This is the 3rd pair of Keen shoes I have bought for my 3yr. old son, but the first pair of Keen sandals. They are well made and perfect for summer activities. My son looks too cute in these! People often compliment and ask about his shoes when he wears any of his Keen footwear. I generally order a half size up, not because I think they run small, but because kids grow fast and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
