Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

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.)

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.
