The New H2 is a VAST improvement over the kid’s Newport. I love keens for myself and have several pair. Last summer I got the Newports for my daughter. Although they were comfortable and wore well, they were VERY hard for her to get on (nearly 7 years old so not that young) and even hard for me to help her get on. The "hole at the top is small and snug which is great once you have it on but makes it really hard to get there. The biggest change in the H2 is that the velcro strap at the top opens up the entire top of the shoe. VERY easy to get on now. The instep/width can still be adjusted with the bungee cord. The heel is enclosed on this style. Also, the upper is the same webbing as the adult version which is a big improvement (the Newport has a plastic-y upper) -- more comfortable and more attractive now as well as super easy to get on. Yea! I'm getting them for both my girls. Oh, and like the adult keens, these run a good half size smaller than normal. One improvement I would make is to add longer velcro to the strap -- we're right near the end when we tighten it.

Go-To Summer Shoe - We've been fans of Keens for kids since last summer with the purchase of pairs for both our girls. I can't say enough about how versatile, practical and adorable they are. Fantastic that they are waterproof - throw them in the wash and they come out looking like new. One of the few shoes that will be a hand-me-down from big sis to little sis. I actually ordered too big of a size, but decided to keep them for next year. And you can't beat Zappos service.

Amazing all-weather, all-activity shoe! My 7 yr old daughter put them on and said "These are GREAT! I love them!"...My first Keen purchase...For me it's a bit crazy to spend this kind of money BUT I was looking for a durable, all-weather, all-activity shoe for my kids to wear for summer camp and these are amazing. What's really great is the new "Velcro" feature so you aren't trying to force your child's foot into the shoe! And believe me I've struggled with many similar styles with my 4 and 7 yr old! (Now my 2 year old has a pair!)

Keen Kids Newport H2 - This is my daughter’s second pair of Keen sneakers. She says that they are very comfortable, and I like that they are a rugged style that works well for indoor and outdoor play. Easy for her to get on and off.

Great summer shoe - Perfect alternative to sneakers or sandals in the summer. The protection on the toe (all Keens) and the new addition of the heel protection on the H2's are great for bike riding. Yet the open designs allow the foot to breathe. The velcro helps keep the shoe snug.

About Keen Kids
The Newport was just the beginning for the KEEN youth line. They now carry everything from sandals to sneakers and socks to bags. They have winter boots and hiking boots for boys and girls. They even have shoes that are perfect for school and backpacks to go along with them. They have a vast array of styles in infant, toddler and youth sizes so the whole family can wear KEEN from the very beginning.
KEEN is not just a footwear company, it's a way of life. KEEN created a company built on hybrid innovation, redefining the outdoors and giving back to the community. They call their way of life the Hybridlifeâ„¢ and they encourage everyone to pursue their own Hybridlife.

Happy in Humboldt - I bought the Keen Kid's Newport H2 for my daughter Emily and she loves it. She hasn't taken them off since they arrived. We live near the beach and I thought they'd be good for hiking to the ocean, but she's worn them to school daily, playing soccer at recess, and even likes to wear them to her softball games! I have yet to see how they do with small rocks at the river, but so far we're both happy. I bought a pair for myself, too.

Satisfied my daughter's picky feet - These shoes are great for my daughter who tends to find any little irritation in her clothes or shoes. She's had these for weeks, and still can't find an irritation. I got matching ones (but there was not pink for moms), and we are going to be happy campers in Bryce.

Sixty-three old KID! I have a very wide, short foot and have found over my 63 years that children's shoes fit me better than adult shoes. So I always seek children's styles when possible! Even with children's sizes, my first two pairs of Keen Kid's Newports were larger than indicated, so I went down a size (a half size smaller than I actually wear). They are perfect. He H2s are great as I need toe and heel protection (diabetes) but want a washable shoe to trek through Kaua'i's muddy hills. I have been wearing my H2s frequently and love them. I think they are perfect for children, too. Thanks Zappos; it is always a pleasure doing business with you. I appreciate you so much!
Brands I'd also recommend: Other, more open Keen models and Teva.

Great shoes - I really like them! They have a squishy comfortable footbed and they do not have a heel like my hiking boots do. They are flat and this puts less pressure on the ball of my foot. My hiking boots usually leave the balls of my feet tired and sore. I can walk long distances in these sandals without getting sore or tired. This is a good thing since I am a naturalist at a camp in Washington and I lead 4 or 5 hikes per day! I have worn them so far in water, mud, grass, uphill, downhill, gravel, dirt and all over camp and town. They have been incredibly comfy and really had no breaking in time. The traction is pretty good. The only problem is I get gravel stuck in them sometimes and I have to take them off to get it out. This can be a problem if I am trying to lead people somewhere. And they are purple which is one of my favorite colors! I look forward to wearing it in Arkansas and Africa. I think the shoe will do well there.

My daughter loves them! I'm so glad I "bit the bullet" and bought these for my 11 yr old daughter! She loves them! She can wear them everywhere - even when she waded into the salty lake to go fishing. They just rinse clean. I'll buy her another pair next summer - just wish I'd have done it in May, not July!

Great shoe... even for wide feet! My daughter loves her new Keens... and they were put to the test immediately with 4 hardcore days around Disneyland. She only wore them a couple of times before we went, but they worked out great - no blisters or sores. She also is slightly wide and these were very forgiving. Highly recommend!

Great - These sandals are tough. We haven't had them for very long, but they seem like they will hold up really well. I ordered 2 sizes and ended up keeping the larger. I wanted to give her some room to grow.

I love them - I could not be happier with my entire experience with Zappos.com. There was such a wonderful complete and easy to navigate site with great photos and the product was just as it appeared and was described. With the free shipping and fast delivery the experience could not have been better.

Comfortable from the start! This shoe is amazing! It's as comfortable as my Crocs which I didn't believe possible. And of course, the Zappos experience is the best! Next day delivery is terrific!

Best summer hybrid shoe ever made for kids - My daughter is on her second pair of Keens. The first pair lasted 2 years of full day outdoor camp. These shoes are amazing. They DO NOT have ANY foot odor. They’re cool like a sandal, but super supportive and the protective shoe lets her play sports like she's wearing a sneaker. Couldn’t ask for a better shoe!
Brands I'd also recommend: Crocs flip-flop for the pool.
