Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Ordered this item in a size 7, my size in other brands. Returned and ordered 7.5. Maybe it's my feet but the foot bed was not comfortable. The toe of the shoe is rather wide and they looked like clown shoes. Had never bought Keen and my conclusion is that it is not the brand for me.

Eh. I really want to like these shoes, but they aren’t comfortable. The “pebbled” design on the insole isn’t comfortable. After wearing them for a few hours, the texture of the insoles (liner) begins to hurt my feet. They are durable and still look great after having them for over a year. Just not made for me.

These were a little tight, more than I remember my last pair being when they were brand new. I tried up a size, but they were too big and felt clunky, so I decided to keep the size 8. I wore them with socks for a day and got them wet and they fit perfectly like my old ones now.

These are my favorite pair of hiking shoes. I had my last pair for 5years hiking several times in Utah, New Mexico, California, Arizona. They have great grip on slippery rocks. You can go in the water and continue hiking while they dry out. The sizing has changed. Defiantly go up 1/2 a size from your regular shoes. I had to return this pair and get a larger size. Zapper customer service was outstanding! I called them and the switch was made in 10min or so. They did all the work for me! Super nice, super friendly! I will order all my shoes from zappos from now on.

Sturdy and provides great arch support

I had to return this shoe because it looks like a clown shoe. The toe is very prominent.

They are my go to summer shoes. Love the toe guards. All keen shoes seem to have different sizing. My foot runs on the narrow side of medium. I have a narrow heel and dance barefoot so I like to keep my toes wide apart. Very comfortable. Note to Keen. Keep sizing consistent.

I love these shoes but they run small. I usually take a 9.5-10 and the 10 was way too small, the 10.5 was still too tight, needed an 11.

My foot felt too cramped, cute but don't think it works for me.

This my 5th pair of Keen Newport H2 shoes, they are my 'go-to' shoes. I travel a great deal and this style of Keens is not only comfortable, but very versatile. With the gripper sole, they work wet or dry and if it is a cool day you can add a pair of socks. I did find that this style now runs 1/2 size short so I had to switch from a size 9.5 to a 10 for get the right fit.

I need shoes and sandals with support and a rigid sole because of arthritis in my feet and a recent ankle injury. The soles on the Newport H2 were too flexible for me. I ordered Keen Arroyo II at the same time. I am keeping the Arroyo2 because they work so much better for my difficult feet. Thank you Zappos for letting me order and return!!

Sadly these hiking sandals were too “rough” on the inside for my tender tootsies - too many spots rubbed uncomfortably. Very disappointed as I was really looking forward to wearing them on a hiking vacation. ??

These new Newport H2s are stiffer than the first ones they sent me which had a more supple sole, amongst other differences. (I would have kept those but the webbing was positioned incorrectly.) This production style is like wearing cleats: that stiff. The slate color is really dark and the blue trim is vibrant, not muted. Take note when you read the reviews that they might be from the older production style.

I have worn Keen sandals for years. After many, many years I wore out my last pair and replaced them in time for a hiking trip. Perfect for hiking in streams and creeks. They are a half size larger than my normal shoe. Good arch support, better than any other sandals of this variety.

Love these sandals. Good for long walks or trail hikes. Very comfortable. Bought these for my mom after I got mine and loved them.

I bought these in black to be my work sandals. I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet all day. The whispers are nice enough to wear with skirts and pants and provide the support I need. My feet do not hurt or feel tired after wearing them all day. I bought them 1/2 size larger to allow room for my bunion. There and the Keen whispers are my go to sandals for the summer.

These are great sandals, very sturdy.

I wanted these for water aerobics but I found these shoes to be pretty stiff so I am returning.

I really like how they feel and how easy they are to put on.

I normally wear a ten and they felt a bit small for me. The large rubber sole covering the toes makes the shoe very sturdy--but hard on the toes--especially since I don't plan on wearing socks with these shoes. For this reason, I decided to exchange the shoes for a larger size. I imagine these will be a great hiking shoe. Appreciate the great Zappos customer service and ability to exchange with ease and free shipping.

Very cute shoe...however, the left one dug into my heel and I felt that a lot of walking would eventually cause a blister. Sorry I had to return!

This was quite a bit too wide for my foot. The heel strap immediately started rubbing. The appear is wide and chunky. That’s why I’m returning them.

Really great looking sandal but the sole felt a bit hard to me and I was looking for a little more comfort. Perhaps just not a good fit to my feet so I returned.

This pair of keen are great they just look clunky on my feet. I don't know why I keep trying kens as the toe box is just too wide for my feet. They make me look like I have clown shoes on. Other than that the shoes are awesome. I can tell they would have been great to take on my trip to Arizona and Utah hiking. They would be comfortable, allow air to circulate, and easily washed & dried every night.
