Keen Newport H2 - Well made and comfortable but felt 1/2 size smaller than marked. I like them for long walks and work-much more comfortable than regular hard soled sandals .

Keen Newport H2 - Great sandal, very comfortable once you get used to it. It felt a bit smaller than the size it is.

Yes it is worth the money - I LOVE this shoe, it is funtional as a water shoe, a camping shoe, and stylish enough as a city shoe. A sandal I can ride my bike in and not squash my toes or worry that it will get scuffed. Also--it fits my very very wide feet great! which is rare. I have a hard time finding sandals because of my wide small feet but these fit like they were made for me.

I really wanted to love these shoes. I can see how they may fit other people just right, but my big toe must be larger than average. The toe ridge at the top of the shoes prevented my feet from fitting. The color is beautiful though, wish they fit my feet!

I love Keen Newports. This is my 3rd pair and I am slightly disappointed in the fit. The molded heel feels thicker on one side and the arch doesn't seem to be as high. I am wondering if the shoe quality is becoming inconsistent?

These shoes were comfortable from the first wearing and very cute, too, but they make my feet stink! I wondered how this could be, an open sandal? But I looked around the web and find others complain of this as well. They offer some solutions (washing, putting the shoes in the sun) but this will keep me from wearing them as often, a serious inconvenience. Would not buy again.

I love Keen sandals, my favorite being the Venice style, so I tried this Newport and had to return it. It has an unusually-placed, noticeable and hard toe bar that does not fit all lengths and shapes of toes. Wish keen would keep the same footbed in its sandals so returns would not be necessary. So, live and learn from my mistakes.

I had a pair of Keens that I loved. These seem less than comfortable compared to my other pair. They are much flatter and don't offer much arch support. The others lasted a 12 hour shift and then some. I am lucky to not have sore feet and a sore back after 4 hrs in these. For Keen lovers, you will need to give these some serious consideration BEFORE buying. Don't compare them to any other Keens you've had.

Allergic to these shoes - I tried these shoes on and they seemed fine indoors. Very comfortable, shoe seemed perfect. However, when I got in the car, within 10 minutes my feet started to "weep" with perspiration, and they began to ITCH. I had to pull over and take the shoes off. I was perplexed. I visited the Keen website, and they have a section of their FAQ that explains that some people are allergic to the antimicrobial treatment in the neoprene lining of the shoe. They have a shoe model in their line that does not contain that chemical and advertise that if you have a reaction, they will exchange your shoes. I did not have time to deal with that, and the shoes were too hot to wear in 110 degree desert heat in my opinion. I returned them immediately, and replaced them with Chaco sandals...I am thrilled with my Chaco sandals. My feet can breathe, will stay cooler, and they are more comfortable... better arch support.

Oops - I kind of goofed with this shoe - comfortable, but clunky looking and not very flattering. I ordered the lime green color (they were out of almost all the other colors) and am having a hard time getting them to go with anything. I am taking them to Hawaii this summer, but wish I had gotten a more flattering style. I have several Keens and love them all, but this one. Zappos' service can't be beat.

Looks aren't everything, when will I learn - I'll be honest; I have bunions. Need to remain hip, hide them, and sometimes need a sandal. Newport H2 were the best choice. Ordered my size (9.5) and a 10 - kept the 10. Lesson #1: order a size up. Love the look, style, durability, and color (Kiwi). After about an hour, they really were hurting. I decided (rationalizing all the way as so many women do) they simply needed break-in time. Wrong. Lesson #2: don't wear them outside and return them immediately if they hurt. Tried them with socks - not a good look. Helped a bit in fit, but, in the end should have returned them! Footbed is a bit tough, feet sweat in them, hurt the bunions, but of course, I'll keep them and take Advil. That's the kind of gal I am. I love Keens and Zappos, so hopefully, lessons learned. Read reviews which referred to blisters and rubbing, but I didn't have those concerns. The fit was good - it was me that was the problem.

High Hopes Dashed - I had such high hopes for these shoes, wanting a pair of sports sandals suitable for 3 weeks of walking in Europe in warm weather. Ordered a full size up, since they don't offer the shoe in wide. The arch support felt great, but everything else was a disappointment: tight, heavy, and funny ridges pressing on the pinkie toes. After just 5 minutes of walking around on my carpet, my feet felt hot and constricted. These are getting returned today, I'm sad to say, especially since I love the colors and even the odd look.

