Summer is upon us and finding children's shoes that are both attractive and sturdy can be a challenge. KEEN footwear may be the answer you're looking for.
We received the Phoebe sandal in purple floral in a size Big Kids 6 and gave them a try.
Upon opening the box my daughter exclaimed they were the prettiest shoes she's ever seen. And after a few days wearing the KEEN sandals, she doesn't want to take them off.
The biggest plus to these shoes is comfort. On her first expedition wearing them my daughter went shopping with her grandmother, which tends to be a grand adventure. (Grandma wants her own pair now too.)
"I feel like I could walk around or play in them 24/7 - if I had to," she said.
KEEN sandals offer a Metatomical footbed design which is an internal support mechanism which provides arch support and cradle the natural contours of the foot.
Not wanting to leave the sandals home, she wore them again the next day to her dance class, where she has to take them off, but noted how easy the straps were to close. Kid-friendly straps that would be good even for younger children are always a plus for parents.
The funniest part of our discussion about the shoes was how little dirt they tracked in, and how easy they were to clean off. Because, you know, kids care about that! They have treads on the bottom, but unlike other shoes, she noticed right away that she didn't have a trail of ick following her.
Her final note on the shoes was that they are great to "run and play in."
