This is my go-to sandal for my kids (now ages 5 & 10) every summer. Love the closed toe to protect feet during camp play. It's light weight, airy, and easy for little hands to put on themselves. So rugged and easily cleaned in the washing machine when they get stinky (just don't put them in the dryer or the rubber will separate from the canvas).

Love these sandals that little kids can put on without assistance, breezy, and rugged enough to satisfy mom that little toes are protected. only reason bought the keen over the bean was because of the color selection, kids love the shoes with accent colors. these will last all summer and into fall, buy them every year.

We are a one income family and have two boys, currently five and seven. I try to save money any way I can, but I buy at least one pair of these every summer. They are indestructible, clean up well, and my kids can run, climb, hike, bike, wade, swim, etc. in one day, without ever changing shoes. I clean them up well at the end of the season and pass them on when they are outgrown. Little brother has worn every pair of older brother's. They are worth every penny, in my opinion.

Keen continues to be my "go to" brand for my son's sandals. I love that the velcro straps are adjustable; they fit my son's narrow feet and ankles. I also love the closed toe option because he is safer and has more support in these than flip flops. If that's not enough, being able to toss them in the washer and dryer makes keeping them clean and fresh very easy. My son is between a 2 and 2.5, so I went up to a 3 to make sure he'd be able to wear them longer.

My boys love camo so we love the bottom of these shoes. Wish there was a blue camo too. Great playing, climbing, running shoe for summer.

My daughter plays at our river property every summer and needs to have good , sturdy shoes to wear in the rocky bottomed river. These are the best! I have been buying them for her for several summers now. She out grows them before she wears them out. They can also be worn to school because they are closed toed so that is really nice. They are super cute & go with anything. I highly recommend these shoes.

These are great summer sandals for little feet. Their toes are protected. The majority of the top of their feet are protected from sunburn. Yet, they are open enough to be a cool shoe for summer. I just bought another pair for my grandson since they were so great last summer.

My 9 year old loves these. Every spring I get the kids a pair of these Keen sandals. They hold up to a full spring and summer of kid use and I love that they can be washed.

These shoes have a special place in my heart because when I think of my little daughter I see her in these...because she's rarely not wearing them. It's now nearly winter, and she still tries to wear them everywhere she goes, and I often let her. She's worn them in the Pacific Northwest, in the mountains of Virginia, all over Disneyworld walking for miles and miles. It's funny, because I've never really asked her about them, but I know she loves them because they're her go to footwear. She has climbed mountain trails in these, waded creeks, walked into oceans, etc. I've washed them a couple of times but I have to face it: it's time for a new pair. I'll always smile when I think of them, though. She really is the best kid ever, better than I ever could have hoped for, and I probably don't deserve her.

This is my second pair of kids Keen sandals! I a blessed with small feet that allow me to wear kids sizes, which I often do for casual shoes. I had my first pair for 4 years of heavy wear in all kinds of conditions including ocean kayaking (followed by portaging said kayak .25 miles) as well as hiking 7miles at a the base of the Grand Canyon! My Keens go everywhere with me and keep my feet happy and supported! I bought this new pair and they have the same comfort as my first! They already have joined me hiking in the Yorkshire Dales in England, as well as small walks around town every weekend! I would recommend these shoes to anyone!

I got these in Dahlia Mauve/Periwinkle and love them! They clean easily and are excellent late spring and summer water/ play shoes that work even in early fall if there is warmish weather. The fit of the shoe is a little wide but not much. I love them because they are comfortable, tough and the fit of the shoe is great. Thank you, L.L.Bean, for your great quality and fun style!

I love, love, love these sandals! I was first introduced to them when I received a hand-me-down pair from my sister (and they were second hand when she got them). I was so impressed with the quality and the excellent shape they were in after so many uses. They can get wet without getting ruined, I don't have to worry at all what my son does while he's wearing them. When he outgrew the hand-me-down pair, I had to buy a pair. I know I'll be able to pass them down to my other sons. He hiked to waterfalls and splashed in the water with no worries. I also recently learned that Keen will replace the elastic for free if necessary--I haven't had any issues with it yet but good to know that they stand behind their product! If I had to name a downfall, it is that they take a while to dry once wet. Otherwise, no complaints at all!

Arrived on time, correct size and color! Keens are a great outdoor, go-to shoe for my family. Comfortable, can get wet, perfect for hikes in riverbeds, waterfalls and on boat. Thanks again Zappos!

Love these shoes! The extra width is much appreciated. The only issue is the velcro strip is stiff and there is a section that is not kept off the skin. Seems ok after several wearings.

My girls love these shoes. They will wear them from now until it snows. These are great because they can wear them to school. They are both a little flat footed and they can wear these shoes all day long, even theme parks and I don't hear any complaints about feet hurting.

My kids are 9 and 11 and have been wearing Keens for over 5 years now. We live in FL and they are excellent year round shoes here. To avoid the "Keen Stink," just spray some Dr Scholls Odor X inside every couple of weeks. This is the only thing that keeps our stink from coming back. I would machine wash, scrub, etc and still the stink remained but Odor X fixed all that. Now I can give a full 5 stars! We do really love these versatile shoes.

Best Kids Shoes! I buy my son 1 or 2 pairs of Keene Newport sandals every summer. They are comfortable, sturdy and don't stink as badly as some other sandals (after a hot sweaty day of summer camp). They also can easily be tossed into the wash for a quick refresh. Love these shoes.

Very Red and very awesome. This is my son's 4th pair in his nearly 7 years. They hardly show even heavy wear. We've never had stink issues. They're classy enough to wear with jeans or slacks in a pinch without being ridiculous, and comfy with a nice, wide toe-box for my Flintstone-footed kid! Keen and Zappos rocks!

Starting as early as I can, I get Keens Newports for my kids and that's their summer shoe for the year. They last forever, take a beating, get handed down, and are comfortable and attractive. I love them!

Ordered these shoes for a trip out west and knew I was going to be in different terrains. I put them on the day we flew out and wore them all day every day for 7 days. I really can't say enough. Thanks also to Zappos for their excellent service. By the way I am a 62-year old who can wear a child's shoe! I also have adult Keen I like as well.
