Keen Women's Newport H2 Sandal

Worked on Bright Angel, rafting and street
May 10, 2012

These shoes took a lot of abuse and are still in mint condition and very comfy. Wore them in Grand Canyon hiking portion of whitewater rafting trip. Hiked Bright Angel trail (4,500 + elevation gain) where there was a lot of mud and some snow. Now I wear them with dresses on the street. They went in the Colorado River. I didn't get any rocks in my feet and they dried well despite cold rainy weather. Altrec was great about getting them to me fast. What's not to like?

perfect
May 03, 2012

I love my Keen Newport sandals and would own every color offered if I could afford to. They fit my foot perfectly and are SO comfortable. I wear mine wth socks and without, depending on the weather. When they get soiled, I wash them in the washing machine and they come out like brand new. Perfect.

Best Shoes Ever
May 03, 2012

I own 4 pairs of these Keen's. They are the most comfortable shoe right out of the box. I have never suffered a blister or discomfort when wearing these sandals. They are great for walking, hiking, running, or at the beach. They are so well made and sturdy. I have had one pair for over 10yrs and they almost look brand new. But the amazing thing is the price that is being offered on this site. Typically these sandals sell for well over $100. My suggestion is to buy them in every color!

What a great sandal/shoe for summer! I have flat feet and this sandal has wonderful support to my nonexistent arches! Glad to have found a shoe that's comfy AND stylish!

H2 Sandal Rocks
April 24, 2012

Bought a pair of H2 sandals and love them. I'm 5'4" and weight 140 lbs and usually wear 7.5 but ordered an 8. Ordering a half size up was perfect. Wore them on a 4 mile walk right out of the box to break them in but didn't need andy breaking. No blisters,they are very light weight weight.

Good summer shoe
April 10, 2012

I bought these for camping/light hiking and I think they'll do the trick. I usually wear an 8 and bought an 8.5 which fits well. My narrow feet mean quite a bit of cinching of the neoprene liner, but I like that the toe box is still wide so my feet can breath. Pricey, but I think they'll last.

comfortable when dry...but..
April 09, 2012

I was out to my usual beach/trail walking yesterday, and was excited to try out my new Newport sandals ( I happened to live in Newport Beach^^). I have an average width feet but the front room of the sandals were too wide to the uncomfortable point when walking the trail. Then I walked down to the beach, walked in the shallow tide pool. Now my toes are totally lost inside the sandals. As they slipped inside of the sandals, they were stressed that my legs were tense. It was worse than walking barefoot. After I had 45 minute walk on the beach with wet sandals, they were semi dry. The fabric part touches the skin still very wet. I don't think it's good idea to wear these in wet condition. I will wear socks for just trail walking next time to see how these feel.

Keens - comfortable and durable
March 23, 2012

I wear a 7.5 in most shoes and the 7.5 in Keens fit me perfectly. My husband and sons all wear Keens and this is my second pair. My sons aged 11 and 12 get about a year of wear out of their Keens before we need to size up. The shoes are comfortable and durable. I simply throw them in the wash and dry in the sun when needed. They wash up looking like new. When outgrown, the shoes are then recycled to family and friends and look practically new!

Width
March 03, 2012

These shoes are very wide in the toe box. If you have narrow feet like my wife (for whom these shoes were purchased), recommend trying the next 1/2 smaller size, there seems to be enough room past the toes to do that.

Women's Newport H2 Sandal - Rock!
January 24, 2012

These are my second pair of Keen H2 sandals - I love them! I've gone from hiking and swimming to walks along the beach. These shoes are great if you want to stay cool in the summer sun going here and there but you can run along the beach and not worry about your shoes getting wet - they protect your feet/toes - or you can go boating, tubing, etc... and walk out dry in a short period of time. If they get dirty, just toss them in the washer and put in the sun to dry - they look like new, just out of the box! They are comfortable and true to size. I wouldn't trade these hard working, casual sandals for any other!

