Customer Reviews KEEN Deleted

Keen Newport H2 - Comfortable shoes, although tight across the top. Too hot for humid Virginia summers but should be ok in the fall and spring.

Good summer shoe - After buying the Keen Venice and Vancouver, I decided to try something new. This is a good shoe, but it's not as comfortable as the Venice which is another sandal style. The style of the Newport is a little more confining and less breathable, but it's still a good shoe. Fits on the small side, but I have a very small foot, so that's ok for me. Others might want to size up.

Keen Newport H2 - Ordering a half size larger was good advice - fit well. Very comfortable. Actually seem less wide than the Venice H2, though I did not think so at first. Great for an everyday sandal.

A really versatile shoe - When I first got these Newports, I wasn't so sure; the toe-box seemed annoying, they seemed hard to get on. But the more I wear them now, the more I like them. The harder you treat them, the better they fit. I've never experienced this before. They're great in water -- really good traction, and they stay on securely even when the water bottom is muck -- and they're great on land. They're my favorite shoes to drive in. Drawbacks: they're ugly. The toe-box is hot, so there's this weird thing where most of your foot is cool because they're sandals, but the thick black rubber toe-box keeps your toes sweaty. It protects the toes very well, which is a major plus. Oddly, the hot toe-box has a silver lining: I can wear these in much cooler weather than other sandals. I can wear them right through from a cool Michigan morning in the 50s to a cool Michigan evening, in and out of the water. Another plus: if a little piece of stone or gunk gets in under your foot, it just kind of disappears as I walk. It must work its way out of the shoe somehow. I have other sandals that are much flatter and more open, and if I get some piece of grit or something I have to shake it out of the sandal, but usually not with these. Oh, yeah, one further drawback: the little loops that they put on to help you pull these on are very nice, but only if your fingers are as skinny as pencils. I've never understood why shoe companies put these little assist loops on, and then make them so small only a three-year-old can get her fingers through them! Very pleased -- even at Keen prices.

Super, but smelly - I love the shoe! They're very comfy & have great cushion. I am a swim coach and pound the pool deck - needed them for water, comfort & cushion on the pavement. Great on all those accounts, however I am having a problem with them smelling! My feet typically sweat, I haven't noticed them sweating with my Keens being open & around the water, but they smell awful! I have had them 3 weeks & I think it’s the foam in the upper (under the canvas straps) that absorb everything and I assume that is what is causing the odor. So if your feet sweat beware - other than that they're great!

Had to order a 1/2 size larger. Not as cool as a sandal should be on a warm day. The look is goofy, but fine.

Love my Keen's - Bought these in bright orange. So much fun! Comfy and sporty. They look nice with skirts, really!

Wide-feeted people beware! These are cute as a button, but if you have wide-ish feet and/or high arches, I would recommend going up a full size, not just 1/2.

Weird... I wear my regular size in this model. It's so strange. I have Keens in three different sizes- my regular size, a half size up, and a half size DOWN, which is weirdest of all. I have wide feet and short toes, and I love this comfortable shoe. I got it in purple, thinking I'd prefer the black, but I didn't. The purple is funky!

2nd pair, neither true to size - This is my second pair of Keens from Zappos. I gave the first pair away to my daughter...way too tight. The 2nd pair was also too tight...and after having tried to wear them to stretch them out, they are not returnable. I have a total of 4 Keens, 2 from Zappos and two from my neighborhood store. The ones bought locally SAME EXACT SIZE fit correctly. The ones from Zappos must be mismarked.

Try a different style if you have a high instep - I really wanted a pair of Newports, but I have a high instep and could not get this shoe on my foot. I even tried a full size larger, but no luck. The straps stretch a bit, but not a large amount. I ended up with a pair of the Keen Venice H2, which are comfortable, and more suited to a high instep.

Stay on comfort! Size up 1/2 size. Shoes stay snugly on your feet and are very comfortable from day one. A little difficult to slip on and off.

Keens are the Best! I've never found anything soooo comfortable! I didn't have to break into them as I do most shoes. I can walk as long as I want to in them without my feet hurting me. The only small problem I have is getting into them. They feel like they fit perfect, but it's just a little difficult to pull the strap up behind my ankle. I would probably get a 1/2 size larger next time. I never walked in anything so comfortable over a rocky beach, and rocky river bottom! I want to get a pair of every color there is!

