Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I wear a 7...ordered a 7.5 after reading site comments. 7 would have definitely been too small.

Keen Newport H2 - I really love this shoe. I originally found it online while searching for sport sandals for my 3 year old daughter. She has very wide feet and can only wear certain shoes. This shoe has a wide comfortable toe box area, and they were perfect for her. It was also important to have her toes covered for outside play. She has a very cool aqua color and I loved them so much, I got myself a matching pair. I'm glad I read the reviews and followed the advice to get a size bigger than usual. I usually wear 7 1/2 and in this shoe I had to get 8 1/2. They are extremely comfortable and they clean up in the washing machine beautifully. We're not hikers or climbers, so I don't know how they function for that, but for comfortable, fun summer shoes, these are well worth the money.

Keens are soo comfortable, though this model runs a little small.

Very comfortable shoes - I heard a lot about how great Keens were but I didn't want to put out the $$ for a sandal. I'm glad I did because they are the most comfortable walking sandal I have ever had.

Comfort right out of the box - I looked at this shoe on several occasions before I decided to purchase it. I'm sorry I waited so long! It was comfortable from the first time I wore it. I did purchase it a 1/2 size larger than my normal size. The shoe is roomy in the toe box and doesn't blister the heel. It is a little clunky looking, but that doesn't out weigh the comfort. The only slight minor drawback is that it is a little warm on my feet. I'm definitely going to purchase another pair in a different color. And, as always, Zappos delivers fast and on time!

VERSATILE AND SOOO COOL! They are the best shoe for hiking, climbing, outdoor camping, and even boating. I sailed with these on the Med. for a week and they are comfortable and cool. I will never go back to Chaco’s or Teva’s.

Fit true to size. I am so glad I did not follow the other reviews to order a half size larger. I wear a 9 in Keens and ordered a 9 in this style and they fit and feel great.

Comfort, no break in period - My sister had Newport H2 and had nothing but good things to say about them, comfort, no breaking in period, rugged, easy to clean just toss them in the washing machine. So, I thought I would give them a try. I wasn't sure if I would like them because of the toe cap, they looked kinda chunky. I ordered them a half size larger like everyone suggested. Which I am glad I did. I wear an 8 but ordered an 8 1/2 the 8 would have been too small. I ordered around 6pm and they were at my house the next day, talk about awesome service. I tried them on as soon as they arrived. They are my favorite summer shoe. They are not as bulky as I thought they would be, and they make my feet look smaller. I wear them every chance I get, just wish I could wear them to work. They are going to be perfect for camping, canoeing, water parks or just going to the grocery store. I highly recommend these shoes. :) I'm ordering a Keen bag for school. I hope it is just as nice.

Great for play - I'm looking forward to wearing these to the beach and just kicking around town this summer. They fit well and are very comfortable to wear.

Ready for Summer - I bought Keens for my 4 daughters and myself for hiking this Summer. I usually wear a 9-9½. My toe touched the end of the 9s, but the 9½'s are perfect. If you run between 2 sizes, go bigger. I can't wait to hit the trails!

GREAT! I have yet to really get outside and make use of this shoe in how it's designed to be used, but so far in wearing around the house purely for comfort and fit, it's been wonderful! I will be wearing outside for walks, on the beach, hikes and such, and I know that they will serve me well. Do order a size larger than your normal shoe size. I have a pair of Keen snow boots, too, that I needed to size up from my normal 7.5 to and 8. Zappos service is stellar! Thanks!

LOVE MINE - I really love these shoes. I read the reviews on Zappos before I bought them and ordered 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and they feel great. I live in Houston and we camp and go out in our boat often, but I bought these because we are going to Costa Rica and I wanted a "go-to" shoe that would carry me anywhere, wet or dry. We were out in the boat this past weekend and I was especially grateful that I had them on as the dock was very steep and slick and these shoes really kept their grip. I've been wearing them everywhere.

Great as always!!! I just received my new pair of Keen Newport H2 and they are wonderful as usual. I wanted the new color green and it is added to my collection. These shoes are sooo comfortable on my feet after having 2 foot surgeries. They are my shoes of choice! Thank you Keen!

The perfect shoe for Santa Cruz - I had heel pain and tried this shoe on and the pain is now gone. I have been wearing this shoe since then through most of the winter and now into spring. This shoe is great almost year round in Santa Cruz.

Great all purpose activity shoe - This shoe is fantastic! I bought it for a trip to Costa Rica and it held up great. It was comfortable and was excellent for white water rafting. Two of the guides had on the same shoe! I highly recommend it.

Width - Since there is no "wide" size available, one takes a chance. If one has a bunion, the narrowness of the sandal causes a problem. However, after awhile the sandals conform to the feet. It takes time and patience until the material stretches. I suggest customers wear them before embarking on a journey.

H2 Review - This is my first pair of Keen shoes. I have been wearing the H2 for dog walking and moderately steep hikes. I like the sturdy grip soles. For steeper rocky hikes I would wear a lace shoe with more stability.

So far, so good - These might be the least attractive shoes I've ever owned; however, they are, so far, the most comfortable. I have not yet worn them without socks, but I have worn them with socks (sometimes two pairs at a time) from sunup to sundown with no problems. I was skeptical about ordering a 1/2 size up, but after reading multiple reviews advising to do so, and with such a reasonable return policy, I did and am not disappointed. I will also say that the look is kind of growing on me. I guess comfort will do that for a shoe!

Love these shoes for water aerobics - Bought these shoes for water class, love them. True size, good comfort and my teacher has a similar pair that she has worn for a long time so it seems that they hold up to chlorine and use. Told my Teenage daughter that I bought a "Cool" pair of shoes, she looked at me as if I wouldn't know cool if it bit me, but when she saw them she said, "You’re right I am kinda jealous".

Great as always! This is my fifth pair of Keens (3rd pair of H2) and I'm happy as always! I always order a half size up and am never disappointed. They are comfortable and I wear them with socks when it's cold. They are a stylish addition to anyone's closet. Go get a pair!!

Fabulous overall - Love these shoes! They were the only pair I took on a recent trip to Peru with lots of walking and stair climbing on Inca ruins. They're great with or without socks. My only complaint, which I haven't seen others mention, is that after wearing them exclusively for several days in a row, they seemed to cause drying and cracking around my heels. Not sure if it's because the back is rounded or what - but it got quite painful in Peru. The dry weather may have been a contributing factor. My daughter said she's experienced a similar problem with different shoes that have the same curved shape in the heel. Still - overall, these are incredibly comfortable.

My favorite shoe out of the Keen line. They are the most comfortable shoe I own, and because of that, I even wear them in the winter with socks!

The best shoe ever - I wore this shoe all summer to hike here in northern Arizona where the temps were 80-100 degrees and then I would jump in the river and swim in these incredible shoes and then hike some more over rocks. These are fantastic shoes and I wish I could wear them all winter in the snow. This is a truly wonderful shoe investment. I am buying a second pair just for fun.

Great fit - Ordered shoes half size larger as recommended--I have an AA foot, but the elastic drawstring accommodates my slim width. These are great fitting shoes--and I am very hard to fit-love them and love the funky purple color too!

I love my new shoes!!! I bought these shoes on a recommendation of a friend. We are going rafting in Grand Canyon next year and I needed something rugged but quick drying. I have been wearing them everywhere. I love them.
