Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

order one half size bigger - this is my fifth pair

I ADORE these shoes. I have used them for basic hiking, kayaking, traveling, etc. They are my go to every day shoe. I have never had them break but have been hard on them due to daily use so end up having to buy a new pair every year... but TOTALLY worth it. Great shoes!

The fit was good - I ordered 1/2 size larger than a regular shoe and the same size as most of my work out shoes. No break in required - purchased to wear on an Alaskan Cruise Tour and it was the perfect shoe. Highly recommend.

Awesome!!! Love them!

I have a pair of Newports I’ve had for some years, and in this order decided to try the Newports versus the Venice; these are great, fit just like my old Newports, but I decided I liked the Venice and didn’t want to indulge myself by keeping both. Sending back not because of a problem, but just trying not to overindulge in new shoes. :-)

These were great right out of the box. Perfect for summer outdoor activities.

Great sandal. I like the arch support it provides. I wear a 5.5 and the Keen brand is a great fit.

I needed a water sandal/walking shoes for exploring in a jungle and barren desert area. I wanted some toe protection and needed more stability than my Tevas. The Newport 2 felt good out do the box. I normally wear a 9 but with most Keens, including this pair, I needed to go up at least a half size. They were comfortable right from the start but am still breaking them in before traveling. The shark swirl color was darker than it appeared online - looks mauve, gray color, but seemed more pinkish.

These are incredibly comfortable. I needed a sandal-like shoe that protected my toes but was also comfortable to walk/hike in. I'm very pleased.

I had the Keen Whisper style previously. They bothered my ankle bones and the pinky toe on one foot kept “popping out”. No problems with these Newport’s, I love them! Comfortable when wet fairly fast dry, good support and stability.

I ordered a half size larger and that was perfect. They look awesome. I got these for a water park and it rubbed a ton of blisters on one foot. The other foot only had one. Maybe theses aren't the best for being mostly underwater all day, but with bandaids I'm making them work cause they look really cool. Oh, and I have issues with my little toe falling out the side of sandals, and I don't have that problem in these shoes.

Fit was as expected. Very cute shoes. I have had problems with other styles of similar sandals and the placement/width/space between straps. These are perfect.

Comfortable right out of the box. Great support, sturdy on all surfaces. I usually wear an 8 1/2 in most shoes, but in athletic shoes I wear a 9, that is the case with these Keens. 9 Fit perfect.

I'm a solid 9 in all shoes but these felt a little snug. Ordered a half size up and am happy with it!

This is my third pair of Newport Keens. My original pair (at least 6 years old) are still my “gardening shoes” and they were a size 8. They have held up through rugged terrain. I had to go up to an 8.5 with my last two Newports that I ordered, however. But, same good quality and support!

These are great water shoes. Provide excellent support. My feet do get a little warm after wearing them a while.

1/2 size up was perfect,toes did not touch front of sandal. Width was just right, toes did not feel squished. No breaking needed, took an hour hike on trails, very comfortable, second day hike for 75 mins, no sore spots and no gravel got in . My husbnd has a pair he has been wearing for about 2 yrs and says its the most comfortable sandal.

I ordered 1/2 size up from my normal shoe size. I always wear an 8 & wear an 8 in the Clearwater & Whisper but took the advice from the Keen website that recommends ordering a 1/2 size up on the Newport H2. They fit great & offer much more support & protection than the Whisper. I wear to amusement parks with my kids, the pool, the lake, the ball field...everywhere & they are great! Keens wash well too. I have a normal width foot but would say if you are on the narrow dude these would be too wide for you. If you are narrow stick with the Whisper. If you have a normal to wide foot, the Newport H2 is awesome!

A little tight right out of the box but that's good as I have been told that keens stretch out a lot over time. Very comfy and good support, really good for walking in the summer.

Keen makes the only sandal, that I can wear confidently, with problem, flat feet. They are comfortable and well-made. I HIGHLY recommend the Newport style.??????

I wear 9 1/2 or 10, depending on shoe/style and have narrow feet. I ordered the 10 which felt great but my bigger toe graced toe edge. Both Keen and Zappos recommended sizing up 1/2; that toes shouldn't touch edge. Zappos is AWESOME and I had my 10.5 the next day! They also had UPS pick up the 10 for return!! With all that said, the 10.5 fits great although feels a bit looser in width; but the bungy cord corrects that issue. They feel super comfortable and supportive for my arthritic knees. I wore them around town today as it's hard to get idea of potential blisters walking around a small apartment. I did get beginnings of a blister on side of one foot just below toe. I guess there will be a little break in period as some people mentioned in reviews. I love the Poseidon/Capri blue and the matching bungy cords! I look forward to wearing them kayaking and on a trip to French Polynesia next year! (BTW, I did try but returned the Keen Whisper several months ago. It has thinner straps and the lining material/inside stitching seemed to be rough; which caused chaffing.)
