Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I ordered these Keen's in a size 8. When I tried to put them on, I could barely get my foot into the shoe. It felt like they were more like a 7 then an 8. My toes were at the end, once I finally squeezed into them. I'm going to order another size or maybe look for a different style. I own an older pair of this type of shoe by Keen and it fits just fine in the 8. So, I'm not sure what's up with this style. But, the support and comfort of the sole sure felt good. These are sadly going back.

I bought two pairs of these one was a print which fits beautifully and the other was the light gray which is the same size but very narrow and way small!!! Made in Mexico no wonder

AT 1 month the sides tore along the seams. At 6 months the straps tore out. Never more disappointed in a pair of good comfortable shoes.

Keens are the best shoes ever! Wore my Keens all over Africa and Ireland. A must have if you are doing a lot of walking. Better than gym shoes because it allows ventilation.

A few years ago, I developed a painful metatarsal neuroma and was looking for a shoe that would give me the proper support I needed. The foot bed in this shoe was exactly what I needed. Even though my foot has healed, I still consider this model the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn and own three different colors in it.

You can't beat Keen's for comfort. I wore these while making documentaries in San Francisco during the summer and they saved my feet. Even after 10-12 hours on them, I still wasn't sore. Also I wore mine straight from the box, not rubbing or breaking in needed, they molded to my feet right away. Not to mention the coral color is super fun and spunky.

Traction was perfect for all day hiking even though water and slimy/mossy areas. I never lost my footing. The shoe was comfortable all day. We were hiking 8-12 hrs and I never had I problem. I would and have already recommend them to everyone.

I love these sandals! I have worn them camping, caving, and kayaking as well as daily chores like gardening and lawn mowing. They are comfortable and protective for all activities. Because they are closed toe I can wear them at work too. The fit is snug enough to give you confidence in slippery situations. I would buy again!

3 years ago I bought this shoe for my Europe adventures and since then it has become my daily go-to shoe. Having only the 1 pair this whole time, ordering another not because it has worn out or needs to be replaced but as a backup! I never pack this shoe it's always what I wear at the airport (easy to take off). I cannot bear to loose these! This is the only shoe I ever paid this much money for and it was more than worth the investment, for a year. The best walking shoe ever, never had any problems and I have a high arches, heel and back problems. I have worn it while walking through muddy waters, bathing in lakes, hiking to and going under a waterfall in Hawaii, in the rain, in the summer this thing is unbeatable! I love the style and even wear it with my 'nice' outfits when walking is involved. I am usually a 6 Wide but the 'regular' width fits me just fine. Love this shoe and so glad I can purchase the same style/color after 3 years!

Got these shoes for my daily workout/walk to the store as well as workout at the gym. They are fantastic! Nice arch support. Able to fit thick socks for when it's cold since they're adjustable. I can wear them with workout clothes as well as regular clothes and they look better than big, clunky running shoes or the like. Tried the Venice style too and they didn't work for me. The design of the shoe places a strap right at my arch and it was too tight and uncomfortable. Also tried different sizes since I wasn't sure which one would work with socks. Thanks to Zappos and their fantastic return policy I was able to try on all the different ones I got until I found the right one. Yay Zappos!

Given as a Christmas Gift and my kid loves them. We will be using these specifically for Disney World when we go in May.

Love these shoes! I wear them every day to work and never have tired or sore feet. Ever. They are super ventilated to stay cool.

These were amazingly comfortable out of the box. Just note -- they run very small. I usually wear 8-8 1/2 and had to go to 9 1/2. A little wider than average which was a plus for me. I bought these for water activities, especially kayaking. They stayed on well, drained well and dried nicely with no river, or sea odor. Spot cleaned like a charm and looked new again. They are expensive, but hopefully since they are made for water, they will not fall apart. The arch support is adequate for a long walk as well. Many times water shoes are flat and terribly hard to walk any distance in. The best thing is that they match my kayak! I like these so much I'm going to try the regular Newports for daily wear.

