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

Keens are a great summer shoe for the whole family, but especially perfect for kids. My boys each outgrew their last pair (both pairs made it through two springs, extremely busy summers, & falls as their daily footwear) and each chose this model and rainbow color for their new foot gear. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the rainbow coloring, initially thinking it would be too garish, but was happy when we opened them and I realized they weren’t anymore garish than kids typically enjoy being. They fall in line with our other Keen shoes; roomy, comfortable, and just as great for the many different outdoor activities as they are for everyday shoes.

Placed order 8am and received next day 1pm. Comfortable, good quality and machine washable. Have 4 pair of these Keen shoes.

If I could, I'd give these shoes 10 stars. I have 5 grandchildren, ages 3 to 14. For years, every spring I have bought each of them a pair of Keen Newport H2's. These are without exaggeration the best children's shoe ever invented. They are comfortable, cute, washable, protect their toes and give great support for growing feet, and aren't ridiculously expensive. They never, EVER wear out. Mountains, beach, hiking, camps, school and woods - they are perfect for everything these active kiddos can dish out. Sure do wish they'd been around when my children were little!

My son loves them. They are a good sturdy sandal for a growing rough boy.

We love Keens but I wish they had half sizes.

size 7 boys is an 7.5-8.5 in women's

Great fit and style. I'm a women's size 5, and the 3 Little Kid fits perfectly -- with and without socks. I have a foot drop issue, so I need a comfortable shoe that straps securely. This shoe works for me. The tie dye style is very colorful and fun.

Don't know what cheap open cell rubber compound the sole is made out of, but these stink so terrible. My 4yr old son wore them for three days and the odor was so bad I wanted to burn them. I scrubbed the sole with baking soda/vinegar paste and let it sit for a few hours, then washed them on hot with some bleach and it got the stink out. I had to repeat this process 5 times before I just require my boys to wear ankle socks with them. That seems to have eliminated the odor problem, but now I'm buying lots of inexpensive socks.

My son lives in Keens almost year round until he grows out of them. These never wear out!

My son has had Keen sandals for five Summers. They are the best for a busy boy.

A great quality shoe for my 6 year old, and he loved the different color option. Easy for her m to get on and off by himself. We had a hand me down pair from a friend and were so excited to size up with these. He has regular width feet and these fit him great.

Great product , great service and super fast and free shipping.

Great shoes. Both of our kids have these. Live in them. Thankfully they wash well.

Love these shoes. Don't have to worry about my kids tripping over their flip flops running around. Comfortable - kids like to wear them. This is our 6th pair between 2 boys.

My son loves his keens. Style and quality that we look forward to every year! Just wish keen sandals came in half sizes...

I bought these for my 6.5 year old son who is tall for his age and wears a size 13.5-1 (bought size 1). They fit right out of the box and he says they are comfortable. He needed covered shoes that are tough and water play-capable for camp and these fit the bill. Definitely pricier than other kid summer shoe options but I have the option of trying to pass them down to his little brother when he grows out of them by next summer. Also, the cheaper ones they sell in big box stores tend to wear out before the end of the summer these are definitely built to last. With Zappos' generous return policy I think trying out or even buying a few to size correctly if needed is a no brainer.

LOVE these shoes! get tons of compliments too! very comfy and colorful.

The perfect summer show for the active kid! My son loves these....part sandal part sneaker. Perfect for summer camp.

I've always been a fan of Keens especially this style. This is the third pair I've purchased for my daughter and probably the 10th pair collectively as a family. While I prefer a more sleek looking shoe for myself, for the kids and my husband this shoe is great. It's versatile like a gym shoe in the sense that has a rugged outsole and protective toe cap so the kids can run around outside, but it keeps their feet cool like a sandal for the summer. It fit true to size for my daughter, and she wears them for every occasion in the summer. We got the red ones because she wanted a less cliche "girly" color. If you are looking for a gym shoe type sandal that can get wet, muddy, and whatever else life throws at you, then this is the shoe. Whenever they're smelly or dirty, I just throw them in the wash, air dry, and then they're good to go for her. ext adventure.

My son loves Keens! Very comfortable and machine washable. Sizing is very reliable.

My son loves these shoes, this is his second pair. I ordered him a half size up so they would last him a little longer. Forget flip flops and spend a little more with these versatile sandal/water shoe.

I order these shoes every year for my boys. They are very durable and allow my boys to run around and play hard without being in sneakers. They wash up great too. Very nice summer shoe.

These are the second pair of Newport H2s my grandson has had. They are an excellent shoe that he wears for just about everything he does in an active day. The first pair of these he had lasted until he outgrew them, and having adjustability in the lacing as well as the Velcro closure is an awesome feature. The soles are sturdy and they dry quickly when wet. My granddaughter has similar KEEN shoes, as does my husband, and they are always great shoes!
