The best summer shoes can be go-anywhere sneakers, a simple sandal, or a cushioned running shoe, but for years, many people have turned to Keen for one particular style that combines all of these into one pair—the Newport H2. These closed-toe, water-resistant sandals are a favorite among fishermen, hikers, and comfort enthusiasts for their protective, supportive, and insanely sturdy design, but they rarely see a sale. Luckily, you can find nearly every color on sale right now, but only for a limited time.
Keen's Newport H2 Closed-Toe Water Sandals are currently on sale for $94 on Amazon — 25% off the regular price of $125. These iconic outdoor sandals have an impressive 23,000-plus five-star ratings from shoppers who can attest to the fact that they're made with “more support and cushioning than regular sandals.” They're available in more than 25 colors — something to suit every personality — and come in sizes 7 to 17. Prices vary depending on the size and color combination you choose, but right now, almost all are around $30 off.

These sandals are considered some of the best by outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds for their durability and comfort. The upper straps are made of reinforced polyester that’s resistant to abrasion and water while still providing incredible flexibility when thrown in the washing machine. Built on a sole reminiscent of Keen’s hiking boots, they feature a versatile sole that’ll keep you sturdy on even a slippery boat deck, and the brand even included their beloved protective toe bumper. A locking bungee cord runs through the straps, letting you tighten them as much as you want, while nicely contoured arches enhance underfoot comfort for all-day wear.
Many fans of the Newport H2 Sandal say it’s a game-changer for outdoor activities. “Best quality and design,” says one shopper. “I especially like the practical design for hiking in the woods and walking on uneven surfaces. Superior comfort and traction. It’s also practical for everyday wear.” Another shopper agrees: “Best shoe for everything from lounging around the house to hiking to swimming in boats or jumping off cliffs.”

Even those who don’t use them for outdoor adventures say these are still some of the most comfortable sandals around. “I’m very particular about my shoes,” one shopper began. “This sandal ticked all the boxes, as I wore it frequently during my vacation in Aruba. It dried quickly and provided the support and comfort I needed. I wear Keen Targhee low-top hiking shoes every day at work, and these sandals are a great complement to my everyday shoes. I love the wide toe box and overall support.”
These durable sandals from Keen don't go on sale often, so now's a great time to grab a pair and save some money in the process. But don't wait—the prices could go up soon.
