Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
I love these extremely comfortable sandals. Leather-free to suit everyone, waterproof, anatomically correct, good arch support, great grips in most circumstances (wet tile can be a challenge), there is nothing to not love. I am somewhat flatfooted and have a problem bunion that requires a wider toebox (yet I have narrow heels), and the cushioning is superb. Yes, the feet get sweaty, and yes, sand gets in them (as it does all sandals), but I wouldn't wade in water without them. They are also more comfortable for kayaking than kayaking shoes/socks that fit way too tight for those of us with some ankle swelling. No break in necessary, and my daughter/granddaughter loves their pairs we purchased for them as well. While these will protect your toes from stubbing on rocks and whatnot, they will not prevent you from twisting an akle, so keep that in mind.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
I've been waffling over these for months. I was worried about the sizing because so many people said they run small (they do). So last time I was at my local REI, I saw they were on sale and I tried some on. I usually wear a 6 but they don't stock 6, so I tried the 6.5. Fits perfectly! There's no way a 6 would have worked. I took these on a business trip and they are just perfect for dealing with airports - easy on and off for security, comfy for ridiculous amounts of indoor walking, stable and grippy for panicked sprints on carpet and zero-friction granite floors. (And they're great outside, too!) They were cool and comfy, though the right one seems just a tiny bit tight at the heel. I haven't had any issues with odor, but I typically don't. Love the fact these are leather-free, too.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
The Keen is a good shoe - but I find myself NOT choosing to wear them. I bought them about a year ago and have only worn them a few times. When I am grabbing a travel/hiking/adventure shoe, I continue to grab the Chaco Z/2. My feet tend to get hot and sweaty in the Keen, and if you are in water or loose dirt of any kind, you'll get a rock in the keen, and getting it out is obnoxious - You have to stop what you're doing and fish the sucker out. I work as a river guide in the summers, and simply couldn't handle the hot and rock-holding keen. Whether hiking, rafting, traveling, etc - I would ALWAYS choose the Chaco over the Keen. If you're just doing pavement pounding maybe they'll be a good fit - that is if you don't mind sliding sweaty feet.
The keen is a good shoe - I can't fault it that - but it seems that there are simply better options for the same price range.
Happy adventures :)

Great for almost anything.
Almost no break in time. I picked these up the night before I left for South America. They still look and feel great.
I've taken them trekking and exploring in the rain forests of Costa Rica and Brazil. You can have a very muddy adventure during the day- wash them off- ready to go dancing all night long! Wonderful for travel, durable and easy to clean.
Great for ocean kayaking too
I have bad knees and need arch support. These are comfortable and supportive shoes.
The guys love them too. I've met some really cute guys wearing these. Never have received compliments at the campsite until I got my keens.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
I have worn these shoes almost every day for a year and they still look great. I love that you can throw them in the wash and they come back clean. Though they took a few days to break in, once I wear them as often as possible. The only down side is that my feet smell pretty bad after wearing them. I am going to try some baby/foot powder as some one suggested to me to help that. If you are active or just want something to slip on for a quick walk to the mail box. These shoes are wonderful.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
I really do like these shoes, easy to wear and they protect my toes! But recently while beach camping, I found walking in them to collect a lot of sand and rocks. Breathability is limited and I was constantly worried that I had stinky feet. But, after wearing them in for 3 days, I was glad I packed these shoes for some solidarity on the beach.

I got this shoe for camping and outdoor activities and that was almost two-years ago...since then I think I have only put on a differnet pair of shoes three times! I wear these shoes everyday, with or without socks even in the winter snow and the rain! I can't stand traditional shoes; they are too constrictive and overheat my feet, but not these...only drawback is when something gets in the shoe, but that easily fixable as they slip on and off so comfortably - you gotta get these shoes!

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
These shoes are incredibly comfortable and last a long time. My only complaint is that they are not as airy and breathable as flip-flops. Not for the hottest day of summer. And although they are often advertised on sandy beaches, they fill up with sand very quickly. Great for biking, kayaking, walking, etc. Great traction. Good arch supports.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Women's:
I bought these primarily for backpacking trips to wear around the campsite and for crossing rivers/creeks along the way.
Many times I have slipped these on crossed the river and just kept right on trekking in them. They are very comfortable and sturdy in most any terrain. I have I have worn them while scrambling uphill, crossing bodies of water, to quick stepping over snow bluffs.
These sandals offer great all around foot protection while still allowing your well worked feet to breath and they take little to no time to break in.
