Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I just bought the Galapagos and the Dead Dye 4. I have more than 25 pairs of the Keen Newport H2s. They are the only shoe that I wear for 6-8 months of the year. The rest of the year I wear Keens ... just not the sandals. I have been wearing the Newports for over 11 years. They really work well for me because I have had three surgeries on my big toe (with the last one being a joint replacement). The Newport gives me the support and stability that my foot needs yet it feels like I'm walking barefoot because of how easily they respond to whatever terrain I'm walking on (sidewalk to grass to rocks). I'll keep buying these as long as Keen keeps making them and they don't change them! I do appreciate the new cute patterns. Now a true red Newport H2 would help to round out my growing collection!

I usually do not write reviews but in this case I will share. I have worn Dansko professionals shoes for years. My feet are so sensitive and I an carrying around more weight than I should which is so hard on my feet. I was looking for shoes not as heavy and hot for the summer time with more of a flare than all of my Danskos. My daughter told me about Keen shoes and that I should give them a try. And I did. These Keen Newport H2 are the best shoes ever! Thick rubber soles make walking like walking on air. I wore all day right out of the box and my feet were so happy. Easy on and off. Would recommend these to anybody.

This is a fantastic sandal! I needed good walking sandals for a cruise and a few days in Puerto Rico. I had never heard of this brand but decided to give it a try based on all the good reviews. I originally ordered the Venice H2 which I ordered in a half size up based on the reviews. When I received the shoes, they felt a bit loose so I decided to order my regular size (7.5) and also the Newport H2 in both sizes. Oddly, I couldn't get the 7.5 in the Venice H2 on my foot. I tried the 8 in the Newport H2 and that felt big as well. I ended up keeping the 7.5 in the Keen Newport H2. I have a lot of problems with my feet, including hammer toes, high arches and supination of my right foot so I really needed something that would support my foot. I tend to have some balance issues as well. These shoes were great right out of the box. I walked on uneven cobblestones and wet surfaces and did not have any problems. I also wore them in the water and they dried quickly none the worse for wear. I now know several people who wear nothing but Keens and I am now one of them. The only very minor negative is that they are not easy to get on and off particularly when they are new. If you are new to this brand, I would recommend trying a couple of different styles to see what works best for you.

Cannot recommend these awesome shoes/sandals enough! I wore them nonstop for a week in Costa Rica and absolutely no blisters or hotspots even though I didn't break them in at all before leaving (poor planning on my part but it paid off). Used them for some fairly serious hiking, wore them into the hot springs as well as for casual walking and was 100% comfortable. Cannot recommend these shoes and all keens enough, totally worth the money.

The Keen Newport H2 is a perfect fit for my long narrow feet, and offers the arch support I need for my overly flat feet.

I have worn the Keen Newport H2 for several years. With sensitive feet due to rheumatoid arthritis they are very comfortable and supportive. My older pairs are used for yard work. They clean up easily. I do wish Keen would stay with the more neutral colors.

These shoes are awesome! My baby toe had been hurting from getting squashed so I ordered these and now I wear them everyday! They are comfortable, they do well in water and they offer the protection I need to be barefoot underneath. I think they are great and they are my absolute favorite shoes!

I bought the Newport H2 and the whisper. Straight out of the box the whisper were more comfortable and were lighter. But once I started walking in them I realized they didn't have much arch support and my heel kept slipping out the back. While the newport H2 are heavier they felt sturdier and they have excellent arch support! They rub my heel a little at the back but I know after a few wears my heels will get callouses. I'm really loving everything about them honestly! Great outdoor sandals!

I love my new Keen Newport H2 shoes. I cannot wait for warm weather to wear them outdoors! The color is great; the fit is true to size and they are comfortable.

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.
