Fit depth guide

Keen Newport H2 is the water sandal people mean by “Keen Newport sizing.” The toe bumper is roomy in volume, but length can feel short — especially if your toes sit near the rubber.

Rule of thumb: if toes clearly clear the bumper at TTS, stay TTS; if they kiss the rubber or you are between sizes, half up. Do not expect much stretch from H2 synthetics.

Versus Moab 3: closed hiking shoes with wide options are a different volume problem than bumper clearance.

Fit reports vary by foot shape, socks, and colorway. Confidence on this row is medium — use the on-page fit survey or feedback with sources; we do not invent crowd percentages.
