Keen shoes are the best!  We tried a pair for each of our boys this fall when school started.  They seem to be very comfortable, are holding up great and are easy to get on/off.  We have decided to continue purchasing Keen shoes for our kids, 6 and 3.  Sticker shock is possible when comparing prices with Target, Walmart, etc., however we feel the value of the shoe is worth paying more.  Bottom line, these shoes are awesome and I will continue to purchase.
