Back to School with Keen Kids {Giveaway!}

In the summertime, kids need shoes to keep up with their days outdoors: climbing, splashing, summer camps, beach, lakes etc. When it’s time to head back to school, we often look for shoes that look nice and more like the shoes we had growing up. But if you’re kids are anything like mine, as soon as they bust through the school doors at the end of the day, they’re outside until bed with a lot of the same climbing, splashing and running that summertime brought. Also, since they’re now stuck inside at school all week, the weekends are all about outdoors. So this year, we’re sporting KEEN Kids for Back to School.

KEEN is a brand moms know and trust for summer. Our kids lived in their KEENS this summer. From the beach to the mountains to the playground, we had 7 kids between us that wore KEEN Kids all summer and they all held up. What a lot of moms don’t know is that KEEN also makes great school shoes too. So as the seasons change and transition to fall and back to school, check out what KEEN Kids offers for a great functional and quality product for kids.

KEEN Kids for Back to School

–    KEEN offers three different leather waterproof styles for little and big kids. Hikeport styles combine premium craftsmanship and outdoorsy style to be sure kids are ready for classroom learning and outdoor play.

 

It’s crazy to think my little girl who only wanted glitter ballet shoes a few years ago picked these out for the fall. She said “now THESE are what I need for the playground”. She’s switched from dresses to only pants and wants shoes she can “get dirty”. These shoes are SO well made and I have no doubt they’ll last all year. I chose the same style for Tommy and want to note that they are really easy to get on even though he has wide feet. He loves his new “big boy” shoes.

–    The Moxie Collection launched this spring and two new styles, Moxie Tall Waterproof Boot and Moxie Gore Flat, are great additions to keep the Moxie girl stylish and protected as she heads back to school. Spring and Fall Moxie styles are all great early back to school selections with function and style needed to start a new school year.

These are a great shoe for girls that love to wear dresses but also climb, run, etc. Alex wears a dress to school everyday and wanted a Mary Jane style. I think the Moxie looks adorable with dresses but is also practical for play and holds up for a year of school. She also has super narrow feet and the adjustable strap on the Moxie helps the shoe fit perfectly.

–   New KEEN Kids Fall Arrivals  now include styles from baby to big kid size 7. Little ones that are headed off to daycare and preschool this fall are covered with new Leo, Pep, Sprout styles. They are such cute styles and so well made for tiny, quickly growing feet. Miles isn’t heading back to school yet but he follows along on all his big siblings fall adventures.

  39. I have found that Keens are the ONLY shoes that last more than 30-60 days for my extremely active, climbing ninja boys! They have a YouTube channel called Backyard Ninja Kids and you can see them sporting their Keens there. All the leather ones are great because the sidewalls don’t wear out.

  48. My favourite KEEN Kid’s Style from the New Arrivals is the Big Kids’ MOXIE GORE FLAT in the Dress Blues/Raspberry Wine color scheme. They are exactly what my younger daughter needs for school. My favourite style overall is the Big Kids’ MOXIE MARY JANE – I know my older daughter would LOVE the Viridian/Dress Blues color scheme, and my younger daughter would love the Purple Wine/Nasturtium pair; I love that I could get them “matching” shoes in the individual colors they love.
