Customer Reviews KEEN Newport Retro

I own 3 pairs of Keen's and each one of them is 5 stars. The Keen Newport Retro is a disappointment. It's really not comfortable like my others. My hubby called them "Clown Shoes" because they are so broad on the foot. Great arch support, but clunky. Had I not worn them, I would have been able to return them. They really aren't to my liking. My other Keen's feel like I want to wear the shoes all day and into the evening. These, well, I can't wait to take them off.

Love my retro tie dye Newports! At first wear I was a little concerned because the toe cap on one shoe felt like it was dipping down and putting pressure on my big toenail. I stuffed paper in the toe and gently heated it with a blow dryer. I left the paper in over night and the next morning the problem was solved. I have worn a number of Keen hiking boots and shoes, but these are my first sandals. Very comfortable and cushioned sole. Good arch support for me. I would say it’s more moderate and not as aggressive as the hikers. Started molding to my feet in just a couple hours. Wore them on a 2 mile dog walk this afternoon and my feet were happy when I finished and that’s saying a lot as I have old, cranky feet!! My feet measure size 6 1/2, but I find I need a 7 in most Keens. I like these so much I’m pretty sure I’ll be ordering another pair just in case Keen decides to stop making this color way. The only “complaint” is my shoes have a lot more yellow than the other colors - not my favorite color.

I normally wear size 9 Keen. I ordered size 9. THEN I read these run small. No problem. It’s Zappos!! I also ordered size 9.5. They arrived the next day (where else does that happen??) and the 9.5 were the winner!! Order up 1/2 size for the perfect fit.

Just not the same shoes I'm use to. Did not fit properly. The ankle strap on the left foot was not place properly. I have worn the Keen Newport for many years and the quality has gone down.

I bought these for a trip to Ireland (photo) and have now worn them, almost daily, for 3 months, for walking and at the gym. . I usually order a wide size and even though that is not available in Keens, it fits comfortably. The lacing allows for some flexibility of fit. I get FREQUENT comments and complimants from others, even perfect strangers, about the unique tie dye design.

Perfect

Love Keen sandals! These are my 4th pair and I think they are adorable. Ready to wear straight out of the box! ...and I have two mismatched, knarly, arthritic, bunion riddled, supinated load packers! Do yourself a favor and give these indestructible Keen's a try! Keep moving!

I love the tye-dye version of this shoe! It's so comfortable and I love the colors. The sandal itself is very comfortable but I do think it runs a bit small and a bit narrow. I had originally ordered Keens Whisper or something like that and the insoles was very hard and uncomfortable, but the insoles in these are pliant and comfortable. I would highly recommend them!

Love the Retro style! I ordered a 9 (I have the Keen/Venice H2O in a 9), but needed to size up to a 9 1/2 in this style. Definitely go up 1/2 size.

This shoe is super cute and comfy, but runs very small. I take a 7 in Keen's, but needed an 8 in this style.

I love these sandals! (This is the third pair I've owned.) I have worn the last pair for about 10 years, so it was time to replace them. The hemp/provincial blue color is really nice. These shoes run a smidge small; I am a size 7, but take a 7.5 in Keens. They have ample width; I am a "C" and these give plenty of room. They have good arch support and can be cinched up. With a wide footbed, they are COMFORTABLE and stable, better than most sneakers. I live these during the summer. The toe guard protects your feet from stubs and bumps. These are awesome water shoes as well. I tried the Keen Whisper, but the Newport has a bit more width and arch support, so I returned them and got these instead.

I just love these sandals. i wear a size 9 w & these fit me perfect because they have a wide toe box. i also own 2 other pairs of these in other colors, very comfortable to wear and the tye dyed ones goes with any color you wear. The shoes are true to size, color bright as described , truely an adorable sandal , made well to last, you can't go wrong on these sandals, super fast , friendly, service , Thank You, Will buy again.

This style of Keen shoes is and has been my favorite for years. Wear well and hold up well. Therefore, I haven't ordered a pair in years and finally the old ones were done and I loved the color of these. One of my favorite things about Keens is the size is consistent. I have always worn an 8 1/2 or 9, after trying and returning both of the sizes, I have hopes of the 9.5 fitting. What has happened to Keen? HUGE disappointment with sizing! Runs very small!

Super comfy! Order a half-size larger than your regular size.

Love the shoes! However, they run very small. I have about 6 pairs of Keen shoes, including hiking boots, and one is a size 9.5, and all others are 9s. I have had to return these and order a 10, and that should work for me. Anxious to wear the fun and colorful shoes!! I've been waiting for Keen to have some bright and fun colors for adults and not just for children.

I normally wear a size 6.5 EE, so I was worried about the B (medium) width. But, these are fine width-wise because of the broad toes. I did also try a size 7, but it felt way too big and clunky, so the 6.5 were the ones I kept.

Great shoes! As comfortable as the originals and really fun. Not as outrageous-looking on as they appear in the photo.

Five star for everything except the fit. This particular style, Keen's tie-dye retro Newport runs a half size smaller than other colors and styles of Keen's Newport H2 sandals. My feet kept hurting after a walk and I finally realized the problem. I measured them compared to my other Newport H2 sandals and saw some other reviews saying the same problem. So I bought a second pair because I really love the sandals. Great sandals but buy one half size up.

Wild colors make for fun and funky shoes! I ordered these thinking they were ‘Whisper’ style- I have 4 wonderfully comfy pairs of that Keen style! At first I was surprised by the chunkier look of the wide rounded toebox and large rubber toe bumper. Perhaps I should have checked the style name first! Nevertheless, the fit is perfect; they are even more comfortable than ‘Whisper’ and they may become my new favorite Keen. I ordered one half size up because they do seem to run a little short, just as the ‘Whisper’ does.

I am so glad I read the reviews... I have difficult feet ... quite narrow with narrow heels , but I need a wide footbed because of nasty pointy bunions I have fallen arches and need good arch support. I wear a. “ generous” size 8 but because of the reviews I went up a whole size to a 9 and so glad I did as the sandal fits me perfectly. This a an adorable sandal which I hope you all enjoy.

Still my favorite go -to athletic/summer shoe where my feet and toes are protected. Comfort, support, with grip soles and waterproofing ideal. For me, Newport style best fit. Retro pattern glows in the dark if you are out at night. Feel safe and grounded.

The shoe was perfect all around. I got it in Rainbow. I liked that the toes were enclosed. Good if you have funny toes but also protects from stubbing them. My roommate didn't like, so I returned. But that's what so great about Zappos. They're easy.

Loved these shoes and all the colors you can wear with them!! Great for hiking and outdoor activities - they protect your toes!!!! We bought them for our entire family, even the toddler grand babies....

I normally wear a 10 wide but read that these ran a little small so I ordered an 11. It fit my wide foot perfectly! The lacing is easily adjustable. I used the sandals this past week in Hawaii and they were great for walking on the lava rock paths! I absolutely love the tie dye colors of the shoes and wanted a pair when I first saw them.

This is about the Third pair that I have tried. All the same size, very comfy sole, but each pair varied with the width where the little pinkie toe can stick out...if it's too big of a hole, the pinkie toe will stick out. I think I have finally found a pair, where it's not too bad. The jury is still out. I always order a half size up with Keens, I am a true 7.5, and size 8 fits me great.
