Women's Keen Hyperport H2 'Alloy/Skyway' (1030679) — High-Performance Women's Water Sandal

What Is the Women’s Keen Hyperport H2 ‘Alloy/Skyway’?

The Women’s Keen Hyperport H2 ‘Alloy/Skyway’ (Style Code: 1030679) is Keen’s most advanced closed-toe water sandal in the cool, modern ‘Alloy/Skyway’ colorway — metallic alloy grey paired with clear skyway blue. Built on the same platform as the Hyperport H2 ‘Chipmunk/Birch’ (1030678), it delivers identical performance credentials — women’s-specific last, quick-dry polyester webbing, metatomical dual-density EVA footbed, compression-molded EVA midsole, razor-siped non-marking rubber outsole — in a colorway that reads as athletic, contemporary, and water-element-forward rather than terrain-matched and earthy. At $129, it is the same price as both the Newport H2 and the Chipmunk/Birch Hyperport — and the right choice for women who prefer a cooler, more modern palette in their performance water sandal.

Specs & Construction

The ‘Alloy/Skyway’ Colorway — What It Looks Like and Who It’s For

Alloy is a cool metallic grey — the color of brushed aluminum, weathered steel, and overcast coastal sky. It is not a warm grey or a charcoal; it has the clean, slightly industrial quality of metal alloy — modern, precise, and neutral in a cooler register. On the Hyperport H2, Alloy covers the primary webbing straps and gives the shoe its dominant tone. Skyway is a clear, mid-depth blue — the color of open sky reflected in still mountain water, somewhere between cerulean and powder blue. It reads as clean, airy, and water-adjacent — the right accent for a shoe built for aquatic environments. Together, Alloy and Skyway create a two-tone that is simultaneously athletic, contemporary, and element-coded: this is a shoe that looks like it belongs in and near water, not just near it. The Alloy/Skyway palette pairs naturally with navy, white, grey, and cool-tone athletic apparel — and works equally well as a performance water sandal and a casual summer shoe for women who gravitate toward cooler, more modern color palettes.

Alloy/Skyway vs. Chipmunk/Birch — Choosing Your Hyperport H2 Colorway

Bottom line: Same shoe, same performance, same price. Choose Alloy/Skyway for a cooler, more athletic-looking palette. Choose Chipmunk/Birch for a warmer, more terrain-matched palette. Both are the right sandal — the decision is purely aesthetic.

Hyperport H2 vs. Newport H2 — Platform Comparison

Why a Women’s-Specific Last Matters for a Water Sandal

The Hyperport H2 women’s edition is built on a women’s-specific last — not a scaled-down men’s last. Female feet typically have a narrower heel relative to the forefoot width. The women’s-specific last accommodates this with a narrower heel cup that eliminates heel slip — critical in water and on wet rock, where heel slip is both uncomfortable and a stability hazard. The toe box is proportioned for female foot shape, and the last pitch distributes weight correctly across the female foot’s contact geometry during water use and trail walking.

Who Is the Women’s Keen Hyperport H2 ‘Alloy/Skyway’ For?

This sandal is for the woman who wants Keen’s highest-performance water sandal in a colorway that reads athletic and modern rather than earthy and organic. The Alloy/Skyway is the right choice for buyers who wear grey, navy, white, and cool-tone athletic apparel — the palette that makes this shoe the most naturally cohesive choice. It is also for the buyer who wants a water sandal that looks at home in the gym parking lot, at the trailhead, and on the river without looking like it is trying too hard at any of them. Performance-first. Style-considered. Cooler register.

Q: What is the difference between the Hyperport H2 and the Newport H2?
A: The Newport H2 is Keen’s founding water sandal (2003) — the proven original. The Hyperport H2 is the next-generation evolution: enhanced athletic construction, updated last geometry, more performance-forward silhouette.

Q: Does the Keen Hyperport H2 fit true to size?
A: Yes, true to size. Size up half for neoprene or thick outdoor socks. Available in US Women’s 5–9.5.

Q: What does ‘Skyway’ look like as a color?
A: Skyway is a clear, mid-depth blue — between cerulean and powder blue, the color of open sky reflected in still mountain water. It is lighter and cleaner than navy, warmer and more saturated than pale grey-blue. On the Hyperport H2, it appears as accent detailing against the primary Alloy grey straps.

Q: Can the Keen Hyperport H2 be used in saltwater?
A: Yes. Quick-dry webbing, non-marking rubber, and closed-toe protection make it suitable for ocean shoreline, tidal pools, and coastal hiking. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to extend strap and hardware life.
