Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Retro

Shoe looks and feels good

I purchased these shoes to wear after knee surgery during my PT. I needed the heels enclosed and yet easy on/off. There is adequate arch support and the front toe bumpers will protect my feet nicely since I already know that I will be a bit clumsy. This color is neutral and can be worn with more outfits than other color options. (Hemp/White). There is adequate arch support. Best benefit for me? LIGHTWEIGHT! The upcycled rice hulls in the soles keeps the weight low! Other really good benefit? Great traction on the soles. And they bend and flex fairly well. Not my favorite "look" but they're perfect for my needs after surgery.

I have this pair in the tie dye color and they fit beautifiully. I wanted to buy a second pair, but unfortunately, the latest Keens NewPort are narrower than the old ones.

Good material but too narrow.

The bears are really cute and I loved the colorway. Unfortunately, they are uncomfortably tight across the midsole area. I have a regular width foot so this shouldn't happen for shoes meant for comfort, especially given the boxiness of the shoe in general. With all of the rubber and no hope of any give after wear these shoes are going back. Sad as Keens used to fit me. Not sure what happened. I guess they are off my shoe list.

Really cute shoes, unfortunately they are too narrow. I have had Keens before with no problem so I'm very disappointed to find they no longer fit my foot. After reading reviews for other models it seems they have changed the general width on all shoes so I am returning these and looking for another brand.

The style was great but because there was no velcro open I could NOT get the show on and off easily

Cute shoe, well made. I have narrow feet and this brand doesn't work for me.

Runs small

Switching up from kid size of this style to adult, we had to use the "inches" conversion. These felt small in the toe box for my daughter, so we'll try a half-size up. It seems that the adult version of Newport -- which has an open back unlike the kids' version -- fits a little differently. On behalf of a summer camp counselor, it would be great if Keen offered any of the styles for adults with a closed back.

The strap is tighter and smaller at the back. It has no “give” in the strap. Need to go half a size up for truly comfortable fit

I loved the Venice and its fit. The Newport is close, but falls short in that there is not enough give to allow the shoe to be put on easily. There is also not much give across the width. It's a heavy, sturdy shoe, so for the purpose of water hiking, it would hold up well once you managed to put it on!

I love the look of these sandals, but I hate trying to force them over my very high instep. My older Keens fit me perfectly, but it really seems like Keen has started to skimp just a bit on construction, which makes all the difference between a great, comfortable fit and a marginal, not very comfortable one.

I love the colors of these shoes, but the insoles are a little thicker than the H2 Keen Sandals, and they felt like the were going making my foot go kind of slanted, so for this eson I am returning them!

I normally wear a women's size 11. Ordered this in an 11 and they were too short and very tight across the instep. Since 11 is the largest women's size, I reordered a Mens size 10. Normally I can order a mens shoe 1.5 sizes smaller than the womens size and it will fit, just be wider. But no, the mens 10 was also very tight across the instep. Length was ok, so I can't go to a larger size without them being too long. Too bad, because I love the tie dye look.

The arch was the most comfortable I’ve ever tried on. I love the new footbed. Howeve, the toe box was too short. My big toe touched the end of the shoe when I walked. I think a half size up would not have messed up how perfect the arch hit. Bummer, but I have to send them back.

The right shoe fit narrower than the left. I returned the same sandal in another color that fit fine but the color made the sandal look huge on my feet. I assumed the same style in a dark color would solve that problem but the second pair fit differently than the first pair. I was sad to have to return them.

I have quite a few Keen shoes and was expecting this one to fit great and look good. However, I was a little disappointed with the color I had wanted it to be more white. In the meantime I discovered the Keen Elsa and order that instead. It's a canvas show and one of my newest favorites from Keen.

Sadly - but these cuties did not work for me. I have many (and I love shoes) Keen sandals, shoes, and boots - so I was surprised that Newport Retro did not fit. They did look cute --- but cute does not cut it when you have very old and tired feet. And I know the size was correct - the same for all my Keens. I was looking forward to these neutral color sandals. But -- not-to-worry ---- with Zappos it is always"free shipping and free return" - buying and trying without fear!

I really wanted to like these sporty sandals. We had a couple of warm days that got me thinking ahead about spring and summer and outdoor activities so I was eager to try them. They were very difficult to put on, and although the back part (arch area to heel) fit well, the front part (ball of foot to toes) was huge - way too wide and way too tall. They flopped around and all I could think of were clown shoes. (Note: I have slightly high arches but otherwise my feet are not difficult to shop for or fit)

I had high hopes for these colorful summer casuals. Sadly, they were too wide for my long but narrow feet. Plus, the exaggerated toe box made them look almost comical on my long feet. So they're going back.

This shoes are so ridiculously narrow! I decided to try different sizes but it didn't help, my feet quite narrow but they could not fit inside the shoe.

I've worn Keens for years and have always worn the same size. I couldn't even get these shoes on my feet because they were so small

Returned these

I've been wearing Keens for over a decade--and these were the first pair that felt uncomfortable and painful, like shorter and stiffer, little toe box space and not great (friction) in the back.