Very comfortable and durable
November 28, 2011

I would definitely recommend these. I wore them all summer for casual, hiking (not too rocky areas) and just around town with friends. They have been through a lot of abuse and still look great, still comfortable and I believe they will last me years. I am normally an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. Found them to be very true to size.

Great sandals to live in during the summer
October 21, 2011

These are great sandals and I have 5 pairs in practically every color. They are easier to wear throughout the day and are so cute I get away wearing them to work too. I get so many compliments and Keen has really come out with some cool colors in the past 2 years. I love the wide foot bed especially when it gets real hot and your feet swell. They are also waterproof and wash up quite nicely in the washing machine. Don't hesitate in purchasing Keens, they are well made and worth the $$$.

Oldest dearest sandal friend
October 01, 2011

Years ago, I saw and tried on a pair of bright red Keens which I then bought on the spot even in that loud color--because it was the last pair in the store--it was the Newport sandal model. Thus began my love affair with Keen shoes. I own lots of different Keens now and I still like this Newport model best of all. I wear Keen's dressier shoes to work, but this model has the most comfortable arch support and strapping design for me. I can wear a size 7.5 in some shoes but I take an 8 in most Keens.

Love these sandals
September 19, 2011

I purchased these sandals primarily for kayaking/canoeing. They are very comfortable. They protect my feet from the unknown river bottoms! The absolute best thing is the superb grip when stepping out of the water on wet slippery rocks. They increased my level of confidence while on the river!

GREAT SHOE!!!
August 22, 2011

I love this shoe, it rubs a little on my pinky toes but the bit it great and they are very comfortable shoes! i wear a size 8.5 and they fit perfectly, didn't have to worry about them running too big/small. I would totally recommend them to anyone, i actually bought my sister-in-law a pair too and she has a lot of trouble with her ankles.

Love love these sandals
August 07, 2011

I now own 2 pairs in two differen color (red and blue). They are really great sandals. I were it everywhere, even for hiking and swimming in the lake. They are durable and comfortable. Do need to buy a 1/2 size bigger to fit.

Best sandal ever
July 29, 2011

i love these sandals! Color is perfect, fit is superb! I have a lot of trouble with my feet and my Keens keep me from pronating and from having pain due to my plantar fascitis. I can put these on and go all day in comfort, which is of the ultimate importance when one has two little boys to keep up with! I also bought the Keen Venice h2 and find the Newport to have better arch support and cushioning in the footbed. I'm keeping both pairs becausei wanted a blue pair of sandals and the Venice Raya Blue is striking. I will also add that my mother owns both sandals and actually thinks the Venice is superior in arch support and comfort. Try them both on!

I want to be buried in these shoes
July 16, 2011

Love these shoes, they are the best ... I want them in every color. They are comfortable with or without socks, hiking in hot or rainy weather. good for walking in water and they dry out so quickly. Also, had good experience purchasing from Altrc - very good delivery time.

Rugged Sandals
July 16, 2011

Having owned several Keens, I opted for the Keen Newport H2 for our two-week road trip to Yellowstone. These sandals saw all sorts of conditions and kept my feet comfortable. Imagine hiking three miles in rafting sandals with no discomfort! I love these Keens. Other than rocks getting in, (they are sandals after all), I couldn't hope for better. My husband just bought a pair of Newport H2's and won't take them off! One thing- even with the anti-microbial footbed, these sandals get funky with heavy outdoor use. Just throw them in the washing machine on delicate cycle!

June 30, 2011

these are the BEST summer shoes for hiking, walking, anything! Just replaced a pair I had for 8 years. I wouldn't even think of thinking to buy any other shoe.

terrific hiking sandal
June 18, 2011

I saw this sandal worn by our hiking guide in New Zealand. We wore hiking boots and she wore this Keen sandal. I decided that as soon as summer came I would order a pair for walking and hiking the neighborhood and trails. My Newport H2 sandals arrived yesterday. They fit perfectly and I wore them right out of the box the first day. I have a wider foot and read that the Newport has a wider toe box. I also ordered a half size larger than I normally wear. Great fit! Great sandal!

