Very cute - and easy to put on! Given that my 13-month-old doesn't sit still for more than about 5 seconds, lace-up shoes aren't an option for us yet. But we wanted something a little more versatile than sneakers and these little shoes fit the bill perfectly. They are flexible and have lots of grip on the soles so he is more confident walking in them. And they must be comfy - he begs to put them on whenever he sees them! Oh, also our boy has WIDE feet - but these fit great, without any pinching shoving or squeezing.

Perfect for wide feet - My son has never lost the little fat pad on top of his feet. Every shoe I order for him in xw fits great. He is 4 and loves all his stride rite shoes.

Great shoe - My son seems very comfortable while wearing them, they are very easy to put on and they look really cute.

Great Toddler Shoe - I bought these for my 16 month old for the summer to fall transition. He adjusted very easily from his more flexible early walkers (See Kai Run, Robeez, Tredz, etc.) without any hesitation. They are very well constructed and fit perfectly... easy on for me, but not easy for him to take off himself.

Still not "tall" enough for my thick-footed boy - I ordered a 5W and the length and width are perfect, but the shoe still isn't "tall" enough to fit my son's thick foot. I can get the velcro tabs closed half-way which keeps them on, but it's obvious that they're not a perfect fit. The shoes themselves are adorable and very well-made.

These shoes looked great to me but were too wide. I don't have a wide foot and Keens have always fit fine in the width before. I have owned about ten pairs of Keen shoes and this is the first pair that is too wide so it really does seem to be something different about the sizing on this boot.

I bought these for my daughter-in-law for Christmas, and she was so pleased with them. She wears them regularly and has told me that they're so comfortable that it's like wearing slippers. Also, the service and delivery were both fast and excellent from Zappos! I would not hesitate to buy from Zappos again.

Comfortable and cool-looking. The first pair I was sent had something weird going on with the insole, so I ordered another pair which fit perfectly. I have big, wide feet so these are great for me. No insulation, but with good socks they are warm, and ostensibly waterproof although I haven't put them to any real test. They did get pretty muddy when we were picking out our Christmas tree, and cleaned up great. These are great for stomping around in the Oregon rain; I wear them a lot and they are holding up so far!

These boots are awesome! Wore them to New York City the weekend before Christmas, with the big snow storm they kept my feet warm and dry! We walked everywhere, these boots needed no break in period, very comfortable!

I've had a lot of Keens and this boot is especially wide through the toe and front. I even tried a half size smaller and it was still too wide. So I gave up and returned it.

Although I wear a medium boot, my foot is fairly wide and these boots fit me perfectly with their wonderful round toes. I have them in both colors and reach for them more than any of my other beautiful boots. One of their best features is that, at least for me, they slip on more easily than other boots.

Simply love these boots! They are true to the "Keen" comfortable standard, yet give the added strength to the ankle. I highly recommend these boots.

Love Keens...love these boots! They keep my feet warm and dry even trudging through slush and snow. I always buy my Keens a half size up...I wear a solid 10 and order a 10 1/2...which allows for socks and a great fit. My only complaint is...they are a bit difficult to pull on...as mine did NOT come with a loop...I even returned my first pair, hoping the 2nd pair would come with a loop, but no luck. Not sure why they are pictured with a loop if they don't come with one??? Overall a great boot once you get them one..lol.

First, I have ordered from Zappos twice and both experiences have been terrific. One order necessitated a return and everything went extremely smooth! As for this shoe, it is great and extremely comfortable. I have Keen sandals in size 9 and found that I only needed an 8.5 in this model. Great, roomy toe box and padded insole.

Really comfy and waterproof. Great for walking in snow, working in the woodshop, walking, and heavy duty stuff.
