For years Keen's Bronx shoes have been a rugged favorite among street-smart commuters, but this youth-sized Bronx is perfect for the park, school and just about every place your kid has to venture without changing shoes. The Youth Bronx shoe is just as waterproof and stable as the bigger adult-sized shoes, but this one has Keen's secure fit lace capture system to eliminate the hassles of loopy untied laces tripping kids up. The rubber outsole grips well on a variety of surfaces but you won't find mars and tracks on your hardwood floors--unless someone forgot to wipe their feet before coming indoors.
