If you need shoes that are ready for romping through streams and puddles and tackling mountain trails, but also great for playground jungle gyms, the Alamosa WP is the shoe for you. Keen’s Alamosa is a lightweight and waterproof trail shoe that’s ready for anything. A waterproof and breathable membrane keeps little feet dry in wet or muddy conditions and the secure fit lace capture system ensures the Alamosa stays put during energetic play or exploration.
My boys go to a school with a really strict uniform policy. The only thing they don’t strictly enforce are shoes. So when we go back to school shopping the kids always seem to enjoy shoe shopping the most.
This year was a bit different for Blake. He is in second grade and his looks are starting to matter a bit more to him. Normally I spend hours bringing the kids to multiple stores looking for the perfect Batman shoes or stunning lime green shoes that really show their personality. This year, Blake’s main concern was they were easy to get on and on, fast to tie, waterproof and matched his uniform!
I searched online for a bit for waterproof shoes and Keen was one of the very first brands that popped up. I used their “Find The Perfect Shoe” program and Blake picked the slate black and rust colored Alamosa shoes!
Features of the Alamosa Include
– Non-marking rubber outsole
– Secure fit lace capture system
– Waterproof breathable membrane
– Waterproof leather and textile upper
With all the rain we have been getting in Pennsylvania the past few weeks we have really been able to test the waterproofness of the Alamosa’s out. I am super excited to say, they are truly waterproof. Even when splashing in puddles, Blake’s socks stay nice and dry. The easy on and off strap has made them Blake’s very favorite shoe and the amazing wear on them let’s me know they will be able to be his favorite pair for a long time.

I’ve never heard of this brand and I don’t know why! These shoes look great!
These look good indeed. It’s hard to find good looking waterproof shoes. Gortex ones aren’t usually as nice.
I like the shoes. So cute.
I wish they would have had these shoes back when my sons were little. They would ruin plenty of shoes because they couldn’t stay out of the creek! Coming home with mud and soaking wet shoes and clothes. I’ll have to look into these shoes for my granddaughter when she gets old enough do the things her daddy did!
I have never heard of this brand. I like that the are waterproof. A great shoe for my nephew.
Being waterproof is definitely a plus and great looking also, can’t beat that. My kids went through so many shoes strictly because they loved jumping in puddles. They are rugged without looking boxy and clunky…love them.
These are really nice shoes.They look part boot and part tennis shoe. These would be good for my neices because they run around and play like a couple of boys sometimes. Very Cool shoes! 🙂
Not sure if I would spend the $65 for shoes my son will outgrow in a couple months but I like the look of them good for both church and home (we home school) and the waterproof idea is great!
When my kids were little, 1-5 they grew through shoes every few months. However Blake is 8, and his shoe size has been the same for almost a year and a half, which for me is very acceptable for a good quality, comfortable pair of shoes!!
Waterproof is the best for the kids, especially in late Fall.
those look great! they look very well made too!
very nice, I like these
These are really nice waterproof shoes and I have not heard of this brand befor your review.
The shoes are very nice looking and look so comfortable. Would not mind a pair myself!
I love that these are waterproof. My son lives for jumping in puddles, but strongly dislikes the result. These would be perfect
I have Keen sandals (they’re perfect for our summer weather here), but never thought to look at the brand for regular kids shoes. Will have to investigate for my son – thanks for the review!
I bought my first pair of Keen’s years ago on the recommendation of my foot doctor. I love them. I’ve worn them for everyday use as well as hiking for years now, and they’re still as comfortable as the day I bought them. I’ll definitely buy more Keens in the future.
I’m glad I stopped by here. This was really informative. Great looking shoes.
Keens are excellent and last forever
I love that these are waterproof! They look very comfy.
I have never heard of this brand before. I looked and they have them in a girl color! These would be so great for my daughter. We buy non-school shoes for going outside, the park, all of the fun messy things. I love that these are waterproof. These would e so great. I especially like because the laces won’t drag & need to be washed every week!
