Question 2

I was told to order a half size up when ordering Keens. Is this true?

Accepted Answer

Something is going on.  I am a little hard to fit; I have "frog feet" (narrow heel and wide arch/toes) and a very high arch, so I expect some problems.   I have worn out about 3 - 4 pair of Keen Newport H2 Sandals and loved them -- they were all in size 12.  I ordered a new pair of 12s, just like I've worn for about 10 years, and I literally could not get them on my feet, mostly because of a very tight construction of the laced area over the arch.  I tried very thin socks and powdered bare feet, no go, they just would not allow my feet to go in.  I sent those back and ordered a pair or 13s.  They were quite uncomfortable in general (very bulky and wide across the toe and arch compared to the 12s so I was always getting them snagged on my car clutch and brake pedal.  The kicker is that even though they were so large in some places as to be uncomfortable, the 13s were still so tight across the arch that I had a hard time getting my feet into the instep area far enough to pull the heel strap up.  When the heel strap did come up, it was and still is uncomfortably tight.  The side bands of both sides/both shoes frayed and split within two weeks right at the lace area.  They've also given me the first "corn" that I've ever had on a foot, it's right on the outside of my arch, just behind the little toe.
I'm mystified.  If I could find comfortable, non-bulky pair of 12s that I could get my feet into comfortably, I'd reorder, but I feel so burned by this experience that I dunno.
I loved wearing Keens for years.  What do I do now????

Question 3

what is the difference between this one and Newport H2?

Accepted Answer

H2 is nylon, 'Newport' without the 'H2' is leather.  I have had both for years. You can get either wet with no problem.  They both dry out fine. You CAN put them into a washing machine, dry them in hot sun if you wish and generally abuse them with no issues. I can wear the Newport/leather in a size 11.  The H2 are always too tight in an 11. A 11.5 is a better fit. Overall I prefer the leather shoe -- it streatches and fits better after weeks of break in wearing. I wear them all the time and live in Florida.

Question 4

Why do they have an exclamation point on them?

Accepted Answer

The exclamation point indicates that they feature KEEN's "KEEN.PROTECT" technology: KEEN Patented Toe Protection where the shoe outsoles wrap up and over the toes for ultimate protection.
