Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

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.

Finding conformable walking shoes is challenge. I have a bunion, plantar fasciitis, almost flat footed. As I said a challenge. Second pair of these shoes. Walked several miles right out of the box.

I love these shoes. I have 2 other pairs by this brand, but these are more sturdy, very comfortable, and they look great.

These Newport Keens will make your feet very happy. Wear at the gym, on errands, on the beach, gardening, on mountain trails, etc. They aren't the prettiest things happening but nothing beats comfortable feet. My friend wanted to wear them to museums in Paris on her honeymoon and I talked her out of it. She was very sorry she listened to me!

The shoes are very expensive but well worth the price. The fit is perfect and the comfort is what I have been looking for.

This shoe is very bulky and the color brindle is not very attractive. It is not a feminine look in size 11. If you have little feet it might look nicer. It is a quality shoe in any case, well made.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable, supportive, can be adjusted great for a narrower foot and worn all day. I used them all over Disney World for a week as well as a trip to a River in Texas, swimming, walking and hiking mountains. Highly cushioned too and I like the toe grip in the front. Do order slightly larger than usual if you are between sizes. I wear 9 or 9.5 and always 9.5 in Keen.

I am somewhat of a fashion diva. I really love these shoes for fair weather travel. They are nicer looking than sneakers, substantial for long days on hot city concrete. Add socks and you can take an unexpected hike in the mountains. Work well, wet or dry. Fun color and some pattern gives them some fashion pop.

Slate Black is actually brown. I knew that they ran 1/2 size small already, so size was not a problem.

I love KEENS! The Newport style fits even a narrow foot because of the lacing system. They are very comfortable and supportive. I don't think they can be beat for walking. I wear them all year round. Barbara

Love these even more than I expected. I ordered the size I normally wear and they fit perfectly. I thought they might be heavy to wear. No - had them on all day walking around and never had the desire to take them off. These are going to serve me well in Paris and Italy where I expect to be doing a lot of walking. Very happy customer.

I ordered these shoes on Saturday morning and they arrived before Noon on Monday. Kudos to Zappos! I have these shoes in lavender and loved them so I now have them in chartreuse. I hike in them and find they offer great support. Love them for the summer in Winter Park, Colorado where I live, work & play. I may have to order the Hot Coral.

This is my second pair of these. My first pair lasted 4 years of hard abuse. I hope to always have a pair of these. They are my primary shoes. Maybe it should be noted that they feel a little tight the first week. I was worried I reordered the wrong size at first.

I had my eyes on these for a long time before I purchased. I don't buy summer shoes with a strap across the heal. Took a chance and find I like them very much. Nice and wide through the toes, very comfortable and the color/plaid is great. It is a bit of a struggle to get the strap up over my heal but I'm not used to wearing this type of shoe. I have a high instep and the shoe gives great support.

I wear these constantly during the summer. They are excellent around town as well as over rugged terrain. Now, at the end of my second summer, they are beginning to smell a little, and I will probably replace them for next year. Other than the odor, they still are like new.

I wore out my first pair of Keen Newport H2's after hiking and snorkeling in them for 5 years. They always felt a bit tight around my bunions, though, so this time I ordered a half size up and am very comfortable in them. They are perfect for walking on the rocky beaches here in Hawaii, as well as for boating. The arch support is good, your toes are protected, they stay on no matter what, and they dry quickly. I had problems with my first pair getting smelly after being in the water, so this time I'm making sure they dry in the sun between wearings. So far, no problems.

These are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Most of my shoes cause a sharp pain in the ball of my foot. Not with these. It felt like the bed of the shoe was designed just for my foot. I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered 1/2 size up. They fit perfectly.
