| Fabulous, except for the smell - My 9-year old son with slightly wide feet wears only sandals and it is hard to find sandals which can be used to run, kick and play in--that fit well and looks nice and are leather. Keen has the perfect sandal--comfortable, stylish, great colors, and fit. My son walks three miles every day to and from school, and then plays every sport in them. They still look great. However, there is one downside--these shoes smell and when I say smell, I think it is important to realize that this is really a BAD don’t take off your shoes or we will all die smell. I think it is the neoprene lining and the antimicrobial thing helps a little, but these shoes need to be aired out after wearing--I have tried bleach, washing weekly in the machine, foot powders, etc--not much benefit, but buying two pairs and alternating seems to be working (so far). I had to throw away his last pair because no amount of bleach or airing would work. I have these for me (mom) as well and love them, too. But for everyday wear, recommend buying two pairs. We have worn Keen sandals for more than 6 years and keep buying them. They still look great after 5 years of wear. |

| Great for travel by land or sea - I'm a woman with small wide feet (usually 5 - 5.5 W), so the size 4 fit me perfectly. I got them for a trip I was planning to Virginia Beach and Bermuda. I had planned on wearing them only as a water shoe, but when I got them they were surprisingly comfortable with great support and a soft feel. I ended up wearing them with a pair of "no-show" low socks for most of the trip. If you don't tighten the bungee, they still stayed on well for ordinary walking and were easy to slip off going through airport security. On the beach (without socks, of course!), I found they didn't work well in the sand, as they trapped a lot of sand inside the shoe, but they were great for climbing around the rockier parts of the shore. Also, they hose off perfectly and dry quickly, ready to wear on land or sea. The blue color is rather brighter than I would have preferred, but it grew on me quickly. These are now one of my all time favorite casual shoes. |

| Second pair and love them - This is the second pair of Keens for my daughter who is 11 years old. She outgrew the first pair, but wore them for 2 years. They are still in such good condition, we'll hand them down to a younger friend to wear. They are great for school and playing and water activities and she says, even hiking. The protective toe is a great feature. Her dad and brothers all have Keens, too. I've tried them on, but the arch support is not enough for me... still waiting for them to work that out where I can buy a pair, too. Well worth the money. We'd probably have more pairs if the colors were better! Her pair is blue and we like it really well. For vacation, this is the only shoe you will need, you can whitewater raft, beach, hike, and play in this shoe. We love them! |

| I ordered these kids' Keens after I saw them on my friend's daughter's feet and just fell in love with them! I was looking for something that I could wear on an upcoming trip to Disney that would be both cute and "tough" enough to brave all the walking we would be doing. Well, I have been quite pleased with these shoes. First of all, they arrived the day after I ordered them, which was great. I wore them every day in Disney and although I had some minor foot irritations (I think that would have happened with any shoe!) all around, they were super comfortable. They are also waterproof, so I could wear them on the water rides as well. I cannot rave enough about these shoes, and I am so happy to have small feet so I could pay a lot less for them! |

| Keen Kids Newport - My 11 year-old daughter asked for Keens as a birthday present. My first surprise was receiving them at our door within 1 day after placing the order! Since she got them, she has worn them to summer camp almost daily. They have lots of field trips, and activities that include water play during the hotter days. These shoes are great because they are water-resistant and non-slip, as well as providing great support and comfort. She recently walked in the 4th of July parade, and wore her beautiful blue Keens proudly through the entire parade route - not complaining once about sore feet! I have plans to buy my first pair very soon, and I know we will be getting her a new pair every year from now on. Thanks! |

| Love my Keen Kids Newport! I've wanted this shoe for over a year; never could find that color in the stores. By chance, I ended up on your website and read one of the reviews from an adult woman saying the kid’s size 5 fit her (adult size 7). With your free overnight shipping, it was worth a try. I love them! A few days after receiving them, I went on a four mile hike through different terrain, climbing tons of stairs & they never bothered me. I wish I had had them all summer! |

| Great service and quality product - This Keen is the ultimate spring/summer/fall transition shoe. I bought two pairs for each child and they are so easy to pop on and go. All my kids did was pick the color and I placed the order. They were here the next day and everyone was happy! Keens are comfortable, durable, and practical. The only thing to be aware of is that the toe box is a bit wide, but there were no complaints here. I think it makes them a bit more comfortable. Thanks Zappos! |

| Keens Rock! I bought a pair of these for both my daughter and myself just before a trip to the coast. I had to return mine (my little toe wanted to pop out thru the straps, so I got a pair of the "Keens Venice" instead and they are perfect for me!) My daughter's gave her a little blister on the heels, but still she loved them and wore them, they are perfect for beachcombing and climbing around rocks and tide pools. Zappos, you're service is 2nd to none!! |

| My daughter loves this shoe. Very cute and versatile, since it is cool and comfortable like a sandal/water shoe, but with the closed toes is also like a sneaker. We\'ve only had for a few weeks, so we\'ll see how durability holds up this summer, but so far so good. Found this shoe online, but color choices were limited, our local store ws out of the size I needed. Zappos was extremely prompt with shipping! |

| Brilliant! Great shoes for surf and turf. My daughter wears these at camp, moving easily from land to lake. They can be a bit tough at first to get on, but become easier with experience. Buy your true size or even one up (even if they are a bit big, you will grow into them, and they seem to run small). They are indestructible, too. |
