The Keen Newport H2 sandals are generally well-received for their comfort, sturdiness, and versatility in outdoor activities. Many customers praise the excellent arch support and long-lasting durability. However, some note a decline in quality in recent years, with issues around fit and sole traction. Overall, the sandals are a popular choice for those seeking a comfortable and protective water or outdoor shoe.
After two long seasons of almost daily water aerobics use in my backyard pool, the straps have come unglued from the footbed and I will replace these. They provided good stability

Blue Keen sandals fit well - nice and snug. My old pair had completely worn smooth on the soles so I’m very pleased with these. Size 9

Not correct in sizing
Size Purchased: 8
Fit - Width: True to size
I wear a size 8 in shoes and I wish i would have gotten at least a half size larger as these do not stretch and are hard to put on.

Nice looking!

I like the look of these shoes, but the sizing is problematic .
The size 8, my usual size, was a bit tight. The 8.5 was a little too big.

If KEEN's were the only sandals there were to buy, I'd not buy them any longer. They are not nearly as well made as they were. The ones made in Mexico are great; the ones made in