Multifunctional sport sandal. Versatile shoe that can be slipped on like a sandal but gives the support for walking and foot protection for outdoor adventures like a sneaker. My only concern is the lack of give in the back that may cause blisters on the back of the heel with prolonged walking. So far it is comfortable (haven't used it all that much) but may be improved by ability to adjust width fit as well as the length and possible more cushioning and elasticity in the posterior support.

Nearly perfect shoe. I own a different styled pair of Keens that are incredibly comfortable, and I'd rate those as the absolute perfect shoe. For some reason, this pair's nylon webbing (inside the suede) is much stiffer than I expected and it rubs my pinky toe each time I wear them. I've been putting a band aid on my pinky toes while wearing them, and that has helped, and now they are starting to stretch out and not rub so much. I don't have wide feet, either - just average. But everything else about this shoe is awesome - it's like wearing breathable sneakers!

Great day in water park and looking forward to sailing - I bought these after having knee pain from wearing old Teva-type action sandals to amusement parks w/my kids. I wore these for two solid days of Busch Gardens/Water Country USA and they were very comfortable and no pain. Plan to wear sailing this weekend. Great support, great in and out of water. They do look big on your foot, and there is a bump inside to get used to (by toes). Also, order a 1/2 size up as many have suggested.

Awesome shoe - I love this shoe and will probably order another pair - for me they are great as I spend a lot of time outside and near the water. I did feel they ran a little small so will probably order one size larger next time. Definitely love them and my kids each have a pair as well.

Great cushioning and funky looks - I love the look of these shoes and they offer great support. My size experience was a bit different from others who posted here, though--I usually wear a 9 in a closed shoe and an 8 1/2 or a 9 in a sandal; these fit fine in a 9. I only gave four stars instead of five for comfort because they are a bit hot for a sandal--the synthetic soles make the bottoms of my feet sweaty, and they cover more of my foot than other sandals. On the other hand, I love that I can wear these kayaking!

Nice, but order up a half or full size - These are comfortable sandals, and as other people said, order up a half or full size. Mine fit nicely first thing in the morning, but if I take them off in the afternoon and go to put them back on, it's a bit of a struggle.

Cool-but a bit hot! These shoes are extremely comfortable and cool looking. The downside is they are a bit hot in warm weather! I know this seems strange since they are so "open," but my feet never sweat, and they felt a bit clammy in these (perhaps because they are mostly rubber). A bit tough to pull on at first, but this wouldn't stop me from purchasing... Good for around town. For serious hiking they could become annoying––sticks, rocks, dirt, etc. can easily find their way into the shoe.

Keen Newport H2 - These shoes are exactly what I need for my everyday life of driving kids all over the place and for spending countless hours at sports fields. The colors are great and the shoe is as comfy as a sneaker, but way better looking. Zappos is the best. I have ordered several shoes from Zappos and they are at my doorstep 2 days later!! Bravo.

Great all around shoe - My husband and I really like Keen shoes! Great for hiking, camping, rafting, etc... This pair was a lot narrower and smaller than my other Keen shoes. I had to return and order a full size larger. I recommend all Keen shoes, just be sure of the fit when ordering.

Sandals - At first glance I loved the way they looked off of my feet. However, when I put them on I felt like a duck. It took me awhile to get used to them as they felt wide and I didn't like the way the string stuck straight up. I wore them the first day and tucked the string under the laces. I really liked the way they felt and got used to the look. They are becoming popular in our area and really look cute on the kids. Overall, I like my new sandals, especially the fun color!

Too small, but really like them!!! I really love these sandals, but they are too small and I always wear a 10. I also found them to be too bright purple, whereas online they looked deeper. So, I'm trading in for black in a larger size. I can't wait to get them. I think they'll be very comfortable in the right size.

Keen H2- Love the shoe but it was a bit low in the instep for me. I ended up cutting the elastics and they fit much better. They still look good. I tried the new Venice H2 but had the same problem with the instep. It hurt across the top of my foot and I felt like my foot was being pushed forward. Cutting the elastic on the Newports eliminated this problem. I still have the Newports but returned the Venice H2. I have the St. Barts which had ample room over the instep. I had to order a half size down on the St. Barts. Size 7 1/2 on Newport and Venice, size 7 on St. Barts. This size discrepancy prove to me that you really have to try on Keens. Different models different cuts and foot beds. I've sold a lot of friends on this brand though. Very comfortable when they fit well!
