KEEN Unisex-Child Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandals

These sandals protect your feet pretty well, around the house and on trails. They are not as good in that respect of course as solid hiking shoes, but they are an alternative, especially for summer. I will say no more on that, other than after wearing them now for 3 or 4 months I have really grown fond of them, and I am particular about my shoes. Open toe sandals are comfortable, but banging your toes is not, nor is hurting yourself because you wore an unstable shoe.Regarding sizing, my foot is a 12, a pretty standard foot I would say. My foot measures 11 1/4 inches, exactly at the standard size 12 length. I have several pair of these sandals now, both in size 12 and 13. Both sizes work fine for me. I actually think I prefer the 12's, they are a bit more solid on my foot. I expect to wear the 13's more often when it is cold with socks, to give me a little more space. But I can wear the 12's with socks just fine.I have not trouble putting the 12's on or taking them off, just push your foot all the way in and the heel strap will slide on easily. They stretch out after you have worn them awhile, I can't tell much difference between wearing a 13 and a 12. In fact to test myself I put on a pair not knowing the size (I have the same color in both sizes). I guessed that I was wearing the 13 and I was incorrect, I was wearing the 12. I have also walked around with a 12 on one foot and a 13 on the other. I found no major difference between the two feet.I also have the leather version in size 12, they seem just a little bigger than the polyester but not enough to matter much.In summary, at least for me, the issue people have about sizing is very overblown. I would get a 12 1/2 if it existed, but I have often felt that way with other shoes. For me it is either a 12 or 13, and generally I prefer the 12. I have enough toe room in the size 12 of these sandals, they fit fine, around the house, walking trails with my dogs, and of course in the water. They really do dry out fast, If they get wet I just let them dry and put on a different pair.5/5/23....I still feel the same after wearing these pretty much constantly for a few months. You may think that there is not enough toe room because you may feel some sensation at the toe at times. My bigger sized 13's have that same sensation, that is just due to the rubber caps at the toe. I feel no pressure on my toes walking down steep hills, that is the acid test for toe room. I definitely prefer the 12's to the 13's. They stretch out and the 13's can feel just a bit loose. But the 13's are fine, I can wear either with no complaints.6/26/23...Still feel the same, I have a pretty standard size 12 foot, size 12 in this shoe works well for me. I have size 13 as well but will use those with socks when it is cold, I like the better stability of the size 12. I really love these shoes. I put on an open toe sandal yesterday for the first time in awhile, yeah more comfortable, but banged my exposed foot twice, and that hurts. I am sold on the closed toe. You have to take the shoe off when you get little pebbles or something inside the shoe, but they slide off and on easily. Great in the water, I have never had pain from banding my foot walking the trails with my dogs since I started wearing them, and they really have good support. Dry quickly after being in the lake.

Very well made. Probably the best sandal on the market for the price. The fit is true to size. Very sturdy and heavy duty construction. My second pair. I've tried the other brands. No comparison.

These are excellent shoes. Supportive and cushioned, they also hide unsightly feet, which came in handy since I needed a pedicure on our trip to Zion National Park. We hiked all around the area, exploring as many canyons and recreation areas as possible over four states. All sorts of terrain, and the shoe handled it like a champ! The natural desolate areas out there are unbeatable, albeit dry (no humidity!). Shoes kept my feet safe from rocks and pebbles that might intrude under my feet, and they hid them from sight, just like a regular sneaker, without socks, allowing my feet to breathe and stay cooler. 5 stars!

These are outstanding sandals. They fit a bit tight but the straps loosen a bit as you wear them. Nice and snug, these sandals make walking over rough terrain a more secure experience. Also, they arrived in a hurry, and in great condition.

Great shoes! My 11 year old son practically lives in them! I love that they are adjustable for the best fit. We bought one size up for extra comfort and longevity of wear. I would recommend!

These have been what I was looking for. Very comfortable to wear and walk around in. They are great for water activities including swimming or boating and equally suited for hiking. They provide protection for your toes and comfort while on a rocky trail or a steep climb. They fit snugly which is more comfortable than I thought it would be since your foot doesn't slide in the shoe. Had to try a couple sizes before realizing that. A definite recommend from me.

Love this sandal/shoe. Great fit, comfortable and rugged

Great shoes...I've worn them everywhere for many years. I wear these 95% of the time, including on international trips. After about 12-18 months the side panels get a little rough and tend to separate from the shoe. Where I live it's only a $3 repair job. There was a special deal on the black color so I bought 2 pairs. I have another new pair in a different color that I will wear between the two black pairs. I should be good for the next 6 years. If you like this type of shoe, don't but the cheaper knock offs, buy these Keen when there's a good price offer...well worth the price difference.
