Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2 Hydro

smaller than the size would indicate, less comfortable than much less expensive alternative returned immdiately

The stitching came undone from the straps during the end of the 2nd season that I had them.

Shoes did not match size specified. Bought Keen sandals before and wore them out, loved them. Went to get new ones but local store didn't have my size so they came from LLBean warehouse. No issues there at all. Put them on and left foot hurt like crazy since too small even though labeled at 11.5 which was the size I had before. Local store took them back. Need to go back and get a set that fits properly eventually. Seems like a manufacturing issue or screw up.

I ordered a 9 (correct size), but I couldn't get my foot in it. So, returned it and got a 9 1/2.Same problem. So, I think it is just a design flaw. So returning again. Too bad, they look great, just can't get them on my feet

Initially bought my regular shoe size 8.0 but were too short. Exchged for 8.5 but still too short and extremely hard to get back strap over my heals. Had to cut off the back strap to get any use from them.

These would be a 5 star except for one massive design flaw--they are almost impossible to put on your foot due to the lack of an adjustable loop around the heel. Quality, fit, comfort are all great after you struggle for five or ten minutes to squeeze your foot into the shoe.

I found the closed toes didn't work on my feet any more.

I bought these for my 12 year old son. He could not get them on his feet. When he wore children's sizes, they had an opening with velcro. It would be much better if there was an adult style with this feature. We had to return them. What I replaced them with did not work nearly as well as the old children's Keens worked. However, L.L.Bean was great about taking them back.

I thought that the Keen product was good and this was the reason why I got them. I did not use them that often but noticed the flaw of the back strap. It's coming loose and making the shoe very difficult to wear safely. I am highly disappointed.

These sandals are lovely but I can’t get my foot into it. Placing my foot on top the bed shows it to be the right length. Problem is the opening would require me to overstretch the fabric. So if I ordered a size larger expect my foot to be “Lost in Space”.

I just returned mine as defective they didn;t even last 2 months of weekend only wear. The straps were coming out of the rubber sole. I checked online and this is very common for Keens. They offered me a replacement pair but every pair in the store I looked at had the same issue where the straps were separating from the rubber. I took the store credit instead and will use for something else another day.

Sorry, the men's Keens did not work for my husband. They were to wide and returned them.

I purchased these sandals last summer and they didn't last a year. And they were only worn during the summer months. I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of these sandals. These are not cheap shoes. A cheap pair from Wal-Mart last longer than these did and I can buy 5 pairs for what I spent on these.

Purchased this pair to replace a pair with defects in the left sandal of another pair. Same problem with this pair - defects in left sandal. These are definitely seconds and there is a clearly a lack of quality control at Bean. Bean's excuse of that if you are not satisfied you can return it is nice, but it would be nicer to get a pair without defects. it takes time to pack up defects and return them.

Very disappointed in the quality of these sandals. While Keen usually makes a good product these are clearly "2nds" and not of 1st quality. Quality control is becoming non-existent.

Knowing that this sandal comes smaller than it is sized, I ordered them a full size bigger than my normal size.. The size came out fine, but I could only get the sandal onto my foot after a lot of struggle. The opening is way too small for my foot, even when the strings are fully loosened. This sandal is being returned.

AWFUL. This design is thoughtless. Because the straps do not adjust, and the lace system does not loosen enough, you must squeeze your foot through the ankle opening. For me, that required two hands and a newly invented cross between a yoga position and a ballerina pose. Once they were on, they felt pretty good, but what a pain in the neck, back and leg. Frustrating.

I wear a size 12 and ordered a size 12, they are closer to a size 10 and not a "D" but probably a "C" or "B" width. I am not sure who sizes these shoes, but they are way off. This is the second pair of shoes I have purchased from Bean that are not sized properly and will be my last. And on top of these not fitting I also get to pay $6.50 to ship them back. Very disappointed.

I was pretty pumped after reading so many great reviews on these sandals. Sadly, that's the only good thing I can say about them as I cannot get them onto my feet. I wear an 11 1/2 to a 12 and there is no way on earth I can get my feet into these size 12 sandals. In fact, I'm not sure a 13 would work. For the extremely high price and LL Bean reputation, I expected something I could wear. Very, very disappointed and will hesitate purchasing anything here again. This is the second shoe I have purchased where the sizing was an issue. Save your money, don't spend it on these things.

I wear a 12 regular and generally have no trouble finding shoes that fit, but these sandals felt extremely tight and constraining, particularly in the toe area. I could not wiggle my toes at all in these sandals -- very uncomfortable.

I have a size 12 foot even if I ordered size 13 the shoe would not fit my foot, it is not deep enough it might fit someone with a flipper. I will be returning it soon.

The stitching for the elastic band going around the heel came loose the first day hiking creek beds in Utah slick rock canyons. Had to do field repair. Sent pictures and email to Keen alerting them about this defect. They finally responded to my second email that they would consider giving a refund however my email had stated I already had a refund. They said nothing about investigating the defective stitching! I have seen the same defective stitching on these sandals at various stores. Buyer Beware!

These sandals are at least one size too small - suggest buying one size up. Sadly, the largest size is 13, which is way smaller than expected!
