Keen Men's Newport H2 Sandal

Great Hikers!
May 05, 2012

These are some great water/hiking sandals. I use them for very light hikes, especially if we're going to be in the water. They have lasted a lot longer than I expected.....don't seem to ever fall apart. They run true to size except they do fit just a hair wide. All in all great sandals for whatever terrain you're looking to conquer.

Awesome!

My Newport H2s are absolutely perfect in every way possible! They fit and are comfortable to wear! They are perfect to wear out in the yard or on our landscape and can be worn in a formal, casual, and/or in a work condition.

Wow !!

This is my second pair of Keen sandals, and again they are the best. Comfortable, protective and versatile. I use it all the time and everywhere, in the city, beach and on long trips. Just a very good product.

Love these sandals. Comfortable,lightweight and the pale orange and gray goes with all my summer clothes. Great buy. I plan to wear them on all my summer trips and get togethers with friends.

Most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. This is my second pair. First pair held up very well after being used hard for every day use, hiking and travel.

These sandals are amazing and durable. I have been riding bikes, hiking, and running around in them and they are taking a beating like champs. They are comfortable and I totally recommend these sandals for anyone who wants some quality and durable sandals.

Real Kickers!

These well-made, comfortable, and stylish sandals make it impossible to stub a toe, are waterproof and quick drying nylon material, and go anywhere. In fact, I intend wearing them with a pair of wool dress slacks, like high tech huaraches, so I don't have to pack a pair of dress shoes for going to dinner with a friend during my upcoming dental safari in Mexico. BTW, consider adding a full size up from your normal shoe size, as they are cut to snug close to your feet.

My most comfortable shoes
January 17, 2012

This is the third pair of Keen sandals I've owned in the last six years. They wear like iron. I just wore my first pair out Nov.2011. The sandals never malfunctioned, I actually wore the soles off of them. I have worn them casually, hiking,as water shoes and even use them as shower-shoes on military bases in Afghanistan.

These sandals have a nice feel to them. I like that the toes are not exposed (greatly reducing the pain endured after stubbing the toes) and that fresh air could flow in and out of the sandals. Nice!

great product

2nd pair, great fitting,comfortable, and supportive.I bought these sandals/water sandals for days at the beach and days on the river .They arejust what is needed

Size Up
January 04, 2012

Great shoe as everyone has expressed. If in doubt on size, go up! My nephew felt like the shoe size he normally wears (13) was a little too snug in this sandal, so we returned them for a 14.

Proven value
December 27, 2011

The first pair lasted through 10 years of wear while loading and unloading my boat into the Chesapeake Bay. The snug upper material dried quickly and always retained it's shape and color. The soles have great traction on slippery surfaces in water and are comfortable for long distance walking on dry surfaces.

Close to perfect

I bought these to go hiking in Hawaii, where I knew I would be crossing shallow streams and dealing with a lot of mud and puddles. At first I was worried about the prospect of hiking in a sandal- particularly whether or not my feet would slide around- especially on declines. These fears were all dismissed when I had them out on the trail- I can say that they are without a doubt my most comfortable shoes. Once I got back from my trip I wore them during all of my summer hiking back in the US, and even just on rainy days until the temp got too low for sandals. My one gripe keeping me from giving these 5 stars is that the grip on the soles is just not enough. It's one thing to slip on river stones, but on regular wet rocks, clay, and dusty dirt surfaces, I sometimes had trouble getting grip. This led to a few tense moments while hiking on an incline a little too near the edge of Waimea canyon. That said, I still recommend them because they're just ridiculously comfortable (when I had plantar fascitis I wore them exclusively until it cleared up); just don't expect to grip as well as a good boot.

GREAT SANDALS

I purchased these sandals as a gift. I have several sandals myself and all are wonderful. Altrec gives great service and sells wonderful products. THANK YOU !!!

