No break in period. My size 10.5 feet fit the size 11 shoes wonderfully.
from Fairfax, VA on 10/9/2008
Wore this brand new shoe in San Diego - SeaWorld, Miramar Air Show, Seaport Village, USS Midway - really, anywhere I could. Very light, no break-in needed, no blisters. I just loved it - except that it discolored my toes. Will wear dark colored toenail polish next time. No big deal.
from Delray Beach, FL on 9/28/2008
I absolutely love this shoe! I wear it everywhere I can - it is super breathable, amazingly durable and I have never found a more comfotable shoe. It has good arch support and I can wear it to yoga, to pick up the kids from school, to the beach, to the grocery store with it still looking good and matching anything from jeans to shorts to casual dresses even. NOTE: In other Keens, I wear a size 6.5 consistently; in this style shoe, I had to order a half size up.

I originally bought these for water aerobics, but I find myself wearing them all the time. I wish they came in HOT PINK!!
from Chicago, IL on 9/6/2008
I bought these because my husband loved his Keen sandals. I have bought several of this style in different colors because they are so comfortable. I wear them running errands or sometimes to the office if I don't have meetings or court. They are cooler than the Newports I have, so they are better in hot weather. However, the insoles aren't as breathable as I'd like so the soles of my feet get a bit sweaty. I have a bunion on one foot and the style accommodates and obscures it. They have the usual Keen great arch support and are very stable. The sizing is also tricky with Keens, but this style is consistently 1/2 size too small for me. I wish I lived in a hotter climate to wear these all year.
from Goshen, CT on 8/21/2008
Used them twice for kayaking and one time for swimming so far. very comfortable. Don't have to be broken in. ordered 1/2 size bigger and they are a perfect fit. they do fill up with sand when you step into the water and then its kind of tough to get the sand out.
from Buckeye, AZ on 8/19/2008
great for rafting/tubing, when you need to walk on sharp rocks in river beds and has decent grip when climbing out over slippery rocks.
from Memphis, TN on 8/18/2008
This is a great shoe! Perfect for walking, sight seeing and hiking. I traveled for business followed by a vacation and this shoe was perfect. I did not have to pack several large pairs of shoes for my various forms of activities and exerrcise. It's also a cute shoe on.I highly recommend it.[...]
from Alexandria, LA on 7/24/2008
The most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I use them sometimes
to walk the mall for fitness....
from Harrison Township, MI on 7/24/2008
This color is brighter in person than it appears on the screen.
from little rock, ar on 7/15/2008
I took these shoes to Costa Rica and wore them ziplining and white water rafting -- the perfect outdoor shoe. They got really wet rafting and were dry in no time. It does run a 1/2 size small but I had tried them on in a store and they told me that so I knew to order them a 1/2 size biggger (the store didn't have the color I wanted and it would take to long to get them in so I ordered online and got them before my trip).
from Castro Valley, CA on 7/15/2008
I have very tough feet to fit correctly. I also have Plantar Fasciitis and high arches. I wanted a comfortable sandal that I could walk in forever. This is it! Thanks to all of the reviews I was able to read on this site, I found the most comfortable shoe. I'm already looking for more Keens and Merrels.
from Riverside IL on 7/13/2008
These are one of the most comfortable pairs of casual-active shoes that I own.
from Sykesville MD on 7/11/2008
These are the best shoes ever: comfortable, stylish AND pretty!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 7/10/2008
I had a big business trip coming up and needed to pack light. These shoes were perfect. There was no "breaking in" period. I put them on and was on my way. My toes are protected and I still feel that "summer" freedom for my feet.
from Ashland, OR on 7/10/2008
Great for beach vacations and around town errands during hot summer weather. Keen is famous for toe protection and this one is no exception.