These looked so comfortable, but they are not. The stitching throughout the shoe is rough and exposed. After two weeks of wearing them, I have raw skin on my heels and toes. The foot bed is heavy plastic material and causes my feet to sweat and gather dirt. Finally, they are heavy and tight – I can't wait to kick them off. Finally, I wrote the company directly to ask about the exposed stitching, and they never wrote me back. Overall, a huge disappointment.

A MUST BUY! These are the best! You can run, hike and do water sports. They come in great colors too!

Disappointed - I had previously bought a pair of the Newport H2's and loved them but after a year of wear and tear (including hiking the Grand Canyon) I desperately needed a new pair. I ordered the same style & size but they were too small, when I ordered another size up the mold of the sole hurt my toes. I was surely disappointed.

Heavier than expected - They look good and feel pretty good but are heavier than expected and pinchy around my pinky toe. Perhaps a half size larger would be better. Great colors.

"These shoes suck!" Thus saith my friend, quoted out of context, for a catchy title. I really do LOVE these shoes. Ditto with regards to what everyone has enthusiastically said, except in one area: smooth, wet, river granite boulders and river rock. I have to agree completely with my outspoken friend, who bought a pair of H2's on my recommendation! In fact, I talked four people into buying them because I really enjoyed their fit (I have a supremely narrow foot), their comfort in walking and standing for hours on end, their PROTECTION of the toes which I always scrape up on rocks. I had been told, and now read, that these shoes are tops in water and had great traction on smoothie, wet surfaces (go back and read the "details" about these guys), but when we went "scrambling" in the Big Sur River, my friend and I were slipping and sliding all over the place while our friends, wearing their Chacos, had plenty of traction over wet, slick boulders and river bed rocks. So, they don't slip in my bathtub, but they were worse than worthless in the BSR. Maybe they work great on rough, wet rock or lava or coral or boat decks...but I'll be sure to take my Chacos along in case they don't.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped. Overall, I am pleased with the shoes. I was not looking for an attractive shoe, but one which was good for hot weather hiking and able to go into the water. Unfortunately, they are not as comfortable or soft as air as they were touted to be. They chafe my little toe on my right foot, but I'm hoping with time the will soften up and get more comfortable. I am wearing them camping this weekend, which was the original reason for my purchase and have worn them twice to break them in, but not too happy.

Purchased the Newport H2 for a trip to Europe. Wanted to take only one all-purpose shoe. The shoe is great for hiking and walking in cooler weather but once the weather got hot, my feet sweat very badly and caused blisters. Would not recommend for Mediterranean warm climate.

Mixed bag. These shoes are very comfortable, but I found they were made my feet too hot...they're just not "sandal-y" enough for my needs. The footbed is very comfortable though...so much so that I plan on ordering a pair of their shoes. They're not pretty shoes, but they're funky, which is why I gave them four stars in the look department. Incidentally, my husband has these shoes (the men's version, obviously) and he adores them. I have some other Keen shoes and I love them. These sandals just weren't for me.

Don't Buy for Boating - I love these sandals. They're comfortable, and I wore them all summer. But one of the reasons I bought them was to wear them when boating. Contrary to what the description says, they WILL leave black marks all over your boat. I was a little disappointed since I paid more than I would have normally, and can't use them for something they are designed for.

These shoes are very comfortable -- the toe bumper is great, and they have great support, though they are a little hotter than I expected. But they are ugly. (Someone described them as 'clown shoes'.) The front of the shoe is so wide; if you have narrow feet and/or skinny legs, they look pretty strange.

Clown feet - I loved the idea of this shoe...water, terrain, etc. But when I put them on, I felt like I had clown shoes on. The protective toe is a great idea, but it makes the front of the shoe much wider than the other parts, esp if you have narrow feet like I do. I guess I'll look for another style or brand.

Some of the best shoes I've gotten in a LONG time! Our fashion Diva at work turned me on to these beauties, and am I ever grateful to her! The felt great from the time I put them on and I have more people asking me about them. I'm even going to get another couple pairs I like them so much!! I have perwinkle now and can't wait to get the navy ones. They fit great, feel great and look great! I have horses and usually all I wear are boots or shoes for riding, but even these babies fit into the sturrips and off we went! Looking good!
