Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I ordered 3 different styles of the Keen "sandals" because my feet are tricky (high arches, need roomy toe beds, firm arch support, room for socks, and side-to-side stability). The Newports were the perfect shoe for me, even in the Medium width! They're a great fit: solid arch support, stability and roomy even though they are an "M" because you can adjust the rubber ties.

4 stars on comfort because they seem too narrow for my flip-flop foot. I ordered 1/2 size big. I really wanted to have these work for me, but they ended up being too narrow. They offer terrific support and I'm returning my 8.5 and am going to try a 9. I'll try to remember to report back.

Excellent shoes. True to Size, comfortable on day one.

I typically wear an 8.5 narrow. After reading the reviews, I ordered this shoe in a size 9. At the same time, I ordered the Keen Whisper also in a size 9. The Whisper does fit a narrow foot much better and looks trimmer on. I have kept the Newport H2 because I do like it. The elastic across the top can pull it a little more snugly. It is a comfortable shoe. I have flat feet and usually wear othotics, so it is a treat for me to be able to wear a "regular" shoe. However, I will probably order Whispers in the future.

LOVE these shoes! Comfortable and great for walking. Cool in hot weather as well.

Very sturdy and flexible. Great fit.

I looked and tried on several Keen sandals. None were just right-too heavy, too many straps etc Finally I took a try with the Newport H2 - perfect for my ailing bunion decorated feet! I know Keens are the shoes for me.

I love these shoes! I noticed people wearing these everywhere, so I had to try. Expensive, worth the money for the comfort.

I love these shoes and get many compliments on them! As with all keens they are durable and very comfortable! They fit true to size! the colors are magnificent! They are my favorite pair of shoes!

Excellent shoe - great support I can wear all summer long in the woods or to grocery shopping. The only drawback is that it can make your feet sweat so I tend to air them out in the sun on the back patio or throw them in the wash. Very durable and comfortable - I have worn the Newport for a few years now in various colors.

I absolutely love this Keens. They are so comfortable! I wear them all the time now. I initially bought them for a river trip I'm taking later this summer but I have been wearing them for everything! Very comfortable and true to size. I wear a size 5 1/2 and it is sometimes hard to find shoes/sandals that actually fit. At first, I was a little nervous that they were too tight but the adjustable cord made it fit like a slipper! Although they are quite spendy up front, I know they will last me a LONG time! I love my new investment! :)

This is my second pair in the Newport H2 style. My first pair lasted 8 years! I usually wear a size 8 and again sized up to 8.5 for the length. My feet are narrow in the heel and medium-narrow toward the toes and I enjoy the not-tight yet no-blister fit. I have had a total of 5 foot surgeries on both feet (have some pins and plates) and this style completely makes my feet happy. I wear them hiking/walking, to art festivals, to the beach, river rafting and when I travel. They kick off easily in the car or plane. No complaints!

I love these shoes! I have the exact ones in a different color from last year, but now wanted something brown. Even though the description said "slate black," they looked brown in the picture so I took a chance. They are the prettiest brown...just what I wanted! I couldn't be more pleased.

These are very comfortable water shoes with a nice amount of arch support. There is a little extra room in the toe bed, which is protected by rubber. Classic Keen look, a little funky, but functional. I have a cheaper pair of sandals with the same design by another manufacturer, that can't compare to these shoes. Worth the money if you have difficult to fit feet that need a little extra protection and support.

I recently purchased this sandal in the hopes that it would provide better arch support than my current sandals (Eccos). It does. I couldn't be happier with this sandal. It's cute, it's comfortable and it provides great support. I've gotten tons of compliments since starting to wear it. I'm thinking about getting a "backup pair" just in case styling changes. I love it. I followed other reviewers' suggestions of ordering up a half size and I'm glad I did. Also, I have a wide toe box. This sandal fits my toes without scrunching. I cannot say enough good things about it.

I love these Keen sandals! I didn't have to break them in, just put them on and go. They are true to size, so you won't have to order a size up or down. I've also had lots of comments on how nice they were.

This is my 2nd pair of Keen H2 sandals. The first pair lasted over 10 years. I live at the beach and go hiking and to the beach regularly. These shoes have great traction and support. Great quality and my first pair rarely showed signs of aging.

I tried to order these shoes off the Keen site but they were sold out! I was so happy to find them at Zappos! Love these shoes! I have a bad knee and these shoes offer so much support and they are super cute! My happy shoes!

These are my instant new favorite shoes! I am an avid rower and was ruining my knees rowing barefoot & in flip-flops. These Keens provided the stability, support, and cushioning that offered me an immediate noticeable difference in my stroke, and coming off the boat minus the agony in my knees. They are great for rowing for this use, but also because they are an aqueous shoe. I also wear them to walk and hike with my poodles. Same. No knee troubles. So while Keen perhaps cannot claim orthopedic purpose, I can and heartily do! The fit is perfect. I'm a 6 1/2 and they don't slip-slide and they required little-no adjustment when I first put them on, though they are super simple to adjust with the pull cord thingy. The mineral blue/vapor is a really nice color combo with a lighter grey sole instead of the typical black. Perfect for life lived by the seaside and on the water every day. These are not considered fashionable in my book, but the comfort and ease of wearing them, and they make me look sporty kind of sexy, I wear them out dancing too. If you're a rower, kayaker, walker, hiker, I heartily recommend this shoe!

Love the Keen Newport H2. This is probably my 8th pair. These are great shoes. My feet are protected while working and they dry quickly after wearing in the water. I love this Dead Dye series. This is my second pair in the series. I hope Keen keeps this shoe and this series in their line for many years to come.

Love the colors of these shoes - they will go with virtually anything I wear. Very comfy right out of the box. Like the big toe box as I have foot problems and one foot larger than the other. These shoes are just perfect!

I wanted these Galapagos Keens, but they were out of stock at Zappos and everywhere else. Zappos offered to contact me if a pair in my size was returned. I plugged in my email, but I didn't expect I'd ever see the shoe. Yet after I did a good deed at work, I got an email the next day saying this shoe was back in stock! So now I know that if I am nice to somebody, the universe will give me shoes. These H2s are the best. Comfortable the first time I put them on--and I have bunions on both feet. Wore them for nine hours the first day. Love the color. Have gotten compliments. They will last forever, if I know my Keens. Love these shoes. Love Zappos.

These colorful Keens are unique. The tropical colors go with many of my outfits. The soles are a dark brown/black. The Newport H2 is a supportive sandal that are great for walking and traveling. I plan to take them on my upcoming vacation where I will be doing lots of walking. Their arch support is important to my feet. I like the traction on pavement and terrain, even in the rain. I ordered my usual size 7 and they felt very snug on my foot when I first put them on. I had to loosen the elastic band a great deal until they felt comfortable. I think I was just used to my 5 year old Newport H2 pair that has apparently relaxed over time. These sandals will last a long, long time as they are very well constructed.

These sandals never disappoint! They are comfortable and I love the colors which works well with much of my wardrobe. Fantastic buy always!

My favorite shoe. I've worn Keens for years & am so happy when the time comes for a new pair.
