Keen Newport H2 Sandal - Men's

Newport H2 Sandal
December 10, 2012

What can I say, these are a great pair of sandals. I purchased my first pair in May of this year at twice the price I paid for my second pair from Altrec - we may be going into winter but I couldn't turn down this deal. Everything is great about this sandal except for protection because, well, you can only get so much protection from a water sandal. But I must say the toe guard works really well. In any event, for what these words are worth, buy a pair - you won't be disappointed

Most comfortable ever
June 07, 2011

Received these shoes today and wore them sightseeing in NY. They were the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. My wife wore her new ones as well, and she is purchasing another spare pair today. Absolutely an asset to my wardrobe. Will recommend to my friends without a doubt.

I finally listened to my wife.
June 13, 2011

My wife has been wearing KEEN footwear for several years. I tried other brands of outdoor footwear and her KEEN's always outlasted my brands. Finally she convinced me. I should have listened to her in the beginning. I really like the support and comfort. I'm hooked!

Great Hybrid Sandal
June 16, 2011

I've never been a sandal affectionado because the types of activities I engage in are too hazardous to the feet and too hard to keep most sandals on. Keen was thinking of me when they designed these sandals. They're cool to the feet but provide protection and steep climb traction. I'll wear these out, if it's possible.

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.

Great shoes, Great service
June 10, 2011

I've been wearing Keens for over 5 years now and will continue to wear them daily. They are the most comfortable shoes I own and are very durable. Altrec delivered them to me on time and gave me a good price. I'll be back!

Mr. Flat Foot is Happy
June 28, 2012

Almost bought another sandal, then read the reviews on this one. Well, raving reviews do not always mean the product is right for you. But I ordered a pair, put them on and then promptly ordered a pair for my wife. We love them. Walked in them all around Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon. We had boots for serious hikes, but wore these sandals everywhere else. Would buy them again in a flash. Also, Mr. Flat Foot (even my new doctor was surprised when he saw how flat they were!) is very happy with the comfort and fit. (I had to abandon another expensive water sandal because they were not at all comfortable.)

Keen Sandels
July 23, 2012

I am totally pleased and happy with my new Keen newport H2's. Just walked a 5k charity walk for the first time I wore them! They gave great support and provided excellent ventilation.

Men's Newport H2 Sandal
November 07, 2011

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!!!

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.

May 28, 2012

I absolutely love these sandals. I bought them for a vacation where I was in the water, hiking, and climbing. They performed well in all aspects. The width of the sandal and the low profile helped me to feel stable while on slippery granite. The rubber toe was great for wading in the water to protect my toes and they worked well for scrambling over boulders. The nylon and neoprene took less then a day to dry, but they were quite comfortable even when wet. If there was anything negative to say it was that little pebbles/sand would, on occasion, slip into the sandals, but they were fairly easy to remove.

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.

Comfortable and Cool
June 19, 2011

Comfy and cool. A step above your flip flops for sure. These sandals go on easy and are cool when trying to beat the summer heat. The sole is thick and provides a lot of cushioning.

Comfort out of the box
June 11, 2011

I had been looking at these sandals for a while and pulled the trigger for the purchase when my size went on sale. I was satisfied with the look and quality right out of the box. When I put them on I knew they were the right choice. Within an hour of putting them on they felt like I had owned them forever and had formed to my feet......so comfortable. I wore them all day today to a college super regional baseball game (Go Gators) in 90+ degree weather. Once again sooooo comfortable. I can't wait to wear them in wet weather to see their performance then. That test will come soon enough as I purchased these to pair with my boots on a backpacking trip to the Tetons in Sept. They will be used for short day hikes and I am certain they will be perfect.

June 14, 2012

Very nice Sandal! First off fit...fit is great. I am 5'8" and 175 #. Almost always wear a 9.5 and am right on the edge of being in a "wide" shoe. These are perfect. They have a wider toe box than most other sandals and are extremely comfortable. They stay on very well even when wet. I love the extra protection over the toes. The construction seems very good, I hope the durability is as good as the looks! So far very pleased!

Best sandals out there!
September 11, 2012

I've had several pair of Keen sandals over the years and I still keep coming back for more...they're the best I've found out there!!! Most comfortable and wear very well! Good protection around rocks in and out of water. Can get debris easily lodged between foot and sandal when in loose gravel or sediment...but that's the price you pay for an open shoe!

Awesome!
March 15, 2012

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.

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.

Finally in Style
June 09, 2012

I am retiring the old flip flops in favor of these sporty Keen's. Kids said: "Dad, that's not your style". I now know I am finally in style...plus, these provide better arch support than my old 'flat" flip flops. Can't wait to get them to the beach.