Keen's are the BEST
June 16, 2011

These are absolutely the most comfortable shoe ever put on my feet. I give them a "10". I now have 3 pair of Keens & each pair is great. I've gotten many compliments on my Keens & I would recommend this footwear for looks as well as comfort.

Great Shoe
June 12, 2011

This shoe is very comfortable. As far as durability goes, it is showing some good wear after using them exclusively for a weekend of camping and kayaking. They seem to protect pretty well, except for the little specs of this and that that tend to sneak in. Overall it is an excellent shoe.

June 08, 2011

Really great shoes! Opened the box and had them on for hours! I am always outside and in the water and these are perfect! I don't know that they run a whole size small, but definately a half, so keep that in mind. Honestly though, if everyone had these shoes the world would be a better place! Love them!

great purchace
June 07, 2011

I got the shoes in the mail yesterday. I put them on and they fit perfect. I just came back from a two mile walk and they were very comfortable, no complaints

Most comfortable shoes!
June 07, 2011

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I usually have trouble finding shoes since I have wide , problem feet from standing on them all day long. As soon as I put these sandals on, I felt like I was walking on a cushion and I haven't taken them off since. My husband owns a pair so I decided to try them myself. I love them so much I am definitely going to have to buy another pair. I like that I will be able to get them wet too! I ordered them in the shoe size I always wear, a size 7 and they were a perfect fit. I would definitely reccommend them and was happy to find them at Altrec.

A Great Summer Good for everything sandal!
June 05, 2011

I just purchased my Keen's in preparation for a long term trip overseas. After wearing them for a few days I couldn't be happier. They are very comfortable, easy to get on/off, quick to dry and perfect for hiking, boating, and everyday use. The sizes do run a little small though, so I would recommend buying a half size up. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone needing a good all purpose, sturdy and high quality sandal.

Awesome River Shoe
May 23, 2011

I recently went on a river trip and I took my sandals with me. They were great for getting splashed by rapids and while getting in and out of boats. I even wore them on a hike or two and the toe cap definitely protected my toes from rocks and plants. Even while wet they still didn't rub blisters on my feet. They are even great shoes to walk around in all day.

Great Summer Shoe
May 20, 2011

I purchased a pair of H2 Newport sandals for myself and both of my children for our summer adventures. I am a school teacher so I wanted something that could stand up to all of the fun I'm going to squeeze into the next 3 months. I haven't taken these things off since they arrived. I had been having terrible pain in my left foot for nearly a month due to "work shoes" and the Keen sandal is like a gentle hug for my foot all day long. I can wear it to work (for my last week) and go straight to the park all afternoon without having to change a thing!

Great Water Shoes
April 30, 2011

My wife loves these shoes. She likes to use them at the lake, beach, and the hot springs in CO. She can walk for long periods of time and her feet don't hurt. She also likes them for hiking. They are really good for hiking because of the toe cap and they are very durable. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a good water shoe.

April 17, 2011

I love these shoes they are so comfortable and versatile. I did price comparisons on the Keens and Altrec had the best prices and selection, and free shipping on most orders.

Great shoe
April 12, 2011

A friend of mine had the first generation of theses shoe's and I didn't like the way they felt on my feet. Therefore, I was a little hesitant about getting these, but from the first moment i put them on I fell in love with them. Don't wait order your pair today. :)

Keep making this product!
April 09, 2011

I am now on my 2nd pair of Newport H2 sandals as a backup for the 1st pair which has lasted through 2 seasons of working outdoors @ a nursery and many kayak trips... The construction is perfect for durability - toes protected by a cap, which has saved be from rocky launch sites, and the shoe is amazingly comfortable - wide toe box and yet snug fit with heel strap - a design perfect for my foot that is wider in the front than the heel. The neoprene dries quickly and the padding makes it one of the most comfortable shoes ever on my feet!

