Love these
My daughter absolutely loves these shoes! They have quickly become her go-to pair for all kinds of outdoor adventures. What I really appreciate about them is the thoughtful design—especially the fully covered rubber toe. This feature has been such a game changer for us because my daughter is still small and tends to trip or kick things quite a bit, especially when we’re out on hikes or walking through more rugged terrain. The added protection around her toes gives me peace of mind, knowing that her feet are well-protected from rocks, roots, and any unexpected obstacles she might come across.The shoes are also incredibly lightweight, which is perfect for her active little feet. She’s able to run, jump, and explore without feeling weighed down, and I’ve noticed she’s much more comfortable and confident while wearing them. The vibrant colors are another plus—she loves how they look, and they’re easy to spot, which is always a bonus when we’re out on a trail or at the park.Not only are they practical, but they’re also durable. After many hikes, walks, and outdoor activities, they’ve held up really well, showing no signs of wear and tear. The breathable material keeps her feet cool and dry, which is important when she’s constantly on the move. Overall, I’m really happy with these shoes—they’re comfortable, functional, and stylish. I’d definitely recommend them for any parent looking for a reliable, protective pair of shoes for their active little one.

High Quality, great features, great fit!
I love Keen!! When I saw these, I knew they'd be quality so I got them for my 4 year old. She is obsessed with purple right now, so they were perfect! The toe box is nice and wide, which is great for toddler+ feet! They are a little difficult to get on (tight) but once the foot is in, there wasn't any issue with things being too tight. The shoes are just really sturdy, really stiff as most Keens are! I love the front toe bumper, my daughter is HARD on shoes, and I really think these are going to hold up long term. I tried two different sizes and they were true to her size, I kept the bigger ones for when she sizes up, that's how much I loved them!

“Soo comfortable”
My daughter continues to tell me how comfortable they are, evening wearing them with a dress because she likes them so much. Hope to see more colors in the future as these are holding up well and make for happy kids.

Quality shoes that last
I bought these because my daughter was tearing through tennis shoes by New balance and Skechers. These are built to last, just wish they were a little cuter like a regular tennis shoe. For some reason to me, maybe it's the sole, they just scream "hiking shoe"

Versatile kids shoe
Keen are great shoes for kids as the extra sole over the toe prevents early wear of the shoe. These held tight and gave good support for kid hiking. Have food color can wear it for outdoor or events.

Lasted one week before toebox front tore.
I searched parent forums for durable shoes for an active 4yo and I was excited when I read the reviews. The shoes were comfortable and looked durable. They cost over $40 and lasted one week. So I feel like I did not get my money's worth. The front of the toebox, even though it's "reinforced" tore horizontally. I saw a 3 star review with the same type of damage, but for that person the shoe lasted 5 months.

What happened to this brand?
First off, I have been a repeat customer for over 10 years. I love the wide toe box and support Keen shoes have. But something has changed with the quality of these shoes in recent years. My kids and I walk a lot and to be fair we are hard on shoes. However, the last couple pairs barely lasted 6 months. This most recent pair for my kid has major wear on the sole after just 2 months. For the price I'll be looking for another brand.

Repeat purchaser here
My review for this general model of keen footwear for little boys is 3 years late. I first introduced my son to this shoe in peach and then blue when he was about 3. He loved them and I have continued to purchase them for him.Got him this and a blue one and he seems happy with them....he is never excitable about shoes and clothes so seeming happy is equivalent to elated.I may get him a similar pair when he outgrows these.They are cute, durable, have the foot guard which is excellent for boys and girls who love running around a lot.Keep it up KEEN.
