Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Feels great.....always love Keen

The price has gone up on this shoe, but the quality is still very good, perhaps even better. The sole feels lighter but just as sturdy as my older Keens.

Love Keen shoes. Fit better than expected because on the narrower side. Ordered the same size I always do. The grey color is a bit lighter than in the pictures, but not different enough to send back.

short toe box, I'm usually a 5, size 5 fit too snug.

These Keens felt great the minute I put them on!

Keen has a wider profile which works well for me - if you have a narrower foot, you'd have to try adjusting the elastic banding. Overall great shoe, exactly what I needed for a lot of walking and multiple terrain types.

They fit true to size but seem to be really wide at the forefoot. I just didn't like the way they looked on me. They made my feet look huge!

Amazingly comfortable all around my entire foot. Despite what others have stated, these are easy to put on once the elastic ties are properly adjusted. Back strap expands and feels fine. Probably can't use for long walks on cement because I use Hokas, but haven't tried.

Love these shoes. I like then indoors as slippers as well as outdoor water shoes.

True to size and width. I wore these for the first time on a 4 hour hike through waterfalls and a national park. There is 0 break in time.

Love them!

Fifth pair of Keen sandals. Only pair that I could not get my foot into. Very, very disappointed but so happy that I purchased them through Zappos. Seamless service.

Bought these to replace a pair of 15 year old Keens that still look pretty good, but was afraid the soles would not perform correctly on slippery rocks on an up-coming river rafting trip. Will take the old ones for back-up. From the minute I put them on, I could tell they would be perfect. They fit just like my old ones! No break-in required. I wear a 8 AAA with a 5A heel in most shoes. I have high arches. These Newport H2 in size 8 fit great. I adjusted the the elastic so that it was comfortable and my foot didn’t slide around when I walked. I am able to “slip” them on without loosening the elastic: I put my toes in, push my foot forward, and then use two fingers in the back “like a shoe horn” to slide my foot into place. Perfecto! I’m ready for the adventures ahead.

Kind of a clunky shoe, but gets the job done--a rugged sandal suitable for hikes where water might be involved, with toe protection for those inevitable clumsy moments.

Fit and size are perfect. I bought these as my former Keen's — purchased in 1998 and well used — finally wore out. I just wore them on a multi-day canoe trip through Labyrinth Canyon in Utah ... so was constantly in & out of the silty river water. These shoes are the bomb for such activities. And ... for hiking as well as general around town wear. Excellent value.

I haven’t had a new pair of Keen sandals in years. They last forever for me. These have a nice cushion to them and the arch support works very well for my feet. My feet are wide and this shoe fits great. The laces are adjustable which compensates for my different size feet. I am very pleased with them.

This has always been my go to pair of sandals. Unfortunately I had ankle surgery and can no longer wear these because they sit on top of my hardware. I am so bummed. I really liked how this pair looked.

Been wearing Keen shoes for 15yrs

Great walking shoes! They provide good support and I enjoy wearing them. My only concern is that small rock bits seem to find their way into the shoes while walking and there are times I have to stop / remove / clear rocks out before returning to walking. I walk an average of 5 miles / day and the shoes have held up really well.

I bought this Newport H2 and the Hydro in 7.5.... the Newport is definitely larger than the Hydro. The Newport gives me more room in the forefoot area than the Hydro does which is significantly much narrower and way too tight over all in the same size, I couldn't walk in the Hydro at all. The colour in this Newport H2 is quite cute and fun to tromp around in them. I've had 3 pairs of Newport H2 before, this is the first time I broke out of the tradition with "solid colour" and opted for something different and fun for a change this summer. One thing though, I wish KEEN would start offering "wide" width sandals, it's been over a decade since I bought my first Newport and still won't consider making them.

Was too stiff for me. I exchanged them for the Whispers and like them better.

I love these shoes and am planning to order another pair in the near future. I wear them w/socks sometimes and they still feel great. They are true to size, but I may have a metatarsal patch put in them for added comfort of my diabetic feet.

Amazing shoes. I’ve had my second pair for 5 years now. First pair also lasted about 5 years. I wear these dog walking. Very comfortable. Excellent for wide feet. The only thing is they are a bit clunky so they’re not fashionable or cute. And I have learned the hard way that these soles are not good for gravel. They don’t stick. I’ve slipped twice and fallen and really bruised / hurt myself. So don’t wear these hiking on gravel paths, esp downward slopes. Bad news.
