These are great shoes for children. I got my 5 year old son a pair and they worked so well we got my oldest son a pair as well.
Great shore that wear well. The dark colors are nice as stains are not as visible.

I keep buying these shoes for both of my very active boys and they last until the next size up, w/ daily use. Only bummer is the back of the inside heal has worn out.

Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Shoes - Boys':

My son tried a pair of these out this past year. Overall good shoes although they wore out faster than other brands that we have bought. The stitching that holds the lacing/webbing system together seems to be the major weak point. They did go on several backpacking trips and lots of day hikes, were worn to school on wet days, and even did some rock climbing so, can't say they weren't good shoes.

Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Shoes - Boys':

We bought this shoe for our 3 year old who likes to hike trails with us (for limited time periods). These were way more expensive than we anticipated paying for a 3 year old's shoe but struggled to find a rugged shoe with a good sole that would last an entire summer.

The shoe is very difficult to put on because it is so stiff. My son can put on his shoes but couldn't come close with these. I felt like I was going to hurt him getting his foot into the heel cup it was so stiff. The U-shaped top of the heel cup dug into his leg on either side of achilles leaving bruises after only one use.

Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Shoes - Boys':

I bought these shoes on discount sale and am convinced they are the best shoes ever for my kids! Perfect for slip-on-and-run and for the NW rain & puddles they inevitably stomp in. I'm buying the next size up at full price...they are that good! Very comfy & durable sole and uppers.

Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Shoes - Boys':

My son wears these shoes every day for school and play. He has had his current pair of Keens for 7 months and I have already purchased the next size up for when he out grows them. I don't see any signs that the shoes are wearing out, so I expect to have use of them until they get too small. My son has slightly wide feet and these shoes have been comfortable from day 1.

Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Shoes - Boys':

My 7 year old son hates tying his shoes so I got him the Keens with the pull tie. He loved them and they were working great--good traction, comfortable, looked good and appeared durable. Granted my son is tough on shoes but two months in the laces look like they are about to tear and the top cloth loop on one shoe has completely peeled off. This makes it impossible to lace tightly. All of the top lace loops look ready to go. Besides the laces and top loops the shoes look like new. Too bad b/c this one fault makes an otherwise sturdy shoe unwearable.
