Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Great walking shoes! They provide good support and I enjoy wearing them. My only concern is that small rock bits seem to find their way into the shoes while walking and there are times I have to stop / remove / clear rocks out before returning to walking. I walk an average of 5 miles / day and the shoes have held up really well.

They were small but I made them work because I wanted them. Technically I have been measured as a size 11 in my left foot and 11 and a 1/2 in my right. If I'm going to have to use an insert I order up to a size 12. Sometimes they are huge but you just have to work with it ... nothing is perfect. At first I was so disappointed because these did not come in a size 12 and they did not come wide. A 12 wide would have been perfect I think. But I had already returned in exchange so many times, I had become weary trying to find something for my hard to fit feet and arch that needs support. I called Keen to verify the support level of the arch on the Newport and was told that that particular style would have the best arch support. I also researched and learned that many times men's shoes of the same style have less support. That explained about some other sandals that I had to get rid of when I had plantar fasciitis. Here's the deal: This had as strong an arch as I'm going to find in a Keen sandal which I still love. These are a small 11 but they're so cute. So what I did was snip each of the stretchy fabric sections underneath the top. I knew I was risking throwing away all of my investment. These are not cheap and I don't have money to burn. Now they fit much better, although my toe does feel the end of the shoe. I was willing to take this risk and it paid off. I was desperate for something to wear around the house that I wouldn't have to lace up, That wasn't made with memory foam which is a joke when it comes to stability, and would not reinjure my feet or ankles and let them breath. I do wish Keen would make them in a size larger and wider, maybe 11 wide would have solved the problem without having to destroy the shoe to make them work. Or better still just reinforce that arch a little on all Keen styles ... it would pay off in $$$.

I bought these shoes as a gift and had to order three sizes to get her the right one but I almost kept the ones that fit me because they are so comfortable.

TOO TIGHT. have ordered company, style before and i can adjust the ties. this one is not comfortable.

I have been wearing Keen Sandals for years -- mostly Ravine Venice or Ravine H2. Neither was available in my size when I ordered the Newport H2. While the Newport H2 is similar in looks to the Ravine, it is much heavier and not as flexible. Also the backstrap fits in a way that it will cause blisters. I am hoping Keen will produce the Ravine again. The Newport H2 has to go back, unfortunately.

I am so bummed, ordered my new pair of Keen sandals after several years and they are too tight, I could not get them on. They are really beautiful too, but when you have a size 11 shoe in Women's already there is no room to order a size up. Thankfully I have several pair of old ones. I personally like the full leather ones myself; I could not find any that are now.

I've bought the Keen sandals for many years. This purchase felt different. The material, the fit, the comfort are all different. Most of all, I could hardly get them on my feet. I noticed that the back strap is short, and falls short of the footbed. I don't know if the country of manufacture (Mexico, in this case) is a factor, but based on this most recent experience, I'll not be buying these again. I'm sorry about this, as these have been my go-to sandal for many years.

Love the colorful print - I have gotten tons of compliments on them. I need to keep them fairly loose so they accommodate my bunions.

Very borrow had to return

I bought this Newport H2 and the Hydro in 7.5.... the Newport is definitely larger than the Hydro. The Newport gives me more room in the forefoot area than the Hydro does which is significantly much narrower and way too tight over all in the same size, I couldn't walk in the Hydro at all. The colour in this Newport H2 is quite cute and fun to tromp around in them. I've had 3 pairs of Newport H2 before, this is the first time I broke out of the tradition with "solid colour" and opted for something different and fun for a change this summer. One thing though, I wish KEEN would start offering "wide" width sandals, it's been over a decade since I bought my first Newport and still won't consider making them.

Awesome sandal lots of support great and comfort!

Was too stiff for me. I exchanged them for the Whispers and like them better.

I love these shoes and am planning to order another pair in the near future. I wear them w/socks sometimes and they still feel great. They are true to size, but I may have a metatarsal patch put in them for added comfort of my diabetic feet.

Exactly the same quality as a pair I’ve had for 10 years! Great shoes for camping!

Love the color and I usually love Keens but these did not fit across my toes, too tight.

I ordered a half size bigger than I usually wear but it was still a little small and squished my big toe. Other than that it fit perfectly.

I usually wear a size 10 but needed to wear a 10.5 in this style. My last pair was so worn out, that these feel kind of tight and stiff but I just know it's because the elastic in the old hair was so broken in.

Wonderful sandal-my third pair.

I’ve had a pair of these shoes for over 10 years, and they are finally wearing out. My old pair was a 7, so when Zappos recommended an 8 I thought they’d be too big...so I ordered a 7.5. Zappos was right, I should have ordered an 8! Sent the 7.5s back and exchanged them for 8s. Still waiting for those to be delivered but I’m excited to have a new pair of Keens that aren’t falling apart

Love the shoe but the toebox needs to be wider or you need to offer this in a wide width

These felt a little snug initially, but I knew from experience that they would loosen up. They have loosened after some wear, and I feel they are true to the size I ordered. They offer perfect support for hiking through wet areas.

Disappointed that just over a year of light to moderate wear, the sole detached. Definitely not up to Keen standards.

I have had Keen sandals before. The fit with this shoe is perfect - did not require breaking in.

I feel like I’m cloud 9
