Both my husband and I love the Keen "product". I tend to have 3 or 4 pair of high quality shoes and wear them until they can't be worn any longer. It's winter in MN now but I expect that these very cute shoes will be worn for many summer's to come.

I really like this shoe. The first couple times I put it on it was difficult to get it over my heel, but once I did the fit was perfect for me. I wanted it to fit my foot like a glove and it does without blistering or any discomfort. Dries quickly and really doesn't smell!

I was surprised by the color, but in a good way. I thought the Periwinkle color looked more like purple on the website, but it was more of a royal blue when it arrived.
This is my second pair and the first time I've found a sale on the Keen shoes.

I always get teased by my husband since it says 'Waterproof' right on the shoe. He tells me to walk through puddles since my feet won't get wet in my waterproof Keens!

These really are great sandals. I already have a pair (which fit, by the way)so wanted to have another and ordered these in the same size. Surprise! The sizing seems to have changed in a year. (Fortunately, they fit my daughter and she loves 'em). So beware...apparently you must order up at least 1/2 a size this year.

Since I put these shoes on my feet, I haven't taken them off. I want to buy them in every style and color. I do lots of art fairs during the year and these have saved my feet on more then one occasion. A must for anyone who has to walk or stand on their feet most of the time. I even wear them in my studio because they clean up so easily.

I like it a lot!

I have worn Tevas for 10+ years and wanted something a little more protective without velcro (as this has been problematic w/Tevas)that was still cool and comfy. The H2's seem very comfortable, once you get them adjusted right. The sizing tends to run small and after viewing other owner's suggestions, I went with a 1/2 size larger than normal and could have possibly gone a full size larger for sock use. The H2's seem well suited to walking, some hiking and cycling as well. They appear to be very well made and I look forward to years of use!

My husband bought a pair of Newports H2 for our 18 day trip to Costa Rica. He finally talked me into it, saying he loved his. I sure was glad he did. I love them. They are comfortable, secure, great shoes. We wore them hiking (not the easy tourist stuff...but full on jungle hiking), rappeling on a full day canyoneering trip, class 4+ whitewater rafting, caving, zip-line canopy tours, beach hiking, swimming in rivers and oceans, hiking in thick mud and in the rain. We beat them up, and they took it all! We never took out our real hiking boots for the whole trip. Next trip, we will only take our Keens. I think they are the best all around shoe that I have ever owned. The closed toe saved my toes a few dozen times and for that alone were worth their weight in gold! Even at there worst (appearence), a quick spray with the hose and I swear, they look new again. We even covered them in bat quano...yuck! Quick rinse and they look great!

I LOVE KEEN SHOES AND FOUND THESE ARE THE BEST. YOU GET THE COMFORT OF AN ATHLETIC SHOE WITH THE STYLE OF A SANDAL AND IT IS COOL IN THE SUMMER AND PROTECTS YOUR FOOT FOR HIKING AS WELL AS FOR WATER ACTIVITIES. THE PRICE WAS GOOD AND THAT WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR IN ORDERING FOR ME.

I loved this shoe the minute it hit the shelves. I finally broke down and got a pair. They were so great I recently bought my sister-in-law a pair and she loves them too. They're great day hiking, water sports or working in the yard. They could use a little more support in the arch but I find that with most shoes and my feet. Otherwise, perfect shoe.
