Love the shoes! My 10 year old son purchased these for a wilderness trip, but wears them to school every day as well. They are great for PE; as good as sneakers and pass the dress code requirements for closed toe and heel. He can wear them in cooler weather with socks. My only "con" is that they have a powerful offgassing smell that has diminished with time, but was almost unbearable at first. Kind of like rubber/urine smell. Love them so much I think "pros" are well worth the initial stink.

These are great shoes and we have bought 3 pairs so far, but there is one drawback. They develop a very strong smell awful after a while, maybe because of getting wet. We have not been able to wash the smell away.

My 8-year-old son pronates so he needs a shoe with a lot of support. This is his second pair of Keens. Both pairs were worn on Disney World trips with lots of walking. I'm so glad he had these shoes!

Excellent sandal. Covered heel and woven polyester uppers are an improvement over the previous version I had. About half the price of the adult version with the same quality. Velcro strap improves fit. I normally wear a 3 in the kids version and the 4 fits fine on me.

My sister gave these to my 3 year old son & I just love them! I love the fact that the toes are covered & the flexibility is great. The only problem I have with these is that at the end of the day, his feet smell horrible! I've washed them & it still didn't work. I'm going to try soaking them in a baking soda solution I read about online. His feet have never smelled this bad in other shoes. Does anyone have the same problem? Other than the smell though, I love these & will get him another pair when he grows out of them.

They are well made and my kids love them. Considering they are a medium width, they seem to be a little wide, but my kids don't care. Very comfy.

Good sandals, 1/2 the price of adult sizes. Covered heels helps with dry and cracked heels in the summer.

Great sandal/shoe. Son wore them a week straight during our trip to Disney World with no complaints. Only con is sandals get very stinky! A little foot spray cleared that right up. Great sandal from Keen!

My 9 year old son wore these shoes every day on a 10 day trip to Disney World. Not one complaint about his shoes. No blisters, no aches and pains. I was hesitant to spend this amount of money on shoes for a 9 year old. These are a great shoe and worth every penny.

This is the third pair of these shoes that I have bought for my son, who is now 8 years old. He wears them every day for school, and usually chooses to wear them even when he\'s not going to school! They are never worn out, just too small by the end of year, so we buy another pair for the next school year. I highly recommend them!\r\n

We purchased these shoes for our 10 year old and used them for white water rafting on the Salmon River in Idaho. They of course got very wet while rafting, but were always comfortable. They also dried very quickly. He continues to wear them daily at home. A great shoe.\r\nLisa

My son wears these Keen water shoes/sneakers every day during summer camp. They can get wet but they dry out, rather than having soaking wet sneakers. They also protect the toe and foot from cuts. The sole is like a sneaker and has good support. These are great for active kids or adults whose feet get wet from being active outdoors.

I love these shoes. Everyone in my family has their pair. I think every child that spends any time playing outside, girl or boy, whether they are playing in a creek, at a beach, on a boat, etc should have a pair of these shoes. They hold up well, are sized in a way that my children usually wear them for 2 sizes and hold up to be passed down to the next child. They are super comfortable and it does not matter whether they get wet or dirty, they hose off and are ready to be worn again! They do fit wide, which is good for one of my kids, but does not seem to affect the one with narrower feet. The bungee and neoprene makes it easily adjustable for all types of feet. They have a good arch support and are very secure so they can be very active. If we go on a trip, these shoes have to come along. Last summer only my 2 kids in the neighborhood had these shoes, this summer about 10 of the kids have them since they held up so well. Even a couple of the moms got some. Of course, I ordered these one night and less than 24 hours later they were sitting on my front porch. Only Zappos can do that! We were getting ready for a big boat trip and my daughter outgrew her old pair (by jumping 3 sizes from a 12 to a 3) in the two weeks before the trip. I needed this new pair right away and Zappos delivered!

