5 Stars Great Sandals
Just as advertised. Great fit. I’ve been wearing them everyday since I’ve taken them out of the box.
3 Stars Sizing isn’t consistent
Newport H2 Full Sandal -Mens
I recently purchased my second pair of Keen newport sandals. The first pair I got were awesome right out the box. I wear them all the time. So I decided to purchase a second pair. Same size different color. They don’t even feel close to the other ones. I’m wearing a pair of socks with them trying to get them broken in. Seems that Keen is not consistent with their sizing. Hope they start feeling good soon or they’ll end up in my wife’s annual yard sale.
5 Stars Very Pleased!
Bought this for the “urban jungle” of NYC. I’ve been wearing them almost every day for the past month and they are very comfortable. They seem to be well made and are holding up well. I’m very pleased with the purchase and would recommend them.

I have had my H2 sandals for over 3 years, and have put well over 1K miles on mine. Around town, in the water, and on the trail. They have not worn out or fallen apart, or lost color. I did have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seams on the fabric where the side panels meet the sole, maybe 100 miles ago, but after 1K miles, I guess a little seam repair is more than reasonable. I just bought another pair, on sale, but they are still in the box cause the old ones are still going strong.
4 Stars Newport H2
A lot of people say it feels a half size too small but I think it feels true to
both size and width. I received these shoes and was pleased to find that there
isn’t any break-in time. I have a job where I walk around for 8 hours straight;
I wore these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day.
There is an adjustable elastic cord that can be tightened, but I think the shoes
are more comfortable if they are left a little loose. I had them tightened one
day and noticed a pinching sensation after a couple hours of use. Another reason
to wear them loose is that it makes it easier to put them back on if your feet
are wet or sweaty
They feel like they have very good traction but I’m not walking through rivers
with slippery rocks so it isn’t the best test.
Because these are closed-toe sandals, it creates a problem when small rocks,
sand, or other objects get into the shoe. I found that I can’t just wiggle my
foot around to get rid of the nuisance, I need to take the shoe completely off
and dump it out. Another thing I noticed about these shoes is that it dried out
the back of my heels. I only had to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and
I have not had a problem since, but it is something to be aware of.
Overall this is a great sandal and I don’t have to worry about sticks or other
objects stabbing my toes because of the closed-toe feature. I have owned these
for about a month now and they don’t show any signs of wear so I expect them to
hold up for a long time. I would not recommend them for walking around on the
beach because sand and rocks get trapped underneath your feet and up in the toe
area, but for walking through rivers and as a casual shoe these are great. One
last problem that I just thought of is that they aren’t comfortable for standing around with minimal movement for long periods of time. It’s possibly just my feet, but anyone interested in these should try them on and stand around for a while to see how they feel.
