Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I was - and am still, a little - worried about the velcro on the back strap, but so far,so good. And they feel fabulous! Comfy the moment I put them on and still comfy hours later. And, actually, the velcro back makes putting on/taking off really easy. Love me some Keens!

These shoes are very comfortable for me, and I like the thickness at the toe.

Really liked them ; just too wide. Ordered a different style that fit me better.

I'm comparing them to my 7-year-old Keen CRX. Overall they feel right, but they appear very different. They are much more rugged (?) and better for walking on rocks than my CRX, maybe because the whole amphibious shoe design history told them to make it bigger (see picture - CRX on the left and H2 on the right). If they had a European 37 that would be perfect-- but the sizes appear to be 7 = 37.5 But I'm walking around in them, and they might be better for running through clouds of mosquitoes.

Too big for my feet! They looked like rafts on my feet.....large and rather ugly!

A nicely made shoe with natural materials. Just too small by a half size.

Instep was too high - i couldn't even get them on. I've had Keen Owyhee for years and wish you would get them back in stock.

Great

This is a review for the North Atlantic/Chinois Green color of the Keen Newport H2. They are very bulky looking, which I wouldn't mind if they were well made and fit my needs. Unfortunately these are quite large on me, both in length and width, despite being my correct size (and in comparison, I got the same exact sandal in another color, Grey/Ocean Wave, and they were too small on my foot in width, length, and also height of the toe box). The left shoe wasn't even feeling the same size difference as the right - the right felt even looser. I had to pull the elastic so tight to fit on that they were much too long to tuck nicely. Because of the poor fit, the soles didn't feel comfortable either in the placement of arch and toe support. Because this pair was so much different in fit than the exact same sandal in a different color, I just can't recommend these for any reason. Something is clearly amiss in the production of these shoes.

I wear 7.5 in most shoes, but 8 in tennis shoes/sneakers. I had to buy the 8 (returned a 7.5 as too snug). These shoes are perfect! They provide ample wiggle room in the toes, but don’t slip on the heel. They are cushiony and comfortable and protect my toes in rocky watery areas. Just what I was looking for and I really liked the color scheme.

Straps too tight for comfort. Have worn Keens for 20 years and these are just too uncomfortable to keep.

With relatively narrow feet, I didn't expect these to fit, but they fit great. Good arch support, super comfortable, and the elastic pull-tie to adjust tightness is probably what helped make the fit work. I ordered these and the Whispers, expecting these to be too big and the Whispers to fit because they seemed less bulky. Wrong. The Whispers had a lot of excess fabric in the forefoot area which made my feet feel like they were swimming in them. I kept the Newport H2s and sent the Whispers back. These do have that bulky Keen look, which I actually like, but if you like dainty, you might want to look elsewhere.

Perfectly comfortable right out of the box. I am normally a ladies 8, and the 8 fit perfectly. I was looking for good arch support and these shoes seem to be great.
