Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

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.

Thrilled the Granddaughter with these shoes for her birthday. She outgrew another pair of Keens and looked forward to these new ones.

Durable & comfortable shoe!! I have a dozen pairs in differing colors! Each year Keen offers new color combinations.

This is my third pair of these shoes. They are great for summer activity especially when you are going from possibly getting wet to something more rugged where you want good support and to protect your toes. They stay on well and more sneaker like than sandals or flip flops. Important note, I was very surprised that I did have to order a half size larger than normal. My past pairs were true to size.

I love these sandals. This is my second pair. They are so comfortable the first time I put them on. That's the way I like my sandals and shoes to be. No working them in. Just wearing them.

Love them! If you have high arches or wide feet (Me, lucky girl, I have both!) order 1/2 size larger than normal. Very comfortable and the color is killer.

These are great shoes. The toe box is wide - your foot feels relaxed and ready to perform because of the comfort of these shoes. I walked all over NYC for 2 days without any discomfort.

This is the second pair of Keen brand footwear that I have bought. I have the Voyageur shoe, and the Newport H2 sandal. With both pair, I had to return the first pairs, due to issues with the arch support not quite being in the place of the footbed that I needed, to support the arch of my foot. Also, both first pairs seemed to run a bit small/tight. However, because I liked the colors and design so well, I thought I would give them a second chance. In both instances, the second pairs fit perfectly, and I love my Keen shoes, and my Keen sandals. I love the rubber toe guard, the adjustable elastic cord, with a cord lock, and the comfort, support, and traction, in this Newport H2, by Keen. These features are important to me, as I have a hip replacement, and don't want to take chances with slipping or falling. I definitely would recommend for you to give these a try. I am happy that i did.

Got these for a trip to Panama. Wore them there every day for twelve days. They're very comfortable. They got wet more than once but dry fairly quickly and my feet didn't slip in them even when wet. This is my second pair of Keens. They're durable, comfortable, functional, and washable. Highly recommended.

I have owned Keens in the past, and knew that they run small. I ordered a half size larger, and the fit is perfect! I wore these for three straight days at Disneyworld, and my feet were happy! I love the design too.

Love Keens for my whole family. I can do Disneyland for 12 hours and barely feel it. Great for walks in the summer heat when you don't want a big tennis shoe. Washable after a day in the river - but air dry them. If you walk home from the pool in these they dry quickly and sand comes right of them. Wide enough for a wide foot like mine, also adjustable. The synthetic version is a plus over the leather for washability, but have not tried to leather kind, which might be extra comfortable. I bought a lavender color due to its sale price but I think lavender shoes are not necessary and should have spent more on a more neutral color. Kids version is a must, tho wood chips do get stuck in them - a small price to pay for excellent shoes that never wear out after years of use and subsequent washings. I even buy them second-hand sometimes and they are still great.

Great neutral color (Raven/Capri) and fit. These are more substantial than the usual sandals I choose--Rose Slide, St. Barts, but are not too heavy. Zaps, as always, had my shoes here in less than 24 hours. Thanks!

Keen's Newport H2 fits well, supports well, looks good and I can wear them all day. My feet stay cool too. They are great sandals. This is a pretty blue color.

The only brand of shoes I purchase these days are Keen's and these are wonderful. Love the colors, fit and comfort of the Newport H2.

I bought the Newport H2 Galapagos. They are so cute! Keens are not usually super cute, they are more utilitarian. But these are! They also offer super comfort and support, more so than any other brands I have tried. The arch support cannot be beat, they protect your feet, and they are easy to adjust for times you want a more secure fit. Newport H2s are my favorite beach shoes. So far I own five pairs!