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.

Great sandall - very comfortable
January 03, 2013

I bought these just before my Christmas trip to Key West. I wore them almost the whole trip and did a lot of walking around. They were very comfortable. The only issue I had was one cooler day when I wore socks with them, the toe area did not seem "tall" enough and my big toe rubbed on the top. That night I inserted a golf ball in that area and it seems to have expanded it slightly making a perfect fit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Real Kickers!
January 17, 2012

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.

Comfortable, versatile water sandal
August 23, 2012

The Newport H2 is surprisingly comfortable and didn't chafe my skin at all. It offers good toe protection if you're using it around rocks or oyster bars. Though it's a water sports shoe, it's attractive enough to be worn as an everyday sandal. As others have noted, you should order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear and it should fit fine. My only complaint is that it doesn't dry very fast for a "waterproof" shoe -- at least not when you leave it on a porch in humid Florida. Let it dry inside in the drier air conditioning or put in in the sun.

very good
May 27, 2011

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.

Perfect for an easy hike
March 18, 2013

Took these with me on my trip to Alaska as my do just about everything shoe (driving, walking, tide pooling, hiking etc). Only thing this shoe isn't good for is off trail - where i switched to more rugged hiking boots. They are great in the wet or dry and just feel very comfortable. The toe box rubber adds for some protection so you aren't stubbing your toe like in other sandal type shoes.

Close to perfect
December 11, 2011

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 for wacky feet
June 13, 2012

My feet are significantly different in size (both width and length). These sandals allow for individualized adjustment for each foot. They are sturdy, comfortable, and even help hide the difference!

It's really a great Sandal
July 22, 2012

This was my 2nd pair of Keen shoes and they fit nicely and dry quickly when they get wet. They dont slip off when you submerge your feet in the water also. It's really a great Sandal. I like this Sandal.

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.

Fits like it always did, great sport shoes
April 08, 2013

I choose the size of the Keens that I was replacing, and the fit was perfect. It is the same size as the hiking boots and other shoes I wear: 11. The Keens sandals really kick butt in all matters of sport. On the sailboat, they grip like crazy and protect the feet from boat bites. Would be nice if there were more heel protection. On the beach and in the water, they do gather sand very easily, so expect to be emptying them occasionally. On a moderate hiking trail, they will get you through. They will pick up a small stone. Keeping them cinched tightly helps with this, and is important for stability on uneven ground. No ankle support of course. Over rough terrain, they will get you by but are no substitute for boots. They do get a bit "hot" temp-wise on the soles. When wet, they are a nice cooler for the feet! Takes a good couple hours in hot sunshine to dry. Overnight in humid camp, will not dry. Overnight in hotel room, almost dry. Pricing seems high, but I guess its a matter of supply and demand. I always wish the tread would last longer in shoes, but I guess to maintain the performance of the grip, they need to use the softer rubber.

Keen Newport H2
June 28, 2012

I purchased these shoes to wear while I am on overnight canoe and kayaking trips. I needed something that was comfortable, quick drying, and could handle light hiking. These shoes came highly recommended to me by my brother-in-law and they lived up to his praises. They are extremely comfortable and even though they are a little wide for my foot they fit great. They are a little tight getting them on so I can see why people would say that they are difficult to put on when wet. I didn't rate them a 5 on durability because I have only had them for a week and that is not long enough to determine how well they are made (even though I don't expect to have any issues).

Really nice sandals
June 12, 2012

I purchased these Keens after I thought I had lost my first pair of Keens. Of course, I found my first pair a couple of days after I made this purchase, but when these H2s came, I had no regrets. These are much more comfortable than my first pair that have closed heels and tend to cause blisters on my heels. I like the H2s because of their rugged soles - I feel comfortable on most surfaces. Keen is correct, these sandals do run a half size small (I'm a 9 1/2 and their 10 fit me perfectly). I also like these better than my first pair because there aren't any insoles to get sweaty. I bought the gray and "Bombay Brown," which, as the site pic shows, is more like orange. Great on walks, no rubbing or chafing. I highly recommend if you're looking for a durable waterproof sandal.

Keen Sandals

Runs a size small
April 06, 2011

These are great spring and summer sandals that run a full size small. I am a size 11 but had to order a size 12 for fit. They are made of a anti microbial rubber but they will still smell as you wear them with bare feet. Be prepared to wash them to keep the smell minimal.

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.

GREAT SANDALS
December 07, 2011

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 !!!

