KEEN Newport H2 Sandal - Women's
Even in a well-maintained boat, the chances of getting your feet wet are extremely good. If you're getting in and out of a kayak or canoe, there's no avoiding it. Enter the Keen Newport H2 Sandal. The Newport H2 protects your toes from rigging and rocks, and its sole grips deck and ground without leaving marks. The fully synthetic hydrophobic uppers guarantee your feet will feel dry minutes after stepping out of the water. The Newport H2's hybrid shoe/sandal design breathes better than a full shoe and protects your foot better than a sandal. The unique anatomical outsole gives superb traction and support, and an anti-bacterial footbed controls moisture and keeps the stank under control.
Bottom Line: The sea is a harsh master, so bring good shoes.

Which, trust me, is a miracle for me. These fit my feet just right, I bought a 7 with no issues. Also bought a pair for my daughter (who at 5 is ultra-fussy about shoes); between the two of them I've barely taken them off. You should see the groovy tan lines I've acquired ...

These shoes are perfect to walk long distances in the heat. There is nothing like these shoes. Each pair is perfect and gives support to the feet unlike any other regular shoe.

These shoes caused blisters the first few times I wore them. As for the sizing, I usually wear an 8 1/2 but I bought a 9 1/2 in these. I also found that the colour in the image was nothing like the actual colour of the shoe. I wouldn't recommend buying these as shoes for the beach. Once the sand gets in, it's not easy to get back out without taking off the shoe. I do however like the shoe and would consider buying it again.

I love my H2 sandals. Living in Florida I do a lot of shelling & they work out great! I generally wear an orthotic in my shoes due to a problem with my left arch, but with these sandals the strapping is all the support I need. Am looking to buy another Newport H2 in a different color.

I've been wanting a pair of these forever and couldn't pass up the great deal. Very comfy, but did have to break them in a little. Buy a 1/2 size up to give you plenty of room, even if worn without socks.

Was happy with the fit--comfortable for someone who needs a narrow heel and a wide toe-box, and who wants both ventilation and a protected toe.

Having a narrow foot, I found the sandal just too floppy and wide. Actually it was half an inch too wide. Ask for a style that is more suitable if you wear an A width!

Adequate for the job - just not "my job"... the shoe - coupled with my high instep did not bode well together. Squeezed my foot to "numb"... dang. Love the look, the build, the wide toe box - just won't work... Return service was fantastic. Credit immediately upon receipt of the shoes...
Would order through this site - just not these Keens...

These shoes are awesomely comfortable and very true to size. I am a perfect 7.5, and they fit perfectly. The toe is roomy, but not too wide. They breathe really well, and offer support and spring. I am a total cheapskate when it comes to shoes, so spending this much on a pair of sandals was a bit of a stretch for me, but they are worth EVERY PENNY!

Your serice was great...the shoes however, aren't true to size. I wear a 6.5, ordered the 7 figuring they'd be a loose fit. WRONG!!! They supposed to be a snug fit, but these were like trying to get my feet into a childs shoe. Too bad too, as I need a new pair of wet/dry hikers. One other minor detail- I ordered Navy and got turquoise. Ok if you like the blue spectrum but a bit of a surprise when I opened the box.

I have worn these hiking, shopping and fishing and find them to be a great all-around sandal! I was worried they'd be too hot with the closed in toe, but they are way airier than hikers and they protect you from stubbed toes! Love them! Even got my husband a pair of Keen's!

I have hiked down narrow red rock canyons in Zion's National Park 3 times with these shoes. They have done a great job of preventing me from stubbing my toes on river rocks and well as given me some grip to climb over, under, around and though the sand stone. At the same time still my Keen Newport's handle getting wet drenched in the river and still look presentable at a picnic.

Great sandals, although they don't run quite as small as some reviews on this site have suggested (IMO). I ordered a full size larger than normal, based on other reviews, but definitely could have gotten away with just a half size larger. Still, they are fabulous and incredibly comfortable!!