Wide Comfy sandals
April 02, 2011

These sandals are great and fit true to size for Keens. That means that they are extra wide compared to normal width shoes/sandals. Only issue with the shoes if your using them for hiking is that rocks and pebbles do get stuck under your feet sometimes and you have to take the sandal off to get them out. They conform nicely to wide feet and are get for taking into the water also. For those that are looking, these shoes also work great if you need to wear orthotics for arch support because they keep the orthotics in place. There a bit pricey, but on sale there a great value.

Best outdoor sandal.
March 16, 2011

I am a rural South Dakota walker and hiker. I read the reviews before my purchase. The shoe is true to size for me. I avoid shoes that are made narrow. Once the laces are cinched to the tension I like, they don't come undone. I live in rural South Dakota. I go from home, to shopping, boating, camping, and long outdoor walks/ hikes in these shoes. But I opt for my trail running shoes when I run on the gravel road. When I run on the gravel road bits of gravel get kicked up into my H2 sandal. I would have to stop and pull it off to get the gravel out. These shoes are absolutely waterproof and dry out nicely. These are super comfy. Great outdoor shoe for spring, summer and autumn. I wear size 9 and I purchased size 9. I would recommend these for my friends. There is a color for everybody. I picked striking purple and grey.

Great all-around adventure shoe
February 01, 2011

Have been a big fan of Keen sandals for many years and these are an outstanding all-around adventure shoe. Great when you need to pack light because you can use them for hiking, biking, kayaking and more. The slate black/canyon (brown) color looked better than expected, but I should have ordered a half size larger. They seem to run a bit smaller than my old Keens.

Great arch, comfort!
January 31, 2011

This is the shoe I've been looking for. Great styling and a comfortable arch. So many sandals have no support in them. This one delivers! I don't know how any walks around in flip-flops all day with out knee or back pain. These support both very well. It's 18 degrees around here and I'm walking around the house like it's 80 outside! I'm about to order another pair for my husband. Also, great customer service. So knowledgeable!

January 30, 2011

Was informed before purchase that shoe runs small so had good fit when ordering a half larger size. Great quality & very comfortable. Easy to put on & then easy closure. Great for wet or dry.

I'm sorry I didn't buy these a long time ago
January 28, 2011

Being plagued with foot problems due to fallen arches, and having wide feet to begin with, I've been a Keen fan for years. After my previous pair of (non-Keen) water shoes bit the dust over the summer, I needed something for my upcoming trip to New Zealand. It was really a pleasant surprise to see that Keen even offered them. I just received them and I'm thrilled. They fit great and feel like a dream. I can't wait to try them out in the water! Under ideal circumstances, I wear an 8 1/2, but with my wider feet, I usually wind up in a 9. I ordered these in 9 and they fit perfectly. The construction is far superior to my other water shoes, and they will protect my feet so much better too. Beach and kayaking, here I come! Being washable is a huge benefit, since I expect that they will be getting muddy at some point. I also want to mention that I did contact customer service with some questions, and they were great. I will definitely order from Altrec again.

Keen Comfort
January 21, 2011

This is a great sandal that is sturdy and still keeps your feet cool in hot weather. They are perfect for walking, light hiking, bicycling and just about anything that has me on my feet for long periods. I bought a size 6 Keen Newport H2 in Black. My usual shoe size is a 5 1/2, so I opted to go a half size larger as has been suggested. The fit is great, avoids the toe-squeezing syndrome that I have suffered in the past with some sneakers and other closed toe shoes. I was looking for something with good toe room and these Keens do the trick. This is my second pair of Keen Newports, so I guess I'm on a roll. The two pairs of Keen sandals will be my primary footwear for an upcoming trip to Europe. I will be doing a lot of sightseeing and want something comfortable for long days on my feet in museums and in towns - and for impromptur hikes in the coutryside. I can wear these Keen Newport sandals with socks or barefeet, which provides flexibility for changing weather conditions and a variety of different activities during the day.
