Customer Reviews KEEN Newport H2

I bought this Keen N.H2 to replace a similar pair in leather I had for many years - at least 10 years and in fact probably more! I had used them in sea water, to bike, to hike, to garden, and more. My new pair was a huge disappointment because of a huge drop in quality. I wore the new pair one day for a total of 6.6 miles in Zion Park were most of the trails were paved. At the end of the day the light color rubber along the sole had numerous cracks by the heel, the gluing of the inner sole to the outer band was giving way also along the heel sections, and the suede tongue stitched on the ankle collar of the right foot became undone with thread billowing. Other small details showed very poor workmanship. I am terribly disappointed with Keen.

These shoes make my feet look huge and clunky and also they are very uncomfortable as the strap puts too much pressure on the back of my heel. I would not recommend these.

Too bad! Really wanted these shoes to fit but must be cut for different foot shape. Love the look and the material but straps left red welt on my small toes. Too bad as I was looking forward to wearing these sandals.
