Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I bought these for a trip to Hawaii so I could hike without heavy shoes and socks while still having toe protection. These were the perfect choice. They were comfortable from the first wearing and required no time to break-in. (Usually I get rubbing/blisters when breaking in any new shoe, but did not with these shoes.) I am a true size 7 and have a borderline wide foot. The size 7 fit perfectly. I originally bought a 7.5 per some other reviews indicating it ran a half size small, but that was not my experience. I had to return them for the size 7, but Zappos makes that so easy. I'm glad I purchased these.

The shoe itself is great. The service is even better. I ordered the incorrect size and they sent me the correct size the next day. Now I have an issue with one of the shoes, the strap is sewed different and hurts my foot so we will see if the return policy still stands...but do love the shoes.

Amazing! This is the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I purchased a pair of Keen Newport H-2s 8 years ago this summer - these shoes have literally gone around the world with me. My Keens have been hiking along the East Coast, walked dirt roads in Ethiopia, trekked the jungles of Grenada, and snorkeled in the Caribbean. To this day, they look and feel amazing. The color is still vibrant, the tread is still good, and the fit has not loosened. I have just noticed one of the seems starting to wear thin, so I will be retiring them soon and purchasing another pair. I feel as if I should put the old ones in a display case!

Good style. Comfortable. Wore these to a child's baseball game after a rain storm. Mud everywere. Came home rinsed them off. Good as new.

I am fitted for a 10 1/2, but wear these in an 11. They are supportive and comfortable, I can wear them all day! Love the super cute color selections, too!

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box! Order 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Great support, great shoe.

I purchased these sandals so I'd have a comfortable walking shoe for our trip to Cancun, Mexico and I WASN'T disappointed! They fit like a glove and were comfy ALL day! I usually wear a size 8 but they were too large and the 7.5 fit JUST RIGHT! Zappos was very accommodating in shipping many pairs of sandals till I found just the right size and color. These go well with lots of my clothes. Thanks, Zappos and Keen!!

I bought these for Costa Rica, and they were perfect! My feet never ached and they were so comfortable and cute.

Love these! But they do run about a half size small so order up. All my other Keen sandals and flip flops are size 7. Got the 7.5 in these and they fit great. They are a bit more narrow but it works great for my feet.

I have a pair of Keen Rose Sandals which I love. I've worn them for many hours of walking and never been disappointed. So when I booked a trip to San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja California, I bought a pair of the Newport H2's. When everyone else wore a pair of rubber boots to exit and enter the pangas, I wore my Keens which were absurdly wonderful. They were comfortable and dried quickly when I hung them from the clothes line at camp. The only downside appeared when I tried to navigate slippery rocks. Because the shoe is rather stiff, it was difficult to "grab" onto the rocks. Otherwise, it was a dream. As to size: I tried my regular 7.5 and an 8.0 just to see the difference. The 8.0 was a bit too big and the 7.5 fit well although I had to push my foot forward into the shoe and then ease the back strap over my heel. Although it took a bit of work, the shoe fit perfectly. These are wonderful water shoes and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Great shoes! I was bored on a snowy day and found these on sale, my favorite color. I ordered them, and they were here two days later. I like them so much that I've sworn off winter shoes and wore them today in 32º weather. They fit perfectly (order a half size larger than your usual size), feel good, look good, and I get compliments on them. Nothing not to like here.

Comfortable sandal, but toe is so big and boxy looking, returning for that reason. Too bad, because they are quite comfy! But they just accentuate how big my feet are and make them look worse. Will keep looking, thanks Zappos!

I just bought my first pair of Keen's and I love them! They are very comfortable and have great support! The suggestion about ordering a half size up is definitely true. I usually wear an 8 and ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfect! Definitely a good purchase!

The shoes are awesome. True to size and great support. I wore them a great deal on a hiking trip in the west carrib recently. Would buy them again.

I have 4 pairs of these Keens, 2 pairs are about 4 years old, 2 a few months old. I am an old gal with arthritic feet/toes but I can wear these shoes all day without pain. The end cap protects my toes, but I have to order 1/2 size larger. I have washed them in the washing machine 20-25 times and hung to dry with no damage at all. They are worth every penny. Last for years. The Newport H2 is waterproof, so it doesn't absorb sweat. They might not work in humid conditions; Keens have other sandals that are not water proof that might be better for that. These sandals allow small pebbles/sand into the shoe so be prepared to shake them out. They tighten up nicely by pulling on the cord, then 3 of mine tuck under the cord, and one has a hook to hook at the other end. Very important to tuck the excess under so you don't snag on something and fall. Took one star off, built for comfort and function, not style.

This is my third pair of this style and I love them. Zappos is so easy to shop at once you find the shoe that works for you.

Wore these for a white water rafting trip. Perfect strap hold and comfortable walking. Solid with arch support. Stylish looking on feet. Not clunky. adjusts easily for tight or loose hold.

I've got these sandals in a variety of colors because I like them so much! They are very comfortable with a nice wide toe box. They never smell, no matter how long you've worn them. They do not stand up to the chewing of a Great Dane puppy, but they've been to Haiti, Africa, and even the "local" amusement park and kept my feet feeling amazing. I wasn't as comfortable in the other styles available, but found these to be perfect.

I am now going on my third pair of Newport Keens and I can't say enough great things about this shoe. You will not be sorry once you purchase them! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes make my feet feel great! I wear them all year; to work, play and around the house. The extra toe coverage will keep your feet very warm. Easy to put on and off also which is a blessing when you're on the run.

My 2nd pair of Keen Newport H2s. They are terrific sandals and stand up well over time. I can wear them walking around town or when I'm out for a day hike or wading in the river. I wear them with socks in the early spring and fall even though my kids hate it. :-)

My cousin recommended these sandals and I am so glad she did. I really love these sandals. I wear them everywhere and they are very comfortable. Its like having a athletic shoe that comes in sandal format. I have wide feet and I was concerned that it would not fit me since it only comes in regular width. But these fit nicely. I did choose to go up 1/2 size than what I normally wear. When I tried on the 7.5 size, it was rubbing my toes. With the 8 size, I didn't experience any of that. Plus, you can tighten it even if length wise its a bit big, which is what I do. It may not be pretty to look at but its good enough for me and my everyday needs. Definitely would recommend to everyone!

I used this for a whole week of hiking in forests and streams and they were absolutely comfortable. I would definitely recommend these if you are looking for waterproof sandals with good arch support. Do note that the Keens seems to typically run half a size smaller.

I actually bought these shoes for a Christmas present, so I have not worn them yet. I do, however, already own the Newport H2 in two other colors and love them. So I am sure I will love the newest pair. I love the color. I normally wear a size 9, but with the Newport H2 I have to order a 9 1/2.
