Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Very comfortable shoe! I've had Keens for years and finally decided to get a new pair. A little different model than my others...more of a shoe feel than sandal. I love the Free Asia print!! Goes with so much. I'm a size 11 and felt very comfortable and had a lot of support.

Heavy duty hiking shoes. Very comfortable and true to size. A higher profile/thicker sole doesn't allow so many pebbles and rocks to get into shoe/between foot and shoe.

Comfortable shoe and very casually versatile. I ordered my regular size and had to exchange the shoes for a half size larger. These replaced a pair of Keen sandals I wore since 2007 that I purchased for a rafting trip. I expect my new Keens will wear just as well.

Very happy with this purchase. I went a half size up and glad I did. I wear them all day. Dry very fast

Beware: if you have been buying Newports in the past and are buying a new pair, you will want to size up "another" half size than you usually do. I have been wearing Newports for a dozen years. I have more than 30 pairs of this very shoe. My foot is a 9.5 ... I wear a size 10 in women's Newport (and a size 8 in men's Newport). Over the last couple of weeks I have bought two pairs, one women's and one men's. I had to return both of them and size up to 10.5 and 8.5. This is a very discouraging trend that I have noticed with Keen over the past couple of years. Their quality is going down, the shoes aren't nearly as roomy as they used to be, and now, they aren't even sizing them the same way. So, my suggestion would be to take advantage of Zappos free return shipping and order your regular size and and half size up and try them both and return the "too small" pair.

I ordered size 8 but I couldn't even get half my foot in the shoe. There are no sizes written on the shoe, so I don't know what size was sent. I am exchanging it with a different style and color, hope I get sent the correct shoe and size next time.

The Keen Newport H2 is a great closed toe sandle. After years of adventure travel in and around water I decided it was time for a new pair. I would recommend them to anyone.

I just received them and I am already in love with them. I have them on so I can take a test ride, so far so good! My boyfriend has so many pairs so he talked me into trying out the Newport. I am glad he did! Worth the money, order them now. I wear a size 7 and they fit perfectly.I did not size up like some of the reviews mentioned. Plenty of space in the toe box.

GREAT shoe - ordered my regular 9.5 - had to reorder a 10. The back strap wouldn't slide over my heel. 10 is perfect.

I usually wear a 10 and based on reviews, I went with 10.5, and I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly! Really good support and feel. I've never had this kind of sandal before, probably because the style isn't quite 'me', but they seem very functional and super comfy.

Fantastic sandle for someone with plantar fasciitis. Love the color

I wanted so much to have last seasons "Galapagos" style. But they sold out before I was able to buy them. Love, love these. I am a lover of Keens and these are great!

I agree with the other review that says Keen has shortened its women's shoes! I usually wear a size 6.5 and a size 7 in Keens. My toe bumped the end of this shoe in a size 7, so I'm returning for a size 7.5. I'm skeptical that it will not be too large, but I'll try. I'm really annoyed that Keen discontinued a three-season Mary Jane that I loved! Now, I am having a hard time even finding one style I like and can live with by them. I've had four pairs of Keens and have to say, too, they've changed and not for the better. If this shoe doesn't work, I'm done with them...it is so disappointing when companies change so much that loyal customers have to go elsewhere.

I am very sad that Keen has seemingly shortened their Women's shoes! I have a pair of size 11s from 2 years ago and my old Newport H2s are definitely longer than the ones I ordered! They are also narrower. I LOVE these shoes. I have lived in them for years. I am so sad. I had to order men's Keen Newport H2s.

I live in AZ where it feels like you are next to the sun in the summer time. Taking that into consideration I didn't want another pair of shoes that are not well ventilated. I tried on Keens before and thought that they were a little ugly but that was many years ago and the styles have changed. I am not the most athletic and I do run into things a lot so I figured the full covered toes were the way to go. I wore these to the zoo the first day and loved them. I was able to play in the splash pad with my toddler and not worry about taking my shoes off. After the splash pad it was straight off to the other side of the zoo to play in the kid zone. My shoes dried along the way and no issues with walking while they were still wet. Super comfortable with lots of arch support. I am already looking to get another pair just so I don't wear them out super fast. I do ago between a 8.5 and a 9 but I got a 9 in these and they feel good but might be just a touch too long. It would bother me more if my toes rubbed so my next pair I might order both sizes and keep the size I like best.

I really wanted to love these shoes. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I've only worn one gem twice and got blisters on my heels both times. They're very heavy and feel uncomfortable wearing them.

i got these for my girlfriend and she loves them

I LOVE how great these Keen sandals look and feel (super comfortable), but sadly find that my feet get just too hot when wearing them!

My last pair were a 10 and fit perfectly. This time I am needing a 10 1/2. Not sure if it's the exact style as before. I could tell a half size larger should fit fine. So I reordered. Love this color.

I bought these for a trip to Disney and have been wearing them to walk to dog in order to break them in. I had to exchange for a 1/2 size bigger because the true size felt like it pinched just a little. They are extremely comfortable. I just wish they were a tad more on the feminine side in looks, but comfort will be way more important after a full day in the Magic Kingdom! They are not as cool temperature wise as I had hoped, but I don't know that you can achieve that and maximum support at the same time. I would purchase these again.

Whoa, what a fit! I tried the Venice & Venice H2 at the same time, but the comfort difference was extreme! Plus, my toes hit the front of the Venice, and a half size up would be way too long. The other 2 styles had a harder sole & not as cushy-yet supportive feel. I have wide feet, a fairly high arch and FINALLY I hit the target with these Keens, after trying a zillion other mules, slides and other "comfort" brands. The arch support is surprisingly great, which is about the first feature I look at. Years ago I had a Keen hiker that I sold on Ebay, after wearing one day, due to the firm & leg-killer insole. SO happy I tried Keens again!! My goal was to find a wear-all-day warm weather shoe that isn't wimpy or fragile - this should do it! Plus, it's wide enough (first B width that is!) without being sloppy, and my toes don't hit the front.

Very comfy shoe. Took it on vacation with me. Did great when going for long walks on a rocky beach. Easy to take on and off.

Too small and too difficult to get into.

I got this shoe/sandal for a trip to Mexico thinking I'd be on a boat, walking in water and sand at the beach, and a little walking about when getting of the boat. They work well for these things and they do dry fairly fast. They are comfortable enough and and easy to adapt to your individual foot, but stylish they aren't. This may be all in the eye of the beholder and only my opinion so take it for what it is-my opinion.
