Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Great shoes...comfortable the minute you put them on. They have a nice wide toe box for wider feet.

The more I wear these shoes the more I love them! I even put them on after taking a shower, they are just that comfy. I have issues with my left foot having a bunion and not on the right foot, these are great shoes with great support for my high arch. We have tile floors which are especially rough on my feet and legs, these shoes/sandals make all the difference in the world, now if I could only find other closed- toed shoes to do the same! I really need a pair of working boots.

I loved the look of this Keen sandal. I was looking for a multi-sport sandal that would protect my toes on hiking trails and provide stability on wet and dry surfaces. I have wide feet and unfortunately this sandal was just not wide enough for me, so I had to return them. I was so disappointed. I then decided to try the men's model Newport H2 which has a wider width. I usually wear an 81/2 in a women's sandal so I got a size 7 in the men's model. It is a perfect fit. I could not be happier. It is probably the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. Thanks Zappos for making returns so easy.

This has been my go to shoe for the past five years. I have mostly worn them in the fall/winter, but my plantar fascia was torn this summer and this is the only shoe my orthopedist recommends until I heal. Therefore, it has also been my summer shoe. I have a narrow foot and heel, but the cinch strap makes it easy to adjust. I have black, beet red, slate black/canton, mineral blue/vapor and coral that seems to be just a summer color. I wear them with everything, even to church because of my foot issue. They are not terribly feminine and not dressy at all, but I am just thankful to be able to walk without pain! I have gotten lots of compliments on the cannon/slate black. Strangely, Keens' quality control does not seem to be as exact as in previous years. I had to exchange several pairs of the same size until I found the best fit. I do have one foot slightly larger than the other. As always, Zappos' customer service is excellent!

This would have been my third pair of the Newports and I still highly recommend them. Unfortunately they felt at least a half size too small and they looked smaller than my current pair. Too bad because Keens (and I've had several other styles) have always been very reliable.

These are fantastic sandals! This is my third pair of Keens. Every time I go to buy a new pair of comfortable, functional shoes I try on every brand in the store and land on Keen. I hiked in the boundary waters of Minnesota for a week over burned, fallen trees; through muck, mud, and water; portaging a canoe, and then went to New Zealand and hiked the cliffs along the coast in these sandals and they never let me down! As for the reviewer who said her feet never change - not true. Everyone's feet change as they age - unless, of course, the reviewer has discovered the fountain of youth - then please share!

Keens are the best. They fit great and are my second pair. I ordered them on Thursday afternoon and they were delivered on Friday by 3, just as promised. I have used Zappos several times and have never been disappointed. I have foot problems and my podiatrist said that these are the best shoes for your feet as they give great support.

I bought these to wear strictly in our house d/t the tile floors being so hard. These shoes do offer a temporary relief. But last night While cooking supper my feet were aching a lot! Luckily it goes away once seated. I might need a half size larger. I love the look, they are very well made, I just have feet problems.

I really wanted to keep these as they would have been perfect for my trip to Guatemala. But the back strap was just too short for my foot and I have small feet. It made my big toe nail rub against the front of the shoe. Getting a larger size would not have worked.

Perfect. Had trouble with keens in the past because I have a narrow foot and they often run wide but these do the trick. Super Comfortable footbed (I also have plantar fasciitis) and great in the water. Good traction. Ordered a half size down per other recommendations and at first felt perhaps a bit too small as toes touched, but that went away after one wearing in the water.

These are exactly what I was looking for! I originally ordered the Whisper, but my baby toes got caught in the openings. I wore these right out of the box and did some light hiking with them on and not on a flat surface. Love the color combination, grey and coral.

Wanted a rugged shoe more than a sandal but less than a boot that worked on uneven terrain with rocks and tree roots, and able to get wet. These were perfect!

I did something crazy - I went on a week long trip to Southeast Asia and took only this one pair of shoes. And I had never worn them before! It could have been a disaster but it turns out they are the perfect shoe for hiking around in the hot, humid jungles and rice paddies. I ordered the Venice H2 and the Whisper at the same time and the Newport H2s were the clear winner the minute I put them on. The others got returned. There is plenty of cushioning, good width, room in the toe bed. I ordered in my usual athletic shoe size (about half a size larger than my regular shoes). They are certainly not the most attractive shoes, but they are great for adventure travel!

What I think: I think that Keen should consider carefully all of the ladies out here who wear a size 12 shoe...and make them! In my circle of friends, there are several...so I am not the only one!

Shoe felt small, had to exchange for larger size. Color was called Slate Black but in reality it was brown. Exchanged for a true black color although it is two tone.

I'm on the fence regarding these shoes. They're comfy, although I'm feeling a rub on the top of my toes. My biggest complaint, though, is that the man-made sole is very hot. I've only worn these around the house so far, but may be returning them.

I am a very light framed male. Some of my earliest memories are of Mom and me searching for shoes that fit me. In my desperation for a good fit I have ventured into women's size sporting and recreational footwear. This excursion has not proven satisfactory. This pair of Newport H2 are just too snug hence sweaty. Hope this may help others of the Y persuasion. I also found them somewhat clunky for causal kicking around. Back they go.

True to size, excellent fit right out of the box! I have several Keen shoes this by far is the best style for what I am looking for.

LOVE these. They arrived so quickly, I put them right on and... don't want to take them off. I was looking for an alternative to flip flops and skimpy sandals - THESE ARE THE BEST.

Love the style and arch support that the Newport provides. This is my second pair! Was wanting another all black pair, but they no longer had those in women's, so got these. Please note- these are not black and gray, as I had thought, but dark and light gray. Really happy with them even thought the color is not what I was thinking. I have plantar fasciitis and very high arches. If you need superior arch support, these are fabulous!

I love the Newport H2! I got them to replace my old worn out Whispers. The Newport H2 is more supportive and comfortable. I've only worn them for 3 days and they are completely broke in. Please keep this style so I can easily replace them when this pair is shot.

I have a pair of Keen Whisper sandals that I love and when I saw this color ordered it without noticing that it was a different model. Newports are much heavier than the Whisper and crowd my little toes. I returned them.

Overall I love these Keens. I am full-time nomad and travel with just these and a pair of flip flops so they take a heavy beating. I wear them every day, often walk 5+ miles in a day, and am typically carrying my 30 lb. backpack. I have worn them on several long hikes and though I have gotten the occasional blister, the blisters never actually hurt when I'm in the shoes so it doesn't wind up mattering. My only complaint is that the woven tabs (I believe this is the correct name for the part I'm talking about) on the instep have torn up in less than 6 months on the last 2 pairs I've purchased. I realize I am really hard on these shoes, but still...I know people who have worn their older Keen sandals just as hard and still they lasted for years. So I don't know if this is a design flaw specific to the Newports or what, but I'm thinking about switching to the leather Venice style to see if it doesn't hold up better.

Thought the shoes ugly, but they look better on. Haven't used in the water yet but I'm impressed with construction of shoe.

Bought these to replace an old pair of Keens.. much lighter weight than the previous pair, but the colors are better. Fit perfectly right out of the box. Good for town walking, shorter hikes, and also look cute with sundresses.
