| Best summer shoe for kids! I've been wearing keens for 5 years and will only buy keen sandals for my kids. Great support, cute colors & washable! Venice H2 is better for girls-- more feminine and less clunky that the Newport H2 (which is much better looking on a boy!). Don't let the color name fool you...it is not "mauve"--more like a bright medium pink w/ fuchsia neoprene underneath. Perfect for a girly girls wardrobe (the pink or "crocus" version of the Newport H2 is quite ugly compared to this b/c of the gray neoprene). Also, the perfect shoe for summer camp as many camps aren't allowing crocs or other open toe sandals for safety reasons. It may not be delicate enough for a fancy dress, but it sure is more comfy than those frou-frou sandals (and I have put her in a Lilly Pulitzer dress w/ these b/c the color goes well). Get them, you won't be sorry. |

| A friend recommended Keens to me for my 2 year old daughter. I was a little iffy about spending so much for summer sandals, but they are worth it! Fit great - bare feet or with socks. Look great with many outfits. And so safe - great soles and covers her toes. Plus, she can wear them in the water, too, which will be good for our upcoming vacation. And she was sick a month ago and ended up puking on them and they washed up great - no smell and no stains. I will definitely be buying a pair for her next year, too. Only thing to note is that we had a get 1 size smaller than her regular shoe size - these ran a little big. |

| Double check for correct sizing-perfect after that! Second summer with Keens for my girls and we really love them. Great everyday shoe that offers protection and support without getting to warm on the foot or dowdy looking. The Venice is more feminine than the Newport. Great colors, we went with matching 'angel falls' and the baby blue and soft yellow are a great alternative to pink for girls. Highly recommended. Do double check sizing, especially if the child has a narrow foot. |

| These are the best summer shoes I could have for my 22 month old daughter. They are wonderful because she can wear them at the lake and go in and out of the water with them. They dry quickly and are very comfy for her. She has worn them every day since they arrived and has walked miles in them and hasn't had a blister or any evidence of irritation. Wonderful shoes. Will be her staple summer shoes from now on! |

| LOVE the Keen Venice H2 sandals! They were soft and comfortable right out of the box and didn't even require a break-in period. My daughter is 19 months old and she can run in them and wear them all day without wanting to take them off. Her feet do get very smelly from them, even when they were still brand new. Worth the extra foot washings! Her feet are protected on the playground and comfortable at the same time. |

| First of all, Zappos is the only place I order my kids shoes. Their customer service is unmatched. This is the first pair of Keen sandals I have ordered. I LOVE them. They are wide enough for my baby’s chunky feet and have a "shoe-like" feel for her as she’s still learning to walk/run. Waterproof and washable. Perfect. I could not be happier with my purchase. |

| The shoes run a little big but are great. My two year old can get them on and off by herself. The Keen's style of having a closed toe make it a safe shoe for summer bike riding and playing. |

| My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves these shoes. She can put them on by herself and refuses to wear any other pair! They dry out very quickly after getting wet and are soft on her feet. |
