I have always had a pair of Keens in every size for my daughter. She outgrew her last pair of hiking boots, so I bought these to replace them. I love the design, and they are a little more feminine than other Keen hikers we've had. The color is a little bold for my taste, but it was either this or the boy ones.

The only complaint I have about these is that they seem to run a little bigger than typical Keens. I've always found that Keens seem to run about a 1/2 size small (e.g. when she was in a 6.5, she would fit in a 7 in Keens), but these seem pretty true to size, so it might be a couple of months before they fit her properly. I really wish the little kid sizes came in 1/2 sizes.

One other thing to note is that the toddler/little kid sizes have fake laces, and a velcro closure at the top. This isn't a problem for me because I like the convenience. I'm not sure at what size they start using laces. These are a size 11.

I can't comment on their durability, since she has only worn them twice so far, but all the other Keens I've owned have help up wonderfully and are waiting in a box for my younger daughter to grow into!
