Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Retro

Runs small. Had to return 1st pair and go up 1/2 a size. Exchange was easy.

Fits great once you can get it on. The ankle is non-adjustable, could barely get my bony feet into the shoe. Hopefully it will stretch a bit.

Super cool looking active life sandals! A little tight around the top of my foot. Comfortable once my foot is in there.

Great shoe but troublesome for folks with high arches. Couldn't get my foot through the opening! I had to cut one side of the first support strap on both shoes. Even then they are still pretty tight to get on. But they are comfortable once I have my foot inside.

Keen must have changed their Newport sizing. This pair of size 12 Newports was visibly shorter by about a quarter inch than my son's two-year-old pair of size 12 Newports. Otherwise a great shoe. Ordered 13's to replace these, which are a smidge long but basically fit fine. Dinged overall score one star due to sizing change.

This shoe would probably fit someone with a "normal" foot. However too short on right foot and pinky stuck out on left foot. Even though I got it in a wide size, it was not quite wide enough for me.

Based on other reviews, I ordered half a size up from my usual size. These seem to be the correct length. The sandals are an initial struggle to get on, even with opening up the bungee laces as much as possible. I’m hoping they “loosen up” with wear as there is no stretch to the back strap. If you plan to wear these with socks, you might want to go up at least a full size.

Had to order men’s to get the width needed and a half size larger for length

Would have kept these had I not found the women's Chaco closed toe sandal. The size 11 was almost perfect for my women's size 12/44 feet. (Don't you hate Zappos for sizing 42s as fitting a size 12?) I felt my toe was slightly too close to the end, but as I said, if this was my only choice . . . I find these sandals somewhat clunky, but appreciated the colorful option this year. I hope in future years that the men's styles (or size 12 womens, hint, hint) continue to have a choice that is a bit more colorful than they have been historically.

I order men's Keen's because the women's styles are not wide enough for me. I had to exchange these for a half size larger than another pair of men's Keen sandals I own. I compared them side by side and these are definitely shorter. They are not quite as comfortable as my other pair, which are leather and more comfortable across the top of the foot, and easier to get on and off as they open up at the top whereas these have a fixed band that has no stretch. The heel band also does not stretch, so you have to grab the tab on the heel band and give them a good tug to get them on. All that said, because the tie dye style is so appealing to me, I am going to keep them. However, the support is not great and so I don't expect I will be wearing them on long walks...in my case, they are for fashion wear only.

I cannot wear Women's Keens because they are not wide enough and so I was excited to find these cute Keen men's sandals. I have a pair of Keen Arroyo's (for men) in same size that fit great. These however, are too small. It is frustrating to purchase the same size shoe from the same company and find that they are not in fact, the same size--when comparing these to my other pair, these are clearly about a half size smaller. I like these so much that I am going to return these and try a half size larger. Keeping my fingers crossed.

A little difficult to get on, but once they're on, they feel like the right size... except the width is rather narrow. The shoes are rubbing against the joints of my big toes on the side and it's uncomfortable. I hope after a period of breaking in they'll stop abrasing in that area. I really don't want to have to wear socks with these... kind of defeats the purpose.

idk yet have to return and get bigger size and wider width.

I had to order this in men's sizes to have them wide enough. Not enough stretch in the back strap. . Hard to put on.

Despite getting a men's size that was a half size larger than I need, the shoe still felt narrow and has a very short instep. I could barely get the shoes on because there's not a lot of give to the elastic. I ended up returning them and will try something else.

Rather difficult to get on. Ankle slot is stiff and barely stretches. Once on it is great.

I love these sandals but I failed to note one reviewer's comment that the lack of an adjustable back strap meant the fit could be a problem. I'm a woman ordering a men's sandal but I was encouraged by another woman with wide feet who found these sandals perfect. I forgot I have a high instep and because the top band stretches just a little and the back strap is not adjustable, I couldn't get my foot entirely inside the shoes, though the size was just right. Not for me...sadly. My only publicly acceptable sandals are Teva Tirras.

I purchased these in men’s so they would fit my wide feet and to my surprise they are quite snug in the with. I have 1 other pair of keen sandals that for perfect in width that’s why I was so surprised by this. Another issue I have with this sandal is my pinky toe almost sticks out of the side due to the strap location. I love the look and the support this sandal gives just some issues with width and placement of straps.

Believe the reviews that state these sandals run small. Very small. And sadly, Keen does not believe anyone should have wide feet. I wear a men's 7EE. I had to order 5 pair ranging from 7-9 to find one that slipped on easily and was comfortable. I ended up with size 8.5, a full 1.5 longer than my normal shoe. Quality is good, but I gave these three stars for "overall" because of the time and difficulty necessary to find the right sandal just because, as far as Keen seems to be concerned, size doesn't matter.

I totally WANTED to keep these shoes but had to return due to fit - my regular size (I've had about 4 pair of similar Keen's in the past) was uncomfortable at the heel, so I returned and tried half a size larger. Still uncomfortable and now too big! I think the problem is that the heel strap construction is rigid, my other Keen's have some flexible give in the heel strap area. I really love the fun colors and pattern on these (they make me smile just to look at them), so disappointed I can't wear them!

I love this color scheme! However, they don't fit as well as Keens I've bought in the past. They are much tighter in the width, but I'm hoping they will loosen up...as my other Keens did, even though I didn't need my others to loosen up. I have to buy these in the men's size as it is because the women's versions AREN'T EVER wide enough...are you listening Keen??? Anyway...in the past I had bought 3 pairs of men's in the Venice style...now they're not available. Too bad...as those are the best style Keen had in the men's. Oh well....less $$ for Keen from me, I guess.

I've finally given up on these. They cut up your feet around the heel and toes. Trying Chocas now.

Well ... they are KEENS, but just as it seems to be in everything, they're not made like they used to be. Cheap construction material, feels abrasive against the top of my foot and toes. Disappointed

These sandels came in a torn up box, and they are dirty. Cleaned the tops but souls are dirty with gravel and stuff. Gross didn't want used shoes, could goto good will for that.

The sandals were nearly impossible to get on my feet. Even a shoehorn wasn't much help. Was looking forward to wearing them.
