Review on KEEN Newport Water Black Toddler Boys' Shoes for Outdoor by Payton Luna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Continuous. The best summer shoes. Ye!

This is awesome. The fit is easily adjusted to a variety of feet. My son has medium wide feet and I have wide feet and we are both comfortable. Socks are optional when the weather turns chilly (because none of us love any other shoe like this one). They are great when wet because they dry well. We wash regularly in the washing machine. They rarely smell (even everyday, and we only wear these shoes in spring and summer), but they get dirty. We prefer light colors so the washing machine gives them a "new" look. They always grow out before the tread wears out. They are great for crossing rocky rivers, hiking trails and playgrounds. They are also good for school. I'm not sure if the soles are marketed as non-marking, but none of my sons have ever had a problem wearing them to gym class and wore them for several years between the two. They're also bike and scooter safe with rubber toe caps. My sons used them to stop their bikes and scooters while studying and they never managed to do more than scratch them. They are also easy to put on and take off. These are the first shoes that one of my sons has been able to put on and take off on his own in a reasonable amount of time. This is important because my youngest son always takes his shoes off when he gets in the car. These are his favorite shoes, but it's always better for him to go barefoot. At the time of writing this review my eldest son has 2 pairs of this model, my youngest son now has 5 pairs and this is my first pair in this model. but this is my second year wearing them. (I fit both child and adult sizes. I don't notice any difference in quality.) We're an outdoor family so they see a lot of value.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
