Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Perfect! Love them for hiking, walking and sloshing through creeks.

I have a new pair of Keen Newports and absolutely love them. The size is true and they are so comfortable. I ordered the teal colored pair because I wanted a spare. They were much more narrow than my other new pair, plain uncomfortable. I sent them back in hope's that the shark color will run true to size and width. Keen used to be very consistent with their shoes but this year (2019), I'm finding several styles that are too short and narrow. KEEN, please have better quality control.

I love the fit except my pinkie toe isn’t quite long enough so it gets stuck on the strap sometimes.

These are so comfortable and they look great. Great for hiking. My new go to sandal.

Great sturdy shoe for hiking and water. Really rugged sole. Good arch support and seems true to size all around. Really good toe protection. The Shark/Swirl Outsole is a really pretty light lavender color. Love it but had to go with tie die color!

These Keens are great!! I love the colors -- mine are real teal/vapor. I've had them before & I've always like them. They fit well!!

These might have been my favorite, everyday shoe except for one slight thing, and that is the placement of the straps. On my other Keen's the strap covers my pinky toes, on this shoe the strap crosses the nail of my pinky toes, leaving me with a strange sensation that my toe may pop out of the shoe at any time. The sensation of the strap on my nail was also strange. That said, the shoe is solid with awesome arch support and looks great. Hopefully you will have better luck with this shoe, I know my issue has less to do with the shoe and more to do with my feet!

I just purchased my second pair of Newport H2 in the teal/vapor color. I ordered a half size up as usual. What I like about the Newport H2, is the substantial sole of the sandal. I don’t like feeling the pavement when I walk. These are very stable and supportive. The H2 has more support than the Whisper. I highly recommend. They are worth the cost.

Tried and true. Super Comfortable l wear them to mountain bike because of grippy sole and protective toe cap. This is my third pair.

This is my third pair of this model. The newest version is definitely shorter than the previous two - at least a half size.

I have worn keens sandals for a decade or more now...my Newports had better arch support, so I was a tad disappointed with this Newport "H2"..meaning the NEWER version of the Newport...so guess I'll go down saying I liked the original better, and now I can't find it....may look at another brand...sad

Cute and functional.

I chose the Venice model over this one. These felt very stiff when I tried them, whereas the Venice sandals were comfortable right away.

These are great sandals, just a little bit too big and clunky looking for what I'm after. Also, the heel strap doesn't adjust, and that would be helpful.

Fit and size were fine...rather heavy shoe.

I wear a 8.5W in most shoes, and found that this particular Keen model fits just a half size too small, and although they are not wide width the toe box is wide enough for my wide feet. Most of the other Keen shoes have gotten narrower over the years, but this one retains the wide toe box (yay!). I've had problems with their quality over the past few years (things coming unglued/unstitched after just a few months of normal wear). I'm hoping this pair will last a little longer than the others. It's really been miss more than hit lately with Keen.

I have had my current pair of Keens for several years and now need a new pair. I even had to size up back then; my size 5.5 had to be a size 6, which fit well. Now the shoes are more narrow than they used to be and the overall cavity is smaller. I ended up having to get a 6.5 to get close, but not exact, to how my old pair fits. I'm disappointed and not sure if I will keep these.

This is my second pair. Great shoe!

Another great Keen shoe!

I have had two pairs of Keens and they were fabulous but the last pair I looked like donald duck in them. They were not comfortable. Lucky I went to a small town near me and they had a great pair that I bought instantly. You were great refunding my money for them. I have tried wearing them around the house but not good at all.

Loved the color, but my little toe stuck out on both sides and I think it would be difficult to walk in it all day.

I've worn Keens for years but something had changed. They feel just a smidge shorter and no longer fit my footbed correctly. I thought the pair I received was a 'one off' so I ordered a few more colors to see if there was a difference and they have definitely changed. I finally found a color called Raya Black that felt like my old ones. Overall I love Keens and highly recommend them! Not sure what is going on with the manufacturing.

I bought these Keens to replace the exact same pair of Keens that I bought from Zappos 7 years ago. These are the best multi-purpose hiking shoes if you tend to hike in warmer climates and/or places that might be wet or muddy. My first pair lasted through 5 Hawaii trips (including through the Kauai red mud) and several other hiking intensive trips to NC, Maine, and Colorado. They aren’t the most attractive shoes (I typically wear something much more fashionable if I’m not hiking), but they are comfortable, supportive, easy to rinse off, and have great traction in a wide variety of trail conditions. I am usually a 7.5N and purchased (both times) an 8M, so they run a little bit small. I wouldn’t say they are narrow tho as my feet have a bit of extra room width wise but they are very adjustable and I don’t have a problem with my feet moving around too much. The footbed is solid (no padding) but the material feels both supportive and comfortable. These Keens are quite a bit more clunky than the Whisper (which my daughter prefers) but on my foot my pinky toe fell out the side of the Whisper. In these Newports, my feet feel better protected and my pinky toe stays secured behind a strap. If you really enjoy hiking, I’d say these sturdy Newports are the better choice. If you are looking for something that is “cute” for just walking around, you might prefer the Whisper. These shoes seem to last forever - I probably could have gotten a few more years out of my first pair (7 years later!) except they are extremely faded and I’m worried that Keens might discontinue the style, so I picked up a new pair.

My first pair of Keen’s and they’re a keeper! So comfortable even on the first wear.

Very comfortable. Size was perfect. I have a wide foot - these fit perfectly. Love the color. Light greyish purple
