Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Terrific - First all, Zappos is amazing!! I ordered this shoe fairly late in the afternoon and received it the next morning. The shoe is perfect. As always this style is a little difficult to first put on, but it gets easier. Love everything about it, especially the color (purple). This is my second pair and I would definitely recommend it. I have several foot problems, and these work great. Thanks again Zappos.

Perfect For Any Activity - Just what I needed for vacation to Granada and the Windjammer Cruise. This shoe is great as a boat shoe, climbing rough terrain or walking on the beach. I liked the fact that my toes are protected, the soles offer great skid proof while walking on slippery areas, and the sturdy construction will last many vacations. I truly love the purple mango shade, it coordinates with everything. I read many comments on this shoe and decided I would need to purchase a half size larger than I wear. This was the right thing for me.

Instant comfort, but not for walking in sandy areas - I love my Keens. They were comfortable right out of the box. I can hike and even run in them. I have to agree with others, though -- they do run small. I normally wear an 8 and 8.5 fit me perfectly with no room to spare for my thin and slightly narrow feet. One note of caution: they are not well suited for sandy terrain or beaches. Sand WILL get into your shoe and will not come out, no matter how hard you shake your foot or try to rinse. My husband and I learned this the hard way when we wore these while hiking beaches and sandy trails. He ended up getting the skin rubbed off his feet because the sand would not come out of his shoe. These are better left for hard-packed trails.

I got these for a trip to Costa Rica to have waterproof shoes. They were so comfortable! I didn't have to break them in at all. I wore these hiking, at the beach and on the street. Perfect! They do get a little hot after a long day in the tropics but other than that they were great.

Super shoe, but runs really really small - Keens are a really odd fitting line of shoes. I have wanted a pair for a while, but was unable to find a style that fit until the New Newport H2. However, the style runs really small and I had to size up 1 1/2 sizes. The shoe is really comfy, but the only negative thing is that they make my feet really really sweaty.

Great shoe! This is one of my all time favorite shoes! The side straps allow air to circulate, but also keep your feet secure. I have worn these hiking in Belize and Mexico and never had a problem. I also like that they are waterproof. They stay clean and continue to look new. The adjustable cord is great for getting a perfect fit for my wide, flat feet.

The Sandal for Plantar Fasciitis - The size feels slightly smaller than marked, but I ordered 1/2 size larger. Arch support is A+. Machine washable. I have two pairs and hope that Keen continues to make them in the future. It is not often that I find a shoe that is as comfortable.

Finally, the sport shoe I've been looking for! I love these shoes. I have been looking for primarily a water/beach shoe, but these are not only great for that, but they are also a walking/hiking shoe. Mine are the bright turquoise color and they are super cute. Worth the $$! I followed other reviewers advice and purchased them a 1/2 size bigger and they are perfect.

Keen Newport H2 - My Newport H2 sandals were waiting for me when I got home from teaching today...I ordered them last night!! Your customer service is absolutely awesome! I tried my Newport H2's on and they fit perfectly---the true test will be my trip to Riviera Maya with some colleagues in May. If they are like my other Keen sandals, I should have happy feet the whole time I am there! Thank you Zappos for your wonderful service!

Plantar fascia problems - I have plantar fascia on my right foot. I have tried all sorts of shoes lately with no success. I bought these and have been delighted with the fit and support. They are comfortable and in my opinion, good looking. I am now shopping for other Keen shoes. Do buy a half a size larger. I took the advice of the prior owners and purchased a half a size larger and they fit. Also, Zappos has been wonderful with delivery.

Comfy! These are very comfortable and I would think others would find these great for walking shoes. The foam footbed makes them comfortable. I have flat feet, and the arch is padded, although I am not sure if someone with a high arch may not find them having the same feeling I did wearing them. I would recommend these to everyone. I wear a 9.5-10 so I did purchase a 10 because some people did find them to run small, and I would say it is a perfect fit. The color also makes me very happy! : )

KEEN Newport H2 - Good support. Look is a funky beach type - you wouldn't wear them to work - but maybe out after work. Needed one half size larger. Haven't worn them much yet - a bit too cold here.

My favorite shoes! I bought a pair of these about a year ago and absolutely fell in love with them I can NEVER be without a pair of them again, so I just bought two more pairs!!!

MY FAVORITE SUMMER SHOE - I love this shoe! I have walked through Central Park, over rocks, on cement, through mud, water and sand...absolutely the most comfortable shoe for extensive walking.

Walked 40 miles in these! I did the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (39.9 miles) in these shoes and was one of the only people whose feet did not suffer from hot spots or blisters. You cannot find a more comfortable, better equipped shoe. Love the Keen!

Emerald Color Brilliant! I find the Newport H2 the most solidly supportive comfortable shoe in Keens and have 16 pair; partner has 21! Keens are the only shoe we want to wear. Versatile. Amazing colors. Had to post that the new spring 2007 EMERALD color is stunningly gorgeous. Dazzling. The Emerald is like a bright teal with just a little more green shading than turquoise. Unique & beautiful. Lynn also bought the new fuchsia which is more a neon pink orange coral than any shade of purple. Outstanding! These shoes definitely support the feet and attract attention. Putting outfits together with all these wild colors is a lot of fun!

Awesome - I took other people's advice and ordered a half size larger than I normally wear - they fit perfectly! Awesome adventure-girl shoe, very cute, very comfy and secure. Now I want them in all the colors! Looking forward to taking them in the water since they are made of anti-microbial material - well worth the money!

They're GREAT! I've wanted these shoes for some time now and the Zappos price is the best for this color/style. I normally wear an 8.5 but in these I needed a 9.5...great comfort and style.

I love this shoe - They are so comfortable and practical. I get a lot of compliments on the color, as well. Sometimes, however, my pinky toe feels a little cramped.

Great shoes! These shoes are perfect for the outdoors! Since getting them, I've worn them everything I've taken my dog hiking. They're comfy and have held up great. I am now able to get in the water and not worry about it! They've even survived the washing machine!

I love the fit and look -- also love that I can just hose them down or toss in the washer. HOWEVER, they make my feet sweat like I can't believe and they make my feet STINK. Luckily the stinkiness isn't noticeable until the shoes comes off, but then...watch out!

Great shoe - I think they are great - my only complaint is that they can be a bit warm on the souls of my feet, but that could be because I live in Tucson. But I am very glad I have them. I did have to go up 1/2 size. Now they fit perfectly.

I LOVE MY KEENS! I have 3 pair of H2 Keens. They are the most comfortable footwear I have ever had. They are so unique. People are always asking me what brand they are and where they can get them. They outlast sneakers by far. They have good support, keep feet cool, and are really neat for a 67 year old lady to wear! I wear them with socks too because it looks and feels even better to me that way! What else can I say! I LOVE MY KEENS!

Keen H2's - I love these sandals. My feet are numb so I need a shoe with a "back". I think they may be a little narrower than a medium because I can feel that I’m standing on "ridges" but it's not a big issue since I don't feel much. I love the bright colors too. I have 5 pairs. These and my running shoes are all I wear.
