Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Very comfy. I ordered a half size larger, as was recommended, and sure enough, so glad I did! They are probably the comfiest shoes I own. I can even wear them to the gym. Worth the price!

Very comfortable right out of the box. They dry fairly quickly after getting soaked, too. They look great too. I am thinking of purchasing another pair I like them so well.

This is my first pair of Keens and I'm very happy with them. They give my feet the support they need and the sandals are comfortable enough to wear all day. Great for outdoor walking and hiking trails, as well as everyday use.

This is a great shoe. I normally wear a size 7 but bought a 7.5 and they fit perfectly. No break in period, very comfortable. I love Keen shoes although the sizing does not seem to be consistent throughout their line. I also purchased the Voyageur in a 7.5 but they ran larger than the H2, I'm sure the 7 would have been fine. However, Keen shoes are the best as is Zappos! They are No. 1 in customer service.

These shoes are perfect. They've updated the styling on the Newports- the colors are better. The older styles were heavy on the yellow logos. The branding on these is much more tasteful. The size seems to be pretty true. They also can be tossed in the washing machine and clean up great.

I love-love-LOVE these sandals! I just ordered the orange (topaz) color yesterday and I’m wearing them right now as I’m writing this! They fit and feel absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to use them on our traveling adventures! Wasn’t sure if orange was my first choice (I originally wanted the Aqua color, but were sold out), but I’m SO glad I got them! They aren’t too bright, they are just right! The bottom is a camouflage pattern and they just look like I’m ready to have FUN! I first saw these on a recent trip to Belize & Honduras. We were tubing on a river in Belize and my two girlfriends that I was with each had on a pair. I just had on blah boring flip flops. Dumb! We’re hiking through the rainforest and I’m wearing open-toed shoes that I could have gotten hurt wearing. Those two girls loved their KEEN Newport H2s so much, I just wanted a pair for myself! And I’m so glad I finally got my own! They fit perfectly right out of the box, they are comfy, they don’t rub, they actually feel like a combination of slippers and really good tennis shoes! The toe guard doesn’t rub or anything. I read that people say to order a 1/2 size up, but I didn’t find that to be true. I normally wear a size 8 and I ordered an "8". Couldn’t be happier! They fit great! And I want to give credit to Zappos! You guys ROCK! This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve ordered from Zappos and you didn’t disappoint! Their service is perfect, speed is incredible! (Got in a day.) And I know if you need to return something, that runs perfect, too! But you’re NOT getting these back, Zappos! These KEENS are staying with me!

Zappos rules. Ordered yesterday, got them today! Love these Keens. I’ve found the regular Newports are true to size, but I need 1/2 size larger in the H2. So comfortable. Lots of grip around water. I wish they dried a little faster though.

I am one of those people who vary between a size 6-1/2 and 7. It is hard for me to decide which size to order, so I always read other people’s reviews in order to help me decide. Most of the time this helps, but this time it did not. Upon a previous reviewer’s advice, I bought a size 6-1/2 because he/she said the shoe runs small. Perhaps this was the case for that person... but it wasn’t for myself. The size 6-1/2 was too small and the 7 fit just right. This is a very comfortable and cute shoe. I highly recommend it!

Love these shoes! So comfortable. Did have to buy a half size larger than I usually do, but I can walk all day in these with no problem!

I absolutely LOVE my new Keens!!! We go camping and kayaking so I was looking for a shoe that could transition from a trail to the water, this shoe is it. I had been taking tennis shoes with socks for the trails and flip flops for the water, which wasn’t working out well. This way I only have to take one pair of shoes and don’t have to make my feet hot with socks. It’s comfortable and dries fast. I usually alternate between 8 1/2 and 9, in these I took the 8 1/2. When you take them off to dry, I suggest you tip them up. Water tends to gather in the toe if you don’t. I also wore mine around the house for a couple of days just to make sure there wasn’t going to be any blistering. There was one spot that rubbed a little red, but it was fine. Overall... I wish I could afford to have many more Keen’s.

