Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

Great sandals -- comfortable right out of the box. I needed something I can wear on slippery wet surfaces and these are perfect.

Great fit, comfortable, however after wearing them for the week in CO in the water I felt they stretched a bit. Not so much they don't fit now, just a bit loose.

I have several Keen shoes and these are my favorite. Wear them every day. The color goes with everything and I have received several compliments. I have trouble feet and these have worked out great!

I have problem feet but need to be up on them and walking frequently for my job. Keens are my favorite shoe brand. I love these sandals because of the vibrant color. My feet are a bit wide so Keens fit nicely but the Newport runs a tad large so I recommend ordering a half size bigger than usual.

These shoes are the best! Comfortable and easy, with or without sox. I've walked miles in them and they were as good as my walking shoes. You won't be disappointed.

Great shoe - ordered for my trip to Costa Rica - great traction in the forest; also comfy for touring local towns.

These are great shoes! Hiked Bryce Canyon with these guys on and they were sturdy and secure on the rocks. I love that they can be machine washed! Terrific fit for my narrow feet, long wearing.

Happy feet! Love these shoes! After reading reviews I did order one half size up and the fit is perfect! I have to have arch support and these Keens give it to me! Walked all over: Brooklyn in them in June, New Orleans for early July and taking them for a spin in Portland OR in August.

Love these shoes. Lots of support for those of us with foot problems (have had plantar fasciitis). I tried the Keen Whisper as well and didn't find them as supportive.

Hello Happiness. I have these in 3 different colors. They are amazing. True to size with great arch support. I have a narrow foot, but by evening, tend to swell. You can adjust the tightness all day long. Easy on and off at airport security! Sometimes I even wear them with fun socks. Also, Keens provide traction and are waterproof. They look "now," and can go with any type of dress. Go for it!

I was looking for a sneaker for the summer (I wanted something to free me of wearing socks) and these fit the bill perfectly. They are lightweight, comfortable, and my feet can breathe. I also like that they have good traction on wet grass (especially on hills) and that these shoes are sturdy and protect my feet allowing me to do yard work and walk through the woods out back without any problems (besides dirt, I've never had a problem with getting stones or debris stuck inside the shoe like with closed sneakers). I first ordered the Keen Whisper since they appeared to be more airy looking. However, no matter what size I ordered, my pinky toes would pop out through the openings on the sides (with the Newport H2 I don't have that problem and I can wear my regular size 8). I love these shoes!

Love this KEEN shoe. It has great support, great fit and never needs breaking in. This is my 3rd pair. Not all KEENS fit well...some are too wide for my foot. This is perfect for wet & dry conditions.

I bought pairs of these for the last 2 years, but this year, the same size was way tight, but the length was perfect. Not sure if an anomaly or if they changed it (I'm hoping my pair was a dud and I can continue to get my regular size). At same time I ordered a Keen Venice, and that was actually roomy, but was able to cinch down as it is more adjustable in fit a tiny bit. The grey Newport is darker than photo and more of a charcoal color. Very nice neutral color combo. If it fit I would have kept it, but since leaving on vacation no time to go back and forth. I had bought a Whisper to take on trip, but turns out, while the upper is extremely wonderful, the foot bed is less supportive than the bulkier Newport and Venice. So while I like the looks and upper feel of the Whisper, I quickly ordered the Newport and Venice which are much better for lots of walking -- more cushion and better arches. Whisper has the better colors this year, whereas last year's colors for Newport and Venice were more appealing. Keen needs to do more light neutrals (taupe!) for those of us who use these for summer city travels, as that would go with city clothes better, than say bright blue sandals... Keens are the best.

These are definitely the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I didn't want to take them off after I tried them on. My feet actually feel more comfortable in these show than they do barefoot on plush carpet! Based on the advice Customer Service gave another reviewer, I ordered 1/2 size up. Excellent advice - thank you for sharing!

These shoes fit perfect and were super comfortable right out of the box. Zappos is unbelievable - I placed my order at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon and my shoes were delivered FREE by 3:00 PM on Friday.

