Amazing shoe - Last summer, I bought these for my son, who's 5...who never - ever - keeps shoes on in the summer... did I mention he never keeps shoes on?? He loves the ability to get them on and off without adult assistance. They do not let any woodchips - or like material - in the side vents during vigorous park play. They are waterproof. And best of all they get tossed in the washer with mine. We both have Teva's but these are better by a mile! Other than the obvious toe protection – it’s more like a sneaker! Better sole for running & climbing! They last longer. AND HE KEEPS THEM ON! The summer camp only allows Keens & plain ol' sneakers for attendance...and who wouldn’t want these instead of hot sweaty sneaker?!?!? -- Can you guess we just love 'em? -- Off to buy a pair for my (just) 3 yr. old too!

Much improved from last years - Love that Keen added a velcro strap to the kids Newport this year it makes it a lot easier to get on!!! Also like that they used the same strap material as the adult Newport it will be better for performance and looks better. Awesome shoe!

Keen Shoes - These shoes are GREAT! We've purchased these for both of my boys for the past two years and love them. The traction is great for running around in water and the toe protections is awesome. They fit and perform like a running shoe and dry quickly when worn in water. We use them at water parks and they are perfect!

BEST buy - My 3yr old son loves his new red shoes. He wants to wear them all the time, they are easy to clean, and appear to be rugged shoes. A definite must have for little boys.

Keen Kids Newport H2 review - Great shoe! My son loves them and they are very easy to put on his ever moving foot with the velcro strap that helps to loosen up a little. The velcro strap does not open the shoe up completely (great feature), but helps to tighten or loosen fit only. Great color. They dry very quickly. True to fit. My son is extra wide and they fit him also.

Great Shoe!! This is a great update on the Newport. The Velcro strap opens up making this one is so, so easy to get on and off!! The older version was much more difficult. This shoe is perfect for wide feet and is very adjustable for a custom, comfortable fit.
Brands I'd also recommend: Stride Rite, Keen, New Balance, Puma

Summer shoes - This is a great summer shoe for a boy. It can get wet and the sand slides right out! My son has mastered taking them off, but he can't quite put them on himself yet. The color says periwinkle and that made me wonder if they looked at all purple, but they are a bright blue. Adorable for a little boy. My son is funny about sandals and wants to wear tennis shoes most of the time, but he wears these.

Overall great sturdy summer sandal - improved model! Bought these for my 5 yr old and 2 yr old. Finding that this model w/velcro side strap is much easier than previous models. Kids are actually able to get these on themselves w/out all that tugging! Very sturdy. Size runs a little big. Feet can get hot due to neoprene so just beware.

Easy to put on and take off! We ordered these for our 2 and a half year old son and are very pleased with the sandal. What I like best about these is that he can put them on and take them off by himself with the velcro strap.

Smelly but comfy!! My two and a 1/2 year old loves his shoes!! They are comfy and easy to get on and off. He can run and jump and never stubs a toe... The only problem is they make his feet stink!! I called Keen directly and they told me to put them in the washer. I did, but after a day in the shoes, his feet still smell. We are washing his feet as soon as he takes his shoes off because we love the support and comfort of the shoe! It is a great, smelly shoe.

I bought a pair of these for each of my 3 children. Rather than buying them each a pair of sandals and sneakers. I am pretty happy with them overall. The kids seem comfortable and they wash nicely. My daughter, with very narrow feet, seems to be doing fine with them (most shoes are too loose, but I guess the elastic lace allows her to tighten them as much as she wants). I did discover with these, that my 3 year old son has a high instep. Because I bought him the version with the hook and loop strap, we get away with it. I'm not sure if the next size up would have made this part of the fit better (he seems to have enough toe room).

Fantastic shoes for kids!!!! Both of my boys wore these all summer and they were so cute!! They fit both of them perfectly and my older son has very narrow feet. He can get them on and off by himself too which is nice. I will have to say that they do really stink when they take them off. I have washed them a couple times, but it doesn't really help the stink.

Great shoe and looks great - I ordered these for my son. When we opened the box he was extremely excited because they are just like his father's shoe and because they are blue. When I ordered them we ordered the next size up since our sons shoe size is 9 1/2. The size 10 version of this was just too big. I ended up ordering the next size down and that fit perfect. We are keeping the other ones since our son will grow into them. At first these shoes are snug when you put them on but they stretch and form to your feet.

Perfect for Kindergarten - My 5 year-old son loves these shoes from Keen Kids. He wears them almost every day to school. In Texas, it's still hot for the beginning of school, so the sandals work well. But he's very active outside, so the protected toe is perfect for his play. He loves them and can put them on & take them off without much trouble. We love that we can wash them in the washing machine and they look like new.

Great shoe! This shoe is my son's favorite outdoor sandal/sneaker. We live in the Caribbean so it is always hot. The shoe has great ventilation without sacrificing comfort, style, and support. I think I will keep him in these for years to come.
