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

Nice, sturdy, flexible sandal. Kids love the patterns, they wanted to put them on immediately and then wore them around the house all day. Only reason I did not give it a 5 is I don't know yet how they will wear as the season progresses. I expect they will be great, but won't really know until Sept rolls around.

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.

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!!

My son requires a 1 Wide. I ordered a 2, hoping that it would work. I didn't. My son refused to wear them saying that his little toes are being crushed.

Oh dear these are useful shoes that are easy to get on an off, but our 5 year old told people all summer his feet smelled like a barnyard. When we inquired we were told the sandals were made out of recycled materials. Even the box SMELLED

I am returning these sandals today because my son says the back of them are too low and they always feel like they are falling off. They are not an open sandal style in the back.

these create blisters from rubbing as soon as they are wet
