Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I have worn orthodics for a number of years. Because I like the Keen styles, I have tried several years to find a good fit but was unable to find a style with enough arch support. These are perfect. I like the closed toe, the open sides, and the good support.

There is nothing on earth as comfortable as these Newport H2 Sandals! I had the same pair in lime green for 8 years and my husband remarked how ratty looking they were. What? Yeah, well when you've been worn swimming a muddy river, fishing, walking, mountain climbing, and gardening for all those years, you'd look awfully ratty too. So I bought a new pair. Somewhere along the line, Keen changed the sizes on me. The originals were a 7, my regular shoe size, but the new pair was too small in a 7! But I returned for a 7.5, thank you Zappos, and they fit perfectly. I got the grey with lime green trim, and they are neutral enough they go with anything I might wear - great with shorts and great with jeans. And I do wear them summer and winter, sockless, in Texas, to walk in. What about the old ones? They are still serviceable but, being rather ratty, are relegated to gardening in the backyard only. No more public appearances. Beyond the size issue (consider buying up half a size from your normal shoe size), these shoes have terrific arch support and foot ergonomics. They truly make my aching back feel better. I can wear them all day walking or hiking and my feet are as happy at the end of the day as they were at the beginning. Even after getting wet, they are comfortable and they dry very quickly.

I love these shoes! I'm kind of lazy, and sometimes just slip them on without securing the back strap. It hasn't broken or torn, they are very sturdy and feel like sneakers.

Ok, confession time... I have had a pair of Keen Newport sandals for two years. I have tried every kind of water shoe imaginable and they all gave me blisters. I have been using my keens for Water Aerobics for two years! I have hiked and walked in them and turned around popped them in the washer and wore them to Water Aerobics the next day! I take Boot Camp Water Aerobics with weights. The shoes give me great stability and keep my feet from getting torn up on the bottom of the pool. These shoes are worth every nickle!

Im pretty sure I've had a "shoe curse" my whole life. Inevitably, many of the shoes or sandals I "thought" were comfortable ended up bring horrible to wear in one way or another after awhile. I just had to give it time and. plenty of walking for my feet to kill me eventually. Well, I think I finally have hope that "shoe curse" has lifted. These Keens rock in every way, to my very particular feet. Right out of the box perfectly comfortable. I am able to wear them at work, and after 8 hours on my feet I actually feel MORE energized after work now due to my comfy feet. That's a huge thing to me that I'm not dying to take off my shoes after work or immediately have to sit down and rub my aching feet. I even left them on today after an 8 + hour shift, and cooked and cleaned in them almost forgetting i had them on. Wild, so cute too. I get compliments on them a lot.

LOVE these shoes. Actually this is my 3rd pair (different colors of course). My feet "thank you" for these shoes. :-)

I usually need orthotics, but wore these Keens pretty much nonstop for 3 weeks traveling in Europe. And my feet feel great. I love the happy, coral color -- more neutral than I expected, too. And you can't beat Zappos' service. They told me to order a half size up, and I'm glad I took the advice, as the shoes fit perfectly.

These sandals are awesome. I've had Keens before so I knew what size to get. I love the bright colors. Warning -- if you have not bought Keens before, get at least half a size larger than you normally would.

Incredible sandal. Bought new pair for trip to Hawaii. They were perfect...no break in time. Help from staff for size was great.

Love these shoes. Comfortable from the very first day. Light weight, fast drying and good looking. Nothing like Keens!

I have one gripe with these. I got them about five years ago and I'm tired of looking at them! I wear them all day every day all summer long. I want a new pair in a different color. But I can't justify the new purchase as these will NOT wear out! Put them in the wash and they look out of the box new again. It may be their only fault if you can call it that. At this rate I'll be waring them until I'm dead!

I love these shoes. I was worried a little about the color being too bold, but they basically are neutral. They fit comfortably from day one. Thanks!

The best athletic sandal. I just returned from Costa Rica. Excellent walk in the rain forest and touring local towns. Most comfortable!

Bought these for vacation to wear on a jungle and cave hike, and they were perfect. Very comfortable even on first wear, great for bouldering and going through streams and up wet scrambles. Not the most stylish but definitely the smartest choice.

I bought the Newport H2 in the Hot Coral. I love these shoes so much, I bought another pair in the slate black/canton and a pair for my mother. I ordered the size I normally wear and they fit true size with no problems. The shoes went on sale a week after I bought them and I called Customer Service where they gave me a credit for the difference with no problem. Never will I shop for shoes at the mall again! Zappos has a great selection and wonderful customer service!

Awesome sandals, they feel really good and have a lot of cushioning. The colors are vibrant and go excellent with my clothes. I normally wear a size 11 to have a little bit of room left over and when I ordered these in a size 11 they just fit. So they seem to run a little small. I will buying more!

Keen Newport H2s are the best for walking on rocky beaches, but really for anywhere. So comfortable, and the toe guard is very practical. Not quite as light as the Keen Whisper, but some great colors made me chose the Newport this time. Definitely size up a half size.

I had to go a half size up - they felt narrower than usual. I used these for hiking/wading in Sedona and they were great. Great grip, comfort and support.

This pair of shoes is great. I have worn them around the house to test them out as it is still cold weather where I am. Around the house they feel quite comfortable. I think they are very stylish and am really looking forward to wearing them outside. I am also sure they will be as durable as I need them to be.

Not the prettiest shoe in the world; however, there is little to no break-in required. Great for walks in the woods or days on the water.

I love these shoes. Put them directly in my suitcase from the box. I was a bit concerned taking brand new shoes on a trip but I hiked all over Hawaii in them and never had a problem. The toe box is roomy and that's exactly what I need. I have had surgery on both my feet so I am very picky about my shoes. I think these are great!

I ordered the Venice, Whisperer and Newport H2 a half size bigger based on other reviews. Venice and Whisperer were too large. The Newport H2 was perfect at a half size bigger. So, order this one half size up than you normally wear.

My husband and I love these shoes for everyday wear and travel! They are so comfortable I even wear them in winter with wool socks when I visit my daughter in Alaska. We have hiked with Keens in Panama and Costa Rica rain forests and on all our scuba diving trips. Very often they are the only pair of shoes we take except for an extra pair of flip flops for wearing around inside our hotel room. Definitely worth the money and have bought them for all of our young grandsons; ages 7, 5 and 3.

These are the best Keen's I have ever had! Just wore them for the first time today and went to the quarry to hike the trails off the rim. I expected some discomfort due to them being new and not "broken-in". NONE! So comfortable and no blisters or rubbing. Can't wait to wear them on vacation! I think I will get some more! LOVE the colors! I ordered them in 9 1/2, what I normally wear and the fit is perfect! Thanks Keen and Zappos!
