Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I had a heel that had some pain in it from wearing a pair of Ugg-type castoffs. The pain went on for years. (perhaps it was a spur). Anyway, these shoes were the only ones that didn't make it hurt. In fact, I believe they helped the pain to go away. Because of the great arch support, it lifted my foot off my heel just enough...I have been wearing these now for 2 years and I love them. With socks in the winter and just the shoe in the summer. I wear an 11 and that's what I bought...it was perfect. They are roomy in the toe area, which I like.

I bought these shoes for a trip we are taking to the Virgin Islands in April. I bought them ahead of time, assuming I would have to break them in. Well, they are truly a perfect fit, and very comfortable! I think the color is a little brighter in person, but it has grown on me. This is my second pair of Keens, and definitely not my last.

These are great shoes if you're looking for something with style, comfort, great arch/heal support, and versatility! I think that covers it! I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for something to wear w/o it being a sneaker. You can even use heal cups with these if needed. But I haven't found that necessary. When I wear them, my foot pain is drastically reduced, and I am able to walk w/o pain or limping! Yay! The H2O's are great if you're going to wear them for extended lengths of time (puddles, odor control, etc.). I tried them on in a shoe store for size, then ordered a pair on-line - better price and selection! I am a size 6 ~ 6.5 and wear a 6.5 in these shoes. You might want a 1/2 size larger than your regular shoe. But see if you can try them in a shoe store first! Anyway, you'll love them! And of course, Zappos has great service! I ordered a Mary Jane pair of Keens three days ago, and they were delivered the next day! Unbelievable!

You can't beat Keen's for comfort. I wore these while making documentaries in San Francisco during the summer and they saved my feet. Even after 10-12 hours on them, I still wasn't sore. Also I wore mine straight from the box, not rubbing or breaking in needed, they molded to my feet right away. Not to mention the coral color is super fun and spunky.

After pregnancy, my feet totally expanded and left me with a pretty wide toe box and narrow heel. Finding shoes that fit has been a huge problem for me. These Keen sandals are awesome! I still have lots of room in the toe box and can adjust the ankle to be snug. I usually wear a perfect 8.5 in Keens, but I sized up to a 9 in these. They're a tiny bit on the loose side, but an 8.5 would have probably been too small. I wore these on a beach vacation where I did some light hiking and they were soooo comfortable. I didn't even have to break them in. They supported my foot and the sole was firm, but cushiony. I'm not the biggest fan of how they look, but I was looking for comfort over style. I got what I was looking for!

Got these shoes for my daily workout/walk to the store as well as workout at the gym. They are fantastic! Nice arch support. Able to fit thick socks for when it's cold since they're adjustable. I can wear them with workout clothes as well as regular clothes and they look better than big, clunky running shoes or the like. Tried the Venice style too and they didn't work for me. The design of the shoe places a strap right at my arch and it was too tight and uncomfortable. Also tried different sizes since I wasn't sure which one would work with socks. Thanks to Zappos and their fantastic return policy I was able to try on all the different ones I got until I found the right one. Yay Zappos!

Lots of toe space, good support and spongy! This is my second pair of keens. I even use this pair for my 3 mile walk. I have bunions and it is hard to find really comfortable shoes. I normally take a size 9 but the 9.5 fits better. I feel light on my feet with these since they feel very supported and sturdy! When shoes fit properly, they are a good investment. I feel that these shoes fit that criterion.

Given as a Christmas Gift and my kid loves them. We will be using these specifically for Disney World when we go in May.

Keen is all over the place with size. Zappos is awesome! I feel bad having to send Keen's back, but I can never be sure of their sizing. I never wear bigger than 9.5 I even tried them on in the store just to be safe because this has been going on with Keen for some time. Order these shoes, and they are fitting like a 9, maybe 9.5. I keep trying Keen but I give up. I have ordered a ten before and then those come way too big. Keen needs some quality control. If you find these to fit, these shoes are otherwise awesome.

