"I actually read the reviews here on this site before buying these shoes. And most people are right, little pebbles do become a problem from time to time. But not that often.

These are great water shoes for stream crossing, they are very comfortable for walking around easy trails."

"I'm not a sandal kind of guy but I wanted something comfortable that I could wear in the water if needed. I was also planning a vacation in the Florida Keys so sandals seemed like the right choice.

I went with the Keens mainly due to the toe cap."

"I love these shoes. I bought them for my honeymoon in the Caribbeans and hiking in the rain forest. I didn't expect them to be as comfortable as they are. This is my first pair of Keens and I love them. They don't feel all funny when they are wet and they don't make your feet sweat noticeably either. My wife and mother-in-law have a similar pair and love them as well."

"These don't last very long under tougher conditions. . .

I bought mine almost a year and a half ago. They were really popular here in Austin and getting good reviews from friends and the stores. I liked the reinforced toe and "quick-dry" capability it claimed."

"Great sandal. I've worn it backpacking, around town. I've even been hit by a car in them when I was on my Honda Metropolitan and aside from being a little melted they were fine. I still use that pair.

I would highly recommend this sandal to anybody at all."

"This is my second pair of Keen sandals and I wear them all the time. I also own a pair of the Newport sandals (not to be confused with the H2) and I think they are great as well.

I like the H2 better for a few reasons. One, the footbed is more comfortable and they do not get stinky when they have been on long day hikes."

"Comfortable, but not dependable, and not worth the price. Considering this is the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought, I wasn't impressed. The first pair's soft outersole ripped when it came in contact with a door. Apparently not geared towards wearing in outdoor environments, if it can't handle getting smacked by a door."

This sandal is great for running around trails and diving into rivers. They are very comfortable save for two factors.

The first is that they take forever to dry (even synthetic models) and the second is that they hold debris big time.

The rubber toe is key to protecting the foot, but also holds in all sorts of crap, turning the shoe in to a sand blender on your foot while you are in the water.

"The most comfortable and versatile shoe I've ever worn. I was a confirmed Mephisto wearer until I tried the Keen Newport H2. They feel wonderful, they handle any terrain, they dry quickly after getting wet, and they look great. I've worn my Keens standing eight hours in a drafty warehouse, and my legs and back felt great."

"I bought this sandal because so many people I know had raved about their Keens, and my Tevas were in sad shape. Next time I'll know not to listen to townie yuppies. Debris doesn't clear very well when used in water, ventilation is extremely poor for a sandal, and the spandex material wears out quickly."
