Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

This keen shoe is very narrow and runs a whole size smaller I ordered another pair the same make just a different print and it’s just fine so back they went

I couldn't put this shoe on at all. There isn't a big enough space to get my heel in, even when pulling the tab awkwardly..

Horribly tight and narrow, couldn't even get these on. Went for Venice 2.0 instead (even though they're still not wide enough).

I have had two pairs of Keens and they were fabulous but the last pair I looked like donald duck in them. They were not comfortable. Lucky I went to a small town near me and they had a great pair that I bought instantly. You were great refunding my money for them. I have tried wearing them around the house but not good at all.

These shoes came very highly recommended to me, so I decided to buy a pair for my trip to Kauai. I was very excited to test them out. To my dismay, I took them out on a 11 mile jungle trek and was very disappointed! Within 2 miles my feet hurt incredibly bad. I finally stopped to see what the problem was, and I had 3 blisters on top of each other on the arch of my right foot. Needless to say I did not get to do much hiking for the rest of my trip due to the blister. I will definitely be going back to my closed toe Tevas for any more jungle mud hikes! Cute shoe, but would definitely not recommend for brutal hiking.

Broken hearted! I bought these based on the high recommendations and was sorely (literally) disappointed. I have tried wearing them 3 times on water/land treks and they have given me a horrible blister on both feet where the arch of my foot hits the strap. I tried carrying extra moleskin and even wrapping the strap, nothing helps, these are unwearable for me even though I have a narrow foot. Does anyone have any suggestions of another good shoe for that kind of trekking?

Not pleased - Thought they were great, could not wait to get them. I bought and went to Belize, on a boat and they gave me nothing but blister and pain. I had worn them at home to make sure they fit but they were a big disappointment and will return them, not for a refund but for a different style. I have had feed back from friends on this style and they agree. Blisters and pain, sorry Keen but this is an honest opinion.

Whups, made a mistake - The sandals felt great. Wife and I walked around the block. Then again. Felt something 'give' in the left shoe sole. No visible mar. When back to house, blister on 4th toe, from left shoe sole 'canting' to the outside. When standing; looking down on both shoes. Left shoe seems to have lost outside support. Left foot does not fit 'flat' into sole bed. Left 5th and 4th toes shoved into uncomfortable contact with outside webbing. As if the sole had an interior 'blowout'. Right shoe sole centers foot: left shoe does not. Whole family going on Alaskan cruise in one month. This pair of KEEN sandals will not be making the trip.

This is a very substantial sandal. I am a senior and the wide, thick sole offers superior stability and is amazing for maintaining balance which often plagues the older adult. The arches are great, the sandal fits true to size, the closed toe provides protection, and the color selection is good. I have several pairs of these and they have become an everyday shoe for me. They look fine with socks when it is chilly out.

These are very comfortable with excellent arch support. They fit like a glove, but have enough room in the toe area. They feel durable. That being said, they look wide, but feel quite narrow. I do not believe these would be a good option for anyone who has a wide (or even slightly wide) foot. I had bought the Keen Whisper also and even though they looked narrower, my foot moved around quite a bit. They were a cuter shoe. Recommend that one for anyone with a wider foot.(see photo- one on the right is H2)

I love Keen shoes The wide toe box area and support. I chose the colorful color for fun. I wore them when I took a trip to the Galapagos Islands. You can hike short distances in them too.

Felt great Size perfect

Love this for summer hikes. No fuss, easy breezy, no socks, grippy. This is my second pair. I recently, took them to Yosemite and did over 30km on a single hike with no problem. For cooler months, I also worn these with socks at the Arches National Park and surrounding areas for treks and more. Been using this exact brand and model for 10 years now. No complaints.

These sandals are very comfortable!

I wanted a pair of outdoors sandals, that can be used rain or shine, on clean or muddy terrain or in water. So far they've been used numerous times for dog walks, for many miles, and they have been great. Very comfortable and cushy/almost bouncy, with excellent arch support and traction.

BEST SHOES I HAVE EVER OWNED This is my second pair of these! My first pair I literally logged hundreds of miles in. I normally need to wear orthotics in my walking shoes or I have serious foot problems. These I need nothing and my feet feel perfect. For beach or hilly hikes they are incredible.

Comfortable for long walks on sand, concrete, pavers, tile, great for gardening, hiking, shelling, every day wear. Dry fast. A little difficult to get on at the end of the day with swollen feet/ankles but easy off. Very hard to find this type of sandal with perfect support for my high arches. Will be purchasing other colors.

These are my first Keen sandals ever so I cannot compare them to any old styles, but so far I love these! They are really comfortable, and the blue color is beautiful. I did have to size up a half size from my normal "street" size like I would for a hiking boot. I am normally a 7.5 in most casual shoes and had to get these in an 8 for length. I also have a pair of Keen sneakers in a 7.5 that fit, so this style must run a bit small. I love them though. They are cute in an unexpected way, and functional for water sports or anywhere.

These are the combat boots of sandals. Love the chunky look and they are so comfortable out of the box. The air holes provide a nice breeze for your feet in hot weather. My only complaint is that they make your feet a bit hot in Central Texas summer compared to other sandals. Something about the sole material and upper material (polyester) made my feet sweat a little more than usual. But we're talking about over 90 degree heat for months straight - most shoes are not going to keep you cool in those temperatures. The sandals have so many other benefits that this doesn't bother me so much. I didn't have any issues with the sizing and narrowness.

comfortable upper, good level sole for support, great if you have any balance issues, could be more comfortable if grooves inside sole not so sharp, hope they soften with wear. couldn't find anything close to replacing favorite old Merrell blaze sieve.
