Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

AT 1 month the sides tore along the seams. At 6 months the straps tore out. Never more disappointed in a pair of good comfortable shoes.

Very comfortable and I Love that they are non slip. Just have to break them in and they will be perfect!

This was my third pair of this particular style of Keens. I am a 10.5-1, B width and have gotten the 11 in the past and they fit fine. These felt a tad bigger than my previous pair. Mostly, they seemed wider to me. I was able to tighten them up with the laces. They are very comfortable and have good arch support for a sandal. I will be wearing them as boat shoes primarily. Keen's are never "stylish" but people buy them for their practicality and durability.

Same size as ordered before in similar Keen shoe but is way too tight.

Trying to replace Keen Venice. These sandals run 1/2 small and are considerably narrower. Footbed very hot and uncomfortable.

I have been a Keen Venice fan, but these Newports fit similarly and are of high quality.

Loved them right out of the box! Just like my Keens from 10 years ago. I'm 69 years old, walk a cattle dog twice a day, wanted something for balance, stability, and quick dry from wet grass. I really give a walking shoe a workout and usually wear them out in a year. Even more reason to buy a quality shoe. I got a beautiful light blue pattern color for spring and summer. 5 stars!

I wish I could keep this shoe!!! I have extreme arthritis in my left foot/arch and cannot bend my foot or toes. I struggled and managed to get the shoe on once. I wore them around the house for an hour, very comfortable and supportive. I took them off and tried to put them back on, but it was such a chore I can't manage it without help. Without any back opening to slide into them it's impossible. Sadly, back they go and I continue my search. Still love Keens!!!

These shoes fit fine but I was surprised by the weight - very heavy - and the materials - very stiff and inflexible. Ok for a rugged mountain hike perhaps, but not for anything else. I wanted sandals! I have hiking boots!

I couldn't put this shoe on at all. There isn't a big enough space to get my heel in, even when pulling the tab awkwardly..

Good

I like these even though they don't have the wide toe box i love from Keen. They stretched enough for comfort but I wear a 9.5 or 10 and these are 10.5 and are too snug. Like the color and the arch support is very good as well as traction...way better on slippery surfaces than any Keens i own.

Horribly tight and narrow, couldn't even get these on. Went for Venice 2.0 instead (even though they're still not wide enough).

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

This has always been my go to pair of sandals. Unfortunately I had ankle surgery and can no longer wear these because they sit on top of my hardware. I am so bummed. I really liked how this pair looked.

I ordered half a size up and they are perfect. I have wide feet and was worried about that but they fit my feet great. I am so happy with these. I have a hard time finding sandals that fit me right and I love the covered toe.

i'm wearing these around the office before I decide if I should return them. They are not roomy in the toe box like my KEEN VENICE. I wear a 9.5-10 and these are 10.5 and my big toes are touching the toe guard. Also feels like the arch is too far back. So if I return I'll be getting a size 11!!!! That's crazy. If my feet swell at the end of the day, these shoes will look like sausage casings with my puffy feet poking out between the straps. Love the color.

This shoe definitely runs 1/2 size shorter than the other Keen styles I have (Whisper & Terradora). These sandals have the best arch support (as good as my Chacos), great lateral support - no heal or side of foot sliding off footbed! All your toes are covered with the rubber bumper. Great traction - they even gripped on my dusty wood floors. Footbed and strappings were completely comfortable - no pinky toe rubbing that I often have with these style sandals. I ordered my usual size 9 the first go 'round. Shoes were fine EXCEPT the heel strap gouged into my heel and left a deep red dent after only 10 min. of wear. So, I reordered a 9.5. The heel strap of the larger size fit more comfortably and there was no noticeable difference in fit w/ the rest of the shoe. However, I found there was still a little bit of irritation at my right heel (right foot is a tiny tad longer than my left) after 15 or so min. of wear. I SO wanted these sandals, but I knew realistically I'd end up not wearing them due to the heel irritation. Reluctantly, I returned them I had also ordered the Whisper style, which don't have near the arch support as the Newports, but are SUPER comfortable. The Whisper also have great traction and lateral support so they'll work for the neighborhood walks, short hikes, and general wear. But for the hours long hikes or days at a theme park, I'll have to stick with my toe-baring Chacos for now.

Fit is good and they are comfortable in use.

Far too wide for my narrow, low volume, high arched foot.

This is my fourth pair of Keens. There's a similar-looking sandal, called Whisper, with a narrower toe box. I love both shoes, but I prefer the Newport's wider toe box, which is excellent for stability on uneven surfaces. I get compliments all the time on both sandals. Great arch support.
