shoes overall.

Not a glamorous look but comfortable and versatile- Very comfortable for walking the dog, walking on a treadmill, or lifting weights at the gym. Not suited for high impact activities, but great for casual exercising or casual wear. Funky looking. I would definitely try another pair of Keen shoes, this is my first pair.

Great - Comfy all around shoe -

My Fancy Smanchy Sandles - These shoes are so nice and comfortable, not to mention fashionable and so useful for walking, working and even hiking!!! My kids still think they are too odd looking for them to EVER wear... They really don't know what they are missing! I now own 4 pairs of Keens and probably won't ever buy any other shoe. Thank you Zappos for your excellent customer service....

fun and comfortable - These shoes started out comfortable and grow more so every time I wear them. I like the bright blue color I chose. They're fun to wear with pants or skirts. However! They are NOT cool. You can wear them in the water, but out of the water don't keep your feet as cool as a regular sandal.That surprised me.

Cool and functional shoe.

Cool blue Newport H2 - I love the cool blue color.I haven't used them yet on the water. The more that I wear them the more comfortable they are. Wow! Fast service from Zappos. The only down side of the H2 model is my feet get a little hot in them.

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.
