Back to School With Keen {Plus a Big Giveaway!}

We've had KEEN shoes for the kids for summertime for a while now. They're a summer go-to for many moms. I find that whenever a mom in one of my "Mom Facebook groups" asks "what are good summer shoes for kids?" there are instantly tons of comments below suggesting KEENs. They are durable, comfortable and kids love them. This season, KEEN is taking a giant step out of the summer and into fall for Back to School. Their new line is awesome and made to last just like the summer shoes we've been loving for years. 

The Encanto Collection from KEEN Kids was actually launched this past Spring. It was designed to  combine style, comfort, convenience, and function for kids and parents. For Back to School, they added the Encanto Wesley and Scout sneakers and Encanto Madison boot. These shoes are fun and fashionable for Back to School but also made with the durability to last the whole school year. 

My 3 have the KEEN Encanto Scout High Tops and really like them. The girls think they are "so cool" and Tommy thinks he's pretty cool too having the same shoes as his big sisters. I like how easy they are to get on Tommy's feet (chubby toddler feet + high tops are not always easy). I also like how easy they are for the girls to get on their own feet.  They both wanted high tops for school this year and I was hesitant because we've had some that are difficult to get on. These Scout high tops are perfect. 

Julie's has the Scout High Top for Abby and the Wesley High Top for Andrew. I think the Wesley is a really neat style for boys for school. 

One thing I learned about the KEEN Kids Encanto line is that all of the styles have a Cleansport NXT™ for natural odor control and an EVA footbed to provide the ultimate comfort. These are both key for school shoes that are going to last. When your little ones have to keep a pair of shoes on their feet all day long, you want them to be comfy! 

Here are 10 features of the KEEN Kids Encanto Wesley and Scout Sneakers that make them great for Back to School: 1. Cleansport NXT™ for natural odor control 2. Durable rubber overlays on toe and heel 3. EVA footbed 4. Mesh lining 5. Non-marking rubber outsole 6. Padded collar & tongue  7. Synthetic and textile upper 8. Leather upper (toddler sizes only)  9. Adjustable hook and loop closure (toddler and little kid sizes only) 

10. They are fun styles and cool colors!

I think school shoes are important because the kids wear them for so many hours each day. I want to make sure my kids are comfortable and wearing shoes that will last the school year. Our KEEN Kids shoes have always stood up to the many summer adventures we've worn them on, and I'm excited that we now have KEEN Kids shoes to wear to school.
