Fresh steps for little adventurers

KEEN's newest colours have landed - and we couldn't be more excited to share them with your family.

We've been on the hunt for shoes that can genuinely keep up with our kids - through the muddy park trails, the splash pad chaos, and everything in between. So when KEEN dropped a fresh wave of colours across their children's range, we had to share. Not just because the shades are gorgeous (they are), but because these are genuinely brilliant shoes built for real life with little ones.

There are three styles in the KEEN kids' lineup, and each one is designed for a different kind of adventure. Whether your child is a water baby, a trail-blazer, or somewhere in between - here's your guide to finding the perfect fit.


Which KEEN Fits Your Kid?

Each style brings something different to the table - here's what makes every one special.
Best All-Rounder Seacamp II CNX

Active · Water Play

Seacamp II CNX

The go-everywhere shoe. If I had to choose just one pair for my kids, this would be it. It's the lightest of the three styles, making it effortless for all-day wear - and it transitions seamlessly from dry land to water without skipping a beat.

Durability Very durable - built for active and water play
Weight Lightest of the three - great for movement & flexibility
Best for The ultimate all-rounder
Most Durable Newport H2

Outdoor Adventures

Newport H2

This is the shoe for the truly adventurous kid. Hiking rocky trails, rough playgrounds, splashing through rivers - the Newport H2 is KEEN's most durable option and built to handle every rugged outing you can throw at it. It offers a little more structure and protection, which is worth the modest extra weight.

Durability Most durable - built for rugged, rough use
Weight Moderate - more structure & protection = more support
Best for Hiking, rough playground, outdoor adventures
Casual Days Moxie Sandal

Everyday · Dress-Up · Easy Wear

Moxie Sandal

Available online only

For the slower days - the farmer's market mornings, the family lunches, the casual errands. The Moxie Sandal is KEEN's most relaxed style, and it's the one that looks just as sweet with a sundress as it does with shorts. Good durability, a light feel, and so easy to slip on.

Durability Good - ideal for lighter, everyday wear
Weight Light - comfortable for daily use
Best for Everyday outings, dress-up, easy casual wear

Built to last - by design

Three technologies that make KEEN stand apart from the rest.


KEEN.Fusion

A specially formulated glue that creates a stronger bond between the sole and upper - so they won't separate, no matter how much your little one puts them through.


KEEN Lace-Lock

An adjustable hook-and-loop strap system that keeps the fit snug and secure - even on the wiggliest of feet.


KEEN.Protect

Reinforced outsoles engineered to provide superior protection from abrasions and debris. Because small feet deserve serious protection.
