Anna Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I'm wanting to buy a pair of Keen sandals- either their Newport H2 or Venice H2. Some of them come in colorful shades of citron (green), red, orange, blue, etc... For those of you who wear Keens, do you stick with neutrals for the sandals so they will match more clothing or does it not matter to match them?

HollyDay Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have Newport H2s that are purple. I wear them with just about everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) While I'm here, I'm also wondering if they run true to size or if they run small? I read at Zappos where felt that the Newport and Venice ran a half size smaller than marked. Edited July 29, 2010 by Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have no fashion sense so I wear my Keens with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have no fashion sense so I wear my Keens with everything. I am the same! I have the green ones and they are great. I wear them all the time. I don't know about the size -- mine seem to fit true to size but I'm never sure what size my feet are. 7 or 7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 THAT is interesting about the size. I bought two pair for dd11 a couple of weeks ago, and she was most comfortable in half size larger than she usually wears. She has light blue and light green........she wears them with everything.

myfunnybunch Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Mine are green. I wear them with everything. Sometimes they even match what I'm wearing! They seem to run true to size for me, though now that I think of it, I went to get them fitted in the store before my dh ordered them from who knows where. My Keens sandals (Newports) are my favorite pair of shoes. When I put them on for the first time, I didn't want to take them off, and I am a barefoot kind of gal.

Anna Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Well I just bought a green pair and I ordered in a half size larger than my usual size. That's what many of the reviewers said they did and the girl on the phone suggested the same thing. I hope the green looks OK with all my clothes. Thank you ladies. And did I say how much I heart Zappos? My shoes will be here day after tomorrow, on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 DS has two pair this summer - aqua blue and PURPLE! He wears them with everything. Both colors were his choice this past spring when they went on sale. Even with such strange colors, they always look great with whatever he has on :001_smile:. His seem to run true to size.

swimmermom3 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Too funny!:lol: Today is probably the first time ever my citron ones matched my top. Usually, I am very AR about that kind of thing but with my KEENs, I just don't care.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I always go with neutrals for shoes so that they go with everything because I usually only have one or two pairs of shoes. All of my girls, however, feel that shoes much match clothing. I found one pair of athletic shoes that had a little plastic pouch on each shoe and about ten different plastic slides of different colors that you could put in to change the trim color of the shoes. Those were great. I also made each of them get a pair of denim skater type shoes because they always wear jeans so those shoes will always match the jeans at least.

homeschoolally Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I don't match mine, but I have to confess that I rarely match things anymore. :001_smile: I'm just so happy about how great they feel. I'd wear them anywear, anytime--without regard to fashion because they are so comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had these for 3 years now and they are just as comfy as the first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katemary63 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have Newport H2s that are purple. I wear them with just about everything! :iagree:My Keens are purple. I wear them with everything. But then I only wear certain colors: Black, white, blues, pinks, purples. So they do pretty much go with everything I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourjourneys Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 My Keens are khaki with blue stripe and I wear them with everything! Swim Clothes, Rafting Clothes, and Dress Clothes :) If I could afford a pair of dressy fall Keens I would get them. But for now I am happy with my good ole trusty pair. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 May I post just to say--- I love Zappos and I love my new, green Newport Keens. I did buy them a half size larger as many customers recommended and the Zappos gal on the phone who took my order recommended the same.

StephanieZ Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 For a number of years I wore green birkies if I didn't have a pair that matched what I was wearing. I believed that since green matches the grass, it always works. I'd still make that argument, tho' my green pair (and the blue, and three brown, and the red) pairs have died since then. . . So, now I wear my brilliant purple suede birkies with anything I happen to have on. Not that they match the grass. . . but, well, they are just pretty and I don't care. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolva Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 OK, have to ask, what is so special about these shoes? I am genuinely curious and have never heard of them. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabelle Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Okay, the dh, my ds (11) and I each have a pair of Keen's. My ds's and mine smell like death. Does anyone else have that problem and if so, what do you do about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabel Lee Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm just so happy about how great they feel. <snipped> they are so comfy. Have any of you compared Keens to Teva sandals? I've never tried Keens and was about to go pick out a pair of Tevas b/c when I tried them on in a store over a yr. ago, it was like heaven on my feet. Does one last longer than the other?
