KEEN Toddler Newport H2 Shoe

I buy these every spring for our three children. They are their go-to shoes. Frankly, if you bought one pair of shoes for your child for the summer, these would be it. They are comfortable, waterproof, and do not show wear. The kids can hike, head to the playground, ride bikes, or splash in a creek in these, no problem. The toe bumper is a key feature. They only come in whole sizes, but because of the design and the velcro strip, they do not chafe or fall off the heel even if there is room in the toe. If my child is wearing a half size, I buy the next size up, and that way the size lasts through the summer (and usually into the fall). Even our youngest can put them on herself. Our kids will often pair these with their church clothes as well.

I purchased these to replace a pair that my 1.5 year old grew out of. These are easy to slip on, easy to throw in the wash, and really great at protecting my son's feet. A great summer shoe that allows breathability while also providing protection.
