Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I LOVE this shoe. I've got 2 other pairs of them and they are my "go-to" for many activities - from hanging around to moderate hiking. They grip the terrain well, and maintain the hold when stepping over wet rocks in rivers. As stated by others, you should order about a 1/2 size up. I usually wear a 6 1/2 in my keen Targhee and Voyageur but wear a 7 in these. I don't worry about stubbing my toes hiking when I wear these sandals because of the protection given by the toe box. .

I know to order a 10 in Keens. Normally I wear a 91/2.

This particular color (the purplish gray) fit perfectly. I ordered the teal (same style and size) and it was too narrow on my foot. Keen seems to use two different countries to manufacture their shoes and that made a big difference in size. There was no break in period for these Newports, just put them on, adjust with the bungee cord, hit the trails.

It is rare that I can put on a brand new pair of shoes and wear them all day with zero discomfort, but I did exactly that with these. And I just walked 2 miles in them. They fit perfectly and, while certainly not sexy, they are clunky cute. I highly recommend them.

Perfect! Love them for hiking, walking and sloshing through creeks.

These are so comfortable and they look great. Great for hiking. My new go to sandal.

Great sturdy shoe for hiking and water. Really rugged sole. Good arch support and seems true to size all around. Really good toe protection. The Shark/Swirl Outsole is a really pretty light lavender color. Love it but had to go with tie die color!

These Keens are great!! I love the colors -- mine are real teal/vapor. I've had them before & I've always like them. They fit well!!

Tried and true. Super Comfortable l wear them to mountain bike because of grippy sole and protective toe cap. This is my third pair.

This is my third pair of this model. The newest version is definitely shorter than the previous two - at least a half size.

Cute and functional.

This is my second pair. Great shoe!

Another great Keen shoe!

Loved the color, but my little toe stuck out on both sides and I think it would be difficult to walk in it all day.

My first pair of Keen’s and they’re a keeper! So comfortable even on the first wear.

Very comfortable. Size was perfect. I have a wide foot - these fit perfectly. Love the color. Light greyish purple

I wear women’s size 8 and usually wear an 8 in Keen sandals and an 8.5 in Keen shoes. I ordered a size 8 in these sandals and they felt too short in the toes, so am returning them. I reordered in a size 8.5 and they fit much better. I got the shark color, which looks great.

The shoes run large. I had to go down two full sizes. Pretty design.

These were perfect to go from hiking to kayaking in Belize. From water to ground, they were breathable and also allowed me to have grip when walking. My feet tend to swell during activity and the flexibility of these shoes made it a non-issue. I could just loosen the bungee if it felt tight. Also, these shoes were really padded in the soles and supportive.

I've had a pair of the Keen Newport H2 for about two years - my first pair and I love them. Comfortable right out of the box. I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs and I find that these sport sandals provide all the arch/foot support I need to stay active. They wash well and wear well. I am one very satisfied customer!

I just purchased these for a warm weather vacation. I have not worn them much yeat, but they feel great right out of the box and I think they will be perfect for my trip.

I have a nerve condition on the bottom of my heels called Baxter's Nerve Entrapment; it can be very painful to walk, especially in my heels. I ordered these Keens as per recommendation by my podiatrist for a good water/hiking shoe for my trip to Hawaii. I was not disappointed. There is a lot of room at the front part of the shoe which allows the entire foot to splay out, and this also provides extra support. I completed a muddy hike in Hawaii with these, and they held up the entire time. No heel pain for me at all when I wear them. When I returned home from my trip and found they were dirty, guess what? You can put them in the washing machine. Now, they are good as new. I see what the hype is about with this shoe. For practicality and comfort, there is no better sandal than this one.

I loved these and did wear them for over 2 months. However they made my Plantar Fasciitis flare up. I think is has more of a heel than I realized. They are comfortable and are great for walking on trails eve thru water. used them for all day touring also. Well worth the price, I just can no longer wear them. I switched to a similar style from orthofeet that I have been able to wear without pain.

My husband has these sandals and I was looking for a pair of sandals with a closed toes due to some recent toe issues where I would feel uncomfortable having my toes exposed. When the 7 1/2 arrived, which is my usual size, my toes hit the front of the shoe which is very hard so I exchanged them for the 8. They fit perfectly. Love the color and feel I will be able to walk comfortably in them.

Cute, comfy, great for hiking, water activities, or just around town.
