Great fit - Got these for my 6 year old grandson. One of his friends had something similar. He thinks these are just "too neat". The fit well & are very comfortable. Easy to put on after he learned what to do with the pull tab.

Best kid shoes ever! These are the only shoes that my 10 year old son will wear. Last year's pair saw us through many adventures including camping, hiking, trips to the lake, boating, tree-climbing and biking. We are replacing them because he outgrew them.

Nice but weighty - Although this is a comfortable hybrid shoe for kids; my 7 year old son complains of them being "too heavy" compared to his previously worn Teva sandals. I'm going to send them back because I don't want him to trip and fall due to their heaviness.

Great for boys on the go - My five year old loves these slip on easy wash... no sock shoes. I’ve been waiting all summer to get him some...

My nephew loves these! I bought these shoes for my nephew’s birthday and I didn’t figure he would be that impressed, but he loves that he can run around in water and they dry right off. They also have that great Keen toe that protects his feet when he is kicking a ball or just running around in the playground. I would say these are an all around great shoe.

Love Keens! The velcro closure eliminated my only complaint with earlier styles in allowing easier donning of the shoe. Keens are indestructible. Your child will outgrow the shoe before wearing it out! I think they run a bit small, so go up if there is any doubt about sizing.

Sandals he will wear - I ordered these for my 10 year old son. He had seen some of this brand in a store and thought he would like them because of the soft nylon lining. I ordered 5 and 6 and the 5 was good. So I feel they run true to size or large. He loves them. He hasn't worn sandals for 2 summers because he likes the feel of socks and shoes. He doesn't like anything to rub. These are soft inside and he can still run and play. They are easy to get on and stay on securely. He says the sole is squishy and he likes that. I was worried that I was spending too much money on a kids sandal but now I don't have any regrets. They have been worth the money.

I have two boys, and these are the only shoes they wear all summer long. I buy my older son a bigger pair when he outgrows the old pair. After two years, they still look brand new and are then passed on to his younger brother. A big plus is that they're vegetarian---no animals were killed to make them. We love, love these shoes!! :-)

My son loves these shoes! My son is usually very reluctant to wear sandals, but loves these. Very comfortable, dry quickly when wet. Ordered 1 size larger than usual, and it worked out fine. He is usually a wide width, but these "regular" width shoes are perfect. Very easy to get on and off. Very nice looking.

Love the new ease of Keens - The shoes are much easier for kids to put on with the new velcro strap. Love them!

Perfect for an active summer - I've always wanted a sandal I can wear as a sneaker & this is it! I don't worry about hurting my feet, having them come flying off when I run. They're perfect. I got a pair for my son also.

These Keen’s are great looking and a great color (green) but are a pain to put on and take off. They have a velcro strap across the top which is nice for a snug fit, but the strap has to be undone each time they are put on. Other Keens have a stretchy strip along the back and can be slipped on easily -- these do not. My son is 10, so he puts these on himself, but he finds the velcro strip to be annoying. Like the looks and quality though.

The perfect summer shoe - Great shoe-- second summer buying these for my twin boys who are active-- wear both with and without athletic socks to keep from getting too smelly. Hold up really well and last all season and into the fall.

Great shoes. I bought these because I was heading the beach and didn't have any water shoes. They're a little ugly, but they're comfortable and very functional - they were exactly what I was looking for, and I'm finding myself wearing them away from the water more and more.

Only problem is STINKY feet! My son is 5 and he LOVES these shoes. Very versatile and easy on/off for him. They look great dressed up or dressed down and they have been comfortable from the first day he wore them out of the store! The only problem I am having is that they make his feet absolutely STINK!!! I have washed them and the stink comes back after a few wearings... any solutions to this would be great!

Most comfortable support for walking & on your feet all day - The Women’s version of this shoe is too narrow for me, but the youth size 5 fits my size 6.5 or 37 foot very well and thank goodness! Due to a plate in the back of my heel, I cannot wear any shoes except a clog or sling-back. The back of this shoe is just smooth canvas over lightly padded nylon, so no pressure against the heel. I have finally found a shoe I can wear to the gym. Arch support, covered protected toe area, adjustable elastic, and velcro strap at ankle make this a shoe you can customize for your specific fit and the price is so much better than the women’s shoe, too. I will wear this with dark socks and slacks in the fall and winter, too.

Love these! My 4 year old son has worn these May to Nov. SO MUCH EASIER to get on his feet (even with socks now that it's cool) than the older/non-Velcro version. Plenty of toe room! They do smell pretty bad after a couple weeks but wash up so beautifully it's not an issue. Just bought Keen Whistler and will get these again in the spring. Sizing is consistent with other Keen shoes, beyond that I don't know. He only wears Keens!

Love, love, love these shoes for my 5 year old son! Much easier to get on and off than the other similar Keen style due to velcro strap. I also like the closed in heel. My son has a very wide foot but this shoe works fine. It's also really stylish. If only they lit up, they would be the perfect little boy's shoe!
