Keen is the Reddit community's top pick for durability — parents report their kids destroy every other brand but Keen survives a full year of abuse. Built with reinforced toe caps and rugged outsoles, they handle trails, playgrounds, and everything in between.
When durability is the priority, Keen wins the community vote by a landslide. If your kid is a shoe destroyer, this is the only brand worth buying.
