      Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:

      My three year old (who hates wearing anything on her feet) LOVES these shoes! My daughter has a lot of sensory issues (meaning a lot of things bug her, like rough clothing). She usually ends up not wearing any shoes at all- so I was really worried that she would not like these. Not so- she absolutely loves these shoes. I catch her "admiring" herself in the car with her shoes on. And when she wants to go outside, I see her looking for her Keens! She also has something called "low muscle tone" which makes her very accident prone. Her Newports give her the stability and support without making her trip (I was worried the toe protector would cause her to trip, but it does not). It's great to finally have found a well constructed kids' shoe. It is well worth every penny. Like one reviewer said- it's well worth the extra ten bucks (some kids' rubber shoes are close to $30!) I highly recommend you get a pair for your little one (especially if they go on sale).

      My daughter had learned to walk just a few months before getting her first pair of Keens. I have to say, they really helped with stability and mobility, and the kept her safe from stubbed toes. Plus, they're so dang cute! She wore them with EVERYTHING! Just a little too much money for the length of wear they get from a toddler.

        Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Kids' Size 8-13:

        My 2-year-old son loves these shoes and wears them everywhere. I'm a believer in versitile, utilitarian products and these sandals fit the bill. He has worn them all summer even on our trip to Alaska where it was as low as 47 degrees. We just layered him with socks underneath. The closed toe is great and has saved his toes from many stubbings and scrapes this summer. As others mentioned, he did suffer from smelly feet despite the claims of an antimicrobial footbed. Although I ran them through the washing machine, they got stinky again pretty quickly. Our remedy was to wipe the footbed with a cotton ball and a bit of tea tree oil every couple of days and that solved the problem! Needless to say, we already have a new pair in the closet for next year (clearanced out color)!

        My 3 year old son loves his Keens and wants to wear them everywhere we go. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is that his feet stink after wearing them. His feet haven't had an odor in any other shoes, but these are exceptional. I would probably buy something else if I wasn't such a Keen fan.

              Just ordered our 8th & 9th pair of keens for my 2 boys. In fact, our whole family has a pair of these keens. These are the only shoes the boys do not destroy. They are well worth the extra $10 over other brands. It's the only shoe that can actually be handed down to my younger son. They are a little irritating in sand but overall excellent. Great for everyday running around or hiking on trails.

                Bought these for our granddaughter for a camping trip. The sandals she wore from home had already given her a blister. Kids' footwear in general are shoddy in construction and fit, and the makers have little or no concept of comfort for a kid. Keen puts every bit of engineering and thought into their kids' sandals as they do their adults, which is more than can be said for other shoe makers. Our 6 y.o. granddaughter loved these, and said she wanted to "sleep in them" when asked if she thought they were comfy. Not one blister, and they protected her little toes from scrapes. The best part aside from comfort and function....they are machine washable. Given the chance, she would put them on wet and gather all the campsite dust. No worry, just rinse them off and air dry.

                    These are great shoes/sandals for young and old alike. My 6yr old daughter LOVES her Keens and wears them every chance she gets . These are great water shoes as well since they can get totally wet. They dry very quickly too. Everyone in our family LOVES their Keen Newports! These are VERY comfortable shoes.
