Thanks for the heads up about nordstroms. I just ordered ds2 a pair of newport sandals. They'll be perfect for summer camp!

Throw 'em in the washer

Funny, DS had a pair of knock-offs last year that got so foul-smelling I ended up just replacing them. His Keens aren't bad at ALL (I did have to wash them once because they were playing in the creek and THAT's nasty, lol)

Can someone tell me do these run true to size?

In our experience they run a little big.

We throw ours in the washer ALL the time, but when they get really bad I make a paste of baking soda and water and scrub the footbed with it and and old toothbrush.

Hmm, Gavin is currently in a size 8, just about ready for a 9. I was going to get 9's but now I don't know. Decisions, decisions...

You might be ok with a 9. I think they run about a half size big compared to say Nike tennis shows. Maybe someone else will chime in. But for us if Allie was in a half size I always had to go down instead of up.

I went a size bigger on ours, hoping to get two years out of them. They tighten up nicely and we haven't had any problems with the kids saying they feel too big. Owen wears a nine in some shoes and a ten in others....I went with elevens for his Keens.

I had to size up. DD is wearing a 9 in most shoes, but I could barely get the 9 on her. So I got a 10, and she still only has about 1/2" room in them. So now I'm tempted to get the size 11.

They are currently on sale at REI, too (through the 28th).

I think they run a little larger as well. I wonder if differenst styles run differently? All 4 of my boys have worn them for the past 3 years and we always get the Newport H2 style.

For what it's worth I got the size 9 and they are big on Gavin. We could have done an 8 with no problems (yeah he's got tiny little feet). They do tighten up nice though and I'm fine with them being a little big. They should fit him well into the Fall.

If anyone is still looking for a deal on Keens, I just bought some for my son from shoebuy.com. It wasn't exactly a bargain, but a good price in my opinion. I used EMLSURPRISE25 for 25% off and I'll get 8.5% cash back through Ebates. NY is the only state that has to pay tax so I had to pay that but shipping and returns are free.

Just a heads up--If you're looking for a deal and think the Keen Sunports might be for you, read the reviews online or have your LO try them on in a store.

I sell used Keens on ebay (usually store returns, and most of the time when the Sunports get returned it's because they rub the kids' ankles). I've also had friends with similar experiences.

(The Sunports are made of a soft plastic-type material vs the Newport H2s polyester webbing with a neoprene-like padding, making the Sunports much more affordable).

I've not been happy with the sunsports, Elizabeth has had two pairs and both the print rubbed off. She has a lot of shoes so it wasn't as if she wore them all that often.

Zulily is going to debut Keen on the web site beginning Thursday at 6 a.m. PT.

I hope there are some good deal on the kids' Keens!
