Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I LOVE these shoes! I have a pair of Keen Newport H2 that I have had for about 5 years. I have loved them, but was tired of the color. :) They are still in great condition after all of these years. They are the best summer shoes for walking/light hiking, so comfortable. They are my go-to shoes for Hawaii vacations. I ordered the neutral grey/purple sage this time, and I love the color! True to size for me. Everyone needs a pair of Keens!

These sandals are very comfortable. I have all kinds of problems with my feet and these are the only brand I can wear all day without my feet killing me at the end of the day!

I bought a pair of these shoes eight years ago. At the time, I thought they were expensive. I didn't expect them to last this long. The top of the shoe still looks brand new. I throw them in the washer every now and then, and let them air-dry. I find mine get stinky! The bottom (outside edge of the heels) is beginning to show some wear from being used almost every day. I wear them most often to walk the dog, but they have been to the beach, the river, camping, road trips, as "comfortable" shoes to take a break from dress shoes, hiking boots, ski boots, etc. I have probably walked hundreds of miles in them--I find them very comfortable. Since I have tried them everywhere, the only "negative" is that sometimes small pieces of gravel can get caught between my foot and the shoe and I have to stop and shake it out. Cost averaged out to less than $15/year, so I think I will treat myself to a new pair. Love these shoes!

I had foot surgery awhile ago and can no longer wear flip flops or most other sandals. I was pretty much limited to running shoes. These keeps have enough support that I can wear them all day and eve walk a couple of miles in them. They look great and, eve in purple, are fine with most of my casual work clothes. One downside, though. They get very clammy and hot after a few hours wearing them. I fill them up with foot powder and that helps for awhile. Guess that comes from being waterproof.

I ordered Tuesday afternoon, had the next day! Wow. Put them on and took a 3 mile walk...very comfortable wanted to try out the support, I'm on a rowing team, we row 3 times a week, also work with our local rescue squad, feet get wet, but wanted the protection the thick toe seemed to have. I ordered the navy blue, I do love bright colors, but thought this color would not show dirt as much! I think this was a good choice, a bit pricier then what I would typically pay for a water shoe.

These are great summer shoes. I've been wearing them for a couple weeks and nothing rubs or pinches. They're really comfortable. I have achilles tendonitis in both ankles plus plantar fasciitis and arthritis in both feet. I need a supportive sandal to wear instead of Fitflops all summer. The sizing is true both length and width.

I love these shoes - my feet are wide...and happy in these. Needed a little breaking in the first time I wore them but that's to be expected of new shoes and, considering I wore them all day, I can't really complain! Wore them to work (I do field work for the Federal Government) and can't wait to use them on the river!

I purchased a pair of these a year ago, and I'm here today to look for another pair just to have a different color. Not that I really need them, the pair I bought a year ago and wear nearly every day are still in like-new shape! Not only do I wear these shoes to work every day (I live in Texas so our winter lasts maybe a month) I also wore them on a two week vacation to the Grand Canyon and Zion, where I wore them to hike The Narrows trail in the Virgin River. They held up fine, and continue to look and feel fantastic! The best thing about these sandals are the amazing arch support. I have extremely flat feet, and need superior arch support or my legs will ache after a couple of hours. No leg pain with these shoes! I really can't find anything bad to say about them, other than maybe they could add some more colors. I love them!

These shoes are amazing! I recently had a talonavicular fusion and was looking for a summer shoe with good arch support. The Newport H2 is exactly what I was looking for! I plan to purchase a second pair soon!

Love! Got in 1/2 size up, fits perfect. Well made -- "built to last" -- no doubt! Highly recommend. I found a shoe that I will be wearing and buying again for years to come as long as they keep making 'em!

I love these shoes. I have been looking for something that I can walk a mile or more in the summer other than walking shoes with socks. These were comfortable from the first time I wore them. Actually walked a couple of miles over varied terrain the first time. Love the shoes and Zappos great service.

The best sandals around. I have the men's and they run true to size. My wife bought the women's, and needed to step up a full size than her other shoes...

