These Keen runabouts are great for my 8 year old son who plays for hours outside every day. We bought them for protection and cool ventilation for this summer. They wash and wear, hold up to hiking, running, wading, climbing trees, playing in dirt, mud, and water. He selected the aqua blue/lime color; the shoes look good as new after running all Spring in them. We get lots of compliments on these good looking, well-made shoes. He already has his next pair picked out!

These are beautiful - but they are melon colored, not orange. My son said they look 'girly' so I have to return them and find a more boyish color!

This is the second pair of sandals I'm buying for my son. They're sturdy and comfortable, though the current ones seem a little big (my son seems to be slightly between sizes right now). I like that they're a little wider in the toe box. Wish he didn't outgrow them so quickly!

These are perfect summer shoes for active kids. The camps that my kids have gone to usually require that the kids wear sneakers but I hate putting sneakers on them when the weather is so hot. These shoes are the perfect solution. I am giving them 5 stars even though we haven't own them for that long and cannot comment on their durability but we are so happy with them so far that they're getting 5 stars.

We have bought different brands of this type of shoe and Keen is by far the best. Both of my boys (5 and 3) have a pair. They are cute, easy to take on/off, durable, comfortable. Great for the beach or water park but can be worn for nearly any activity due to the protected toe. The only place my boys can't wear theirs is to the park where the mulch gets in the spaces between the straps.

These shoes have withstood a full week of adventure camp. My son loved them.....comfortable wet or dry. I did follow the reviews and order the next size up. They fit great with a little room to grow. Customer service experience was also amazing.

We buy a pair of Keen Newport H2 for each of our boys at the beginning of the summer. These are the only shoes we buy because they work for water, play, or even khaki pants kind of dress occasions (for little kids). They do eventually stink, but they last and are comfortable. They are so easy to put on that even the 3-year-old can put on his own. I do think they run a tad on the small size, so go up to the next size if you are unsure.

My daughter has worn this style of sandal for several summers. It is the perfect summer shoe... cute colors, comfortable, can be a water shoe, and washes beautifully in the washing machine.

This is the fourth pair of Keens that I have purchased for my kids. My son absolutely loves these shoes for the summer, and I feel much better knowing that they will stay securely on his feet and not fly off. He can run, jump, play on his scooter, etc without worrying about losing a shoe. This particular style has a full back, and not a strap. While I didn't realize that, my 7 year old prefers this style to the strap back that we had ordered previously.

These are GREAT summer shoes for kids. Feet are still well protected, but they are sandals and can get wet, etc. Son loves them.

These shoes are perfect for the summer! They are so nice for outside play. They provide a lot of protection while being waterproof and breathable.

I bought these because my 5 year old son is out in the desert and woods constantly, and needs the bumper toe protection above all else in sandals. Well, bumper toe and durability. Actually, bumper toe, durability and of course CAMOUFLAGE RADNESS! The fit is a little roomy, but that's just fine, he's a growing boy. He can get them on himself with a little perseverance. Great for bike riding, rock scrambling, beach walking, creek exploring, trail running, day camping, tree climbing, but mostly just plain getting your shoes on as quickly as possible so you can run out the door and play outside all summer. Thanks Keen, for making thoughtful and well-made shoes for active kids. Well worth the $.

Worth every pricey penny! I fully expect my 4 yr old to out grow these before they get trashed. He can wear these everywhere, ie pool, playground, etc... Best part, I do not have to search for a matching pair of socks!

What is not to love about these! They are so cute and they hold up spring to summer to fall - I always get a good price when I take them to the resale shop too. They come clean with a quick scrub and are much better than scuba type swimming shoes.

This is the 3rd year my kids will wear these shoes in the summer. They have protection in the front. So, no stubbed toes and should be OK for daycare. They can get wet & will dry nicely. Just rinse off to clean. This year my kids were excited to know that I would be ordering these for them. As with most LL Bean shoes they do run a little big. If your kid has a 1/2 size shoe I would suggest ordering down.

These are fabulous! I buy a pair for my son and daughter each season. They look good ALL summer long despite all that they endure, and can be passed on when they no longer fit.They withstand the busy days of a 5 year old from school, to playground and the sandbox. They are comfortable, look good and extremely well made. They dry quickly when wet and just work for all occasions. My son just loves them! WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

My wife and I bought our 5 year old a pair of these sandals a few years ago. Being a little boy he is rather tough on shoes. He use them as breaks for his tri-cycle, stomped throw water/mud puddles, over rocks, across the fresh cut grass, over the sand and into the ocean he went in his sandals, but they just would not wear out, faded a little but would not wear out.
For the preceding reason, we just bought two new pairs for him and his little sister. I think they are going to outlast me -- the sandals.
Oh and they loves their LL Bean sandals.

I love Keens, especially for my kids. This is the 5th or 6th pair of them that I have bought. My 6 year old actually asked me when we could get them, since he had grown out of his old ones. They are excellent shoe. They hold up so well that we have gotten a couple of years out of each pair by handing them down to siblings and cousins. They keep his toes protected and best of all they are washable! I just throw them in the washing machine and air dry them. I can't say enough about these shoes.

These sandals are a wonderful investment. They are a bit pricey initial investment but they last for years. I wore mine for 4-5 years and they're still in good shape-- just wanted a new pair. They do run big--use the LL bean shoe sizing chart before ordering.
