Speed Hound by KEEN is the first sporty shoe of its kind that's been specifically made for young bikers, scooters and skateboarders. The design of this shoe, uniquely made for kids on wheels at play, is full of kid-friendly, durable features that recognize young children drag their shoes to help with both braking and balance. As Justin McDonald, Director of Marketing for KEEN Kids, says, "Learning to scooter or ride a bike is notoriously tough on footwear. Up to this point, parents have had to live with kids dragging and shredding their shoes."
This sporty shoe for kids is made with protection, traction and durability in mind, and it helps to inspire a love of movement from a young age. The confidence-inspiring footwear design boasts KEEN's iconic toe bumper and heel protection, plus a breathable liner and Eco Anti-Odor insoles.
