Rugged, take a lot of beating, look nice, very good arch support. We even bought the next size up when he outgrew these.

Bought these for my 1 year old son. First tried size 5 and they were too tight, then tried size 6 and they fit better, but don\'t stay on his feet. They are very cute looking shoes, but the heel is cut a bit low, and doesn\'t keep the shoe on very well. They will have to be returned, which is too bad because we were hoping the whole family could sport their Keens this summer. Zappos is wonderful-exceptional service.

The style and quality of these shoes can't be beat. The fit seems to run a little small so size up. I've had these for a couple of weeks and haven't let my little one wear them out of the house yet (he's in a toddler size 6). The reason being, I can't decide if we are going to keep them. The heel/back of the shoe seems just a little shallow and he easily kicks them off. I'm afraid we are going to be out in the stroller somewhere and I'm going to end up with one missing. I wish Keen would make them a little bit deeper so that they come up just a little bit higher on the back of the heel/ankle.

These shoes look great and my 3 year old was really eager to put them on. They feel comfortable to wear and wide enough for toddler feet. I felt that they run slightly big.

These shoes are perfect for an active toddler. They seem to run about 1/2 size too big, though, and can leave little red marks on wider feet. My toddler doesn't seem to mind them on at all and can run and climb in them. One big downside is that they are very smelly. Can't seem to do anything to make them stop smelling.

I love these shoes except this model runs small. I had to send them back because my son had last year's model in navy blue in a size 6, so I order the carnelian red this year in a 7. When I received the shoes the red 7 was actually smaller than the blue 6. Very disappointed in the inconsistent sizing. But they are great shoes that last forever and show no wear.

I bought these for my 2 (almost 3) year old this summer. They look great, hold up very well, and seem to be quite comfortable... but damn, are they smelly! My son does not have issues like this with any other shoes. I can easily get the smell out, but every time he wears them it comes back. Definitely not buying these again, but only because of the smell.

Perfect little summer shoes for my little guy. They look so cute on, and he can run and play well with them. The thick fabric is a little slow to dry-so they’re ok to get wet, but maybe not best for purposeful water play. We love them!

I bought these for my almost-2yo with very long, wide feet. I got a size 7, but noticed that they are the same size as Merrell Kids size 6, and the same as Saucony size 6.5. However, she threw a huge fit with her new Sauconys (I think the extra-wides aren't actually extra wide), but she loved these Keen sandals from the moment she stepped in them. Will purchase more, just need to size up.

We love these shoes. I just ordered another pair since my daughter grew out of these. She wore them exclusively for nearly 5 months and they still seem brand new. They're perfect for summer trips to the splash pad, trips to the playground, or walks around the neighborhood. The toe protection is great for little feet and the velcro is easy for quick on and off.

This is our second pair for our toddler son. He is turning 2 next month and we had to get him a 6 because the 5’s he was wearing we’re getting a bit snug. He absolutely loves them. Not only are they great for the water adventures but overall a great summer shoe for play. I like the hard edge that protects his toes from many trips and falling toys! My only complaint is they definitely do get stinky after a few weeks of wear. But what would you expect from a little boy!?

Fits My Daughter Perfectly, super comfortable, she’s only one and a half and she brings them to me every time I tell her to pick out her shoes. From the mom standpoint they’re very durable and hold up great plus they’re super cute!

I love these shoes! They were easy to put on my 16 month old’s chubby wide feet and he seems very comfortable in them. The normal width is much wider than other brands and they are a full size smaller than the Saucony shoes we also own. Overall a great buy.

Love these shoes! It's been very difficult to find shoes that my almost 2 year old will comfortably wear and he loves these! They are also very sturdy - the first time he wore them on his trike he dragged his toe on the asphalt and when we got home they still looked brand new! Very pleased with these, plan on buying the next size up when he outgrows them

I got this shoe for my toddler son. I wanted a shoe that was safe, comfortable and washable for summer and this fits the bill. He loves them too. A little expensive for a kids shoe, but worth it in my opinion.

I bought these shoes for my 2 year old who has become very persnickety about the shoes she will wear to daycare. We live in Florida and it’s hot and her feet get either filthy in sandals from outside play or sweaty gross in sneakers. I love the idea of a rugged sandal but kept running into problems with size, since my daughter has “thick” feet, or poor quality. I bought these shoes after being intrigued by the amazing reviews but nervous since they were so pricey for toddler shoes. I can now confirm they were worth the price! My daughter lovesssss them! (We got them in purple) And they have plenty of room to grow up, out and wide. I bought larger than her true size because I was nervous they’d be too small, but they seem to be slightly big (as in, they run pretty true to what your child wears now). Needless to say, I feel like I’m a super fan of Keen shoes and I will continue to find room in my budget for these!

As far as fit and looks go, these shoes are great. My boy wore them all summer long. He ran, he jumped, he kicked, he played... They went in the water, in the sand, on the concrete, on gravel, in the dirt, in mud, upstairs, downstairs, you name it ~ everywhere but outer space. The shoes have held up very well. My only complaint is the WRETCHED SMELL that comes from both the shoes and his feet when wearing them!!! This horrid odor has been known to CLEAR ENTIRE ROOMS (no lie) and to STING EYES (again, no lie). Only ONCE did an unknowing grandma remove these shoes from his feet in the confines of a car ride and no amount of Febreze could quell the damage. Ok I may be exaggerating slightly here ~ but the fact remains, these shoes S-T-I-N-K. I have looked up home remedies to kill the foul odor. I've soaked in hot, soapy water, followed by air-dry. I've sprinkled baking soda inside, then placed in ziploc bag and put in freezer overnight. I've used Clorox disinfectant wipes. These were just temporary remedies. The stench always returned within 2-3 days tops. Will I buy these again next summer in a bigger size for my growing boy? Yup. The durability and his comfort outweigh the vile funk permeating from these cute shoes. But that thing inside the shoe that says something about "odor-eating" is wrong, wrong, WRONG.

I love Keen products and I love their durability and simplicity when it comes to my toddler. I will continue to buy the products but my only complaint is stinky feet! My little guy is not even two years old and after he wears his Keens (plastic insoles) his feet smell like a smelly grown man's feet. Eew! I have a similar knock-off pair and the insole is cloth. I kind of wish that Keen offered this as an option. Like I said before, I love their products and durability - just not the stinky feet!

These are great shoes! My little girl gets tons of compliments on them and they are great for a toddler who is learning to walk/run. They are perfect for summer as her feet do not get so hot and sweaty. They are worth the money in my book because they are very similar to Stride Rite.

Very cute shoe - easy to get on and off, and fits well. Excellent quality. Keens will be staple shoe ware in our household for years to come. Keens only come in one width, which is a bit wide, but that's okay (my kids have wide feet).

I purchased these in a size 4 for my 16 month old. They are very cute and very sturdy. I like that they are supportive like a sneaker but offer some air for hot summer days. They are very easy to put on. I will definitely order these again!
