Great Sandals. My son really loves them. He is not allowed open-toed sandals at school, but because the H2 are close-toed, he is free to use them. He tells me that they are very comfortable for long use and they are good for any terrain. We like all the color selections and the easy clean up.

Both of my boys are on their second pairs of these Keen sandals. They are a step up from flip flops for warm weather wear. Our guys wear them to the pool and can also wear them for golfing. Because they have wider feet I order a size up. The shoes are very adjustable so ordering up works like a charm. The adjustablility and ordering up a size has this far enabled us to get TWO summers out of their Keen sandals. The shoes are made well enough that they look great the second summer. Nothing bad to be said. They are a bit pricey, but have been worth their cost, to us.

Great Shoe -
My son loves this shoe. It runs about a half size smaller than other shoes he has but Zappos great service allows us to return them. Worth the money for sure. My son LOVES these!

These are great shoes. My sons wear them as an alternative to tennis shoes and sandals for the summer. They wear like iron and are easy-to-clean. The type with the Velcro closure are easy for even young kids to manage (my boys began wearing them at 4 years of age). The covered toe keeps toes protected. The width can be adjusted using the toggle. They don\'t work the greatest as pool shoes because they can be hard for little ones to slip on with wet feet, but overall they\'re a very versatile shoe.

Love the shoes! My 10 year old son purchased these for a wilderness trip, but wears them to school every day as well. They are great for PE; as good as sneakers and pass the dress code requirements for closed toe and heel. He can wear them in cooler weather with socks. My only "con" is that they have a powerful offgassing smell that has diminished with time, but was almost unbearable at first. Kind of like rubber/urine smell. Love them so much I think "pros" are well worth the initial stink.

My 8-year-old son pronates so he needs a shoe with a lot of support. This is his second pair of Keens. Both pairs were worn on Disney World trips with lots of walking. I'm so glad he had these shoes!

Excellent sandal. Covered heel and woven polyester uppers are an improvement over the previous version I had. About half the price of the adult version with the same quality. Velcro strap improves fit. I normally wear a 3 in the kids version and the 4 fits fine on me.

My sister gave these to my 3 year old son & I just love them! I love the fact that the toes are covered & the flexibility is great. The only problem I have with these is that at the end of the day, his feet smell horrible! I've washed them & it still didn't work. I'm going to try soaking them in a baking soda solution I read about online. His feet have never smelled this bad in other shoes. Does anyone have the same problem? Other than the smell though, I love these & will get him another pair when he grows out of them.

They are well made and my kids love them. Considering they are a medium width, they seem to be a little wide, but my kids don't care. Very comfy.

I purchased these for my granddaughter and she loves them. They are her go to shoe for the summer. Ideal for play or casual dress-up; they don't get dirty like a sneaker. Cool and comfortable in hot weather with extremely good support. I would highly recommend the Keen Newport Sandals.

Good sandals, 1/2 the price of adult sizes. Covered heels helps with dry and cracked heels in the summer.

Great sandal/shoe. Son wore them a week straight during our trip to Disney World with no complaints. Only con is sandals get very stinky! A little foot spray cleared that right up. Great sandal from Keen!

My 9 year old son wore these shoes every day on a 10 day trip to Disney World. Not one complaint about his shoes. No blisters, no aches and pains. I was hesitant to spend this amount of money on shoes for a 9 year old. These are a great shoe and worth every penny.

We purchased these shoes for our 10 year old and used them for white water rafting on the Salmon River in Idaho. They of course got very wet while rafting, but were always comfortable. They also dried very quickly. He continues to wear them daily at home. A great shoe.\r\nLisa

My son wears these Keen water shoes/sneakers every day during summer camp. They can get wet but they dry out, rather than having soaking wet sneakers. They also protect the toe and foot from cuts. The sole is like a sneaker and has good support. These are great for active kids or adults whose feet get wet from being active outdoors.

I love these shoes. Everyone in my family has their pair. I think every child that spends any time playing outside, girl or boy, whether they are playing in a creek, at a beach, on a boat, etc should have a pair of these shoes. They hold up well, are sized in a way that my children usually wear them for 2 sizes and hold up to be passed down to the next child. They are super comfortable and it does not matter whether they get wet or dirty, they hose off and are ready to be worn again! They do fit wide, which is good for one of my kids, but does not seem to affect the one with narrower feet. The bungee and neoprene makes it easily adjustable for all types of feet. They have a good arch support and are very secure so they can be very active. If we go on a trip, these shoes have to come along. Last summer only my 2 kids in the neighborhood had these shoes, this summer about 10 of the kids have them since they held up so well. Even a couple of the moms got some. Of course, I ordered these one night and less than 24 hours later they were sitting on my front porch. Only Zappos can do that! We were getting ready for a big boat trip and my daughter outgrew her old pair (by jumping 3 sizes from a 12 to a 3) in the two weeks before the trip. I needed this new pair right away and Zappos delivered!

Zappos delivered these unbelievably fast. They're for my oldest son who gave his old H2s (still in perfect condition after a year and a half of heavy wear) to his brother. They wear them literally everywhere. The boys are drawn to water like frogs and so we needed something that was both waterproof and durable, while at the same time comfortable. These sandals are fantastic and the boys love them (they call them "Michigan" sandals)! Will by them another pair when they outgrow these.

Got these for my daughter when we couldn\'t find the color she wanted in local stores. She loves the Velcro closure which makes entry and exit so much easier/faster than her last pair. There are a couple of spots that rub, but still a good fit. And Zappos\' superior service boggles the mind!

I first bought a pair of these for myself, after hearing so much about them. Then, I bought them for our 3 children and my husband. Granted these are not an inexpensive shoe, but they are worth the money! I wish they made keens in a dress shoe I can wear to work! The kids feet are comfortable walking, running, etc. With a different pair of sandals, my son and daughter complained about their feet hurting after a while, with the keens, they are in them all day- no complaints. The covered toe is perfect for protecting the toes!

These shoes are great! My son wears them in the water, on the beach, in the mud...a quick wash with the hose and they look like new again. I will order these again.

My kids LOVE their Keens. These are easy to get on and off and very comfortable. My son wears these shoes everyday. I would suggest to go up a size and they are wide at the top of the foot. You can\'t go wrong wtih Keens. A great shoe!

These are great sandals. Perfect for all kinds of terrain & activity. My kids were even allowed to wear these sandals to phys ed class in school. Great comfort from the 1st wear, never caused any rubbing or soreness.

wonderful shoes. my boys love them. So much support for the feet. Much better and safer than crocs for the summer. Very easy to clean, just add water and leave them out to dry. no more sneakers for summer camps. These keens protect the feet, and keep them cool.
