Another great pair of Keen sandals. The Venice is more open and cooler to wear than the Newport; my pair seems to run a bit larger. I am a 7.5 but generally wear an 8 in Keens. I think the 7.5 would have worked in the Venice, though the 8 is also fine. Since I have discovered Keens, I don't want to wear any other shoes.

I like style & comfort. I am going to order a pair for my husband.
from San Francisco on 5/20/2008
Once you get used to the Keen look.......they are incredibly comfortable.......and I wear them with most everything......

A great shoe overall!
from Minnesota on 5/8/2008
I was looking for a sandle that could replace my tennis shoes for the summer months. I found it! These are great. I can wear them for long walks, hiking, fishing at the lake, or even a day running errands around town. LOVE THEM!

I love my Keens!!! A friend recommended them to me but I was cautious because I suffer from plantar fascitis and I have to be really careful finding the right shoes. I generally wear orthotics in my running shoes and casual shoes so I was concerened that the Keens would not offer enough support without them. No need to worry after all. After a full day of walking at the Biltmore House and grounds I did not have any more pain that evening than with my other shoes. I WILL be buying another pair so I can live in KEENS all summer!!!!

The most comfortable shoes I own! Hold up to everyday" wear & tear". Own 3 colors and want more! Great "3 season" shoe!
I love these shoes and wear them all the time. I live in a hot climate and love the breathability of the shoes. I was very disappointed after wearing them to the beach and walking in the water. I rinsed them off as soon as I got home and the color faded significantly. The robin's egg color that I loved, has now become a dull grey color. BOOO! The only complaint I have!
I have planter facietis and constant foot pain and other problems from dancing all my life. This shoes feel amazing all day. Now it is winter and I find myself breaking all fashion rules and wearing them with socks!! BEST shoes ever and this is the truth. Good for wide feet and high arches!!!!!!!!
from Orem UT on 11/28/2007
I have a very wide short foot with a high instep. It's always been hard to find shoes that fit. And these fit. It's a challenge to get them on, but once they're on, it's been wonderful. I just wish they also came in a tan or camel color and a denim or navy color. I also wear Earth shoes, and want a negative heel, and these are pretty close. Thanks for these shoes!
I like the comfort this shoe offers. My initial reaction to the shoe was that it is ugly, sort of manly looking. Once I tried them on and walked around in them I was hooked. Now I don't want to walk without them.

my girlfriends first pair of Keens...she loves it...it's cute and very comfortable for walks in the park or beach, cycling or going to the grocery store on saturday morning...looks really cute with capri pants. it takes a little time to get used to sandals, but after you wear them for several day, you don't want to take them off
from Cincinnati, OH on 11/5/2007
I have a bunion and I can wear these shoes all day. I stand a lot at work at a specialty running store and I feel like these Keens fit in really well. I also do triathlon, so they fit in with my active lifestyle. Can I wear them with socks, or is that too granola?
from KS on 11/4/2007
These shoes are going with me to Jamaica for beach walking. I love the fact they are washable. I have a friend whose Keens are 10 years old and he still loves them for hiking, wading, and general kicking around on the weekends. I plan on having mine for a long time too!
from Chester Springs, PA on 11/3/2007
These are a very comfy and stylish shoe that can be worn with socks or in bare feet...I love them!
from IN on 10/28/2007
I wish this shoes was a tad longer. I think the next size may have been too big, because these really run wide. I have put thiem in the shoe stretcher and that has helped. I have not worn them out yet, willl have to wait till spring.
from USA on 10/26/2007
Bought to wear for a trip to Spain. They were great for long days of walking. Took a few days of weraing them in before the trip. They rubbed a bit where the closure is. I had to wear with socks for a week before that went away. These shoes are great because you can wear with black socks at night and you can barely tell they are sandels for nighttime in Spain. As the Spainards are very shoe style conscious and I didn not want to pack a ton of shoes! The only negative was that my feet did tend to slide around in them if hiking on uneven terrain. Would only wear for flat terrain on next excursion.
from Fort Collins, Co on 10/24/2007
I bought these because I have very tender heels and haven't been able to find really comfortable shoes. These are it! I wear them everywhere, all the time now. I had read previous reviews. All were great but a few said the sizing was off by about 1/2 size, so I order a 1/2 larger and they fit perfect. I will buy others so when these wear out, if they do, I'll have new ones waiting. Love um!!!
from Columbus, GA on 10/24/2007
Super comfortable. Good arch support.
But a bit heavy.

