Keen shoes for kids are specially made to provide the highest level of comfort to suit children’s active lifestyles. They are carefully constructed to keep growing feet healthy and strong. In this article, we will feature the range of these excellent outdoor shoes.
The Kids Newport is a sandal built to withstand the rigors produced by the most active child. Running around all day will ask a lot of any shoe, but the Newport has plenty of strength and as much stamina as the wearer. Laminated leather uppers will stand up to anything an energetic kid can dish out, while elastic cord laces make the shoes easy to put on and take off.
This shoe features the trademarked Metatomical Low Durometer EVA Footbed and strong toe protection. The support lugs are multi-directional and the rubber outsole is non-marking. The leather uppers are washable and the pull straps provide a secure fit.
The Kids Bronx model features the same toe protection as the Newport and is also easy to put on and take off. The Bronx is a closed shoe that has suede uppers that are stain and water resistant, therefore jumping in puddles will cause no damage. Elasticized lock laces enable even very young children to take them off or put them on.
Next is the Santa Cruz. This is a hybrid of Keen’s previous clogs for kids. The new version is a stylish clog for everyday use. It provides a comfortable secure fit, while offering the convenience of a slip-on shoe. Further foot protection is provided by a heel cup which prevents the shoe slipping off while walking or running.
The Santa Cruz features a rubber compound outsole that is non-marking. This provides superior friction on any surface. The mid-sole is contoured for extra support and comfort. A newly invented toe guard not only gives protection but it also prevents constriction of the toes. The leather uppers are supple, soft, and resistant to stains and water.
All the latest children’s sandals made by Keen feature trademarked Microbe Shield technology. This provides protection against stains and odor caused by fungus, bacteria and other micro-organisms. It is an anti-bacterial barrier and its efficacy will not be reduced even if the shoes are put in a washing machine.
In fact, all Keen shoes for kids can be cleaned in a washing machine. Only a small amount of detergent should be used and the machine should be set on a gentle cycle. After air-drying for a few hours, the shoes will look as good as new.