Zappos delivered these unbelievably fast. They're for my oldest son who gave his old H2s (still in perfect condition after a year and a half of heavy wear) to his brother. They wear them literally everywhere. The boys are drawn to water like frogs and so we needed something that was both waterproof and durable, while at the same time comfortable. These sandals are fantastic and the boys love them (they call them "Michigan" sandals)! Will by them another pair when they outgrow these.

Got these for my daughter when we couldn\'t find the color she wanted in local stores. She loves the Velcro closure which makes entry and exit so much easier/faster than her last pair. There are a couple of spots that rub, but still a good fit. And Zappos\' superior service boggles the mind!

My kids LOVE their Keens. These are easy to get on and off and very comfortable. My son wears these shoes everyday. I would suggest to go up a size and they are wide at the top of the foot. You can\'t go wrong wtih Keens. A great shoe!

wonderful shoes. my boys love them. So much support for the feet. Much better and safer than crocs for the summer. Very easy to clean, just add water and leave them out to dry. no more sneakers for summer camps. These keens protect the feet, and keep them cool.

I ordered these shoes for my daughter and she loves them! I am a Physical Therapist and very picky when it comes to buying quality shoes. My daughter has a flatter foot and needs good support through her arch. She can wear these shoes all day and be comfortable. I order a pair every year for her! Highly recommend them.

Hail the Keen sandal for kids! Oh, why did I wait so long? Perfection! We live on the lake, who knew there was a shoe that was perfect for Chicago summers? Water, sand, rocks, concrete jungle: all perfectly navigated with the Keen Newport H2. Summer camp, parks, outings; no matter where he takes it, my 7 year old is comfortable, safe, and able to splash or run to his heart's content. Easy to get on (which is why I avoided them in seasons past), easy to clean, absolutely adorable on. We got the Chocolate Brown color, and they look great with all his clothes and trunks. We did not need to size up or down at all, found them very true-to-size. Absolutely worth the money. My daughters pair was huge on her (we took the advice to size up, and well, that proved unwise; they were at least two full sizes too big), and of course when we came back they had no more 9's, so we took the chance on an 8, which she has recently outgrown, and it fits perfectly. So apparently the Venice H2's run bigger? Regardless, I ordered my Whispers and without regret, because I knew that in spite of my typical fashionista self, I would wear them in good health. They are insanely comfortable (though I did return a far less comfortable pair of Newport Canvas, did not find those comfy whatsoever comparatively) and right out of box. We are now a Keen family for life!

The first outdoor shoe to survive my son\'s wear and tear through summer camp, hiking and daily trips into the pond. The velcro strap makes it easy for my son to get them on and off. I\'ve thrown them into the washer several times and they\'ve held up well - no color fade or fraying.

Bought these for my daughter to go to summer camp. They are great shoes that don't seem to wear out. I would highly recommend these shoes for anyone looking for hiking/walking shoes that dry fast when they get wet. I purchased these from Zappos because I could not find them in any local store. Zappos had them at my door the very next day without having me pay extra...Thanks.

 |  | To my Ultimate Friends at Zappos. Hello you beautiful people! My Eric Michael boots just arrived, couldn't be happier, the Little Black Boot quest is always such a happening adventure with you guys. Not only do I love my boots, I love Zappos! This overnight shipping is amazing, having ordered these late late LATE yesterday, how do you do it! Zappos storks? Shot from cannons? Men in Black??? We've written before, lamenting our departure from California to the N'West. Every box from you is like a breath of sunshine from home. My boys and I tell EVERYONE about Zappos, it's just crazy how many people have never heard of you. A delight to spot your ad in a skateboarding magazine. My skater boys wear Keen to the park. Thank you so much for your consistent excellence. If you ever need a Little Black Boot expert, let me know! My boots are dancing! Huge hugs to my favorite people at Zappos from your loyal family of Californian dreamers, Steph and the Boys. |  | ~ Stephanie B., October 23 2009