Venice by Keen is a great pair of shoes. I own the H2 pair as well, and they still look new after two years of water play and everyday wear. I just got the Venice, and they have the same great footbed construction that allows me to teach all day on the hard concrete floor and then go do more in the afternoon without my feet ever complaining. I have high arches, and the arch support fits my foot just right. I feel this is their best footbed; some other Keen shoes I've tried don't have the same good support. Overall, if they are anything like my H2 pair, the Venice will wear well and look good for a long time, in the classroom or on the kayak!

I tried on the regular and the H2 version of this sandal. I like the ribbon type strapping better, but loved the robin's egg colr, so went with this one. The fit is a bit stiffer than the ribbon version.
I have high arches and a high instep, so most shoes do not fit me well and I am left to my trusty Berkenstocks (size 36). I was amazed that my foot just slipped into the size 7 and there was no looking back from there. I love these things!
I have worn them everywhere, but have yet to get them wet. Easy to slip on, easy to slip off and so comfortable in between.

from Novato, CA on 10/17/2007
These are not your typical sandals; they are more like walking shoes with ventilation. They are very comfortable with wiggle room for your toes. For added comfort, wear with socks and walk for miles. I like them so much that I bought 4 pairs.
from northern New England on 10/16/2007
these sandals are great since I stand up at work all day on cement floors and they keep my feet comfortable
from Denver, CO on 10/16/2007
These aren't the most attractive shoes, but they are quite comfortable and durable. Perfect for wearing on weekends!
from Clatskanie, Or on 10/15/2007
I am a recess aid & I love these sandles on the playground.I am on my feet alot & they keep my feet very comfortable. They go very well with capri's.
from Sutter Creek, CA on 10/14/2007
After observing several friends sporting their Keen sandals, I decided to try them for myself. I am NOT disappointed. They are comfortable, easy to put on and hopefully will last a long time. I tend to be hard on my shoes as I have a bad knee and put more weight on the opposite foot. Thank you for an excellent product.[...]
from florida on 10/13/2007
great work shoe for me
from Golden, CO on 10/11/2007
Very comfortable and work well with my orthotics. Buying online I found the color I was looking for.
from Ohio on 9/30/2007
My best friend bought these shoes, made me wear them because she loved them so much. I wore them one day on the river & fell in love. I ordered my own pair that night. They've replaced my tennis shoes for walking and my flip-flops for running around town. I was trying to describe them to my mother who is always looking for new comfortable & funky shoes & I said they were like walking on two pads of butter covered in clouds! I know it's cheesy - but really these shoes are the MOST comfortable shoe I've ever owned.
from Portland, Oregon on 9/18/2007
I have had my Keen sandals for 3 weeks,and except for job interviews, have worn them 100% of the time.I feel light on my feet,and smile when I look down at them. The comfort is amazing to me~I walk for exercise 2X a day,and feel that they are secure on all surfaces(sidewalks & dirt trails...I've not tried really rocky trails yet..),and since there are openings,my feet do not sweat as they do with socks and regular,closed walking shoes. It is easy for me to forget that I have them on. I have retired my regular walking shoes. Good job! My experience with these sandals has led me to desire other styles from Keen.Thanks~!
from North Carolina on 8/31/2007
Will buy more of this brand of shoes.
from Mechanicsville VA on 8/30/2007
I love the look and feel of this shoe. I have wide feet and this shoe is great!
from Lake Villa, IL on 8/23/2007
These shoes are waterproof and real confortable. I wear them all the time.
from Newport, Tn on 8/22/2007
Love the shoe
from chicago on 8/2/2007
Very comfortable, could wear them all day. Light hiking, water sports - they are perfect. My feet have never hurt in them. The only slight con is that my feet always feel hot in them. however, it's not that big of a deal. Definitely worth spending the money if you want comfort and want to use them for outdoor activities. Great in the water!
from SF Bay Area, CA on 8/2/2007
I love this shoe, I have two pairs and will buy more if these ever wear out. They are so comfortable and cute I can't say enough about the shoe, they are my favorite go-to shoe for summer. Never any discomfort, the only drawback is they can get warm and a little funky-smelling. But then I just pop them in the washer and they are good to go. They dry very fast. If you hike in them, or wear them to the beach, they do seem to attract rocks and sand, which are hard to get out. I get 1/2 size up in these and most other Keens.
from Kansas on 8/2/2007
Bought for a beach trip. Perfect for walking on beach, sand shakes right out. Also excellent for casual everyday wear, with or without socks.
from otisville, mI on 7/30/2007
perect for biking/touring easy to pack