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.

hydrophilic comfort
August 08, 2012

I really like my Keen Newport H2 sandals. I wear a size 16 and was pleasantly surprised to find them in my size. The fit is true to size. They provide excellent toe protection, breathe well and are great for wading in the water and in my canoe. They dry out quickly and are easy on, easy off.

November 21, 2011

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.

Great Hikers!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Solid sandal but not for me
December 08, 2012

The Keen sandal is a great piece of footwear- let me say this isn't a bashing of this shoe. The problem is that the webbing ribs on the outside of the sandal coincide just imperfectly with my little toes and when wearing for a week or more (which I have done a few times) catches the small toenail unless clipped to an absolute nubbin (when was the last time you saw THAT word). I have unfortunately had to switch sandals because otherwise i love em. They are a little heavier than most which is mostly good- they are tough, durable and protective. It also means in a hot/humid environment (say, Brazil), it is tough to get them to dry out, producing some inhuman smells at times- but they are also easy to wash. So there you go. Try a pair on and see if the little toe area is just at the wrong place. If not- you're golden!

January 10, 2012

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!

Everything you will ever need in a sandal
April 21, 2011

I spend a lot of my summer constantly in and out of the water for both work and fun. On the trail, on the bike, in the canoe, camping, or just hanging around, the Keen Newport H2 is the top sandal for everything you would ever want. And nice enough for casual Friday's in the office, to boot! The sandal stays secure and keeps your foot stable in all conditions (think wet rocks, beach football, etc), easy to get in and out of, and has ample room without feeling overly clunky. If you have wide feet like I do, you will love them even more. I used to be a Teva fan (10 years ago), but the extra toe protection and unbelievable comfort of the Keens has made me a convert. My daughter calls me "tiger feet" because of the permanent tan stripes that have resulted from wearing them. I can get about 5 or 6 months of everyday-action out of a pair, then the foot bed seems to "break down" a bit too much and becomes uncomfortable (I pronate like a duck). When the temps dip below 60, I simply toss on a pair of light wool socks and get another month of Keen-wearing. Yes they're a little pricey for a shoe you can see through, but if you value comfort, durability, and functionality, buy these sandals without a second thought.

Exactly what I wanted!
April 01, 2011

I purchased my Keen Newport H2s for a trip to Europe this summer. I will be doing a lot of walking and these will be the only pair of shoes I'm taking. I would normally wear running shoes but always feel under-dressed when going out to eat in Europe. My wife has had her H2s for over a year now and based on her experience I decided a pair would be perfect for me. I wanted something that would be comfortable with socks in the cooler north and also ready for the beach in the south. I have been wearing them around casually now for a month to get used to the feel. I am very pleased with the construction, fit and color (I went with the Bison - looks like chocolate to me). I wear a 9 regular and they are very comfortable while wearing light-weight socks.

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.

Great value

I bought these for my 15 year old Boy Scout who just loves these sandals. They give support but breathe. They allow him to hike without the weight of some boots. Great for the summer so his feet aren't too hot. They can even get wet without any worries.

Great Altrec Service

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.

these are pretty comfortable and durable shoe/sandal. i like them to wear during the summer as i usually do not wear tennis/running shoes as i do not like my feet to sweat and smell my shoe up.

Awesome!

These sandals are great. Wore them while hiking/rappelling on a recent trip to Mexico. Did quite well in rocky terrain and wet terrain. In areas of high dust small pebbles did make their way through the holes. This was slightly annoying but no big deal. The soles were rugged and stood up to all kinds of abuse.

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!

Best sandals out there!

I've had several pair of Keen sandals over the years and I still keep coming back for more...they're the best I've found out there!!! Most comfortable and wear very well! Good protection around rocks in and out of water. Can get debris easily lodged between foot and sandal when in loose gravel or sediment...but that's the price you pay for an open shoe!

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.

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.

Great sandal!

Sandal is great for various purposes. They can just as easily be used for urban walking as light trail hiking. Great to wear by the water as they dry quickly and provide good traction when wet. Fits true to size. Love this color. Excellent comfort.

Great Sandals!

I bought these sandals for bike commuting in the summer, but find I wear them all the time. These are the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. The fit is great and true to size, I love the toe protection on these sandals. . When and if these ever wear out I'll be sure to purchase another pair. Don't let the price scare you off, they're worth every penny.

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.

Very comfortable and durable

I bought theses sandals for my trip to Thailand and they more than served their purpose. I wore them hiking in the Jungle, exploring Bangkok and relaxing on the beach. The toe protection they offer is great when your hiking in the jungle and being sandals your feet are still able to breathe in the heat. I plan on ordering a second pair.

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.

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.

love the keens yet again
