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

My boys love wearing the shoes. The shoes are cool looking and comfortable. One of their friends ended up with the same pair because of them. My only complaint is that their feet get very dirty and stinky at times.

These shoes are great! My son loves them. The color (Topaz) is fantastic for a little boy. They are very durable and he has gotten lots of compliments on them. They are pricey though.

I always thought these shoes were a little odd-looking, but I couldn't ignore how functional they were! I chose these for my daughters because they could be worn like sandals, worn all summer, and would be easy to clean. We chose to get this style because it was a closed back (closed toes and closed backs were a requirement for one of their summer day camps). They arrived quickly and I was surprised by how much my daughters and I loved them. They really are adorable and the colors are great! They've already worn them a ton and they have lived up to every expectation.

Much better since it's been redesigned with the velcro, wider opening. Much easier to get on. Hard wearing shoes that can get wet & be washed in the washing machine. They take a while to dry out though after being thoroughly soaked, that’s my only complaint. They do run a size small I think. Plenty wide enough, even for a wide little foot.

My 8 year old son is all about the faster the better and the new velcro strap gave him a moment to stop and give his opinion of boo when he tried them on for the first time...he was not happy!! But he loved them last year so I got him to give them a shot and he does like them but why oh why change something so great??

The color (crocus) wasn't as pink as I would like but these are the second pair I've bought my daughter and she lives in them.

I bought these shoes especially for a 4 day canoeing/camping trip (which turned out to have a significant portion of hiking and rock climbing). They were amazing. My only complaint was that they took forever to dry, so that combined with sweaty feet and river water made them smell by day four. However I threw them in the wash (2x) and they are good as new! They had superior traction while rock climbing to the top of a waterfall, and were great for wading through the rushing water and small debris of cold springs. I bought the child size 6 even though I normally wear a women's 8-8.5, and they fit perfectly.

I purchased these for both my son and daughter. My daughter likes to wear them with socks and thinks they are the best. My son likes to wear them however, without socks these shoes produce the most horrible stinky smell! We all know when the little brother has taken his shoes off!

Sandals sized exactly as described. Very comfortable on land, sand and in water. Good arch support. They eliminated the need to take sandals, walking shoes and water shoes on our day trips during a trip to the Florida Keys. Note: sole indicates "non-marking". If you are buying for boating, note that the gray sides will leave a mark (although easily rubbed off).

I ordered these shoes for all three of my kids...they are awesome...they are very wide in the ball of the foot but that doesn't seem to bother my narrow footed child (especially with the bugee cord that tightens them up a bit)...and they fit my daughter perfectly..(she usually has to have a wide shoe). They do start to smell bad quickly (even though they say they are treated with the antimicrobial treatment)...the shoes are just so versitile-they wear them everywhere...I ordered them with enough room where they can wear them with socks this spring, then without socks in the summer. Oh, also, my daughter usually has MAJOR issues with the way clothes, especially shoes, fit her (most clothes really bother her)yet she loves these shoes-there are no places on them that have the possibility of irritating or rubbing. I've also heard that you can throw them in the washing machine then let them air dry easily...but I haven't tried that yet. I've read reviews on these shoes everywhere and the worst I have ever read is that they get smelly-which is true but they are still GREAT shoes, worth the money b/c they function as a tennis shoe and a sandal (and what kid wants to wear a hot tennis shoe in the summer?)!

These sneaker style sandals are school approved. They cover toes, have full heel coverage and rubber soles. They check all of the boxes. The depth of this shoe is shallow. My little one has lively feet but she still has that baby flat foot with a high instep and these leave marks all across the top of her foot. She did great in them for a while but as soon as the weather turned humid, these became uncomfortable telling me she does not have any room to spare. Keen, please make wide widths!

This is my 4th pair. I have loved everything about this sandal and they wear forever! However, this last pair has a short strap across the top. For children or adults with a high instep this latest version is virtually impossible to get over the top to the Velcro attachment area. Keen can easily fix this. I hope they do!! One other issue this year is the limited color choices! I don't know if that is Keen or Bean? Prior to this last pair I would have given them a TEN!!
