Full details
The Keen Newport H2 is an essential choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active individuals who need a versatile sandal that performs as well on rugged trails as it does in the water.

FAQs
Can I wear the Newport H2 in the ocean?
Yes, they are designed for water use. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove salt crystals.
Are these sandals machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with a small amount of mild detergent.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
They are designed to be comfortable worn either barefoot or with socks, depending on your preference and the temperature.
Is the toe bumper flexible?
The toe bumper is made of sturdy, protective rubber designed to stay rigid for safety, but it allows for natural foot flex while walking.
How should I dry them after a water hike?
Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
They provide great support and protection for hiking, though they are best suited for terrain where water and rock protection are priorities.
Troubleshooting
The bungee laces feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the toggle lock while the foot is inside the shoe to find the tension that matches your foot volume.
Footbed feels slippery when wet.
Ensure the footbed is free of debris or dried mud by rinsing it thoroughly with clean water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the lace-capture system while wearing the appropriate socks for your activity, or barefoot if that is your preference. The bungee toggle should be tightened until the sandal feels secure but does not pinch the top of the foot.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Most Keen water sandals are machine washable. Use a small amount of mild detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the sandals in direct, prolonged heat (such as a hot car), as this can cause the materials to warp or the adhesives to degrade.
- Maintenance: Periodically rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or mud to prevent material buildup and ensure the longevity of the lacing components.
