Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was concerned about whether the shoes were going to be too narrow based on some of the reviewers. I normally wear a size 7.5 in a medium width, and they fit comfortably. I first wore these during a weekend kayaking and camping trip. in In previous sandals that I have owned, my feet would slide around inside the bed of the sandals when I had to walk/wade over rocks near the shores to drag my kayak out of the water, and sometimes would twist my ankles. These sandals, however, are slightly molded and did a good job keeping my feet steady. The footbed wrap around the sides of my feet, and the straps fit snug enough that my feet didn't slide around. I also liked that my toes were protected, especially since it is difficult to see the rocks when stirring up the mud while wading through water. If you are trying to decide between purchasing the Newport H2 and the Whisper sandals, I called Keen's customer support to find out the difference between the Newport H2 and the Whisper sandals. I was told that the Newport H2 model has a more supportive arch.