I was so excited to get a new pair of Newport H2s because my feet are so happy in these but I'm wiping away the tears now as I go to get a return authorization and pay freight to have them shipped back. The color is not even close to the image pictured and I wouldn't have anything to wear this light turquoise color with. I shouldn't have strayed from Zappos... free freight both ways and their images are more accurate! Newports get 5 stars in my book, tho...

This is my 7th pair of keens. I've got sneakers, work shoes, sandals, flip flips.....This specific style needs an extra 1/2 size up. I didn't believe the other reviews. All my Keens are the same size. Then I ordered the kiwi in 7.5 and they didn't fit! Searched all over for an 8 and finally found them. Keens! Way to go!

I love Keens, my only problem was that the color in the picture was not the same color as the actual shoes. I'm a little disappointed.

We love Keens! This is my third pair of Newport H2s and I recommend them to everyone that I know. All three of my kids have a pair, as does my husband. The cool thing about them is that you can wear them right out of the box w/o a break-in period. I highly recommend ordering 1/2 a size larger than you normally wear in other shoes for the best fit. We hiked all over Kauai in our Keens that arrived just days b4 our trip. I wouldn't buy any other shoe for the summer. Closed toe makes them a perfect shoe for hikes. No more stubbed toe tips! Foot bed is designed for comfort and as someone who walks everywhere, I couldn't live w/o my Keens! Be well!

I am a total high heel girl...so these were obviously not my style. However, I needed something to get me through the rainy season in Panama and Costa Rica. These will definitely do the trick. They are extremely comfortable, quick drying, and way less ugly in person than online. I wear them all the time.

These are the only sandals that I have found that are sooo easy on my feet and look great, too. I have problem feet, and these Newport H2s have plenty of width for the toes, and are super comfortable and have real nice support in the footbed. I wear them everywhere, including riding my mountain bike in the summer. Any dirt, dust or water hoses right off, and they are set to go again. I own kiwi, navy, and the hot new green color. Just love them. My 4th pair, at least 4 years old, are relegated to gardening and painting. They are stained with paint, and are beginning to show their age, but are still in one piece. They just don't wear out. I am a KEEN shoe lover, own many styles, love them all!

When I lived in Utah this past summer, everyone wore Keens. I was so curious about them, and soon bought these for myself. I LOVE THEM. I hiked all over the place and they provided lots of comfort and protection. A++ product.

I got these primarily to wear at work where I have to run up and down a lot of stairs and sandals without toe protection tend to trip me up. They fill the need in that area and are really comfortable. The color was brighter than I expected (kiwi is kind of a neon lime) and they are hotter than I expected.

Awesome. Best pair of sandals ever. True to size, fit like a glove. The plastic bottom is a bit hot on TX highways, so stay on the trails, though.

I like to wear these hiking in the summer and had a hard time on some trail surfaces (smooth rock, loose dirt/gravel) with these soles. They slipped. Aside from that, they were pretty comfortable.

these are nice Keens. i ordered a pair of the Venice sandals first which are friggin' bomb, so i thought the same size in these right... nope. i had to return a pair of these and order a half size up. you might even wanna go a full size up... other than that they are cute, durable, and all-around great sandals. i <3 the non-marking soles and how they dry so quickly.

Bought these and also Venice H2. Just didn't work for me. Too hot. Wore them once and couldn't stand it. My feet were just not happy. Then I put on the Venice H2- wow, what a difference. Much cooler, more comfortable.

My daughter had told me that Keen Newport sandals were the top choice of camp counselors. Her Keen's survived her 2nd summer as a counselor thru river walks and wilderness camping.
So I bought my pair. Love them. Got compliments on the plum color. They are great for working around the yard and house.
You guys delivered sooner than expected. Best on-line vendor.

I had to return the shoes and it cost me $10.00 in postage. Bummer.. I ordered a size 9 and than they were too short. I usually wear a size 8 and 1/2 to size 9 but they were still too short. And, by the time I got them there were no more size 9 and 1/2's and I was on my way to the ocean for a week of vacation. But my tevas that can't be killed saved the day.

