These are a standard annual summer purchase for both kids. These go well with everything and since toes are covered up and they have a back, they are acceptable in gym class at school as kids have gym everyday. No having to change into gym shoes!!!! Added bonus, they have a roomy fit at toe area ( this style) and are pretty easy on and off. My son has special needs and wears Keen styles year-round for their easy on and off and Velcro fasteners so he can manipulate them on his own as he cant tie shoes. Hes 9 wears a size 13 (bought a size 1 to allow for growth) as he will be wearing these until November 1steven in the Midwest. Cant beat the quality and style of thesebuy with confidence!