On long walks/hikes this shoe seems to irritate the bottom of my feet, perhaps this will change with extended wear. Other than that I would recommend this shoe, it's ready to go right out of the box!
from Chicago, IL on 7/9/2008
I was looking for a shoe that I could wear while riding my bike. I wanted well ventilated shoes that I could wear without socks, some traction to grab onto my pedals and to be able to wear them all day. I live in Chicago and walk and bike all over the city. These shoes satisfied all of my needs. I love them, except they are way too bright green for my taste. The color seemed a bit more muted on line. I highly recommend these shoes!
from Memphis on 7/9/2008
Very, very comfortable. I've gotten a lot of admiring comments. People like the bright color. My feet do get sweaty and stinky b/c of the rubbery inside sole though. Better with socks (well, if you're wearing long pants).
These felt great from the minute I put them on. They do feel a tiny bit short but I think that is from the sturdy elastic heel that holds the foot up close to the front of the shoe. I bought my husband a pair too and he sent his back because of a very high instep made it almost impossible to put on. He also did not like the "feel" of the instep material.
I resommend a larger size if you are close to that larger size anyway to give you the extra length.
from Boston Ma on 7/9/2008
Nice lightweight sandal. Very comfortable feels very secure on your foot
from Chicago, IL on 7/8/2008
Although I am a fan of keens, this style runs short in size.
from Pleasanton, CA on 7/6/2008
I am an event coordinator and am sometimes on my feet for 10 to 12 hours a day. These shoes give me great support, don't chafe anywhere and stay on my feet. In addition, you can get them wet and they dry out quickly and that's a plus for me.
One of the best features is the protected toe area. I have to move a lot of things around during set up for events and am always rushing around...I can't tell you how many times I've bumped my toes and been grateful for the protection.
I would recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a sturdy, comfortable, durable shoe with some pizzazz!
from Stillwater, MN on 7/5/2008
Very comfortable sandal and looks good too.
from ohio on 7/4/2008
Very cute and comfortable. I like the openness of the shoe while still having the toe protection for outdoor activities. I wore these for a week's worth of sightseeing and light hiking with no problem. The next week, however, I wore them in a wet environment and found the footbed very slippery when the shoe was wet. Too bad since this is marketed as an H2 and that is one reason I bought the shoe. I don't have the same problem with my Keen Newport H2s. The Venice H2 also seems to run a bit bigger than my other keens. I usually order half a size larger than my regular shoe size when ordering Keens, I probably would have been ok with my regular size on this one. Sizing up may have caused the slippage in wet environments, who knows? I still like the shoe and wear it often for casual situations, but will stick with my Newport h2s for wet wear.

An excellent procduct[...]
from vermont on 6/30/2008
you can never go wrong with any keen shoes-the quality surpasses all others-comfort and durability rock!
from va. beach va on 6/30/2008
What a great and comfortable shoe. As a runner, I like to keep my feet and legs happy and these shoes do the trick. You can wear them just about anywhere. I love these shoes.
from Tennessee on 6/30/2008
These match my new bathing suit for water aerobics classes. A tiny bit short but feel plenty good with arch supports and toe protection.
from Fort Myers Beach, FL on 6/27/2008
I wear these shoes for work all day long, outdoors, often on the beach. These shoes allow me to go in and out of the water, they do not fill up with sand. They are very comfortable and have great arch support. People ask me where they get them.
from Tinley Park, IL on 6/27/2008
Great everyday sandal. Also have in black - love the new green and yellow - looks great with the gray sole!
from Coronado, CA on 6/25/2008
Haven't worn anything but flip flops for years. I put these on and don't take them off til I go to bed. They are so comfortable and durable and my feet feel good in them. This blue color is also a great look with long or short jeans.
from Minnesota on 6/24/2008
I walked all over Europe last year in my orange Keens and decided I needed another color. I get so many compliments, and I wear them everywhere. Walking the dog, shopping, sailing lessons (yes) and even to dinner. They breathe and hold up. I can wash them in the washing machine and wear them the same day again. I did put down that they are true to size, but thinking it over, I have purchased a half size larger just for comfort.
from Treadwell, NY on 6/24/2008
I didn't think these were as comfortable as other keen products. I love my other keen shoes and will stick with designs that work for me.
from Edgewater, MD on 6/20/2008
The most comfortable and durable pair of shoes you will own. I recomend Online shoes.com to every one who compliments me on these shoes. [...]
from Sierra's of California on 6/17/2008
I use these wonderful comfortable shoes for everyday casual. I live in the mountains and they are great for camping/hiking/Lake etc.
