KEENKids' Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandal

I love these shoes. They fit my toddler with a inch or so to grow. I sized up and it lasted my toddler all summer. It's winter now and I don't believe my toddler will be able to wear them next summer as they're fitting pretty perfectly now. We shall see. These shoes do get stinky and stained. I washed them in the washing machine and by hand and there are still stains and smells. Granted we didn't really have a smell problem until I put bug spray on them. I think that was a bad idea. We have a really terrible mosquito problem where we live. Just walking outside we get 10 bites at least. So I'm not sure how to have shoes with openings and not have mosquitos spray. Anyways I really thing the spray was the downfall. I used the essential oil spray. The color is about the same but it's dingy from dirt. I can't get it all off. I'm not sure why. It did hold up well with hand and machine washing. It's a very sturdy shoe that we used on hikes. I recommend these shoes but don't spray with bug spray. It's not a good combo with sweaty feet and you can never get rid of the smell. 🤢 i feel bad for my little one cause I'm pretty sure they smelled that stank everytime they wore the shoes. It is strong everytime we get them out to put on but farther away you can't smell.

We brought this shoe because we needed a comfortable sturdy sandal for our twins, for our family trip to Disney. I don't skimp on toddler shoes, as it is important to ensure that children are in comfortable shoes that don't negatively impact the growth and development of their feet. For our trip I wanted something that would be comfortable after walking for a considerable amount of time, and I wanted a shoe that would protect little toes, and could also be wet, and washed if needed. Well, this shoe fit the bill as well as my toddlers feet. We went with a size 7 (they were about a 6 at the time) because we wanted the shoe to last for a while. This shoe has been worn time and time again, and has endured a Disney trip, multiple park trips, sports, trips to zoo's, and has frequented many puddles, and after washing, it looks brand new! I plan on purchasing the exact same shoe for next summer.Pro's. Washable, doesn't shrink when washed, comfortable for long trips where toddlers will be on their feet.Con's. Fit was a little large, even now that my kids have grown into them. My son has more narrow/typical feet, and we have to pull the strap all the way across to ensure a comfortable fit around his ankle. However, again the pro is that it is comfortable regardless. Does get smelly if worn without socks, and will need washing periodically.Overall a great shoe, and a great buy. Honestly, if I showed you my kids shoes after a wash, you'd think they were brand new!

Keen still makes the best kids water shoes. Sturdy, beautify colors, long lasting. Too bad kids feet grow so fast... my kids loves them and wants to wear them all summer!

The best spring/summer shoes for toddler! 21m, doesn’t scratch his feet, wear with or without socks! Perfect for beach’

The media could not be loaded. I bought these for both of my kids and couldn’t be happier. The colors are vibrant and fun—exactly what my kids love. The fit is just right, true to size, and they stay securely on their feet even when running, jumping, or climbing. No more chasing after lost shoes! They’re also super easy to clean and dry quickly after water play. For the quality, comfort, and design, the price is more than reasonable. Totally worth it for active little ones

Very sturdy and beach ready.

I've had the same pair of Keen H2's for probably10 years. I have abused them and they are still extremely sturdy. The quality of construction and materials is impressive. While they are sandals, I considered them to be 3-season shoes when worn with socks. If the weather is dry I love wearing them with Merino wool socks in cold weather because they allow my feet to breath. They have comfortable insoles, good arch support and the wide, protected toe-box is highly effective at protecting both the shoe and the wearer.I am an adult male with small, wide, flat feet. I bought these because I am able to wear boys size 6 which is considerably less expensive than men's' sizes. I would say the quality of the boys shoe is comparable to men's but the length of the Velcro strap that secures the top of the tongue is nearly too short for my wider foot. This shouldn't be an issue for children with narrower feet. I can still wear them but now socks are out of the question.I have to say this style of Keens is one of the best value shoes I have ever purchased.

Bought these for my daughter before a trip to Hawaii and used them the entire time (whenever shoes were needed). I love that the straps have a large amount of adjustability to get a good fit around the ankle. I noticed one area of her foot with a small amount of irritation but may have been due to sand inside. They were well worth the money, even for the two weeks we used them. I would definitely consider buying them again in the future in a larger size.