I thought reviewers were exaggerating when they said that they wore these shoes out of the box and just kept on hoofing throughout the coming months. I am now one of those reviewers. Got these shoes a month ago and have worn them daily since. I'm a size 10 and decided to go with that exact size despite the previous warnings. It fit perfectly! They're roomy in the toes and never rub in the back. The only drawback is that if you walk for a really long time in the hot, hot sun, then your feet might start cooking. Love these and probably will get another pair.

These are the best shoes! I wear them constantly and they are so comfortable. I've walked miles in them and haven't gotten a blister or experienced any discomfort. Awesome for being in the water too. I'm thinking about getting another pair because I love these so much!

I was very pleased with how quickly I received my Keens! This is my first pair. I bought my daughter an identical pair the following week. These are comfortable and a great color (lime green)-BUT the shoe is much wider than my foot, so I feel a little clompy when I walk. But they are great and I get compliments on them when I wear them. I bought them for camping and canoeing and they have been perfect for that purpose!

Love ‘em! I just adore Keens, they are my favorite shoe. These Newports are no exception. If you are looking for a good solid walking sandal, these are for you. They are not delicate, but they are funky. The toe box is wide as usual and the support is there for walking miles. I wore these on vacation to Colorado and was pleased. I have gotten them wet and they do dry quickly. I appreciate the good traction. I originally bought the green shade and didn’t care for it, I felt it was too bright. Zappos was great on the return. Orange is my favorite color, but its price was higher. Opted to pay more for the orange pair and I am not sorry!

I love these sandals! I was looking for a good pair of walking sandals, comfortable and non-leather. These come in different colors; the orange I got is great – bright, but not overbearing. The first wearing, I went on a 7 mile walk on city streets. Sooo comfortable. I wear a 5.5 B, a bit on the wide side. Fit was perfect. I recommend these sandals highly.

Perfect shoe for walking in areas that tend to get wet, sandy, or muddy - parks, beaches, etc. Also, great urban walking shoe. Down side: a bit hard to get one - sort of a tug and pull and as others have commented, the feet tend to get hot.

I have a pair of these and LOVE them - they’re pretty close to the only pair of shoes I wear from spring through fall. The pair I already own is about a half size bigger than what I normally wear, but when I purchased them, half sizes were not available. Thinking that my usual size (the half-size) would fit, I ordered this pair as my back-up for when I wear out my first favorite pair. Unfortunately, for me, they really DO appear to run about a half size smaller than marked. I love this shoe and will likely purchase another pair in the size I currently have, when I can find it (not available on Zappos at the moment).

I bought these shoes for a trip to Kauai and they were my BEST purchase. I highly recommend them for hiking, as they work well on sand, rock, clay... wet or dry. I’ve also enjoyed them upon my return home for just taking walks in the neighborhood.

Wish we had these when we were in Hawaii last December -- my daughter stubbed her toes on underwater rocks in the morning and that put a stop to her snorkeling for that day. Plus, it hurt her a lot! I bought these for my entire family for an upcoming summer vacation -- Galapagos Islands. They were suggested/requested by travel company. They are very comfortable and I expect that they will do exactly what is promised; PROTECT OUR TOES in the water. My husband does, however, think his feet don't "breathe" as much as he would like (he is used to Tevas).

These are so comfortable and feel almost like running shoes without being hot and sticky. I tried several of the Keen styles (Newport mule/slide, Venice and Mystic) only to find that the Newport H2 fits my foot the best. The Newport has springy soles and great arch support (very important for my high arches and painful bunion). The elastic cord makes them very adjustable across the top of the foot. I take a 6.5 or 7 - mostly 7's, but the 6.5 fit me the best: snug and supportive without being tight. The grey sole with the lighter, brighter color (green) makes them more summery and just a little less clunky, if that's possible. I feel like I could spend days walking in them without any pain - my feet are very happy so far!
