Kids' Newport H2
Our most rugged hybrid sandal is the Newport, and it's the original. Newport is part water sandal, part hiking shoe. It's got a beefy outsole and toe bumper to keep feet protected on the rockiest terrain. It also comes in a more accessible Boundless design that has a wider opening and an adjustable heel strap.
Best for: river sports, summer camp, and hiking.
Kids' Hyperport
Our most cushioned hybrid sandal is the Hyperport. We took the Newport and "hyperfied" it with a super-springy sole that's light and airy. It has a stretch mesh heel for easy pull-on and a secure fit.
Best for: Splashing in fountains, water park days, and chasing the ice cream truck.
Kids' Seacamp II CNX
Our most minimal, flexible hybrid sandal is the Seacamp. A great one for kids who’d rather not wear shoes at all.
Best for: tidepooling, SUPing, fishing, and backyard water fun.
Kids' Motozoa
Our most sneaker-y sandal is the Motozoa. It's super sporty with an open-air upper to keep feet cool. Instead of a bungee-cinch closure, it has no-tie bungee laces and a hook-and-loop closure. It's water-friendly but leans more land-based fun than the others.
Best for: ziplining, playgrounding, sports, and day camps.
Kids' HyperFLT
A hyper-light clog, HyperFLT is an all-summer staple for days around the backyard, campsite, and water park. Easy on with an adjustable heel strap to dial in the fit. Keep 'em by the front door for wherever the summer takes them.
Best for: camping, backyard play, post-sports comfort, and water park fun.
Having a quick-dry, hybrid sandal means lots more summer fun for kids – and one less thing for parents to think about. If you're still not sure which one to choose, chat with one of our KEEN Fitters.
