KEEN Unisex-Child Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandals
A closed-toe water sandal built for kids who spend the whole trip in creeks, on beaches, and at the lakeshore. The washable polyester webbing dries fast, the grippy outsole handles wet rocks, and the rubber toe bumper keeps little toes safe when they kick stones or stub into roots.

Open sandals leave little toes exposed to stubs and scrapes on rocky campsites, while cheap water shoes fall apart after one beach trip. The Newport H2 pairs the protection of a closed shoe with the quick-dry freedom of a sandal, so kids can go creek-to-campfire without a shoe change.
🏆 How It Compares
The Newport H2 is the long-standing pick for kids' outdoor footwear because it solves the two problems parents actually hit: toe protection and drying time. A rubber bumper and sturdy sole handle rocky terrain, while quick-dry webbing keeps the next creek crossing comfortable. The trade-offs are a snug fit (size up) and more weight than minimalist water shoes.
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Closed-toe rubber bumper protects little toes on rocks, roots, and creek beds
- Quick-dry webbing and hydrophobic lining mean wet sandals don't stay wet all day
- Grippy multi-directional outsole holds on slick wet rocks and boat decks
- Machine-washable and durable enough to hand down trip after trip
❌ Cons
- Runs snug for some kids — many parents size up half to a full size
- Heavier than barefoot-style water shoes, so not ideal for long running sessions
