Keen’s Children Shoes and Basin Boots Review

KEEN’s children’s collection is loved by big and little explorers alike, renowned and respected for comfort, performance, kid friendly features and fun, contemporary styling. With a fantastic range of colours and styles coupled with unique features such as protective toe boxes, robust grippy outsoles and highly cushioned midsoles and arch supports, KEENs are a firm favourite year on year. From simply gorgeous cosy crib shoes, all the way through to super toasty insulted winter boots and tough, fast and light hikers, there is something in the collection whether the juniors are kicking through conkers or sledding on the slopes.

Eliza was sent the fabulous Basin WP (RRP: £70) to review and boy did she put all their features to the test straight away. I managed to get one photograph before she leapt in the biggest, muddiest puddle she could find!

Fun meets function with these boots. The water-resistant leather and textile upper features a nifty bungee draw la­cing system to keep snow and slush out – none of this faffing about with laces and so much easier to get on and off – Eliza can do it herself.

The gorgeous faux shearling lining is equipped with a breathable, waterproof membrane and 200g of charcoal bamboo insulation to keep feet cosy on even the coldest of days. The ingenious dual compound rubber outsole responds when in contact with slippery surfaces like the slimy mud we found on our day out and features tough lugs for reliable grip and protection on snow, ice and other slippery surfaces.

The boots not only look fabulous, they kept Eliza’s feet dry and are really sturdy and made climbing trees a breeze. They are available in an array of colours to please even the most judicious of juniors, including Olympian Blue/Racing Red, Dress Boue/Carnelia Rose and Wineberry/Lavender Fog.

Because of the horrible weather we have been having they did get very dirty but have cleaned up well. We left them to dry and then scraped off the worst of the mud and then gave them a clean with warm soapy water.

  1. You know we’ve never heard of KEENS before! But these look cool. A bit expensive compared to cheap wellies I wear but they would definitely keep my feet warm! They look real stylish too x

  3. These are the sort of boots that Mini needs. He has flat feet so struggles getting wellies on, but we need the waterproof and ability to clean that you get with them./ They look ace