I absolutely love these! These were my first pair of Keen shoes. I bought them two days before a three week Asian vacation. Each day was hot (over 100°) with 100% humidity. Not my favorite kind of weather. I sized up to a 6 (5 was not available) and got the gargoyle/sap green color. I love the color, which is strange for me since most of my shoes are black. And I love the fact that I sized up as my feet were swollen the entire time. I was able to adjust the shoes to fit my swollen vacation feet and my normal feet after returning home. I wore my Keens everyday (no socks) - sightseeing, cave hiking, lots and lots of walking. My feet felt great!

Love these shoes. Heading off to the Caribbean and Brazil to put them in action. They were comfotable imediately when I out them on my feet. Light weight but durable and very sharp looking.

I don't know if I could love these shoes any more! They're fantastic! Much cuter than I even thought they'd be (I got the gray and green), and they're very comfortable. I usually wear between a 6 and 6 1/2, and from reading the other reviews I decided to get the 6 1/2. Definitely the right choice, the fit is perfect! Can't wait to wear these hiking next season. Great grip, and I love that they protect my toes. Worth every penny!

I found the service to be very quick and the product I ordered was just what I wanted. The price was also good.

I have never had a more comfortable pair of shoes. The first time I put them on, they already felt "broken in". They are definitely durable and will be great for all seasons.

These shoes felt very nice at first, but after a couple of months of wear (not too often, on week-ends) somehow the arch support doesn't feel very good. Will not buy again.

Bought theses shoes to go to Disney World; they were perfect! No rubbing, they're waterproof, and they protected my toes from people stepping on my feet.

This is a very comfortable all around shoe. I wanted something I could wear that's comfy and water proof. These are all of that and more. I put them on and forget about them! I wear size 10 and ordered size 10, and they fit great!

I love these shoes. They are my second pair. The first I've worn nearly everyday for a year, and they still look great. I have two puppies, and to be able to throw these into the wash is awesome. The open spaces give my feet ventilation. The only reason I purchased this pair was color. I have flat feet, and I'm overweight, and shoes are a hassle. The only shoes that I wear now are Keens- even my dress shoes.

About a year ago I bought a pair of Keen Targhee II hiking boots. They were my first pair of Keens. After reading the reviews, I ordered a size larger than my normal shoe size. I normally wear an 8-8 1/2. My Keen hiking boots are a 9 1/2. They fit great, absolutely love, love, love 'em. So when I recently decided to invest in a good pair of sandals that could get wet hiking through and along the Tuolumne River I knew I would buy Keens. I assumed they may be sized similar to the women's boots, but I was wrong. I ordered a 9 and 9 1/2, and both were too big. I sent those back and ordered the next two smaller sizes and kept the 8 1/2. So order the size you normally wear in most other shoes. Other than that- the heel strap doesn't seem to slip, there's plenty of arch support for me, but I guess I don't have a high arch. And the toe box is wide enough to accommodate what I like to refer to as my duck feet.

I wanted my shoes for a trip to Vegas (I got married!). The shoe is very comfortable but a little hard to get on my feet. Once they are on, ahhhhh! Excellent customer service.

This is my second pair. I wore the first pair out because they are one of my favorites. Good support. Comfortable. Good for walking in water too.

These shoes came very highly recommended to me, so I decided to buy a pair for my trip to Kauai. I was very excited to test them out. To my dismay, I took them out on a 11 mile jungle trek and was very disappointed! Within 2 miles my feet hurt incredibly bad. I finally stopped to see what the problem was, and I had 3 blisters on top of each other on the arch of my right foot. Needless to say I did not get to do much hiking for the rest of my trip due to the blister. I will definitely be going back to my closed toe Tevas for any more jungle mud hikes! Cute shoe, but would definitely not recommend for brutal hiking.

I wear these shoes everywhere when it's warm enough! They are super comfortable, waterproof, well-made, and above all, worth every penny.

I can't believe I didn't own these sooner! If you ever are active outdoors, you need a pair of Keen's. These are great shoes, with great protection and support, but summer sandal like comfort. Great for hiking in warm weather. Love them!
