Bought them for wife. She loves them! Kinda tight squeeze because of her wide feet, but I have another Keen fan in my family now!

I am normally a size 9 or 9.5 in tennis shoes. In these, I am an 8.5. I was looking for a true hiking sandal and this is it! I even tried chacos (uncomfortable) as well as the Keen whisper (wimpy) before landing on these, and they just don't even compare. I can walk in these for hours and hours and I almost feel like I'm not even wearing shoes! Extremely comfortable, supportive and durable.

The best for crunching through sand and wading into water. Really comfortable, even without socks! I left them sand and salt crusted for, uh, weeks before rinsing them off and they were fine. I bought a half-size up, as they cinch into a comfortable fit.

This is my 4th pair of the Keen Newport H2. I live in them year round. If it is too cold in the winter, then I wear socks with them. I used to have pain in my feet but never again after getting my Keens.

These are my favorite pair of hiking shoes. I had my last pair for 5years hiking several times in Utah, New Mexico, California, Arizona. They have great grip on slippery rocks. You can go in the water and continue hiking while they dry out. The sizing has changed. Defiantly go up 1/2 a size from your regular shoes. I had to return this pair and get a larger size. Zapper customer service was outstanding! I called them and the switch was made in 10min or so. They did all the work for me! Super nice, super friendly! I will order all my shoes from zappos from now on.

They are my go to summer shoes. Love the toe guards. All keen shoes seem to have different sizing. My foot runs on the narrow side of medium. I have a narrow heel and dance barefoot so I like to keep my toes wide apart. Very comfortable. Note to Keen. Keep sizing consistent.

This my 5th pair of Keen Newport H2 shoes, they are my 'go-to' shoes. I travel a great deal and this style of Keens is not only comfortable, but very versatile. With the gripper sole, they work wet or dry and if it is a cool day you can add a pair of socks. I did find that this style now runs 1/2 size short so I had to switch from a size 9.5 to a 10 for get the right fit.

If you like Keens, there is nothing else out there to replace them with.

Reviewed at L.L. Bean
Bought a pair for river float in the Ozarks. So comfortable in water and on land. The toe is protected by the sole overlapping up and over toes - no stubbing toes on rock or debris. I wore with ankle socks to go on lengthy hikes - no blisters, very comfortable. I wear these shoes to go bike riding and hiking at home. The color was true to the photo. I washed them in the wash machine on gentle cycle and they cleaned up beautifully and dried out in the sun. So happy that I'm able to use them on land. Extremely happy with this purchase.

I have worn Keen sandals for years. After many, many years I wore out my last pair and replaced them in time for a hiking trip. Perfect for hiking in streams and creeks. They are a half size larger than my normal shoe. Good arch support, better than any other sandals of this variety.

I bought these in black to be my work sandals. I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet all day. The whispers are nice enough to wear with skirts and pants and provide the support I need. My feet do not hurt or feel tired after wearing them all day. I bought them 1/2 size larger to allow room for my bunion. There and the Keen whispers are my go to sandals for the summer.

I have wide feet, a high arch, and high instep. These worked out great. No complaints at all.

Love these sandals! Just wore them on a camping trip. To be honest, they didn't dry overnight in a humid climate and claims otherwise may be inflated. Also, the sturdiness of the sole did make my feet stiff after a few days of continual wear. But that sturdiness was great for walking over boulders, hiking, walking around camp knowing that my toes were solidly protected. Kept my feet cool, too. Despite the good coverage, don't forget some sunscreen on your feet!

I have a 2007 pair of Newport H2 and I feel the 2018 model runs a half size small. I started with my normal size 8 1/2 and they were just too tight, my pinky toes were rubbing hard. I sized up to a nine and now they fit like my old pair. The shoes are great for the boat, but they are also excellent for years work, keeping your toes protected and fully washable if you get them too dirty. Easy to slip on and off.

I have very wide feet and a tendency to plantar fasciitis. Keen shoes fit me very well and I can walk long distances in them. I like the covered toes which has protected me from debris in wet soil. I like the shoes a lot. They are attractive in their ugliness and functionality.

I had a pair of Newport H2 shoes that lasted more than 10 years and this pair is the replacement. I love the striped uppers and the fact the sole, toe bumper, and the rest of the shoe is black. It makes them look less clunky than most color combinations. However, no matter what color, these shoes are great.

These are now almost three years old, see near-constant wear in summer, and after a trip through the washing machine look brand new.

I first purchases Keen Newport H2 in July 2012. Now in July 2018 I am going to replace them with a new pair. The 2012s are still wearable, but are starting to tear at the sides and are loose. They are still comfortable and I will probably still wear them at the beach. However, getting ready for a hiking trip and the new H2s are coming with me! The price looks high, but I know someone who bought a new pair of knock offs every year at $20 a pop. I think I got the better deal!
