Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I am in love with these shoes! I bought them for my trip to Costa Rica and they have been perfect! I have climbed waterfall trails and they were perfect for gripping the slippery paths. They were super comfortable and easy to clean off. I ordered these and the Clearwater but I am so glad I choose these because of the tread. The Clearwater is a little more feminine and a bit more narrow but the tread is not the same for what I needed. These are perfect for hiking, water rafting, and anything really!

Love these. These are my third pair of keens. I went back to this style after buying the another similar style of keens with more straps. I found that the placement of the other style's straps rubbed wrong and gave me a blisters, so I went back to my original style which I love and they are so comfortable. Definitely recommend these!

These are the 3rd pair of Keen shoes that I have bought over the past 11 years. I have worn them anywhere from working in surgery, to a cruise, to being on mission trips. They are GREAT and so is ZAPPOS!

Really nice, and comfy! I remember trying on the original Chucks some years ago, and lamenting they just didn't feel very comfortable. Ended up getting a pair of the Jack Purcell's instead, and never looked back. THESE updated Chucks are just incredible! Better than the Purcell's, and worlds better than the original Chucks. No complaints from my feet wearing them all day. Stylish. Would definitely buy again!

I absolutely love these! I did end up with half a size larger. I am a size 10 and the 10½ worked perfectly. They are very supportive, comfortable and great all around shoes. I am headed to Mexico for two months. I am taking two pair of shoes Birkenstock and the Keens for beach and town!

Very comfortable from the first wear. Bought them for vacation in Hawaii and they were perfect. I have trouble finding comfortable footwear and these were a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend.

Great for sailing. I bought these for sailing and I have been most pleased. They fit well, they are comfortable--needed no break in time. They have great traction (important if the boat floor or deck gets wet). BTW, this is the 2nd pair of Keens, the other pair lasted 7 years!

Very comfortable, fits to size! Love the waterproof feature as I use them a lot to walk the beach. I also don't slide around when they get wet.

Great shoes...comfortable the minute you put them on. They have a nice wide toe box for wider feet.

The more I wear these shoes the more I love them! I even put them on after taking a shower, they are just that comfy. I have issues with my left foot having a bunion and not on the right foot, these are great shoes with great support for my high arch. We have tile floors which are especially rough on my feet and legs, these shoes/sandals make all the difference in the world, now if I could only find other closed- toed shoes to do the same! I really need a pair of working boots.

I loved the look of this Keen sandal. I was looking for a multi-sport sandal that would protect my toes on hiking trails and provide stability on wet and dry surfaces. I have wide feet and unfortunately this sandal was just not wide enough for me, so I had to return them. I was so disappointed. I then decided to try the men's model Newport H2 which has a wider width. I usually wear an 81/2 in a women's sandal so I got a size 7 in the men's model. It is a perfect fit. I could not be happier. It is probably the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. Thanks Zappos for making returns so easy.

This has been my go to shoe for the past five years. I have mostly worn them in the fall/winter, but my plantar fascia was torn this summer and this is the only shoe my orthopedist recommends until I heal. Therefore, it has also been my summer shoe. I have a narrow foot and heel, but the cinch strap makes it easy to adjust. I have black, beet red, slate black/canton, mineral blue/vapor and coral that seems to be just a summer color. I wear them with everything, even to church because of my foot issue. They are not terribly feminine and not dressy at all, but I am just thankful to be able to walk without pain! I have gotten lots of compliments on the cannon/slate black. Strangely, Keens' quality control does not seem to be as exact as in previous years. I had to exchange several pairs of the same size until I found the best fit. I do have one foot slightly larger than the other. As always, Zappos' customer service is excellent!

These are fantastic sandals! This is my third pair of Keens. Every time I go to buy a new pair of comfortable, functional shoes I try on every brand in the store and land on Keen. I hiked in the boundary waters of Minnesota for a week over burned, fallen trees; through muck, mud, and water; portaging a canoe, and then went to New Zealand and hiked the cliffs along the coast in these sandals and they never let me down! As for the reviewer who said her feet never change - not true. Everyone's feet change as they age - unless, of course, the reviewer has discovered the fountain of youth - then please share!

Keens are the best. They fit great and are my second pair. I ordered them on Thursday afternoon and they were delivered on Friday by 3, just as promised. I have used Zappos several times and have never been disappointed. I have foot problems and my podiatrist said that these are the best shoes for your feet as they give great support.

Perfect. Had trouble with keens in the past because I have a narrow foot and they often run wide but these do the trick. Super Comfortable footbed (I also have plantar fasciitis) and great in the water. Good traction. Ordered a half size down per other recommendations and at first felt perhaps a bit too small as toes touched, but that went away after one wearing in the water.

These are exactly what I was looking for! I originally ordered the Whisper, but my baby toes got caught in the openings. I wore these right out of the box and did some light hiking with them on and not on a flat surface. Love the color combination, grey and coral.

Wanted a rugged shoe more than a sandal but less than a boot that worked on uneven terrain with rocks and tree roots, and able to get wet. These were perfect!

I did something crazy - I went on a week long trip to Southeast Asia and took only this one pair of shoes. And I had never worn them before! It could have been a disaster but it turns out they are the perfect shoe for hiking around in the hot, humid jungles and rice paddies. I ordered the Venice H2 and the Whisper at the same time and the Newport H2s were the clear winner the minute I put them on. The others got returned. There is plenty of cushioning, good width, room in the toe bed. I ordered in my usual athletic shoe size (about half a size larger than my regular shoes). They are certainly not the most attractive shoes, but they are great for adventure travel!

True to size, excellent fit right out of the box! I have several Keen shoes this by far is the best style for what I am looking for.

LOVE these. They arrived so quickly, I put them right on and... don't want to take them off. I was looking for an alternative to flip flops and skimpy sandals - THESE ARE THE BEST.

Love the style and arch support that the Newport provides. This is my second pair! Was wanting another all black pair, but they no longer had those in women's, so got these. Please note- these are not black and gray, as I had thought, but dark and light gray. Really happy with them even thought the color is not what I was thinking. I have plantar fasciitis and very high arches. If you need superior arch support, these are fabulous!

I love the Newport H2! I got them to replace my old worn out Whispers. The Newport H2 is more supportive and comfortable. I've only worn them for 3 days and they are completely broke in. Please keep this style so I can easily replace them when this pair is shot.

I have a pair of Keen Whisper sandals that I love and when I saw this color ordered it without noticing that it was a different model. Newports are much heavier than the Whisper and crowd my little toes. I returned them.

Thought the shoes ugly, but they look better on. Haven't used in the water yet but I'm impressed with construction of shoe.

Bought these to replace an old pair of Keens.. much lighter weight than the previous pair, but the colors are better. Fit perfectly right out of the box. Good for town walking, shorter hikes, and also look cute with sundresses.
