Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I love these shoes! This is my second pair of Keen Newport H2s. My first pair lasted five years until the black part of the sole came off, rendering them unwearable. All the reviewers who suggested sizing up are absolutely right. At first I ordered an 8, same size as my last pair, but the straps were rubbing against my pinkies and giving me blisters. I couldn't understand it -- I'd never had such a problem with Keens before! Then I read the reviews and returned the shoes for an 8.5, and all is right in the universe. These sandals are super-comfortable for all-day walking, they dry fast if you get them wet, and they are very cute (in my opinion). The red color add an extra kick.

This is Keen at it's best! I do a lot of dog walking, not just on paved roads, but on gravel. These sandals - more like little miracles - are the most stable of anything I've ever owned. Not so feminine, but REALLY do the job. Worth the $ - wish I could afford a few more pairs.

Great shoes! Comfortable from the first time I put them on. The design allows for plenty of toe room while still fitting snugly at the heel. This is my third pair, and they are my "go to" shoes for summer. Good for walking and light hiking, good for water activities. Durable.

These keens rock- in look and in function. I was blown away by how great the grey looks w the coral-orangish color- and they fit perfectly! but the functionality.... that's where it's at dude. i hiked three days with these in Canaan Valley, WV- blackwater falls, the Dolly Sods, and seneca rocks. Never an issue any of the days. the Dolly Sods north and wilderness had us trekking through six inches of wet mud at times, crossing creeks, and tons of rocks- none were ever an issue with these Keens! They did not let me down!

The shoes are really nice and very light weight, and they would be perfect except my right ankle bone touches the strap so they won't work for me. I purchased and returned four pairs of the Keen Whisper sandals, and the quality of those were much poorer than the H2. I would highly recommend the H2 over the Whisper. I think the problem of the way they fit me is unique to my foot and most people wouldn't have this problem, so I'd highly recommend the shoes. The light green color is also very pretty and versatile.

I finally had to replace my original Keen Venice sandals after several years of kayaking, canoeing, fishing and hiking. I really liked the look of the new Newport H2s and ordered a pair in my usual Keen size (9.5) when they arrived the Newports fit about a half size narrower and shorter than I was expecting. One quick and pleasant call to Zappos customer service and a pair of size 10s were on there way to me. The 10s fit perfectly, so I would recommend sizing up a half size. Other than that the sandals have the same great Keen workmanship I was looking for.

I received my shoes very timely and they fit my narrow feet perfectly. I do have one 8 1/2 and one 9 foot and fit me well anyway. I ordered size 9 and according to other reviews I felt 9 was my right size.A bit cramped in my larger foot but with give and break in period I think they will be just fine.

Very comfortable. I wear a size 7-7.5 in Keens. Ordered these as size 8. Perfect fit.

Love these shoes. Keens fit my feet so well that I can wear for extended periods upon receiving without getting blisters or feeling discomfort.

I read the reviews, many of which said to order 1/2 size up because these fit small. I did not find this to be the case - my regular size fit fine. These are well made and very comfortable shoes. A great buy!

I've been a Keen customer for many years. I bought this pair for a summer trip via rail and motorcoach. Even though I have plantar fascitis and custom othotics, the built in arch support in these sandals makes wearing my orthotics unnecessary. They're stylish, while protecting the toe and the heel strap provides good support for walking.

Great shoe! These were very comfortable straight out of the box. If your looking for something to live in this summer, you won't go wrong with these.

Just like the first pair of Keen's I bought many years ago, which I still have because they last forever. Only, in very cool colors. Wait 'til you see the soles!

I found this shoe to have great arch support and was very comfortable. After reading reviews to order a half size larger; I did go up a half size and I was very happy with that choice.

These are great shoes for me. I have wide feet and these have a wide foot bed. I was sized for them at the Keen Garage in Portland and was told to get a size 8, a full size bigger than I normally wear. They fit well.

Every year I buy a new color/print of this shoes, and these are by far my favorite pair yet. The bottom of the soles are even as fun as the uppers!

Picture doesn't do them justice. Better looking in person! Feel great! Great arch support, fit like a glove, but not tight. Can't say enough good things. I was wary, but I could not be happier!

I needed a shoe for backpacking in and out of water, and this worked perfectly--with a pair of socks (neoprene or regular) to keep the grit from rubbing my skin raw. I tried the "Venice" model and some Tevas, but these were far and away the better choice. (And the woman in our party who wore Tevas got blisters. I love my Tevas, but they are not your best hiking shoe.) These provide awesome support; it's true that if you get a rock in them you have to stop to get it out, but no shoe is perfect. I hiked across rivers and up ridges for five days, with and without pack, and my feet felt great the whole time.

Keen is one of my go-to brands, I think this is the sixth pair for me. I bought these to wear while recovering from foot surgery, lots of room in the toebox.

I'm about to order another pair of Keen Newports. My first pair (they were leather) was purchased when the company was just starting. I am now buying my eighth pair plus a pair of winter shoes! Many are cycled and worn all the time. I find these are the very best things for my knee's osteoarthritis. I don't need to wear my brace!! The soles, over time, do get a little hard and slippery, especially on the boat deck. I take out sandpaper and rough them up :) Obviously, I love them!

These are great shoes! I wear an 8½. At first I thought they were too snug in the width. Then I realized that I had the adjustment tie to loosen it a bit. It fits like a charm! I love these and they provide great arch support, too!

Very comfortable and great support. You can wear these anywhere, commuting, long walks, get them wet and they dry quick. This is my second pair. My first pair is going strong but liked this new color combo. Consider a half size larger if you're between sizes.

I am normally ALWAYS a size 7 but did follow other reviews and sized up a 1/2 size! Wonderful because the bigger size fit perfectly! Very comfortable and great support. (And this is someone with all kinds of feet problems!)

As usual Keen has created a winner! I wore these right out of the box for 3 days of Amusement Parks in Florida. No slipping after getting drenched on water rides and comfy for the 3 days! I wore them without socks and they were perfect! Wide toebox and straps make the width adjustable.
