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

My only complaint is that the online photo doesn't represent the colors properly. They look lighter in the photo than in person. For example, what look like pink highlights in the photo, are actually red.

I usually wear a women’s size 6. I ordered a girls size 4 and it fits perfectly. It seems wide but you can pull the drawstring and tighten them. They seem comfy. The colors are bright.

Great summer shoe for playground and water. But does tend to rub my daughter on the side of her foot.

I loved these shoes but the one thing I didn't like was that when I was on my scooter I (accidentally) rubbed it against the side of my porch and the designed part got a little torn. But, overall, they are so comfortable and you can walk, hike, or bike in them. I've never gotten a blister in these shoes.

I have two girls (6 & 8) who needed water shoes for summer vacation, so ordered the Keen Newport H2 and the Keen Whisper. The Newport H2 had cuter colors/patterns, but my daughters both preferred the fit and comfort of the Whisper. The Newport H2 is a little heavier and offers a velcro ankle strap and bungee. The Whisper seemed like it would be harder to get on and off because there was only a bungee, but again, both girls preferred the ease of the Whisper.

My daughter has been using these sandals every summer since she turned 3 (5 years). Love them! Flexible for summer fun in sand, mud, water. Never smell, clean up easily, so comfortable. Wish would come in half sizes!

These shoes are great for living in Florida...for the beach or theme parks or any place that tennis shoes are too hot, but sandals don't have enough support. The only complaint I have is the difficulty of taking them on and off my 4 year old. She can't do it by herself. Once they are on though you can't beat the durability and quality of the shoes!

I really really wanted to like these. They are just so cute. But they had no arch support and the toe didn't have enough room. I usually like Keen shoes. But the close toed sandals I didn't find fit well at all. I tried lots of different sizes and styles. This particular style is very cute on in terms of the colors and the pattern.

These keen sandals are very comfortable and good on long walks. The arch support is very good and the foot bed is fairly soft.. They run true to size. I wear these most of the time. The only problem is that they are not as wide or as high in the instep as they used to be (bummer. why mess with a good thing?) and don't fit with my regular socks.

The shoe was ok, it's made well but it was uncomfortable bc the inside must be waterproof or something, its slick and foamy material, not a padded regular insole. That's not what we were hoping for. But otherwise, if u need a waterproof shoe it's good.

We are a Keen family. Love them. Live in them, all summer. The fact that we can wear them barefoot, through all kinds of terrain (camping - wear them in a shower! It's a win-win - shoes get washed off, feet are kept off the campground shower floor!) And they just look great, season after season. Anti-microbial so they don't get stinky, too! Was holding off on getting my youngest a pair - they are pricey for a kid as fickle as she is. She tends to wear shoes once or twice and then complain that they hurt her feet and never wear them again. We had a crushed toe incident and I bit the bullet and bought these for our 7 y/o daughter about 4 weeks ago. They protect her toes so much better than open-toe sandals or flip flops, but they are still cool enough to wear in the heat of the summer. They do take a rather long time to dry after getting wet, when compared to the rest of the family's adult-sized, neoprene-backed leather Keens. I usually wear mine until they dry and it only takes an hour or less. Her's have stayed damp all day after getting wet, or being washed and not sitting in front of the fan long enough to dry. And they smell horrid. These kids sandals do not resist odors like the adult versions. Not sure if it's a difference in the soles, or if my kid just has toxic feet? We took a road-trip across the country and I could tell the minute she took her sandals off. We ended up making her keep them in a plastic bag when not wearing them. Whew. None of her other shoes have an odor issue, so I'm guessing it's this pair, and I don't have any other children's Keens to compare them to. But it's an issue we can live with. She loves them. Great shoe.
