I love these shoes! I am partial to Keen's anyway, but this is probably my favorite pair. I bought one pair three years ago for working on a sailboat. These make great boat shoes. I just bought a new pair because I spend most of the summer walking around Boston and wanted a pair of shoes that are comfortable to walk in but still look put together with shorts or even a casual dress. I'm happy to say that my new pair did not disappoint! Cute, comfortable, and classic!

Love, love, love these shoes. I got them in the fall, but didn’t wear them much over the winter and now am wearing nearly nothing else. I walk a lot and they are supportive, not too heavy, comfy, and all around wonderful. I may get another in a different color.

Love these shoes! I’m between a 7.5 and 8... the 8s fit better. I have arthritis in my feet and they’re comfortable, even when standing for long periods or walking. My feet are also wide and the Venturas fit perfectly. Trying to find them in off-white, but not having any luck so far!

Solid Sneaker - Great shoe. Very sturdy and supportive (though I wear arch inserts in all of my shoes). Fits roomy and comfortably (nothing rubbing) and is wearing well so far.

I recently purchased these boots in charcoal grey (Nubuck), and I am in love with them!! They are very comfortable, and they look great with skirts and pants. A previous reviewer here said that she normally wears a size 8, but she bought an 8.5 in order to fit her orthotics in them. Because I wear orthotics, I went with the 8.5 instead of the 8 as well, and they fit perfectly!! The only problem I have with these boots is that the boot legs are a bit too small for me. I measured the widest part of my calf at 15", and the website description says these shoes have a 16" circumference at their widest point. But I couldn't get the last 4" of my boot to zip up. (I needed about an extra inch of material to get all the way around my leg.) I was going to send these boots back in defeat, but then I came up with an idea. I scrunched the boot leg down just enough to get it zipped up, and then I pulled them back up as high as I could. They are still a bit scrunched, but I think it looks intentional and kind of cool. So, for those of you who have similar sized calves as me, but are determined to wear these boots no matter what, you may have to scrunch down the bootleg a bit in order to wear them. But please, please keep in mind that this could cause some permanent wrinkles and creases in the material, whether you go with the leather or the Nubuck. So definitely make sure you are okay with that before you decide to try it.

Adorable Shoes, Great Color - Despite my husband's jesting comment that these shoes are "Bozo-esque" (clown shoes), I think they're cute and very comfortable. The orange color seems brighter than pictured (at least on my screen) and an extra pair of white laces is included.

They're OK - I bought the Keen Ventura because I thought it might make a good walking shoe, but while I can walk around in them, I wouldn't do so for any great distances. They have absolutely no arch support. They look alright though. They make my size 10.5/11 feet look shorter (Note: they are a half size larger than marked). However, they also make my narrow feet look wider, but I can live with that. I think they might accommodate orthotics, so I guess I'll try to get some to deal with the hard footbeds and the lack of arch support. They also came with a spare pair of laces in another color to mix things up. Overall, not too shabby.

Funky Shoes - These are remarkably comfortable and cool, as in the temperature. They are a tad odd looking, but that is all a matter of taste. I love the fact that there are no dead animal parts on them.

As a nurse I am on my feet A LOT and I need a shoe that will support and work with me, and this shoe is it. Keens are the most comfortable and supportive shoe I have ever worn, at the end of 14 hours I do not even realize I am wearing shoes. They are cute, comfortable and supportive, which is not an easy combination to find. I love them and recommend them to all my co-workers. I am so glad I discovered Zappos and Keens, both have made my life so much easier!

Keen Ventura - These shoes are comfortable and look really nice on. I am totally sold on Keen. I did have to return them and order a 1/2 size up, though. Zappos is so great to work with. They made the exchange easy.

Comfort shoe?? Not really - I bought this shoe after reading several positive reviews. Much to my disappointment, I found it to be the one of the most uncomfortable pairs I own. After the first wearing, I was left with two huge red welts on my right foot where two areas of the seam almost rubbed my foot raw. (And this was while wearing socks.) These shoes were a huge waste of money, as I will probably never wear them again, and I will certainly stay away from the Keen brand.

RELIABLE & FUN - As always, a Keen shoe that fits true to size and made very well. The canvas body makes this shoe lighter than other Keens. I love these.

Very comfy - I wear orthotics and they fit easily inside these shoes. I love Keens. Once I put them on, I don't want to take them off!

Standing all day - I really like these shoes for the toe room. They had to have a couple days break in, but now they are great. They don't rub my ankles and gave me no blisters. They are cool and lightweight and I can stand at my job all day and they don't pinch or squeeze...I forget to take them off when I get home they are so comfy. The only draw back is that a little more arch support would be nice, but there's enough room for added support if I need it.

Flamingo Keen Ventura - They are great shoes! Neat color, comfortable. I can work in them all day without a problem. The pair I ordered from Zappos was for my daughter - same color. She loves them. Her problem was finding her size - a 6. I was really glad to be able to get the last pair from Zappos for her because she wanted them so badly. They go with so many colors & are just the right "pop" of color. I don't know about orthotics capabilities.

Cool Sneakers - Typical Keen fit. I had to order a 1/2 size down. They are very comfy. Wide shoe with lots of toe room. Still not sure if I will keep them. They look very wide on my feet and I tend towards skinny jeans which makes them appear wider. But they are comfy and the colors so cool.

Ventura's Pure Keen - Very comfortable and cute! As long as you wear some sort of sock, feet stay dry and cool.
