Difficult Getting Into My Keen H2s

My feet simply don't quite fit the restricted/non-adjustable opening... of shoes that otherwise fit, are well made, and (once inside) are most comfortable.They do NOT simply
slip on/slip off, and if not for the difficulty in gettin into the shoes, I think I'd give them a 5-star rating.Im going to try to exchange for a half size larger... at the risk of getting
"too much shoe". But (IMHO) the non-adjustable opening for feet is a design flaw that could easily be rectified.I'm sad to not just love these Keens.Maybe the slightly larger
size will be the answer.

I get new keens (this style) every 5-ish years. I'm just about due to get a new pair. It would be my 3rd. The insole is worn on certain parts of my foot and is separating on the
back. My biggest wish for this shoe going forward for an improvement is better and or grippy-er traction. Ideally vibram soles. I seriously wear these all the time, especially
when hiking in nice weather. I have slipped on rock and dusty hilly trails more times then I can count. I typically remember to change my footwear for hiking but sometimes I
forget or end up hiking when I didn't intend to. The soles have always been like that since I got them. It's not a wear and tear thing. Still these are my go to shoes...

I have lived in Keen Newports for close to twenty years, much to my wife's chagrin and despite her assertions, I do wash them frequently. There has not been a pair that I had
anticipated receiving more than the Newport H2 Garcias. Right out of the box they seemed extremely well-constructed and were gorgeous. Upon sliding my foot into the
sandal, it was immediately clear as some reviews have stated that there was virtually no chance of extending my foot even halfway into the foot bed. I realize I have Frodo

The return process was fairly simple, other than having to run to the UPS store to ship. C'est la vie!

These are just the best all round active footwear for someone with a wider foot size. I have owned these for 5 years now and flogged the daylights out of them in just about any outdoor active thing you can do. And they are only just now showing wear. I suspect i will get about another year out of them. They are great for any mild to warm weather activity with sea water and fresh creek walking. Even going to the shops they have a high grip sole, in the rain and are so safe. I'm lining up for my third pair next year. Thanks Keen for a great all round adventure sole.

I recently bought a new 2nd pair of Keen H2 Sandals. My originals are > 10 years old, I have enjoyed these as a swim team deck official, hiker, lake person, for casual use around town, who wore the soles out of my original H2's. I experienced the smell, my feet sweat. This was easily cleaned with Soft Soap, old tooth brush to scrub the inside footbed then drying in the sun. These are surprisingly warm for chilly evenings in the Adirondacks. The arch support, overall comfort, traction is a key aspect of why I'm back for another pair. After > 10 years the stitching began to fail where the heel strap connects to the side strap. I will still use my old H2's for water use at the lake.

This is an awesome go shoe for summer fun active wear.Back Country saved me $33 vs. buying on Amazon or from Keen. Thank you Back Country, my go to outer wear supplier.

My latest pair of these after 5+ years of the previous ones. The leather model has an improved design that should avoid the failure mode of the previous ones (stretch seam at the ankle). I initially went a size up based on reviews here, but switched back to my normal size 12. My feet are of average width with some idiosyncratic fit, but the toe box and forefoot have plenty of room in the right size and the rear fit is closer, which increases confidence scrambling around uneven terrain. The size up always felt like my heel or ankle would slide/roll.Even this early in the season, these are my go-to footwear. They will be first choice for travel this summer.

The Keen Newport H2 sandal is the best shoe or sandal in the world. there are good reasons for this. it is constructed of good materials. But the important part is that it has a lot of stretch and or flexibility in it. the material that it is constructed of, stretches in every way, except perhaps for the very front of it. what this means is that people who have diabetes or leukemia or both etc, can wear this shoe without it ripping their skin up. and that means that for a person who does not have any disabilities, it works like a dream. while it is supposed to be waterproof, i would not recommend using it for that. it seems to get to squishy when soaked in water. and if you wear it in the rain, your feet slip inside the sandal and as it is flexible like i say, it ...

The H2 can be used for anything other than total water use. hiking, biking, walking, running (though you may rather have another specific shoe for that, but it worksfine) or any other normal use shoe/sandal. i have been wearing them for over 10 years and only them. no kidding. it's that good.

Purchased late last season for wear this year. Finally started wearing them. Noticed one shoe poorly constructed. Rubber separating from leather. Insufficient gluing, almost non existant . useless to wear, rubber sole will separate with lack of proper adhesive. Had exact pair worn for years with no problem. very disappointing to say the lease. I guess QC missed this pair. Can't find receipt to return. Guess I am out of luck.

I was looking forward to getting a pair of these as the brand and style was recommended by a friend who swears by them. I have ended up disappointed as I cannot get a pair to fit properly.I have one foot which is a size 11 and one which is somewhere between 10 and10.5 [UK sizes]. Keen, in their wisdom, do not do half sizes beyond 10.5, although they admit on their website that the sandals fit comes up half a size small, so I did not have my preferred option of buying a 11.5 [UK] size, which would have fitted my larger foot and only been a half to threequarter size on my smaller foot, a situation I have become used to over the years. I therefore ordered a size 11, which I found too tight to be comfortable on my bigger foot. I sent them back to exchange for a size ...

I therefore ordered a size 11, which I found too tight to be comfortable on my bigger foot. I sent them back to exchange for a size 12 [thank you Extreme GB for your excellent customer service]. The 12 is half a size too big for my larger foot, so is a little loose but I can live with it, but the smaller foot sandal is at least a size and a half too big so is a very sloppy fit, particularly in the heel which is of course not adjustable. I could of course wear a pair of thicker socks to pad the space out, but the whole point of buying this type of sandal is to do without socks and let the feet breathe!I bought these sandals with trail walking in mind. Experience tells me that the sandals will be uncomfortable on steep descents as my feet will slide forward in the sandals, and they will not be much better on ascents as the heel will slide about or come off. In addition, loose fit shoes, worn without socks, and coming into contact with water, seems to me to be the perfect recipe for blisters if I intend to do anything more than 4 or 5 miles in them. I like the style of the sandals, the arch support and the comfort of them, but sadly I have had to conclude that I won't be able to do much more than potter about around home in them, and they make for a very expensive gardening shoe!For a trail shoe I have now bought a pair of Merrell Blaze Sieve sandals which fit true to size, although they do not have quite the arch support or outsole grip on wet rock as the Keens.Keen should either change their lasts so that the sandals fit true to size, or offer half sizes throughout the range instead of stopping at 10.5. If you do that Keen, I will buy your product again, but until that happy day I will stick with Merrells, because size [and fit] does matter!

Used to be Great Sandals!
16 September 2021
The Newport sandals used be great! I had a pair in Men's 11.5 and wore them for several years (of abuse) before they needed replacement. The toe cap was awesome for water sports and fishing and the sandals were about as good as one could ask for!I replaced them with the exact same size (M 11.5). When my new pair arrived, they fit was completely different! The sandals were too narrow and too short. The fit seems to have moved towards a new contour fit.However, I returned them to the REI store with no problem whatsoever. Now, I am contemplating ordering a size M 12 to see if that will make a difference. The store did not have that size on stock.I is disappointing to experience such a size difference when trying to replace my old sandals with new ones sized ... MoreThe Newport sandals used be great!
