Customer Reviews KEEN Kids Newport H2 (Toddler)

The best shoes ever! My 17 month old loves wearing her shoes! They have held up great through the summer, too. I have washed them in the washing machine several times and they come out like new. I know they are a little more pricey then some other choices, but I think it is well worth it!

Perfect summer shoe! I really like the Newport a lot, we've had these the past two summers and they are great. I love the versatility (we wear them with everything). They are easy on and off, and even after a whole summer of every day wear, they look just as good as new (easily passed on to the next sibling if needed). I don't care if they stomp in puddles because they are so easily washed and they don't get slippery when wet (unlike Crocs which can cause a major head injury when a kid goes running on wet cement!). They definitely can get stinky, but I don't mind because they wash up so well. Perfect summer shoe for your little one, I think we will be wearing these for years to come!

I love these shoes. They are wonderful for toddlers because the closed toe provides protection for tripping. I do find that my daughter's feet sweat a bit in them; they're not as airy as other sandals. I bought these to fit over my daughter’s ankle-foot orthotics, and they're not bad. It's hard to find shoes that fit braces, but I think Keen's are definitely worth a try for those in the same boat.

Got the shoes the next day, love Zappos for that, and put them on. I knew they fit, because we had tried them on locally, they just didn't have the pink. They were her first non-soft soles, and she seemed to adapt quickly and was comfortable in them. Love them! They are adorable, easy to wash, and seem comfortable. Only thing is they make her feet stinky, and other have said the same. But, overall a perfect summer shoe!

These are great shoes. I got them for my 2 year old who is into everything. They just hose off and dry quickly. Much sturdier than the crocs -- she doesn't slip and slide around in them or get blisters like with the crocs. And safer for the playground.

LOVE these sandals!!! My daughter originally wanted "fancy" sandals, but I wanted something that would protect her toe, so I ordered these. I didn't think she would like them, but she loves them too! In fact, these are the shoes she prefers to wear. They fit well, and wear great! I love the fact that they are washable. I just rinse them off or throw them in the washing machine and come out looking great. Perfect sandals for toddlers and busy kids. They also seem really comfortable, when I need sandals I will try a pair for myself.

Cutest sandals/sneakers for the summer! We bought 3 this summer for our 5, 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old. They all love wearing these shoes. Very comfy and easy to get on and off. Perfect for running around the park on hot days and splashing in puddles in the rain. I took the advice of the other reviewers and ordered up a size. This worked perfect for all 3 pairs. Zappos has the best customer service!!!

Perfect toddler sandal - For the active, on the go child - these shoes cannot be beat. I have four children, and for the past three summers these shoes have been our choice. Get 'em wet, run in them, hike in them, ride bikes and go to the beach- all weather, all days - these are the shoes for the summer!

This shoe has a great look and is super versatile. I bought a pair for myself so I could match my boys, and they are super comfortable. However, this Keen is not good for toddler feet. My kids don't have cankles, but they are not perfectly skinny either. Their feet are not wide, just standard widths. Unless your kid is a totally thin ectomorph with longer, bonier bones, don't bother. It's annoying to have to stuff your 2 yr old's foot in a tight little shoe all the time. I bought these initially because my 2 and 4 yr old boys are super active and I wanted a closed toe shoe that they could run in the street in as well as get wet in. The Keen concept was perfect. But getting a foot in and out of the shoe, especially if the shoe is wet, is kind of hard. I totally wanted a shoe that my kids could put on and off by themselves, but they always needed help when their feet were wet, which is the main reason I bought the shoe! And my boys have a lot of initiative and can do all their other shoes by themselves, so they are not whiners. Also, I bought the next size up like they said to do as well. DEFINITELY BUY THE NEXT SIZE UP! But all I did was create extra work for myself by putting them in these shoes to go to the pool, swim lessons, etc. in. The velcro strap is annoying if your kid has a higher instep. Make sure your child knows how to press the button on the plastic ball that tightens the elastic cord so that they don't strip the nylon down to the elastic (like mine did). The shoe fits so snugly, though, that you won't really need the drawstring. Honestly, I am not sure why they don't just make it into a moc with a more snug neoprene ankle part and lose the strap as well. It seems those are just there for style. Overall, I really wish I hadn't gotten the shoe...

Love! Love! Love these shoes! Our little girl loves them too. We just ordered a pair for my nephew too.
