Shoe specialists at KEEN Footwear are known for their trendy range, but as well as looking good, they do the job too.

The latest new range starts with the Loveland Boot WP which is ideal for youngsters who love to be outdoors even when the weather is bad. The boots are waterproof, have a breathable membrane and are made from nubuck and textile. That’s the technical stuff, all you need to know is the boots are rugged and have a special bungee system on the boot shaft to make it easy for little fingers to adjust. And with a strong and special climate rubber outsole, your litte one can keep on playing, whatever the weather.