Keen Sandals are awesome! I love these sandals! I have three pairs and they are so comfortable! I can walk around the city all day without my feet hurting. The shoes get compliments all the time - they are so cute! Everyone should own at least one pair of Keen Sandals. NOTE: I had to buy a whole size larger in these shoes for a proper fit.

Very good - I do love the color and the overall support. It is really like a shoe verses a sandle.

Wish the colors of the stripes were bright like the ones in the picture online. Overall stylish and very comfortable. Debating on whether I will keep because of the colors. I may exchange the shoe for the same in another color. They fit and feel great. I love Keen and this shoe stands up to the quality they are known for.

I’ve been living in keens for 14 years…so I’m super disappointed that I can hardly get my feet into these! These are narrower and generally tighter than in the past, but the biggest issue is lack of stretch around ankle makes it almost impossible to get my big hobbit feet into them!

So disappointed,,,Keen is just too narrow anymore. Keen used to be perfect! Not anymore! They have definitely narrowed the sandal.

I bought a pair of Keen Newport shoes 6 years ago in women's 10.5. They are still going strong, but I wanted to add another color to my wardrobe. I ordered the same size, and the shoe ran a full inch shorter and much narrower than my original pair. I had to return and order a men's shoe to get the width I needed. I was bummed since I liked the raspberry accents on the women's shoe.

Cute, but built as a water sandal - I like the look of these (had to get red), but they are not quite as comfortable as you'd think, based on their appearance. The rubber sole and webbed sandal are built to survive water sports and not for comfort. My feet start to feel clammy if the weather is warm and the webbing is a bit scratchy. They are still new, so wearing in may help. Sizing is also a challenge, as the 7 I got is on the small side. Bigger may have helped, but I decided to stick with this size, as other water sandals I've had tended to stretch out with repeated wearing.

This is a review for the North Atlantic/Chinois Green color of the Keen Newport H2. They are very bulky looking, which I wouldn't mind if they were well made and fit my needs. Unfortunately these are quite large on me, both in length and width, despite being my correct size (and in comparison, I got the same exact sandal in another color, Grey/Ocean Wave, and they were too small on my foot in width, length, and also height of the toe box). The left shoe wasn't even feeling the same size difference as the right - the right felt even looser. I had to pull the elastic so tight to fit on that they were much too long to tuck nicely. Because of the poor fit, the soles didn't feel comfortable either in the placement of arch and toe support. Because this pair was so much different in fit than the exact same sandal in a different color, I just can't recommend these for any reason. Something is clearly amiss in the production of these shoes.

I've bought the Keen sandals for many years. This purchase felt different. The material, the fit, the comfort are all different. Most of all, I could hardly get them on my feet. I noticed that the back strap is short, and falls short of the footbed. I don't know if the country of manufacture (Mexico, in this case) is a factor, but based on this most recent experience, I'll not be buying these again. I'm sorry about this, as these have been my go-to sandal for many years.

I've been wearing Keen H2s for years, always size 8.5. That's what I ordered this time but the shoes are way too small. To confirm that the problem was not that my feet have swelled, I pulled out the old Keens and the new ones are obviously smaller. By a lot. I should be able to order the same shoe by the same manufacturer in the same size I've always worn. Was the box mislabeled? Are the shoes seconds? Is Keen skimping on materials? Has Keen decided, arbitrarily, to alter their sizing? None of the possible explanations inspires confidence.

I’m going to be brief. I had every part of the same issue, and question as the previous comments up to this date. Problems solved with this shoe….Keen deserves a round of applause. Outstanding work and great design for the performance you have throughout the year, day or month.

These fit well. I ordered 3 styles of keen sandals having never had a pair. I ended up keeping 2 pairs because they are great. This pair was not for me because it had a more heavy rugged sole. That may be better for someone else who really wants to get out in the terrain. I wanted something lighter
