User Reviews
These show are so easy to put on my child. They are warm too. I liked them so much that I purchased them in the next size up as well.
They are great !! I always have problems finding shoes / slipper / boots that for over my sons braces . These really fit good are comfy and warm . Very well made .
4 year old loves them and so do I!
My husband purchased these shoes for our very active 2-year-old. These are the only shoes he will wear for outings. He actually keeps them on when we’re in the car and outside playing. We love them and our little one does too! Would highly recommend!
I love KEEN shoes. All my shoes are either Newport sandals or Kaci shoes. I ordered size 5 in this Howser house shoe, as that is what all my other KEENS are, but these are significantly smaller than Newports and Kacis. I was going to return them and order the larger size, but size 6 was no longer available :-(I was also disappointed that there is no arch support. The very thin innersoles say "arch support" on them, but they seem perfectly flat to me, and the innersole is firm where a cushy innersole would be preferred in a house shoe, so I am currently trying to find a solution for a soft arched innersole which won't cramp my feet in these smaller shoes.They are otherwise well made and look great.
We use these as slippers
I have a finished basement, but because it is attached to my garage, the concrete floors and steps leading up to the kitchen get very dirty. (Yes, A no shoe house is preferable, but members of the house cannot do no shoes in the house, so slippers or socks have been the only way to prevent dirty feet. But I disgress...) The KEEN Unisex-Child Howser Low Wrap Casual Slipper is better if you have a dirty basement like we have or for running out onto the porch. I do not like them for in the main part of the house because they are effectively a shoe and I feel like my son is just running around in the house with his shoes on. Especially when he puts them on to go downstairs and comes back up and never takes them off.They are lightweight. They are not cozy. They feel like a plastic vinyl on the inside, so your child will probably want to wear socks with them. KEEN's run small so I would size up. My son is at a 6.5 right now so the 7s were the way to go. My son likes them better than any slipper I've given him, but these are basically a shoe you can't wear in public because they would wear thin quickly. They've helped my son cope with our new puppy who like to nibble on toes.
My 3 year old loves them!! Easy on and Easy off!!