My husband got a pair and he raved about them so much, I decided to try a pair. Since then we have purchased them for our daughter and son in law. Wish they made them in tiny sizes so we could buy them for all of our grandchildren!
They are so sturdy but cool in the summer. I thought my feet would feel "cloddy" in them but they don't feel like that. I have balance problems adn I feel very safe and supported in these shoes. Thank you Keen! Love the up to date colors you are offering too! We like this model better too as it doesn't have as many staps and still feels very sturdy for hiking etc., but keep your feet cooler.
from Cary, IL on 6/17/2008
This sandal is very well made and will last along time. I wear it everyday. I love it for biking and walking around town.
from St. Charles, MO on 6/11/2008
I love my new Keen sandals. I have the Venice H2. I do a lot of walking and Hiking and these shoes aleveate all this discomfort I encountered with so many other shoes. I feel I can walk and hike for a much longer period of time. When I take the sandals off.....no sore feet.
from Coos Bay, OR on 6/10/2008
This shoe has helped me eliminate leg fatigue while working on cement floors in a hospital. It is like having your own anti-fatigue mat every where you go!
from North Carolina on 6/9/2008
I just recieved my Keen sandals a few days ago, and I am beyond impressed!!!! Not only are they the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, but they look great as well! I am very active- I love to camp, hike, run, walk, swim, etc... and I can totally see wearing these rugged sandals for all of my outdoor adventures. They truly are a perfect shoe!!!! I am telling all of my friend's about them!
from New Jersey on 6/8/2008
I was looking for a good comfortable shoe that would be good on an active vacation at a lake. These are perfect. Open like a sandal yet rugged like a sneaker, perfect for boating , beach or hiking, plus very comfortable.

This sandal was comfortable from the first time I put it on!
from Boise, ID on 5/30/2008
I love this shoe because it is very comfortable and versatile. I have planter fasciitis and sever ankle pain in my left foot. When I wear these shoes or any other style of Keens, I don't have as much pain. They are a good supportive shoe and I can wear them everywhere. The colors are awesome too!
from NYC, NY on 5/29/2008
Actually this shoe was purchased as a gift for my sister who easily sprangs her ankles while she has to walk a long distance almost everyday to see to her business. A good-looking and comfortable shoe that can protect her ankles is what she needs, and this is it. She loves it so much that she wears it almost everyday.
from Port Orange, FL on 5/26/2008
I just love everything about these sandals. I had been told to buy a size bigger so that is what I ordered. When I first put them on I thought they were too wide and then realized at just a pull of the elastic lace, I could adjust them and not they are perfect. The rugged sole and the hard toe make them perfect for riding. The open design help the keep the temperature down on my feet in these oppressively hot weather down here in Florida. The color is perfect, too; it matches my bike! :)
from Dallas, TX on 5/23/2008
Comfortable. I slip them on whenever I go running around. I took them on a recent trip that included lots of walking. They were great and I didn't have to worry about them slipping off.
from Paradise, CA on 5/19/2008
excellent shoe. Love the color.
from Port Charlotte, Florida on 5/14/2008
Just love my Keen sandals. Having trouble with my ankle. These shoes offer more confort and stability than the orthortics I purchased from my podistrist. Will wear them daily.
from east coast on 5/13/2008
i live and walk in a major city. wearing them all day and walking 3 to 5 miles i can attest to their comfort.
from Columbus on 5/9/2008
Love these shoes and probably will buy another pair in green. Keen shoes are great mix of comfort, function and "attitude". I actually look foward to wearing them - they fit in perfectly with my lifestyle.
