Got these for my 5 year old son to wear as a second shoe in addition to his black Sketcher sneakers he was wearing, partly because I have heard you are not supposed to wear the same shoes everyday and partly because some outfits look better with black shoes, some with brown.  At first he did not want to wear them because he loves his sneakers.  But since he tired these, now he refuses to wear the black sneakers, even with black pants.  He has worn the Keens every day for the past 2 or 3 weeks.

They are super cute.  Every Keen shoe I have bought for son or husband have been excellent quality and these are no exception.  Something different than z-strap velcro for the kid who has not yet learned to tie shoelaces.  My son is currently in kindergarten and I hope to tackle the issue of lace tying sometime this year and will not buy tie shoes until he learns.  I am so glad there are so many cute options available.