Love these! Before moving to India I bought a pair on a whim thinking they'd be my alternate footware, however, in the end I wore them everyday. On top of wearing them everywhere I also trekked the Annapurna's in Nepal, and hiked throughout Costa Rica and Baja, Mexico. After 2 years of abuse I decided my original pair had seen better days and replaced them with another. I'm back in Baja now and don't imagine they'll disappoint. When I bought my replacement I had worn through the indicating size and guessed. Altrec.com was great with swapping it for the correct size when I got it wrong.

I have owned several pair of the Keen Newport H2 sandal. What I like most about them is the comfort. They fit my foot well and have a generous amount of cushion in the sole. The Keen Newport H2 have a large toe box which may be why I find them so comfortable. My normal shoe size fits me best in the Keen Newport H2, they are true to size. The outsole of the sandal is durable, I have worn out the insole and uppers of this sandal but not the outsole. The cinch on the elastic cord lace failed on one sandal after about a year and a half. The lace on this shoe would not stay tight because the the lace would slip through one side of the cinch. Overall I think these are excellent sandals.

What can I say! Another great product from Keen. They are the only shoe I buy now. Doesn't matter whether it's for snow, water or just toolin' around town, they make the best shoe that's comfortable right out of the box. Buy 'em you won't be sorry. And as for Altrec, they are the best!!!

Very comfortable water and all round shoe
November 06, 2011

I love these shoes. The are very comfortable and have a great arch support. The are made very well and will last a long time. I have had mine for a year and have worn them at the hot springs, the beach, and walked miles in them on pavement. No issues at all and you don't even need to break them in. They are great shoes for someone that wants to protect their feet and also have something that is comfortable.

Long lasting fave...

I purchased these for my husband. After several seasons, they're still a go to favorite. Fit was true to his regular shoe size. He pulls them out for a day at the lake or a casual, relaxed hike. The toe box offers great protection in rocky environments. I liked them so much I bought a pair for myself! Love Altrec for quick shipping and easy (rarely needed) returns.

Great Active Sandal

These shoes are extemely comfortable and keep your feet cool in hot weather. I bought these specifically for an upcoming trip to Kauai, but have been getting a lot of use out of them around home. Wish I would have bought them earlier in the season.

Huge toe box
September 28, 2011

I've had these sandals over a year, and used them for many times. my first impression was these look kinda frankensteinish but i got over that. there ok for hiking only complaint rocks get in there alot. in the water there good. I just recently had to have one side repaired due to the back strap tearing away from the side piece.

Fantastic sandals
September 07, 2011

This is my second pair of Newport H2 sandals. They're a perfect combination of being cool and airy, while still offering quite a bit of closed-toe protection. I'm comfortable wearing them even for light trail hikes.

ugly in the box
September 01, 2011

Well, when I pulled out these sneaker-sandals both my husband and I said in unison..."back these go". BUT, I encouraged him to try them on if nothing else a good laugh or two. BUT they ended up looking cool and he said they felt comfortable. Lesson, dont judge a book by its cover. BTW, the black and tan look nice not dorky.

Keen Newport H2 Sport Sandals
August 21, 2011

The Keen Newport H2 sandals are a dream come true. Especially for people with wide feet. This is my third pair of Keens and I love everyone of them. I have noticed that the Newport runs alittle on the smaller size, so I went up a 1/2 size from a 8.5 to a 9. One thing I love about the keens are that they fit my fat foot the minute I put them on. No break-in period for me. I love the toe protector and the easy slip on / off with quick lacing system. I live in my keens all summer and have a keen stripe tan. You can't go wrong with the Newport H2 sandal.

best shoes ever, great fit, great for the outdoors. awesome when i went whitewater rafting. also, they are great for action shots. I wear these shoes when i go to bed.

Great Altrec Service
August 07, 2011

This is my second pair. I had to send back the first as it was a bit small, specially the right foot. Altrec changed them very fast, very courtious and without any hassle. New pair is just right and comfortable. Sandals are very well built and should last for a long time.

Truly hybrid footwear
August 07, 2011

To echo the other hundreds of positive reviews for these sandals, they simply are the best and could literally be the last pair of shoes you would ever need (unless of course you go to a wedding or something). Go anywhere, do anything, and super comfortable sandals. Especially perfect for paddling around the boundary waters.