from Lexington, KY on 5/7/2008
Incredibly comfortable
from Riverside, CA on 5/6/2008
I do craft shows, and am on my feet all day. These great shoes keep my feet comfortable, protected from heavy objects that I lift, and generally keep my back free of pain!
from KY on 5/6/2008
These shoes are so comfortable and practical!!! LOVE THEM!!!
from Halfway, OR on 5/6/2008
I have bad feet and ankles and after spending many hours on my feet, they hurt. When I wear the Keen sandals, I don't have this problem and when I am not wearing them and my feet, I can put on the Keens and the pain goes away. I will not even consider buying shoes that are not Keen.
from Cherry Hill, NJ on 4/27/2008
Ok, so possessing hard to fit feet, and having lived in Birkenstocks & Nikes for the past 10 years, primarily, I wanted a sandal that I could wear while officiating bike races. We sometimes find ourselves in a variety of terrain: rocky hillsides to muddy pastures to rain drenched or sun baked asphalt. My usual sandals were not secure enough to be able to run in the event of an emergency and still support and protect my feet all day, and failed in that once they got muddy or wet, they were ruined. Same thing with the sneakers.. Sneakers could handle most of the demands but had trouble still looking wearable for a day at the gym. These sandals are totally washable! I can putter in the garden in these to my hearts content, and hose em down when Im done. Besides, my feet like air - my toes are as early as crocus in the spring! Now my toes are protected, and still well ventilated. The fit is great. They're very comfy and durable. No breaking in required. This sandal fits all my summertime working requirements, and they're great for just hanging around too.
from Michigan on 4/27/2008
These are a great shoe. I loved them so much that I had to buy them for the entire family!!
from Modesto. Ca on 4/14/2008
I love these shoes. They are beautiful and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!! I have screws and wires in my feet and it's very hard to find a cute comfortable shoe. I've now found them in Keens. I wear only Keens. I own 6 pairs in different colors and will continue to buy them until I have every color!! In the winter I wear socks with them. When they get dirty just toss them in the washer machine and let them dry overnight!!
Robin from Modesto
I received these early this afternoon and put them on right out of the box. I walked around the house for a few moments and they felt great. I then headed outside with the dogs, walked on stones and rocks, cooked dinner, and they fit perfectly and they're so cushy when you walk, makes my sore heel feel great! They have really good arch support and the fit was a perfect 11. Love the color! I'm looking forward on wearing throughout out trip to Norway next month. I'm a fan for life!!!
from corn belt Indiana on 4/6/2008
Very comfortable, sporty shoe that you can walk in all day long. I also like Birkenstock and Mephisto shoes. Good value for the price. I had bought my husband a pair of Keens on vacation last year and he loves them. So I bought him another pair to take on vacation this year and myself a pair to try. I love them too, no wonder he wore them on all his off hours from work.
from new york, ny on 3/20/2008
great looking shoe. i haven't had a chance to really wear it outside yet since it is still winter here but as soon as they arrived, i slipped them on and wore it around the house. i must say, they are really cool looking shoes. i like the color best. also i do not like to show off my toes so these shoes work for me. i like the traction and the width is perfect. after reading other reviews about the sizing, i ordered 1 and a half size larger then what i normally wear. perfect fit! i can't wait to run my errand and show them off this summer. these will replace my old tevas.

from Chicago on 3/17/2008
The Keen Venice is by far my favorite Keen shoe - and I have many. Have purchased the Newport, but it is tighter in the instep. If you tend to have a high instep, go with the Venice. Have used this shoe for hiking, long walks, many days in the Disney parks, even shopping. I use it as an everyday shoe too. Comfort can't be beat. Have had many compliments on them too. The taupe/aqua is a great color! I have found the Venice runs true to size. Not always true of even Keen. I still feel the price is high, [...]
from Solomons, MD on 3/15/2008
I absolutely love these shoes! I'm a sailing instructor, and wore my Keen Newport's all last season. The Venice H2's looked much more open and cool, especially the new taupe/mineral blue - first I've seen without the black bottoms. I wore them every day for a 3 week sailing trip in Antigua - t
