Keen Venice SKU: #7630090

I have had a bunionectomy, heel spur removed, arthritis, and hammer toes. Finding shoes that I can walk in with comfort is a continuing challenge. These shoes are the best shoes I have found for walking in a number of different situations. If I wear black socks, it's not obvious that they are river sandals, and I am sure I'd love them when I'm rafting - some toe protection is good for river or outdoor walking situations. I have another pair I've had for 3 years and they hardly look worn. SO if the price is a concern, just realize that they'll last a long time.

Bought these for a recent trip to Costa Rica and was so glad I did. From relaxing at the beach to hiking in the mountains, these were the only shoes I needed. And aside from some initial chafing (which was not enough to cause an actual blister), they were extremely comfortable. While not the most stylish, I would highly recommend these as a versatile, comfortable sandal that is perfect for traveling.

I own a pair of Keen boots that have held up well, so when I needed a pair of hiking sandals I thought I'd give Keen another try. I ordered a half size smaller than my boots, which was perfect. They required no breaking in period and have taken me all over New Zealand without a second's discomfort. While the style is so-so, they earn full points for function and comfort. I'll probably be wearing Keen for the rest of my life.

I ordered these shoes especially for a recent trip to Costa Rica; they were great. Because I was traveling on a small plane with a weight limit on my luggage, these lightweight sandals were perfect. My vacation featured beaches, dusty roads, and a hike or two in the rain forest; Venice is great because the shoes were comfortable, had a great sole and are waterproof. They easily went from muddy trail to sandy beach and they dried overnight and were ready to go on new adventures each morning. A great vacation shoe for the active traveler.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Wear them for fifteen minutes and they conform to your foot perfectly. Amazing!

I love these shoes. I have wide feet and they fit me well even though they are a medium width. They are very comfortable and I plan to wear them on a trip where we will be walking a lot. The shoes are lightweight, but sturdy. Love 'em.

Order 1/2 size larger than normal if you have a wide foot. I loved these shoes. With no break-in period at all, I wore them for 10 days straight during a trip to Isreal. They served me well and still look great. Keen makes excellent shoes!

This is my fifth pair of Keens, which I wear for everything except dressing up! These are the most comfortable sport sandals on the planet!

Very comfortable, did not require breaking in, even with running. I'm normally a size 7 and the reviews say it feels half a size too small, so I got a 7.5, which was too big. I returned it for a size 7, which was still a little bit too big, but comfortable enough. Because this is an open shoe, my feet tend to get dirty and smelly, but the shoe is easy to clean.

The Keens are fantastic! I have "foot issues" which prevented me from doing my long walks with the dog. These shoes are comfortable and pain-free! I highly recommend!

This is my first pair of rugged-type sandals. The Keen (Venice) sandal fit great the minute I put it on. Having read other reviews of this sandal, I bought it because it ran wider than the other Keen rugged-type sandals. It is wider and fits perfectly. Give yourself a day of walking indoors before you decide that you love them (although they feel much better outdoors on the pavement, path, or sand). Be sure to adjust the fit during your test day with the simple bungee configuration. I adjusted the cord on each shoe several times to get my perfect fit. If the arch feels right, I can almost guarantee that you will get the shoe feeling "right" very quickly. I tried on a size 8 and a 9 locally, and just knew the 8.5 size would fit. Would have shopped locally, but they made it sound like a rather complicated effort to order this shoe in a half-size, in the color I wanted, just for me, as summer is winding down. I would have felt bad if for some reason I did not buy them after they came in. So I ordered what I needed from Zappos with a generous return policy. I wouldn't have to listen to a salesperson pout and worry that they would be "stuck with the shoes" if I did not like them. The Sagey color is nice, a tad lighter green than I expected. I thought maybe it would be more of a dark olive color. However, the color is neutral enough to look nice with any colors and it does not have the harshness of a big black shoe. (I know, it is a bit crazy to think "fashion" when you are putting on a shoe as crazy rugged as this shoe.) I really did purchase this shoe because of a planned trip to the Galapagos Islands; however, I use mine as a walking shoe now. It feels so good and gives so much needed support. The well-packaged box came in two days with a simple, but great return policy and all of the paperwork needed. This was a great shopping experience.

Love these! I use them for biking (cool and protect my toes) and all day outdoor activities. Waterproof and comfy.

These shoes are great. I did have to wear socks with them for two days as one of the straps irritated my foot in a peculiar way, but now they\'re perfect and I wouldn\'t give them up for anything! I had them splashing around in a fountain yesterday and they were immediately comfortable to wear away from the water. None of the sploshing or slipping like regular sandals would do. I walked home in them wet and they were still completely comfortable.

Born with "flat as boards feet" comfortable, reliable footwear has always been a huge challenge. A co-worker told me about Keens. Skeptical, I tried on a pair at a local sports shop and was very surprised. On my feet 10 hours each working day, requires a shoe that can hold its own, Keens more than meet my exacting requirements! Comfort and style, what a bargain! Even better when my next pair came from Zappos, no shipping fees! Fast, professional service! Just what I desire from a company! Thanks!

I bought these for a trip to Israel and they served me very well. I have a small but very wide foot with a high arch. They morphed to my feet. Although they are heavy shoes, they kept me going from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, etc. Love them!

As others have said, these shoes are comfortable from the first time you slip them on and remain comfortable over hours of walking time - no break in period required. I did experience a little chafing from one of the straps on the outside of my foot right at first, but when I adjusted the width of the shoe with the stretchy lacing that goes down the top of the foot, that fixed it. I bought the normal size I buy for all my shoes and it fits perfectly. I have high arches and would have loved a little more arch support but that is my only complaint, and it's a minor one. I have used Tevas in the past for hiking sandals and had terrible problems with them for blisters and chafing at the heels and toes - based on my first few weeks of using the Keens I have every expectation that my feet will fare much better in these over the long haul.

Fantastic! Zappos never fails to amaze me! Saw this shoe about two weeks ago but was out of stock in my size. A few days later I received an e-mail from Zappos that it was back in stock. I ordered at the regular shipping and Zappos upgraded to next day and my new shoes were here in 36 hours. I said if everyone had service as great as this, it would be a perfect world. The shoe is excellent, better looking in person and has a stretch quality that make them so comfortable. Because of the stretch, they work well if your feet swell in heat or just from a long day. When your feet shrink they return to that size. For this reason they would work well with narrower feet also since Keen is good if your feet tend to be on the wide side as mine are. Excellent quality! Got many compliments. I wore them 12 hours the first day with no discomfort at all. I ordered a 7 1/2. I normally wear a 7-7 1/2. With Keens I always order 7 1/2 for a perfect fit. Keen is great and Zappos is great! Thank you!

Awesome shoes. I love my Keens. I do film work and sometimes am on my feet for 16 hours (really). My feet do not hurt when I wear these shoes. They are so supportive and comfy. Sometimes I use them as running shoes. And they're also water shoes. I traipsed up a slippery waterfall in Dominica wearing them. I'm between an 8 1/2 or 9 and the 9 fits perfect. They're not sexy, but aside from that they are the best shoes ever!