I have worn orthodics for a number of years. Because I like the Keen styles, I have tried several years to find a good fit but was unable to find a style with enough arch support. These are perfect. I like the closed toe, the open sides, and the good support.

There is nothing on earth as comfortable as these Newport H2 Sandals! I had the same pair in lime green for 8 years and my husband remarked how ratty looking they were. What? Yeah, well when you've been worn swimming a muddy river, fishing, walking, mountain climbing, and gardening for all those years, you'd look awfully ratty too. So I bought a new pair. Somewhere along the line, Keen changed the sizes on me. The originals were a 7, my regular shoe size, but the new pair was too small in a 7! But I returned for a 7.5, thank you Zappos, and they fit perfectly. I got the grey with lime green trim, and they are neutral enough they go with anything I might wear - great with shorts and great with jeans. And I do wear them summer and winter, sockless, in Texas, to walk in. What about the old ones? They are still serviceable but, being rather ratty, are relegated to gardening in the backyard only. No more public appearances. Beyond the size issue (consider buying up half a size from your normal shoe size), these shoes have terrific arch support and foot ergonomics. They truly make my aching back feel better. I can wear them all day walking or hiking and my feet are as happy at the end of the day as they were at the beginning. Even after getting wet, they are comfortable and they dry very quickly.

I love these shoes! I'm kind of lazy, and sometimes just slip them on without securing the back strap. It hasn't broken or torn, they are very sturdy and feel like sneakers.

Ok, confession time... I have had a pair of Keen Newport sandals for two years. I have tried every kind of water shoe imaginable and they all gave me blisters. I have been using my keens for Water Aerobics for two years! I have hiked and walked in them and turned around popped them in the washer and wore them to Water Aerobics the next day! I take Boot Camp Water Aerobics with weights. The shoes give me great stability and keep my feet from getting torn up on the bottom of the pool. These shoes are worth every nickle!

Im pretty sure I've had a "shoe curse" my whole life. Inevitably, many of the shoes or sandals I "thought" were comfortable ended up bring horrible to wear in one way or another after awhile. I just had to give it time and. plenty of walking for my feet to kill me eventually. Well, I think I finally have hope that "shoe curse" has lifted. These Keens rock in every way, to my very particular feet. Right out of the box perfectly comfortable. I am able to wear them at work, and after 8 hours on my feet I actually feel MORE energized after work now due to my comfy feet. That's a huge thing to me that I'm not dying to take off my shoes after work or immediately have to sit down and rub my aching feet. I even left them on today after an 8 + hour shift, and cooked and cleaned in them almost forgetting i had them on. Wild, so cute too. I get compliments on them a lot.

LOVE these shoes. Actually this is my 3rd pair (different colors of course). My feet "thank you" for these shoes. :-)

I usually need orthotics, but wore these Keens pretty much nonstop for 3 weeks traveling in Europe. And my feet feel great. I love the happy, coral color -- more neutral than I expected, too. And you can't beat Zappos' service. They told me to order a half size up, and I'm glad I took the advice, as the shoes fit perfectly.

These sandals are awesome. I've had Keens before so I knew what size to get. I love the bright colors. Warning -- if you have not bought Keens before, get at least half a size larger than you normally would.

Incredible sandal. Bought new pair for trip to Hawaii. They were perfect...no break in time. Help from staff for size was great.

I am a rowing coach and bought this shoe to wear to practice. It is perfect for that use. Very comfortable and water-friendly. It felt a whole size smaller than what I wear in dress shoes. Also, the color is lighter than how it looks on line. I can also see that your foot may get sweaty on the rubber bottom.

I really want a pair of sneaker sandals for days where I spend hours on my feet; however, I have not been able to find a pair that is comfortable for the long haul. I felt like these would have provided all day comfort and support, but they were just too hot. I have a weird thing that I cannot stand my feet to be at all sweaty, so I spend a lot of time in wicking socks or open sandals. I can't (won't) wear socks with these shoes and there just isn't enough ventilation to go barefoot.

Love these shoes. Comfortable from the very first day. Light weight, fast drying and good looking. Nothing like Keens!
