KEEN Kids' 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!

Fits good and awesome color

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

Some may flinch at the idea of spending $40 on a pair of shoes for a kid who is barely walking (I know I did). I decided to take my son to a shoe store to try some shoes on, with the intention of just discovering his size and buying some cheapie shoes. The salesman suggested the Keen Newport H2. When I saw my son walk in those shoes, I knew we had to get them. He was a brand new walker at the time, but the H2s didn't get in the way - in fact, they seemed to help his gait. He has since worn the heck out of those shoes for five months in all kinds of weather.Here are my favorite qualities of the Newport H2:1. Quality - tough, yet comfortable. Sturdy but flexible soles, cushy insoles, comfy stretch fabric that lines the uppers. The fit is so perfect. I tried some cheaper imitators from Target and Old Navy, but they either didn't fit properly, or were so cheaply made that they looked like they would fall apart quickly. Newport H2s look better, and hold up better (even after washing).2. Washing - so easy! Wash on cold with detergent and air dry. Consider using an old toothbrush and mild soap to get any gunk out of the footbed, but that is the hardest it gets. Even a one year old will get their shoes filthy, so consider washability a must.3. Design - perfect for beginning walkers and growing feet. The rubber sole grips the floor and protects tender feet while still being flexible. Its toe cap prevents "road rash" and toe-stubbing. The Velcro ankle strap opening allows for a snug fit, while still allowing easy entry. (I tilt the shoe to the side to get the big toe in first, then twist to make sure the little toes don't get caught.) The heel strap helps get a perfect fit and avoids folding under.I will continue to buy these shoes as my son gets older (and for successive children). One warning in use, though: when you go out in the sun and put on sunblock, remember to put it on your child's feet before you put their shoes on. Otherwise, they get a really funny tan line. ;)

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