KEENMen's Hyperport H2 Closed Toe Breathable Easy On Comfortable Hiking and Water Sandals

I very rarely give product reviews. And to be clear I am a person that is literally on a lifelong quest to find the perfect shoe. They have been some hits and misses throughout the years. And I have donated more than my share of hardly used footwear to my local Goodwill.I've been wearing teens for years. I was a big fan of the Newports however as I got older it seemed as though I was getting more shock when I stepped. So I started looking at and trying Crocs.I liked how cushioned or bouncy Crocs are however I just don't like how they look.What Keens did here with this shoe was give you the best of both worlds. The feel and foot support of the Newport, with cushion of Crocs.I think this is going to be my new go-to shoe for a long time. And I'm going to have to go ahead and order different colors to go with my other clothes.These shoes feel perfect!!FYI I also ordered some HOKA( I think that's what they're called) sneakers. They are more expensive at about 140 and $150. I'm going to give those a try and if I don't like them? I'm going to send them right back and get another pair of these keens.

Hybrid Sandals That Conquer Trails and WaterFinding footwear that can keep up with a varied outdoor life is a constant challenge. Sneakers are great for dry trails, but useless near water. Water shoes are fine in the wet, but often lack the support for serious walking. I needed a shoe that could bridge the gap, something comfortable and capable on both land and in the water, without having to pack multiple pairs. These KEEN Hyperport H2 sandals looked like they might fit the bill, promising a hybrid design that could handle diverse conditions. After putting them through their paces on hikes and near the water, they've proven to be true multi-sport champions.Right out of the box, these sandals felt substantial yet surprisingly light. The quick-dry webbing straps are comfortable against the skin, and the closed toe design offers protection that traditional sandals lack – a huge plus on rocky trails. The bungee closure system is fantastic; it allows for a quick, secure fit that I can adjust easily, and it stays put. As someone who appreciates a bit more room, the KEEN Original Fit with generous toe space is perfect; no pinching or rubbing, even after miles of walking.The real test came on a hike that involved stream crossings and muddy patches. These sandals handled it like a dream. The siped rubber soles provided exceptional grip, even on wet rocks, preventing slips that would have been inevitable in regular hiking shoes. The quick-dry material meant they weren't waterlogged for long after getting wet. They drained efficiently and dried relatively quickly, keeping my feet comfortable throughout the rest of the hike.Beyond their performance in wet conditions, they are genuinely comfortable for extended wear. The high-rebound cushioning system provides excellent support underfoot, making them suitable for longer walks and standing. They feel stable and protective, giving me confidence on uneven terrain. Knowing they're made with quick-dry, washable materials means they stay fresh even after getting wet and dirty. Plus, the fact that KEEN is committed to conscious creation and uses sustainable materials adds another layer of appreciation for this footwear.If you're looking for versatile, comfortable, and durable sandals that can seamlessly transition from hiking trails to water activities, these KEEN Hyperport H2s are an outstanding choice. They provide the protection and support of a closed-toe shoe with the breathability and quick-drying capabilities of a sandal. They are truly hybrid footwear that conquers both trails and water.

I purchased these instead of my regular Newport model of which I have owned several pairs over the years. These are much lighter in weight and are just a little bit more snug than the Newports.The adjustable back strap is great.With the shape of my feet and toes my pinkie toes do NOT poke out of the side holes as some have mentioned.We will see about durability as time goes on but so far so good.....

I wanted something to replace my old sandals, and decided to look for something with more of a sneaker style. After watching a few videos, I decided to give this brand a try. I had never heard of them.I normally wear an 8 1/2, but went with a 9 on these since shoe folks at a local outlet store bumped me up to 9s the last few pair I bought for reasons. These slip ons fit well though maybe I could have done an 8 1/2.After a few weeks of wearing them daily (I wanted to break them in before I did alot of walking), they have not left any marks on me (unlike when I tried some awful Teva sandals that rubbed my heel, and other based on reviews, within hours). That is good.And they are VERY comfortable. Instantly soft and ready to wear. Being able to go in and out of water in them will be a nice bonus since maybe I can use them for "water shoes" as well as sandal replacements.

Friend recommended these as "like wearing a cloud". They are very comfortable. Tiny pebbles can get in and I don't think I'd want to wear them all day, but they are way better than other water shoes I've owned. Side note: They have a tag that says "Waterproof" - not sure what that means as they have large ventilation holes.

Most comfortable pair of Keens I've ever had. True to size and look as good as they feel.

These are SOOO comfortable. Pay attention to the Amazon recommended size. I had to reorder half a size larger because I thought I knew better.

I have large feet and take long strides and when I walk in the Hyperport H2 my heel partially lifts out of the back (uncomfortably so). I didn't have this problem with the Newport H2 (which I find to be fantastic). At first I thought the size on my Hyperport H2 might be wrong, but upon closer inspection of the two designs, the backs are different. The Newport H2 has a floating heel strap which stays right where needed even when stomping through rough terrain. The Hyperport H2 heel is attached in the back to the sole and since the sole is stiff it overpowers the grip of the heel strap on my larger foot when I take my long strides. The Hyperport H2 heel strap MIGHT work on my larger foot if it was 2cm higher in the back?? They do look nice, and they arrived quickly. I, however, quickly bought two pair of the Newport H2 in case Keen has future plans to only offer the Hyperport H2.
