KEEN Unisex-child Newport H2 Closed Toe

Excellent Shoes for Adventurous Toddlers
These shoes are perfect for the crazy, fun loving toddler. They fit well and are easy to get on and off thanks to a single velcro strap at the top. The rest of the shoe's fit is done via a durable cord with cord lock. The fit is excellent.The functional design of the shoes is fantastic. If you know about the adult Keen, then you are aware of the great design. The shoes have protected toe boxes and are equally effective in and out of water. The shoe transitions from trail to water and back to trail without issue. The shoes have good support while also having good cushioning. They dry quickly and are always comfortable, evan after getting wet. I've worn mine all day at water parks, in and out of the water and my feet were comfortable all day.The kids shoes have some small adjustments to make them even better and safer for kids, one is the velcro strap I mentioned earlier. The other is that the heel is enclosed and protected, where the adult shoe has an open heel. This keeps sticks and rocks from fining your toddler's soft heels while they play. My toddler also wears his all day at the water park, and is running around the yard at full speed that afternoon. He has worn them at the park and the closed heel design keeps the multch shards from getting into the shoes.The box toe design has plenty of space for my toddler's feet to flex and work without being squeezed or pinched.As a parent, I've had my toddler get shoes soaking wet by jumping in puddles, then we have wet shoes and socks the rest of the day until we get home, but these Keen are perfect all day shoes, no matter how many puddles he jumps in, or whatever he climbs or experiences at the playground or out shopping with us. I cannot recommend these shoes highly enough, especially if you find them on sale.

Sturdy. The best summer shoe... ever!
These are fantastic. The fit is easily adjustable for a wide variety of feet. My son has average width feet and I have wide width feet and they are comfortable on both of us. Socks are optional when the weather gets cooler (because neither of us like any other shoes as much as we love these.) They are awesome when they get wet because they dry well. We wash ours in the washing machine regularly. They rarely get stinky (even with daily wear and we only wear these shoes in the spring and summer) but they do get dirty. We prefer bright colors so the washing machine restores them to that "new" look. They are always outgrown before the tread is worn out. They are awesome for traversing rocky rivers, hiking trails, and the playground. These also work well for school. I'm not sure if the soles are marketed as non marking but neither of my sons have ever had a problem wearing these for gym class and they've been worn for several years between the two of them. They are also safe for bikes and scooters with the study rubber toe covers. My sons used these to stop their bikes and scooters as they wereb learning and they never managed to do more than scuff them.They are also easy to get on and off. These are the first shoes either of my sons were able to get on and off by themselves in a reasonable amount of time. This is important because my younger son always removes his shoes upon entering a vehicle. These are his favorite shoes but, for him, barefoot is always best.At the time of this review my older son has had 2 pairs of this style, my younger son is on pair 5 currently, and this is my first pair in this style but second year wearing them. (I fit in kids sizes and adult sizes. I don't notice a difference in quality.) We are an outdoorsy family so they see a lot of use.

Favorite toddler shoe
These are great quality and hold up extremely well! I have bought these with both of my boys and they wear well, don’t cause blisters, and are easy to wash. I have literally never had a pair wear out before they outgrew them and that is saying something as they are rough on shoes and most are suitable for the trash when they are finished with them. They are pricey but the quality is definitely there. Also, they are adorable for daily wear and also good for water activities.

Perfect and durable for a toddler!
I was searching for a sandal for my 4-year-old daughter that is both waterproof and durable. She is quite rough with her shoes and loves to jump into water puddles. After 6 months of use, these sandals have held up pretty well and only show slight signs of wear. What's great about them is that they are wide at the toes, which gives her better balance and more room to wiggle. Despite having a smaller and narrower foot, they fit her comfortably.

Great for kids, comfy & durable
Keen is a favorite brand for my kiddo, who is 10yo and wears big kid size 6. We’ve had this same shoe style in several sizes & colors over the years, and it’s consistently one which my son loves and enjoys wearing. They’re very durable and easy to clean, we’ve never had a pair wear out as he always outgrows them & we pass them on. He has worn them as water shoes at the lake in a pinch with no discomfort or slipping. The soles are grippy and great for hiking and playing outside. They do get stinky but all shoes worn by a 10yo boy get stinky! I just try to keep them clean and air them out in the sunshine as much as possible between washes. This brand and style are a great value, highly recommend.

Nice sandals for kids
Great fit, wide enough, comfortable, I love it. Just a little worried about the velcro if it will wear down with time.

Very sturdy and comfy- Runs a full size small
Honestly, keens makes a legit Sandal. And the front has some cords you can loosen for chubby feet like my kids. But length wise, it’s like a size too small. He is JUST getting into 8s and still fits in most 7s, but these 8s were already bordering on snug. They gave him blisters both times he wore them.

Gotta love KEEN!
After finally breaking down and spending the money on KEEN shoes for my girls a couple of years ago I will never go back! I have to buy a pair for the summer for each of my girls every year as they are the best all-around summer sandal I can find and last the entire summer and don't ever wear out!

Passen wie angegossen und perfekt für die Waldkita
Die Schuhe kamen pünktlich. Wir haben die bunte Regenbogenversion und mein Sohn (5) liebt sie. Er hat sie den ganzen Sommer über im Waldkindergarten getragen und sie sind immer noch ganz. Jetzt ist Herbst, aber sie würden sicher noch eine Weile halten. Ab und an trägt er sie auch mit Socken. Die Sohle ist relativ steif, das hat mir anfangs nicht so zugesagt, da er ansonsten Barfußschuhe trägt. Aber ich hatte mit weicheren Sohlen im Wald keine so gute Erfahrungen, da diese nie so lange gehalten hatten. Sehr teure barfuß Schuhe konnten bei uns dem Waldboden nicht lange stand halten und es ist sehr ärgerlich, wenn diese nach 2 Wochen kaputt gehen, weil die Sohle reißt, oder der Kleber abgeht.Die Schuhe fallen normal aus. Er kann sie gut selbst an und aus ziehen. Dafür muss er nur den Klettverschluss etwas durch die Lasche zurückziehen, da die Schuhe sehr eng sitzen, was sie ja im Wald auch müssen. Für uns sind es die perfekten Trekkingschuhe und nächsten Sommer kaufen wir sie sicher nochmal.

Perfect
We bought these for my little one (18mo)to take on holiday. They were perfect, comfortable, didn’t rub, easily adjustable. He did a lot of walking over uneven terrain with no issues. The shoes are wide meaning his feet weren’t at all cramped and the footbed has arch support. We will be building a pair each summer for the foreseeable.
