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

My 8 year old daughter loves these shoes. They are her everyday go-to shoes for school or play. She loves that they come in girl colors and owns both the purple and the pink. She has even been known to wear them with dresses. Perfect for running and playing outside.

Keen shoes are excellent quality. Our granddaughter is very picky with fit. She loves her closed toe Keen sandals. Zappos is outstanding. Free shipping both ways, great selection and very competitive prices makes Zappos my #1 choice for shoe shopping. It's easier than going to a brick and morter store.

So far so good! We really haven't had to many chances to wear them. But he seems to do well in them. We bought them for our two family vacations this summer and I have a feeling he will do well in them.

Last summer, my daughter received a pair of these as a hand me down. They were her new go-to shoes for daily wear. This year we had to get her another pair. They are obviously great with shorts and capris but also cute with casual cotton dresses. They protect the toes like no other for a toddler, can get wet, be washed and hold up very, very well. My only complaint is they do get a little stinky (even with washing), which I can't really see any way around as toddler's feet sweat so much. My daughter was recently measured as a 9 on one foot and 8.5 for the other. The 9's fit her perfectly but I kept the 10's so she can wear them all summer and into fall. Highly recommend.

My daughter likes her new Keen shoes. The pattern is very pretty and will match a lot of her clothes. My son has been wearing Keens for several years and loves them.

These shoes were bought for our granddaughter as gift. They are great. She has to have toes covered for school and they work. Great quality and so cute. Zappos has the greatest shipping of any place we have shopped. We live in very rural area and you make it so convenient. Thanks.

Great quality, super stylish. They are perfect with dresses or for athletics. My daughter has narrow feet and these can be tightened to fit almost any width.

Daughter loves these shoes. Honestly I dont normally spend this amount of money on kid shoes. But so far its been well worth it. They wash up great, dont stink (so far) and they keep her toes safe! She also has somewhat of a wide foot, and these fit great for her. \r\n\r\nLoved them so much I got my younger son a pair also. They\'re nice sandals that can even be worn with socks.

I really like these shoes...we used to be a Crocs family but not anymore. I got them for my DD and she picked out the pattern herself. They are really cute with everything she wears and they are great because she can wear them on the playground at school. Since they are closed toed and have a closed heel they are allowed at her school as play shoes. I love that when she plays they don't come off her feet like her Crocs did. No more losing a shoe when you are running. I do find they run a bit small. She normally wears a 12 but I had to get her a 13 in these. The same for my other kids in the same style shoe, I had to go up one size. I haven't tried washing them, but my sister has and says they come out looking like new. They seem very comfortable on her feet. No complaints heard. I got these for my other kids who have wider feet and they fit great. For this pair for my DD they fit her great too. She has a more narrow foot but we just cinched the toggle cord on the top of the shoe and they fit great. Overall, I would recommend them. A little expensive but worth it. We will be buying more when she outgrows these! As always Zappos was fantastic to deal with...great customer service!

I love these shoes and so does my little one! They were a little complicated at first for her to take on and off. Otherwise, I couldn't be more pleased!

Little kids look adorable in these sandals. Comfortable for play and protective for their feet. I highly recommend them.

I love these shoes. My daughter loves these shoes. If she could have one in every color--we would. They run very true to size, are incredibly comfortable, and incredibly durable. They look great, even after she’s worn them dozens of times!

Could not ask for more! My kids lived in Crocs. My kids (6, 4 and 2) have flat feet and my 4-year-old pronates badly. I have started having them live in these and use Crocs only for the pool. These shoes are great for their feet and they can play in the pool or creek in them and you just hose them off and they look like new! Support like a tennis shoe but convenience of a sandal. Do make sure you are ordering the ones with velcro though. It makes it sooo much easier! Even my daughter, who is in to her cute flip flops, loves her pink Keens

Looks great and is comfortable for my 3 year old! My daughter has a wide foot and this shoe fits great.

Thrilled! I was so thrilled with the quality of the toddler keen shoe. I have the adult sandal so i knew it was an excellent shoe. It was a bit pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. I would buy another pair when she out grows these because she wears them all the time! Also, they are nice and easy to get on and they are wide which is great! Zappos delivers in such a timely manner too! Thank you!

Better than expected - My 3 y.o. daughter wanted purple sandals and we wanted something she could wear to walk to the beach, play on the playground and not have to take off when she wanted to run in the sprinklers. She got a pair of these and loves them. She can put them on herself, they fit great and she wears them to preschool where they play outside a lot.

The New H2 is a VAST improvement over the kids Newport. I love keens for myself and have several pair. Last summer I got the Newport 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.

My daughter wasn't crazy about this shoe but it also didn't have sparkles/glitter! But this is an excellent shoe. It can tend to make my kid's feet hot. I love their ruggedness. My kids require a size to 1/2 size larger than advertised.

These are great sturdy shoes that my daughter has worn for about a month now. I love the print - purple with pink ladybugs. Other places sell this shoe, but not this print! I will say that contrary to other reviews, my daughter's feet can be pretty stinky when I take these off. And summer hasn't even really kicked in yet. Also, the velcro tab is a bit annoying to put on her feet. It has to stay under the loop, so it is always getting stuck on itself. Sort of annoying and makes it harder to put the shoes on. Also, I wish this shoe came in half sizes. There is such a big jump between full sizes for kids. But it's a good solid shoe and I took the plunge because hopefully my younger daughter can wear the same pair in a couple of years. And you normally get what you pay for with shoes. So I hope these are worth the investment!

I got this for my 3.5 year old daughter. Love the style, love how sturdy these are. Last year she had a pair of Keens that just had a simple velcro closure. The velcro strap on these is not a simple open and close - it's a threaded strap that needs to be loosened and retightened with each on and off, and it's a little too much for her to do on her own. That's the only problem I have with these - otherwise, they're perfect. I have a feeling we'll be purchasing a pair of Keen sandals every spring for the next several years.

We love ordering from Zappos! My daughter and I wear keens, I have ordered several pairs. I especially like ordering hers online, I get one every season so I know what size to advance into. I love the way they support her feet, for summer shoes they can get wet and not lose their support. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars is they are a little trouble for her to put on by herself. Easy to wash too!
