I have a pair of Newport H2s and a pair of Venice H2s. For extended walking (i.e. WDW) I much prefer the Venice's, they just seem to fit me better. For just running around, etc the Newports are just fine.
I'm stalking sales now, as I need to replace my Venice's.
I also have both but I prefer the Venice H2, as well. I have a really small pinkey toe and it always gets chafed by the Newport's. I LOVE my Venice!!! I am going to order another pair in a month or so to wear to the World in Sept!!! Good luck!! I just ordered Chacos flip flops...the Eco tread for a better flip flop and for my trip in Sept I should be receiving them tomorrow from Zappos.
for spring break in Disney this year I purchased a pair of shoes that are a "cousin" of Keen. The brand in AHNU. I just love them and they were so totally comfy I wore them the entire trip. They are waterproof just like keens, and I like the look!(sort of Mary Jane- with adjustable strap) I brought along my Keen's but only wore them once.
I have the 2 pairs of Newport H2 and 1 Venice H2 If I had to choose I would choose the oldest pair of Newports, they fit better different than the new pair. I like the Venice much better than my newer Newports also but I have to say my new fav WDW and all around good amphibious shoe is my Teva Toachis they are squishier inside than the Keens, I still really like the keens but if I was only takin one pair it would be the Tevas
Last years Tevas had these drainage things that felt kinda weird, this years don't, also I got the mens Toachi cause I wanted plain brown, they do have womens.
Also my oldest Keens are 4 years old and have been through the washer many times and still look nice, dont' know yet if the Tevas will hold up as well.
I went out and tried the Newports and both the Venices styles...
I ended up getting the Sarasota Premium. An open toe style.
What a nice sandal
My foot felt just a little too confined with the closed toe style. The 7 was too small and the 7.5 felt a little too roomy.
I did grab a pair of Cayman Crocs too in Pink!!
I swore I would never wear crocs...OMG are they comfortable.
