Customer Reviews KEEN Kids Newport H2 (Toddler/Little Kid)

I purchased these for both my son and daughter. My daughter likes to wear them with socks and thinks they are the best. My son likes to wear them however, without socks these shoes produce the most horrible stinky smell! We all know when the little brother has taken his shoes off!

Sandals sized exactly as described. Very comfortable on land, sand and in water. Good arch support. They eliminated the need to take sandals, walking shoes and water shoes on our day trips during a trip to the Florida Keys. Note: sole indicates "non-marking". If you are buying for boating, note that the gray sides will leave a mark (although easily rubbed off).

I ordered these shoes for all three of my kids...they are awesome...they are very wide in the ball of the foot but that doesn't seem to bother my narrow footed child (especially with the bugee cord that tightens them up a bit)...and they fit my daughter perfectly..(she usually has to have a wide shoe). They do start to smell bad quickly (even though they say they are treated with the antimicrobial treatment)...the shoes are just so versitile-they wear them everywhere...I ordered them with enough room where they can wear them with socks this spring, then without socks in the summer. Oh, also, my daughter usually has MAJOR issues with the way clothes, especially shoes, fit her (most clothes really bother her)yet she loves these shoes-there are no places on them that have the possibility of irritating or rubbing. I've also heard that you can throw them in the washing machine then let them air dry easily...but I haven't tried that yet. I've read reviews on these shoes everywhere and the worst I have ever read is that they get smelly-which is true but they are still GREAT shoes, worth the money b/c they function as a tennis shoe and a sandal (and what kid wants to wear a hot tennis shoe in the summer?)!

These sneaker style sandals are school approved. They cover toes, have full heel coverage and rubber soles. They check all of the boxes. The depth of this shoe is shallow. My little one has lively feet but she still has that baby flat foot with a high instep and these leave marks all across the top of her foot. She did great in them for a while but as soon as the weather turned humid, these became uncomfortable telling me she does not have any room to spare. Keen, please make wide widths!

This is my 4th pair. I have loved everything about this sandal and they wear forever! However, this last pair has a short strap across the top. For children or adults with a high instep this latest version is virtually impossible to get over the top to the Velcro attachment area. Keen can easily fix this. I hope they do!! One other issue this year is the limited color choices! I don't know if that is Keen or Bean? Prior to this last pair I would have given them a TEN!!

Great shoe. Kids loves them. Only thing is: THEY REEK. Good thing they’re machine washable. But they have to be laundered after every wear if we want to avoid the terrible stank.

Super great in so many ways—style, fit, comfort, ease of use for my toddler... But after a short while they SMELL SO BAD. It’s great that they’re machine washable, but we have to wash them after every wear like a pair of sweaty socks. And the kid needs a bath immediately upon removal too. YUCK!

My son requires a 1 Wide. I ordered a 2, hoping that it would work. I didn't. My son refused to wear them saying that his little toes are being crushed.

Maybe we have some genetic issue but all 3 of my sons and all of our cousins who bought these loved them but they REALLY STINK once they have gotten wet once. I had to keep another pair of shoes in the car in case we went into a restaurant. People a table away could smell them. They can be washed but after they were worn once they stunk again. We did not have this problem with our sandals or tennis shoes. But if you aren't self-conscious they did hold up well.

Oh dear these are useful shoes that are easy to get on an off, but our 5 year old told people all summer his feet smelled like a barnyard. When we inquired we were told the sandals were made out of recycled materials. Even the box SMELLED

I am returning these sandals today because my son says the back of them are too low and they always feel like they are falling off. They are not an open sandal style in the back.

these create blisters from rubbing as soon as they are wet

These were not the shoes that we received. I plan to reorder the keeps. The shoes we received were Pediped.
