Great looking shoes. Had a side strap tear and break after about a dozen wearings. Rest of the shoe looks brand new. Zappos replaced, of course.

I love Keens and everything about this shoe except this shoe laces. Ours broke in week 2, which happens with every pair we ever buy from Keen with this type of “easy” adjust shoe lace. I would give it a 5 if they didn’t break.

Another reviewer commented on the failure of the easy-lace design and I agree. I’ve been buying Keens for my 8 year old son for several years. They are durable and comfortable, but the bungie lacing system is always the first to fail, and once it does, there’s no good permanent way to repair it.
I liked these shoes in particular because the all black ones are dress-code friendly but are durable and sporty enough to withstand PE and recess activities. The one design flaw is they have a thin ribbon that is threaded around the ankle opening, and loops back on itself at either end of the top of the tongue. The bungie threads through this loop before feeding into the plastic clip tensioner. This ribbon is much weaker than the bungie cord and it will eventually wear out and snap. Fortunately, my son’s didn’t fail until after about five months, which is better than two weeks, but otherwise there is a whole lot of life left in this shoe. Anyways, once that ribbon snaps, you’re on your own to find another way to keep enough tension in the laces to hold the shoe on. Good luck with that.
Overall, a great shoe, and I love Keens in general. Just hope you get enough use out of them before the lacing system fails. Rated this 4 stars on the review page despite that it’s showing 5.

Got these for my 7-year old. I looked at various shoes, trying to go with minimum support, nice wide toe box for healthier, and most-like-barefoot shoe I could find. These were recommended, and they’ve turned out great. They’re comfortable, and flexible, and easy to put on and off because of the no-tie shoe laces. Also really cute two-toned design (we got the blue-green color). Bonus: when one of the plastic pieces broke on the no-tie laces, I called Keen customer service, and they sent a replacement part no charge. Yay for that! Other than the broken piece, the shoes have held up quite well.

My twelve year old loves these. He takes a five in big kids, and that’s what we got. These run true to size, but my son’s foot tends toward wide a little bit, and these fit him perfectly. They look very nice on, and he loved the blue/green combo. He said they were really comfortable. We always buy him keens because he’s so hard on his shoes and they wear really well.

These shoes are a bit stiff right out of the box and not easy to slip on. My son said that they rubbed on his ankles, so we are returning them.

My 11-year-old son has extra wide feet. They joke on the swim team that he doesn’t need flippers because that’s how wide his feet are!
He’s been wearing Keen’s since he was 6 or 7 because of the width. We recently bought a new style of Keen’s (either Zappos doesn’t carry the ones he had for years, or Keen stopped making them) and the new style was too narrow. This style (Chandler) fit like the old style and was wide enough. Make sure you look at the shoe in the pictures from the top angle looking down so you can see, because it seems not all Keens are extra wide.

These shoes were primarily purchased for family hiking trips. They eventually turned into an everyday school shoe. My son likes the style and never has complaints about the fit. With all that that an eight-year old boy can do to a shoe, these show little signs of wear and tear. Keens are always a good investment. I will likely buy the same style when he moves up a size.

Fit well. Pretty much indestructible. My son drags his toe when stopping his scooter. These held up. In fact just orders another pair Monday because he grew out of them.

My son loves them! My son is autistic and is very picky about shoes. He has a hard time tying them and drags his toes (looking for input) so getting shoes that work and last is really a challenge! But Keens Rock! They last at least 6 months even longer sometimes and he doesn’t complain about them! We just transitioned from the Velcro to the slip on ones without an issue (and that is HUGE) for us! I highly recommend them for boys who are rough one shoes and want comfort and a well made brand!

I have purchased these shoes about each year for my son since he was a toddler. He is now 10 and still loving this style. They hold up through anything and are super comfortable.

Very soft n comfortable

I wish these came in Wide sizes because my 6 y/o son really loved the design. The length felt right for his size, but he had a hard time getting this shoe on. He doesn’t always wear W, so I thought we’d give these a try. I also bought Merrell Trail Quest in 1W, and those fit him perfectly, so we are keeping those.

Easy on and off and have held up well!

We love these shoes. I’ve been buying them now for easily 3-4 years. They last so long that I usually only buy one pair every time my sons feet grow (so like 1 size per year almost). He loves them. They are wide and comfy with great foot protection. He’s a rough and playful kid and wears the same pair every single day. In the 3-4 pairs of Keens I’ve owned, the lace strap broke on me for the first time recently. But these shoes are months and months old. HOWEVER, they are fixable. I reinserted the strap that holds the laces down back into the little slit it comes out of and looped it up to sew it back near the laces. It was easy and seems pretty sturdy. I can see the same spot is breaking on the other shoe now too. But would I recommend and buy them again??—absolutely! Great kids shoe. Especially for older kids 4+

These are PERFECT for my highly active and athletic kiddo who destroys ALL the shoes. Only time will tell, but I did my research and these Keens were highly recommended because of the strength of the soles, fabric, and higher toe guard.

My kids love them. Nice wide footing, instead of the normal sports shoes narrow footing. My kids feet have room to grow in these shoes, which is very important.

Great Keen shoes. My son is now ready for hiking season.
Eva –
Amazing, true to size ( I bought a size up to last longer). My boys doesn’t want to take them off. They said very comfortable.

Love the rubber toe. Made well.

My 11 year old son really likes these shoes. He says they are really good for climbing trees and rocks because the toe of the shoe is rubber. The shoes are holding up quite nicely considering how hard he is on his shoes.

Last spring I purchased the same shoe in size 3 (it was a half size big). I just got them again in a size 4. They are great to wear when hiking and at rocky beaches. I rinsed out shoes full of rocks and sand in the morning and left them on my steps on a breezy, partly cloudy day, they were completely dry in the afternoon.

Great shoe that is easy for my 5 & 7 year olds to put on. I like the bungee laces and the kids say they are very comfortable. Keen is definitely our go to brand for my boys as they hold up to all the hikes and outdoor activities.

My 9 year old son loved these. He used them straight out of the box for 3 days of hiking. They were lightweight, dried quickly and had great traction on sandy and wet rocks and paths.
