Keen sandals

Summer footwear - it's hard to know what to wear! Some days you need rubber boots (actually a lot of days here on the prairies this summer), other days shoes, sandals, flip flops, etc etc... And, it's hard to find something durable and easy to wear and maintain, especially for kids.

Just in time for summer, Daniel was sent a pair of KEEN sandals in the Venice model. He likes them a lot because they're easy to put on, and look just like everyone else's sandals! We like them because his toes are protected, they're easy to clean and easy to get on and off. They're airy enough to keep his feet cool, and the leather uppers help prevent stinky feet - ew! :)

I've seen many kids wearing KEEN footwear this summer and they all moved with ease, running, jumping etc. Daniel seems very comfortable in his sandals, and I think they give him good support and protection through various outdoor activities (who knows what an almost 2-year old boy will get into next?!). These sandals are safe for puddle jumping and wearing at the lake without changing shoes all the time and also great for outings (ie. the zoo!), and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.

Some features of the Venice sandal:

• Hydrophobic mesh lining
• Grippy, non-marking rubber outsole
• Patented toe protection
• Secure-fit Lace Capture System with added hook and loop adjustability over instep
• Water resistant leather upper

KEEN has footwear for everyone, including sandals, shoes, boots and slip-ons for men, ladies and kids. They also have a line of bags and active socks. Many models are available in several colours, and the website will show you views of each style from various angles to help you make your choice.

In Canada, Keen footwear can be ordered online directly from the Keen website, from various online retailers, or found at a shoe store near you using the "find a dealer" tool. If you live in the USA, check out the American version of the KEEN website for where to buy a pair for you or your children.