Buying from these guys is great; you really know what you're getting and when you're getting it. However, if you don't know exactly what you want before you order it, it can be a big hassle. Therefore, before you buy, know this about Keen Sandals: they run half a size small and are only comfortable when half a size larger than you would normally wear. To put that all together: order them a full size larger and go down from there. This site does have a nice return policy so if you have to send them back its ok, but do it as soon as possible so that you can get you're new shoes as soon as possible.

Love the color, very comfortable, I am glad I was able to exchange to half a size bigger, with my higher instep I was not able to get into my regular size.
Your service is great.
Thanks so much

I can't tell you how much I love these shoes. These are my first KEENS and I am hooked. Now I'm not a huge outdoor enthusiast like some who shop this site so my shoes won't be going mountain climbing or rafting BUT they do the job when it comes to needing the comfort and style to walk my dog, work in my garden, hose out my garage, and then take me to the tavern with my hubby. Order a 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size. They run a little small and pick yourself up a neat color. I love the emerald green with jeans, shorts and even a long skirt! Thanks and I'll be back for more.

I wear women’s size 7.5 or 8 medium-width shoes, depending on the brand, and found size 8 to be a perfect fit. I wear these to hike relatively tame sandy gravel trails around Phoenix, and really appreciate the air circulation in the summer heat! I was concerned about protecting a tender bunion without wearing socks, and these sandals do a great job – no rubbing in the heel or anywhere from the first wearing. The wide sole creates a nice “bumper” all the way around to protect your foot. The footbed is cushy & flexible – adequate for moderately rocky paths, but I wouldn’t say the sole is rigid enough to do any serious scrambling over sharp rocks. The elastic bungee cord is infinitely adjustable to whatever fit you need over the instep. The rubber toe prevents painful toe stubs. I use gel pads between some toes that tend to rub together, and the straps on these sandals are sufficiently close together to keep the pads from slipping out. Small pebbles do find their way into the footbed, but when necessary, most can be shaken out without removing the sandals. I haven’t tried it, but I would guess that walking in deep sand might be a bit unpleasant. When I get home, I just hose the dust off and let them air dry. They may not be glamorous, but they meet or exceed every requirement I had for comfort & protection.

Love the fit, the look, and the no scuff soles! My mum came to visit and hijacked them. I had to fight to keep them when she left. She's now deciding which color to buy herself. Two Thumbs Up!

I love these! They are perfect for kayaking because they protect your toes while letting water circulate. The anti-odor footbed works well, as long as you always let them dry in the sun if they get wet. They get a lot of attention, and people are constantly asking me where I got them. They are as comfy as crocs, too!

When I first saw these, I thought they were really ugly, but the more I saw people wearing them, the more I liked the look. They seemed like they would be great for walking and playing around water, so I decided to give them a try. They are great--very comfortable and quick drying when you get them wet.

I was nervous about the different fit of Keens with the 'toe ridge' on the footbed inside but they have turned out to be amazingly comfortable shoes. I wore them for a solid week at the beach and then just for walks. The cinch cord customizes the fit which is true to size, with a generous width. The footbed is soft and supportive and not sweaty feeling. I got these for a whitewater rafting trip later this summer but realize I will be wearing them for many other activities as well.

Stupidly I ignored the other reviews to order up because I knew my size in other styles of Keens. My size was way tight and hurt my feet after just a few minutes. I had to send them back and got a 1/2 size up. This new pair is awesome. All 5 in my family has this pair of shoes...love them!!!

When I first saw these in the stores, I thought they were really ugly! Then I went to Hawaii and saw people wearing them everywhere--on the sidewalk, on the muddy hiking trails, in the water. I started to like how they look. When I got home, I decided I had to give them a try. Now I really like them--the way they look and feel and the fact that they are so versatile. One tip I can provide is that I found that the lighter colored ones tend to make your feet look wider/bigger. If your worried about your feet looking big, go with a darker color.
