Perfect summer shoe! I really like the Newport a lot, we've had these the past two summers and they are great. I love the versatility (we wear them with everything). They are easy on and off, and even after a whole summer of every day wear, they look just as good as new (easily passed on to the next sibling if needed). I don't care if they stomp in puddles because they are so easily washed and they don't get slippery when wet (unlike Crocs which can cause a major head injury when a kid goes running on wet cement!). They definitely can get stinky, but I don't mind because they wash up so well. Perfect summer shoe for your little one, I think we will be wearing these for years to come!

LOVE these sandals!!! My daughter originally wanted "fancy" sandals, but I wanted something that would protect her toe, so I ordered these. I didn't think she would like them, but she loves them too! In fact, these are the shoes she prefers to wear. They fit well, and wear great! I love the fact that they are washable. I just rinse them off or throw them in the washing machine and come out looking great. Perfect sandals for toddlers and busy kids. They also seem really comfortable, when I need sandals I will try a pair for myself.

Very nice shoe! I bought these shoes for my 2 year old granddaughter and they are adorable! I like that they offer the same support as the keen sneakers but are cooler for the summer. They are so well made! I must say though that they run smaller than the sneakers. I ordered a size 6 and they were a little tight. The instep is tight. The size 6 Coronado sneakers though are larger and she has room to grow. I would order a whole size larger next time.

Awesome SHOES!! My husband was a little hesitant about spending this much on a pair for shoes for our 2 year old, but once we got them, he was convinced they were worth it! She can wear these shoes all summer, it doesn't matter if they get wet, and they are very durable. The rubber toes are what make them so great, every other pair; the toes get scuffed so badly or rip. I have always worn Keens and love them, now my daughter does too!

Amazing all-weather, all-activity shoes! My first Keen purchase and for my 2 yr old! For me it's a bit crazy to spend this kind of money for a 2 yr old whose foot is growing fast...BUT...I was looking for a durable, all-weather, all-activity shoe and these are amazing. What's really great is the new "Velcro" feature so you aren't trying to force your child's foot into the shoe! And believe me I've struggled with many similar styles with my 4 and 7 yr old!

Love, love, love these shoes! They are really cute and my girls love them. They are easy for my 21 month to put on and take off herself (which is good and bad:). They are a great shoe for running around and going to the park and playground. Very rugged. I would suggest ordering a size up so they last longer and your child's toes aren't smooshed or don't rub. Overall, we are a huge fan and will keep ordering them every summer!

Got the shoes the next day, love Zappos for that, and put them on. I knew they fit, because we had tried them on locally, they just didn't have the pink. They were her first non-soft soles, and she seemed to adapt quickly and was comfortable in them. Love them! They are adorable, easy to wash, and seem comfortable. Only thing is they make her feet stinky, and other have said the same. But, overall a perfect summer shoe!

Cutest sandals/sneakers for the summer! We bought 3 this summer for our 5, 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old. They all love wearing these shoes. Very comfy and easy to get on and off. Perfect for running around the park on hot days and splashing in puddles in the rain. I took the advice of the other reviewers and ordered up a size. This worked perfect for all 3 pairs. Zappos has the best customer service!!!

I love these shoes. They are wonderful for toddlers because the closed toe provides protection for tripping. I do find that my daughter's feet sweat a bit in them; they're not as airy as other sandals. I bought these to fit over my daughter’s ankle-foot orthotics, and they're not bad. It's hard to find shoes that fit braces, but I think Keen's are definitely worth a try for those in the same boat.

GREAT PRODUCT!!! This is my 2 year old daughter's second pair. She had one last summer and just bought her a new pair for the upcoming summer. She wore them everyday last summer. They are great support for kids who are just starting to walk and ones who are running. Great for all terrains and activities. They dry quick. Great product all around.

This shoe has a great look and is super versatile. I bought a pair for myself so I could match my boys, and they are super comfortable. However, this Keen is not good for toddler feet. My kids don't have cankles, but they are not perfectly skinny either. Their feet are not wide, just standard widths. Unless your kid is a totally thin ectomorph with longer, bonier bones, don't bother. It's annoying to have to stuff your 2 yr old's foot in a tight little shoe all the time. I bought these initially because my 2 and 4 yr old boys are super active and I wanted a closed toe shoe that they could run in the street in as well as get wet in. The Keen concept was perfect. But getting a foot in and out of the shoe, especially if the shoe is wet, is kind of hard. I totally wanted a shoe that my kids could put on and off by themselves, but they always needed help when their feet were wet, which is the main reason I bought the shoe! And my boys have a lot of initiative and can do all their other shoes by themselves, so they are not whiners. Also, I bought the next size up like they said to do as well. DEFINITELY BUY THE NEXT SIZE UP! But all I did was create extra work for myself by putting them in these shoes to go to the pool, swim lessons, etc. in. The velcro strap is annoying if your kid has a higher instep. Make sure your child knows how to press the button on the plastic ball that tightens the elastic cord so that they don't strip the nylon down to the elastic (like mine did). The shoe fits so snugly, though, that you won't really need the drawstring. Honestly, I am not sure why they don't just make it into a moc with a more snug neoprene ankle part and lose the strap as well. It seems those are just there for style. Overall, I really wish I hadn't gotten the shoe...
