Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

These are the most comfortable Keens yet. I have several pairs and these are wear all day comfortable!

As far as construction goes, I can't say enough good things about this shoe. It gives excellent support and does so comfortably from the minute you put it on. It hugs the foot and keeps it exactly where it should be. It offers excellent protection for the toes and the soles. My only gripe, and it was a game changer, is that this shoe was hot. One purpose in getting them was as a cooler alternative to actual hiking shoes when going on short non-strenuous walks or to use for casual wear around town. These made my feet so warm I might as well have had on my hiking socks and heavy hikers.

Very comfortable from the moment I put them on. I do a lot of walking & gardening in these and my feet never bother me. Had them for about a month now and still loving them. Definitely recommend.

This is my second pair of Keen Newport H2's. Love them! I have painful foot issues including having a bunionectomy on each foot. These shoes make all my foot problems go away! I wear them to work out, anytime I have on jeans, and when it is cold, I wear socks with them.

I'm wearing them right now! Like many other reviewers, I bought these water shoes for a vacation. Mine was to Costa Rica where I knew I'd be doing some rafting, etc. They were great! The only problem was that in the humidity of the rain forest, they never dried out, so I wouldn't exactly call them quick dry. But once we got to the beach area, where it was drier, they did fine. They have a supportive, super comfortable foot bed. But as with all Keen's, they are not very attractive or fashionable. I will continue to wear them for active excursions and for walking the dog. I usually wear a size 10 (40-41 in European sizing, depending on the cut) otherwise my toes feel pinched. I bought a size 10 and they are perfect. There is plenty of room in the toe box for my feet to spread out. I can fit a pair of black tennis socks underneath when it's cold.

I usually order my shoes in wide widths, but with these sandals, I don't have to. The medium is wide enough. I love these shoes, they're comfortable right out of the box, cool, have good support and protect my toes (or hide them, depending on what my pedicure status is). I have three pairs of Keen sandals, and if I could get away with it, I'd order a couple more in fun colors.

As Zappo says delivery was wicked fast, gotta love them. The shoe is a little hard to get on and I didn't find it good for walking very far - not enough arch support and my feet got hot. It will be great however for the main reason I got them, launching the boat. I love my Keen boots and walking shoes, great toe room!

Love, love, love! I walked all of the parks at Disney World for 8 days straight from open to close and didn't think about my feet once. It's the perfect shoe. Protection from toe stubs, cool and airy and best of all comfort without blisters and sore spots. I did buy a half size larger after reading other reviews and they fit perfectly. They would have been to small if I had ordered the 7.5 instead of the 8. Thank you Keen for a great shoe, and Zappos for great service.

My favorite pair of sandals! I bought these because I needed a pair of closed-toe sandals, so my Sarasota Keen's wouldn't do. I needed support and comfort and that is just what I got. The material around the skin is very soft and non-irritating and the footbed is just marvelous - I truly love putting these shoes on!

These are the best summer play shoes around. Comfortable. Water-friendly. Great for running and climbing. Machine-washable. What more could you ask for in a summer sandal?

3 years ago I bought this shoe for my Europe adventures and since then it has become my daily go-to shoe. Having only the 1 pair this whole time, ordering another not because it has worn out or needs to be replaced but as a backup! I never pack this shoe it's always what I wear at the airport (easy to take off). I cannot bear to loose these! This is the only shoe I ever paid this much money for and it was more than worth the investment, for a year. The best walking shoe ever, never had any problems and I have a high arches, heel and back problems. I have worn it while walking through muddy waters, bathing in lakes, hiking to and going under a waterfall in Hawaii, in the rain, in the summer this thing is unbeatable! I love the style and even wear it with my 'nice' outfits when walking is involved. I am usually a 6 Wide but the 'regular' width fits me just fine. Love this shoe and so glad I can purchase the same style/color after 3 years!

I love these shoes! Its my first pair of Keens and I just ordered a second pair. They feel great and wash well! Did follow the advise of other commenters and ordered 1/2 size larger than i ordinarily wear and that was a perfect fit.

I love Keen shoes. I found this style to run a little narrow. I have the Newport shoes and they are much wider. I love the comfort and the color!

This is my second pair of black Newport H2, and they are just awesome as the first. I could only hope that Keen will offer widths in their shoes, and boots because I would then be able to buy all their terrific shoes and boots. But only offering medium widths makes it impossible for me and people with wide feet to fit comfortably into them. Thanks and I hope this will happen soon.

The shoe is comfortable and really looks great on. My friend warned me, when I told her I was looking to buy this style of shoe, that they get very smelly and taking them off is like dropping a bomb. Unfortunately I can tell that she's correct in her assessment, despite my best efforts and the shoe manufacturer's assertion of AntiMicrobial EVA footbed inhibits foot odor and controls moisture.

Thanks for the free shipping so that I could try the sizes. The Newports fit perfect. Possibly a little wider than the Whisper which is what I needed.

These are the most comfortable and supportive sandals I've owned. I walked all day, climbed rocks - I even played 9 holes of golf in them! My feet are hard to please, and these made them happy!

It took me 2 tries to get the correct shoe size. Returning my first pair of Keen's was very easy. I ordered the Gargoyle/Green shoes and am very pleased with the color. The footbed seemed rough until my feet got used to it. These shoes will be perfect for traveling and walking my dog in the park.

I like the ruggedness of these shoes, but they rub my pinky toe. They are going back. I have the Venice H2 and like them, but I'm scared they are too short.

This is my second pair of Keens in this style. They are a wonderful product that work well in a variety of settings - beach, light hiking, outdoor gardening, water parks, etc. They protect your feet and are very comfortable. They also dry quickly. My last pair lasted for 5 years before they got lost. I find that this style is better for those with a wider foot.

The purple color is great and shoe runs true to size, good arch (not too steep but enough for me and I have high arches). I just didn't find the strap placements on the toe box to be comfortable for my little toes - my little toes just seems to hit the shoes on rough seams. Otherwise, a very attractive shoe and would definitely recommend for someone whose little toes are not as short as mine!

Keens are the best shoes ever! Wore my Keens all over Africa and Ireland. A must have if you are doing a lot of walking. Better than gym shoes because it allows ventilation.

A few years ago, I developed a painful metatarsal neuroma and was looking for a shoe that would give me the proper support I needed. The foot bed in this shoe was exactly what I needed. Even though my foot has healed, I still consider this model the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn and own three different colors in it.

I love these sandels. They are now my 3rd pair. They are so comfortable and durable!
