Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

OMG, absolutely luv my Newport H2 'Free Asia' KEENS. This is my second pair of Newport H2's ... they are comfy right out of the box!Waterproof, groovy design / print -- feel great, look great footwear. Highly recommend for hiking, walking, getting in the lake or river, pretty much a perfect everyday shoe, ESPECIALLY if you are/were a die hard flip flop luving fool living in a warm climate.

I Love this Keen sandal! Super comfortable and easy to clean. Just wish Keen would make the toe straps wider so my pinky toe would be a little more comfortable and covered.

Loved my last pair, and wore them constantly over the past four years. They go from wet to dry with no problem, offer walking support on long treks, and have fabulous traction. They are finally showing some signs of wear, so I'm replacing them. I would like to see more colors without the patterns woven in. I dislike the geo patterns and ombre look. That will be passe very soon, so I'd rather stick with classic. VERY IMPORTANT to know: These shoes are being made a full size smaller than previously. My size 9's had room to spare in the toes before. Now the 9.5's in the same style are just big enough, no wiggle room. This I do not understand. I would appreciate Keen keeping sizing consistent. Thank you Zappos for the return policy that makes trying on all these sizes possible!

I love these shoes! Comfy and fashionable. The purple is beautiful

I love these Keens. As a many-pair Keen owner, these Newports in a cute turquoise color are da bomb. Super comfy, easy to wear right out of the box. The colors are attractive too.

Love these have serval pairs. So comfortable.

This are so comfortable wore them all day the first day. Love all the colors!

My wife just bought the Keen Newport for the first time and really likes them. Her feet are wide and they create all the space she needs, especially in the toe area. She uses them for hiking and water sports. She uses them on a Stand Up Paddle Board and they work great with good traction and very comfortable. A half size smaller may have fit a bit better but the current size works very well. It is her favorite shoe now.

Love my "Save Asia" design ! The arch support surrounds my arch without the rigidity of Chacos , not as squishy as Volatile. Teva Tirra and Teva Hurricane were the only other shoes offered the arch support I needed ... maybe I don't have that high of arches which could explain why Chacos didn't work for me and the moderate arch support of Teva's did work . But the Sarasota Keen offered zero support . The only con of these Newport are that my little toe is irritated by the strap which a little breaking in and mole skin can easily remedy ! Go for these water , full day on your feet funky sandals !

Runs small!

Every summer our visit to family in Europe involves frequent 2-3 mile walks. Shoes that are fine for everyday wear at home inevitably lead to blisters and other discomfort. So glad I finally found these! Comfortable from the first wear, great support, love them!

These fit perfectly and comfortably from the first time I put them on. I need a sandal to allow me to walk on uneven surfaces and dirt roads. They also keep me from tripping which can happen with flip flops. My feet swell in hot, humid weather and I like that I can adjust each sandal to accommodate swelling which is not the same in each foot.

I took these shoes on a 2 week trip and walked all day in them. I found them to be very comfortable.

I wear an 8 1/2 and originally bought that size. The shoe was at least 1/2 size too small. Had to get the 9. Will be going on tour where we will be getting out of small boats directly into the water so needed a sandal that could go in the water and dry fairly quickly. Also wanted something with some support. I wore the sandals for a day out walking and they felt great right out of the box. Didn't need to break them in at all. We'll see how they perform on the trip. So far my only issue is with the sizing.

Just tried them on for a bit and I can tell these are going to be my new go to summer shoe! They are comfy and have great arch support.

The Newport H2 fit perfectly and was worn on a rafting trip for the first wearing. It was the perfect sandal for dealing with rocks in the river, swimming, and hiking into the portage area.

These are adorable! Favorite pair i have owned!

I always wear a 9 in my Keens, but these seem to run narrower.

I had to exchange because I needed a half size larger than usual with Keens.. No prob since Zappos makes returns or exchanges so easy. I LOVE the looks of this Keens Newport H2 especially the rainbow colors against black. I appreciate the extra support it gives, as I hope soon to be walking in European cities with cobblestones and the like.

Love these shoes. They were extremely comfortable wearing the first time, and love how they look. They are kind of heavy and clunky looking, but I think they will have endurance through any outdoor activity. I was a little apprehensive on ordering my usual size 7M, since I have a pair of Keen hiking shoes in a 7M that are a little too big. This is not the case with the 7M in the Newport. It is true to size and love the wide toe box.

No break in time required, these fit comfortably right out of the box! I have worn them daily to work (I work in a very casual setting) and to walk my dog on both trails and street, and I have had no issues. I receive many compliments on them as well.

I'm blown away at the comfort & support of these shoes. I have another pair of Keens in a similar style, but these put the old pair to shame. These have a very thick, supportive foot cradle that fits like a glove. I have history of fallen arches, but the arches are so supportive it is no problem. The extra cost was definitely worth every penny! I got the black with contrasting pastel stripes - very attractive. I'm thrilled with them!

I normally wear a 7.5 and have been consistently sizing up to an 8 in all of my Keen shoes (work boots, hiking shoes), so I went with an 8 in the Newport H2 and it was perfect. I actually ordered the Newport and the Whisper to decide between the two, but a mix up at the warehouse left me with two pairs of the Newports. I tried them on and wound up liking them so much that I didn't even bother getting the second pair exchanged so that I could try the Whisper. I like that they have a substantial sole and don't feel flimsy; I've gone hiking with them and felt perfectly comfortable. I need some arch support in my shoes and these have just enough. Plus, I love the Raven/Capri colorway!

I love this shoe. I have more than one pair. Unfortunately I think Keen has changed the fit a little bit. I've tried them on in stores and at one store the shoe fits great, then in another store the same size is a little small. With this Keen model I needed a 1/2 size bigger than I normally wear. The stores didn't have 1/2 sizes which is why I buy from Zappos. Plus you can't beat Zappos customer service and free shipping/exchanges. And Zappos has a much bigger color selection than in the stores.
