Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Love the color, the fact that it is all the same color throughout is a bonus. The shoe feels a little tight, however I am sure the will loosen up. I have many Keens I am never disappointed with them.

I’ve been living in keens for 14 years…so I’m super disappointed that I can hardly get my feet into these! These are narrower and generally tighter than in the past, but the biggest issue is lack of stretch around ankle makes it almost impossible to get my big hobbit feet into them!

Amazingly comfortable all around my entire foot. Despite what others have stated, these are easy to put on once the elastic ties are properly adjusted. Back strap expands and feels fine. Probably can't use for long walks on cement because I use Hokas, but haven't tried.

These are very hard to put on. Once I struggle to get the back strap I. Place they're very comfortable, but it shouldn't be this hard. There's no stretch and no way to adjust the back.

The Keen Newport H2 sandal has changed so much the last 5-7 years -- for the worse, then improved this year in the footbed. It's at least softer/cushier than the last couple years, but still running short in length & not as wide as before. But, the sizing is so inconsistent! The green color fits wider then the blue tie dye, etc. My biggest issue is the heel area - my heels (fairly average) feel the "bumps" where the back straps are inserted into the base. I had to return my order, hoping the Newport Slide feels better.

I've worn the Newport H2 for years, but my last new pair was 2 years ago. I ordered these (April '23) and was so darn disappointed. First of all, I had to try them 3 times for the correct size. My shoe size is a 7, but a 7.5 in this sandal - as of 2 years ago. This year's size 7.5 was much too short/narrow. I tried the 8 and it was still too narrow at the midfoot & back to the heel, but fine in the toes. The 8.5 was much roomier all around, but I returned these due to a heel issue. Maybe my heels have "widened" recently, but these are the only shoe/sandal that has too narrow of a heel cup for me. The sides of my heels started hurting, where the heels press against the back straps. Meaning, where these straps are attached/inserted into the insole there is a hard, small bump. My heels felt this right away, either size, so I had to sadly return them. There just isn't enough width before the heel sides go up to meet the back straps.

These Keen Newport H2 sandals have sadly changed over the past few years, for the worse. They now are very narrow and at least a half size small. This was one thing my feet could count on for perfect comfort, but I haven't been able to wear them for about 3 years. At least they're manufactured elsewhere now, so the inside feels soft & resilient again. The past year's models were hard on the insole, so that's an improvement. I will try one more time to get a half size larger, to see if the width is manageable. My usual 7.5 in these were too narrow & short, heels were hanging on the outside edge.

I have had this model of Keen before and really find them versatile. I was excited to see there were tons of colours. However, what looked like rose/pink to me turned out to be more of a mauve/purple, so I'm returning them.

So disappointed,,,Keen is just too narrow anymore. Keen used to be perfect! Not anymore! They have definitely narrowed the sandal.

Once I got these on, they seemed comfortable, but I wasn't planning on such a struggle to put this type of shoe on my foot. I released the cord to its fullest, but I still was unable to slide them on easily without more hand strength. It would help to have the back strap open up completely. When designing a comfort shoe, it might be a good idea to consider hand strength of an arthritic consumer.

Great fit and comfort---Taking these to the Galapagos Islands!!

Love these shoes. I like then indoors as slippers as well as outdoor water shoes.

True to size and width. I wore these for the first time on a 4 hour hike through waterfalls and a national park. There is 0 break in time.

These fit well. I ordered 3 styles of keen sandals having never had a pair. I ended up keeping 2 pairs because they are great. This pair was not for me because it had a more heavy rugged sole. That may be better for someone else who really wants to get out in the terrain. I wanted something lighter