My Most Comfortable Shoe
August 06, 2011

This is my second pair of Newport H2 sandals. I bought my first pair about 5 years ago and the only thing that wore out on them were the laces, which Keen replaced free of charge. They really stand behind their product. I am 5'10", 155# and have chronic foot pain. Keen shoes and sandals are the only shoes I can wear pain-free. The Newport sandal is the most versatile and I wear them most of the time.

Sandals are very comfortable and cool in this Oklahoma heat wave. I enjoy the feel and fit very much. Have noticed that alot of people are wearing them.

Great stuff
July 28, 2011

Purchased H2 shoes for working on the boat in and out of water alot, hold up well, dry fast, good traction, non marking, fit great, look goo, great shoes and comfortable all day long.

Excellent Sandals
July 25, 2011

Extremely comfortable. They feel solid and have great toe protection. The bungee cord closure feels secure. These are my new go to shoes/sandals for the rest of the summer.

Keen Newport H20's
July 22, 2011

I received these shoes and took them on a 30-mile AT hike in North Carolina. They are well designed as hiking sandals. The terrain was rough and they offered better protection that either Tevas or Chacos. They did stretch a bit when wet, so it may be wise to consider a half size smaller than usual. Most disturbing, the outer stitching came undone on both shoes. I intend to exchange these for another pair to see whether this problem was an anomaly or is a serious defect. If the latter is the case, then these shoes are NOT suited for serious, sustained outdoor activity in rough terrain, and I will go back to using trail runners.

July 22, 2011

Was just what I needed. Used it on the Chicago to Mac sailboat race. Great traction, comfortable and dried quickly. I have a wide foot with a high arch. Width is fine, but is difficult to get on, even with the laces fully loosened. Order 1 size larger than your normal as they seem to run small. Other than having to take some time to get them on, they've been great.

A perfect fit
July 15, 2011

My newport h2s arrived about a week ago and I think they are a great product. They are a perfect fit and were comfortable right out of the box - no break in period needed. They've already served me well in the great outdoors....strongly recommended and definitely worth the money. One thing to keep in mind...I normally wear a 10.5 or 11, but after trying them on in a store I went with 11.5. In other words I would order a little above your normal size for a good fit.

Love them
July 09, 2011

I love these so much I now have 3 pairs in different colors. They are comfortable enough that I wear them like sneakers in the summer. I purchased my first pair 3 years ago and they still look great.

Great!!
July 09, 2011

These are the most comfortable sandals ever! Great in and out of water, great protection, and very cool to wear. They are a little spendy, but well worth it!

all around active sandal

My husband loves these. This summer he has worn them hiking, sailing and even walking in Paris. They dry quickly and never loose their stretch. They pack light and seem to retain no odor. Great gift!

What is left to say...
June 26, 2011

These are the best shoes that I have EVER owned! Given the opportunity I would wear them everyday, they are that comfortable. Keen's quality and customer service is amazing. Laces on my pair gave out about a year ago after 7 years....it was not wear that did the damage...rather my 150lb dog. NO problem, one call and I had a new set of laces in days. I love both KEEN and ALTREC. Do yourself a favor order them NOW.

Great sandals so far!
June 26, 2011

I have yet to really put these sandals to the test on the river, but I expect they will be great. I am pleased with the protection they provide my toes. They also are fairly wide (I have size 9), which suits me fine because I have a "bunionette" on my right foot (the distal 5th metatarsal at the MTP joint [the base of my little toe] bulges laterally: see the accompanying photo). This typically gives me problems with new footwear, but not with these Keens, I am happy to say! My friends who own Keens have complained that in the past they really stank if they were not kept clean. I have not experienced that yet, and I think Keen has tried to address this problem with new materials. We'll see.... Anyway, I am glad I bought them. I think you will be, too.

Great Sandal
June 25, 2011

These Keen sandals are the best shoes I have ever purchased for the river. Great protection, heavy duty, and very universal. The only bad thing is the price, pretty expensive. Other then that I would recommend these to anyone camping, rafting, etc.
