Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Love these shoes. Let's face it, Keens are the best shoes, and these shoes do not disappoint. Can't recommend more highly!

Loved the look of this shoe but size 11 was too short, whereas size 11 on the Keen Venice H2 was perfect in size and not too short.

Exactly what I'm looking for, and expecting, in a Born sandal. Great toe box, wide enough, true to size, perfect arch support.

Loved them as soon as I got them on my feet; I’m recovering from a fractured ankle and needed a shoe to support my foot as well as accommodate my splint. I also run a summer program for kids and am excited to wear these everyday so my feet won’t get too hot, they’re waterproof, and I can still be compliant with the “closed-toe” shoe requirement!

I ordered this for my daughter for summer, and while the size appears to be spot on, she couldn't get her foot into the opening. There is not enough give or stretch for her to get her foot past the very narrow foot opening. The adjustable bungie is useless if the material underneath has no give. Wanted to love them, but had to send them back. They appear to very sturdy and would have been great for hiking, etc.

I love this style of Keen. They are true to size and very comfortable I have enough now to wear with all sorts of outfits.

I'm a longtime Keen wearer but these shoes were a total disappointment. Extremely narrow. Not true to size. Terrible synthetic smell. Definitely not what I've come to expect from Keen footwear.

This shoe is made with a rubber sole and other man-made materials for the uppers that do not breathe and not much of a way for perspiration to escape. I'd have to tolerate sweaty feet! And they get that way almost immediately! I returned them. The fit was good though, although a little short. I might have ordered the next half size. Arch support needs to be really good for an exercise shoe if you need that, and the arch support for this shoe was a bit less than ideal. It might have been Ok, though. But it wasn't as good as Birkenstocks or Mozsquitos. Of course, Mozsquitos are the best, but I think they went out of business. They were a Texas company.

I love this shoe! I can wear them all day long.

I love these Keens. They have great support, comfortable, fun colors, and protect all the parts of my feet that are tender! ( ie: toes!) I wore them all summer - they are easy to clean and refresh. They are good to go for another summer! I received many compliments on the colorful style of them.

With an arch problem that requires orthotics, I can no longer walk barefoot on the beach without pain. I ordered these sandals for a trip to Florida and they were fabulous! I was able to go into the water easily due to the large openings which allowed sand and waves to flow right through them. I was even able to wear these sandals walking the two-block distance back to the house. Usually I switch into my shoes with orthotics but these sandals provided a firm, hard sole which was very comfortable. I love them!

I usually wear a 9 and ordered a 9. They were long enough and wide enough through the toe box. I have narrow ankles and wide through the toes. My little toe did not stick out as some have had problems with. My problem was the shoe was just too tight! It was cold when I put them on my feet and wore them around the house and my feet weren't even swollen from the heat and they were so tight around I had strap marks. The inner lining is not adjustable and too tight to be comfortable. I will say the foot bed was very comfortable and supportive so I am sorry I would not wear them!

Bought these for my husband he wore them once at the beach said they weren't comfortable, I would love to return them he want wear them.

These shoes had a great footbed, except an odd line in the front near the toes that seemed like it would cause blisters during wear. The top is deceptive - it has lacing, but has a tight elastic underlay that undermines any attempt to loosen the laces and adjust tension on one's foot. I usually wear a 9 W in street shoes, but ordered a 9.5 W, since these are athletic. The length was perfect at a 9.5, but would definitely have been short in a 9. If you get these, order up 1/2 to a full size. The color was nice. These were a little narrow for a wide.

I bought these for a cave tour that required crossing rivers, swimming, and climbing slippery rocks and these were perfect for every terrain I encountered. I also went on two more hikes in the rainforest and they were very comfortable. I did listen to some reviewers and bought 1/2 a size larger than my usual 6.5 and I wish I had just stuck with my usual size- I am almost always a 6.5 but was afraid they would be too snug. They ended up fitting alright but I had to tighten them more than I would have liked. Get your usual size!

Just bought my 3rd pair of Newport H2, previous shoes lasted ~2yrs of regular/hard use. Great for hiking, slogging through water. I have Morton's neuroma and my feet don't hurt in these shoes, which is rare. Last pair finally broke where the strap attaches to the sole, but only after machine washing twice. I'll still use old ones for yard work, but happy to get a pretty and clean new color combo!

Awesome shoe!

I have a number of these in various colors and love them. So comfortable and lots of support.

Runs extremely small! I ordered my usual size in Keen's and could not even get my foot in the shoe. Must be at least a size or two, too small. The other keens I ordered at the same time fit fine. The color is very pretty so I was disappointed. I should have ordered a few sizes to make sure I could get one in the right size before going on a trip.

These shoes fit great and are very durable.

LOVE these shoes have just about every color.

Too tight. Nice soles.

OMG, absolutely luv my Newport H2 'Free Asia' KEENS. This is my second pair of Newport H2's ... they are comfy right out of the box!Waterproof, groovy design / print -- feel great, look great footwear. Highly recommend for hiking, walking, getting in the lake or river, pretty much a perfect everyday shoe, ESPECIALLY if you are/were a die hard flip flop luving fool living in a warm climate.

Unfortunately I had to return these as they run too narrow. Have other Keene sandals that are wonderful in every respect. I'll look for a model that has fewer cross straps as do my others. That might be the difference that made these too narrow & uncomfortable.
