Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:
Purchased this for our 2 yr old granddaughter. She loves her shoes! We as adults also enjoy Keen shoes. We either buy her shoes at REI or stride rite. Very versatile, even in wet weather-a cross between a sandle and a tennis shoe.

I loved loved loved them in sizes 6 and 7 but I didn't realize that starting from size 8 these shoes have different kind of strap (hook-and-loop strap). You can't see it from the picture. The hook-and-loop strap does not open the shoe up completely which make it hard for my 3 1/2 y.o. to put them on. Velcro strap is short. I got a note from my son's daycare which said "Your son can't put these shows on without help. Please bring different pair of shoes." Very embarrassing. Very DISAPPOINTED.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:
These are staples for my son each summer. In fact, since he started wearing shoes, these are the ONLY shoes I get for the summer. One pair will last the entire summer, but if I can find them on sale, I buy two pair just for variety.
I wont go on about how great they are (everyone else has) but know, this is THEE only shoe your child will need this summer.
Easy on and off. Durable and tough for the outdoors. They stay looking nice. If they get dirty or even muddy, you can throw them in the wash. They dry quickly in case he/she wears them in the water. You can dress him/her up in them for a nice dinner out (polo, jeans or shorts, keens = looking great!)
Two things to note: over the years, Keen has changed where their shoes are manufactured. In some years I notice that a size 5 (for example) looks the same as a size 6. Most of the time now if I order online, I buy two sizes and return whichever doesn't fit. VERY INCONSISTENT... which is the most disappointing thing from KEEN.
Second, the 2012 Newport has a closed back!!! I'm not happy about this! Their little feet were still protected with the open back. Now these are almost like shoes, not sandals... and I'm considering ordering a second pair this summer of a different KEEN style just so my son's feet can be exposed to a bit more air.
Grrrr... KEEN. I'm sure you had your reasons. The shoe is still great. But bummer, wish they hadn't changed that. :(

These are the second pair that we've bought for our toddler son. The only issue is that he outgrows them! I'm considering a pair for myself and I'm not a sandals guy.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:
These shoes are the most durable pair I have ever purchased in my daughter's entire four years. They hold up to running, scraping, jumping, water, mud, EVERYTHING! Throw them in the washer and they come out looking brand new. The colors are durable and lasting. I will be purchasing a new pair of these each summer for her. They work great for playing in the yard, trips to the pool, playing in the pond, water day at school, running in the sprinklers, as well as everyday activities. They are easy for her to put on with velcro closures. They do make her feet a bit sweaty, as they are summer shoes with a rubber bottom (no soft padding or fabric bottom) and dirt does get in them resulting in dirty toenails, but that would happen with any other type of sandal as well. I highly recommend these to everyone as your go-to shoe for summer!

This is our 3rd pair. They are slip resistant, easy to put on and take off, and dry very fast. The toe box is designed to protect those little tootsie's and have never failed us. He wears them everyday from now until then

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:
I bought these for my 9 year old son for our first trip to Maui. We will be using them for a hike where it will involve rather rocky, wet and muddy terrain from what I understand. Also, I was thinking long-term for school and for the annual camping trip that my husband takes the kids to the Sequioa's on Father's Day - this involves a lengthy hike that ends in a river.
At first my son did not like the looks of this shoe because it had holes. He said he did not like sandals for hikes because of the rocks - they get in his feet. Although he has somewhat of a point (which can be relieved with socks), once he put these sandals on, he was convinced these were not so bad and "Mama, you have good taste." Personally, I was trying to aim for the cheapest I could find but at the same time I know this child of mine can burn through a pair of shoes like nobody's business in a matter of weeks.
Put it this way - we ended up getting these over Merrell's and Teva's full-coverage type of water/hiking shoes. All price points being the same. I tried to get my son to try another pair of Keen's (Newport's but not H2 - harder plastic but looks about the same in style) and he did not like them - they were not comfortable. My son ended up wearing these sandals out of the store and walked in them for about 5 hours (shopping with no complaints) and into the swimming pool when we got home. They're drying right now so that they can be ready for our trip to Maui. Did I mention they are waterproof?
Bottom line - he loves them. He says they are very very comfortable and airy. I am pretty sure he will end up wearing them to school with socks too.

My daughter wears these Summer and Winter, with and without socks. They are comfortable and can be taken anywhere. We have purple and are going to buy another pair for Summer this year. They go with pants, shorts and dresses. We are very active so these have really come in handy.