Really liked the overall fit and comfort of this Keen. I was pleasantly surprised that it fit my lower-volume 7.5 M foot and narrow heels so well and was so adjustable. I am returning it because it was a very WARM sandal without even walking about in it much except for a bit in my cool finished basement area. Thanks to Zappos wonderful customer service and amazing inventory, am trying another style of Keen sandals that appear to have more openings and may be cooler.

I bought these sandals two years ago for a trip to Taiwan. They were my first Keens. I have always been very happy with them. But last fall, I broke several bones in my foot. These shoes are the best I've found for walking since I broke my foot. I've used nothing but the best walking shoes since the injury. The New Balance best walkers (I forget the number) are excellent. But these Keen sandals really keep the pain away. The arch support and something about the way the footbed works really keeps the ache away. I've reviewed these before, but I just want to add this. If you have a weak or damaged area in the ball of your foot, give these a try. I plan to buy at least one more pair, even though the ones I hae are still in great shape. They may be just what you need.

I can't even comment on what size I ordered b/c I ordered this one or something close to it 3 years ago and the tag has worn off... However, I have worn these EVERYWHERE. We live and travel Europe and Northern Africa. Went to 5 Baltic countries with a side trip into Moscow and traveled only with a backpack each, and these were the only shoes I wore. Didn't matter whether it was blazing hot or raining, I never felt like I would lose my footing. Not necessarily the prettiest thing with a skirt, but works well with shorts or capris which is what I live in most summer days. I wear them for working in the garden as the hose right off and dry quickly or on a bike ride b/c my foot won't slide off the pedal due to the grip and if it happens due to a bump, I have great traction. I was at a ropes course and couldn't participate so a friend asked if she could borrow them, and she was AMAZED by how comfortable and easy they were. Best shoe I've owned. When and if these wear out I will buy another pair of Keen's with no regret.

I couldn't get the shoe on. I have a very high arch and instep, and consequently could not slide my foot in without the ability to pull the back strap over my heel. The back strap had no give at all and was short of the back of the shoe, making it impossible for me to pull the strap over my heel. I have arthritis in my hands, making a tough pull impossible. Definitely not an easy on and off. Fortunately, Zappos exchange made it so easy.

Great shoe. Needed to order a full size larger than normal size. Do wish the back had a Velcro strap to make getting the shoe on and off easier.

I LOVE these shoes! After searching for years to try to solve my problems: very high arches, wide feet with narrow heels, metatarsalgia, and recent surgery for tailor's bunions, this Princess And The Pea nitpicker has finally found the perfect walking shoe. (I had to glue in some additional arch supports, but only because even the foot doctors were impressed with my arches.) These shoes are like little tiger paws: just the right amount of support, cushioning, and protection. And they are light in weight.

Love, love, love! I ordered a half size larger and it fit great! I am able to tighten the laces enough to accommodate my narrower foot. I was developing a sharp pain on the top of my foot with sneakers and other "comfort" sandals. The Keene soles took my pain away immediately! So very pleased and am shopping for my next pair.

These sandals are wonderful. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I've gotten lots of compliments on them as well. Great color.

I ordered half size up as everyone on the site pretty much said it was the thing to do and I wish I hadn't done that as it is about a half size too large and a bit wider than I'd like. YET ... it still fits me ok and I can wear it. I am pleased with the shoe as it helped my pain in legs and feet immediately. I wont send them back but next time will order my regular size if I order this style of keen again. maybe the cheaper versions are running smaller but this pair with no discount must be true to size. ps all my friends LOVE the color of my keens, they are all Keen wearers themselves.

I have been searching for a walking sandal that were supportive for high arches, and after a friend raved to me about how comfortable and supportive her Keen sandals were, I decided to try them. I called Keen and asked them about their sandals as to support. The representative did tell me that Keens are not designed to control pronation or be extra supportive for arches, but she recommended the Newport H2 as the most supportive. So, I decided to try it; but no joy. The sandal felt both too large and too wide. And, almost no arch support. Definitely not designed for high arches. I have had to return them.
