Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

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.

Great sandal for all sorts of activities - Got these for a trip to Mexico and they were great all around. Footbed was immediately comfortable. I should have worn them a bit more ahead of time because I got a few blisters from the straps, but other than that they were great.

Husband loves these sandals! I talked my husband into getting these sandals, because we were always going to the river and everyone had water shoes/sandals except him, so he was stuck on the bank watching us. He didn't want to spend so much on the sandals, but I assured him that they were worth the money since I have two pairs myself. Turns out these are now his favorite sandals. He says they are very comfortable.

Wonderful Shoe - This is the most comfortable shoe ever worn. I am a nurse and my feet are old and tired - these shoes perked me up. So firm yet soft. I wish I could work in them!

Use critiques to your advantage - I had seen several similar styles of Keen shoes and wanted a pair but was unsure as to which style. Many noted that you should order a half size up which I did. Several buyers commented on how snug across the instep/toes this style was and that that was the only potential negative. Otherwise they loved them. I have a very narrow foot and often slosh around in sandals. I used other's negative as my positive to choose this style. They fit perfectly and I will order another pair before these can ever wear out. They are the most comfortable walking shoes that I have found!

Awesome Sandal - These sandals are so comfortable. I originally bought them as a gift for a friend and when I tried them on I ordered another pair from Zappos.com for myself. Very versatile, can be worn in water, sand, day trips to NYC. And they clean up great. Thanks for the wonderful customer service Zappos.

Fantastic travel and walking shoe - I just love Keen Newports, this is my fifth pair. My first two pairs were the washable leather; my last three are the web. I think I prefer the web. Since the web dries faster, I wore them on the wet rides at the Disney parks. I have also worn these white water rafting in Montana. I have worn these shoes all over the world and they are truly comfortable and good looking in an original sort of way. Actually, there is a secret Keen Newport club. People who are wearing them come up to you and say, "great shoe!" I have bought a Newport wardrobe for my husband and have bought some for my three grown children, in-law-children, and niece. My whole family wore them this summer on a Caribbean cruise. I wear a 7W shoe and I just go up one whole size and wear an 8M Keen. I love that there is so much room in the toe and you can make the elastic cord as loose or as tight as you want. I love that you can wear these shoes with or without socks. If you wear socks, wear thin, not sport socks. I have two complaints. My feet sweat and there is an odor, even with baby powder in the shoe. I have a solution; I wear toe peds in the shoe. Also, I have a high arch and if I walk a lot, my arches need help. I have my shoemaker glue in waterproof arch pads. I love that these shoes can be washed in the washing machine or in the laundry tub. When we come home after traveling I take the Newports and launder them. I'm sure I will be buying more colors!

Keens are keen. These are amazing sandals, wear em with or without sox. And they are great at the beach or walking in rivers too. I tried on one of our kids pairs, as our feet are the same size, so knew exactly what to order.

Excellent shoes - The shoes arrived in the mail very quickly and were the correct size and style. They fit well, are good to walk in, and look great.

Purple Newport H2 - The comfortable insole, the fabulous purple, and the secure fit make these my favorite summer footwear. I even have plastic orthotics and am able to wear them with these shoes without fear of them slipping out. I've worn them in the water, and I wear them hiking in the woods. I love the rugged sole. My only negative comments are that with my orthotics, they're somewhat difficult to get on (but I am learning!), and that my toenails get a little blackened by the firm rubber toe. I imagine that this will lessen as time goes on, and if not, it is no big deal--washes right off.
