A Keen Shoe That Fits a Wide Foot!
I have a wide foot, high instep, narrow heel. It's tough finding shoes - athletic, casual, or dress - that fit me in all three of these areas. I tried on many styles of Keen shoes, and this one fit just right - in a medium width, too. The part of the shoe that has the lace holes doesnt connect at the throat, so I can pull the tongue out almost all the way to the toe. This makes it easy to get the shoes on, and also allows some give for a wider-width foot. The style is reminiscent of Converse shoes, a nice simple style. The shoes come with two sets of laces, one matches the color of the shoe and the other matches the trim. The only drawback is that there is almost no arch support (hence only 4 stars), but I wear my thinner pair of orthotics over the insole. I probably could wear my thicker pair without the insole, but I like some cushioning in the shoe.

Unexpected hit!
I have bunions and always hard-to-fit feet. When these shoes came, I thought: no way. HOWEVER, my kids encouraged me to try them AND they jumped to the top of the heap. They were the only pair of the 4 I ordered that fit. In the end, I wore them 2 days straight, no prob!

Ventura's a gem -
I'd been looking for a "dressier" sports shoe to go with jeans and a sweatshirt. Found it! The suede dresses it up (I chose the sand color) and they are well-made and solid. In design they are a wide shoe, but I need that because of foot problems. People have stopped me and said that they're "cute" and I feel like they make my foot look smaller because of their width. I recommend them highly!

Love this shoe! There is no arch support but I bought an insole insert that solved the problem.

One cute sneaker -
I love this shoe! It has the sneaker look that I like but is more sturdier than the basic Converse sneaker. It just feels more durable. I was mindful about the lack of arch support commented on by other reviewers, but it didn't seem to be an issue for me with this shoe. I did add a little extra cushion via Dr. Scholl's comfort insoles which I add to most of my shoes for extra comfort. You may not need it for this shoe, I just like to add it for myself. The fit was perfect, with other Keen shoes I order a half size larger, but based on other reviews, I ordered this shoe in my normal size 9, and it is a perfect fit. Zappos was great, delivered faster than I expected! All in all, if you want a cute, sturdy sneaker, this is the one. Thanks Keen and Zappos!

Cute but too big -
These shoes are so cute but they were huge! I usually wear a 7 1/2 in every shoe. But when I got these and tried them on, I would say they felt almost a full size bigger! I am going to return them and get a size 7, I think.

Retro/Funky Style -
I'm enjoying these shoes. Have walked a few miles of sidewalks with no problems. Doesn't have a lot of arch or other support but are fine for me. No complaints and some compliments.

For everyday wear it is comfortable and stylish. Keen shoes are very so comfortable you can wear them all day. This shoe goes with jeans or khakis. I highly recommend it.

Love Zappos!! Love Keen!
These shoes are pretty comfortable. It took a few days to get them to feel just right but they are perfect for the weekends. Zappos was great since I had to exchange my shoes the first time. I had them in less than 2 days! Great customer service.

Love Em!
I was looking for a new sneaker for fall - I wanted something in Brown. I'm a big fan of Simple sneakers - but I didn't want the same brand. I own a few pairs of Keen's - and have always loved them, so I thought I would give these a shot. I LOVE THEM!!! I think these are just about the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned (sorry Simple). I love the Coverse-esque style - with the kick-butt Keen sole, and I even love the little pink striping that the brown ones have. I've been wearing these on the weekend, to work, you name it...I'm actually wearing them right now!

I bought the Uggs Kohala to use as slippers for around the house b/c traditional bedroom slippers do not provide the heel and arch support that I need (had even tried the Uggs Coquette). I have always ended up removing my slippers and putting on my Dansko clogs but YUCK, who wants to wear the shoes you trek everywhere in in your house?!?!? After much searching, I found these. Zappos had them at my house one day after I placed my order. I slipped them on as soon as I got them and was quite impressed. They provide the necessary heel lift to alleviate the pressure on my heels spurs and give adequate arch support. Plus, they are attractive and keep my tootsies warm and cozy. Love them; I think I have finally found a 'bedroom slipper' I can wear. Thanks Uggs and thanks Zappos!!!

Wonderful Keen Venturas - I love these shoes and have thought abut buying another pair in a different color soon. Very comfortable from the start and super cute just like the photos online showed. The shipping from Zappos was super great and fast.

Great casual shoe with wonderful Keen quality. I already own a few pair of shoes by Keen, so I am familiar with the comfort and quality they produce. I was actually going to buy a pair of J. Purcells, but decided to give the Ventura a try. I am very pleased with my choice.

Amazing shoes!
The Keen Ventura suede shoe is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes you will wear. Out of all the shoes in my closet (and I have a lot of shoes), I would pick my Keen shoes to wear if I knew I would be walking all day. Not only are they comfortable, but they look cool, too! I found myself looking down at my feet several times throughout the day when I am wearing my Keen shoes. Making a purchase of a pair of Keen shoes is a good investment - your feet will thank you!

Keen Ventura - Fantastically comfortable!!
I have owned the Teva Ventura shoe for less than 48 hours now, and I am very impressed so far! The shoe is very cute, stylish, and extremely comfortable! I bought the "Brindle" color, and it looks like a very light green, which I like. The suede is soft and seems durable. These are my first Keen shoes, and I like them! They are a bit long, but still fit nicely.

Great fit!
These shoes are true to their size. They are so comfortable too - no time needed to break them in. They look great with pants - but not so great with shorts or capris (think clown shoes). These are just as comfortable as my favorite pair of traditional looking sneakers but much cuter!

I love the way the shoe looks! The chocolate brown and the pink is so cute. This is my first pair of Keens and I am happy with the fit. Good cushioning. The arch isn't that supportive (I'm used to Danskos) yet I wore them all day at school (I teach) and my feet felt great! I would say for me that the shoe was true to size. The students and staff gave me many compliments on how cute they were too!

I am a big fan of Keen shoes and the Venturas do not disappoint. The look is fab and causal. I love that they have a "sneaker" look while still giving the great support that Keen is so well known for. I would highly recommend these shoes!

Love them, but...
I should have bought a half size larger. As with a lot of people, I have one foot larger than the other and the right shoe rubs on my heel - my fault, I should have sent them back for a bigger size. And they don't have any arch support, so they are worn by me mostly for looks. My least favorite pair of Keens as far as comfort, but I have MANY pairs of Keens and I wear them all the time and love them all!

 |  | I have to tell you how happy your shipping upgrade made my daughter. Having a large foot, she often has trouble finding a specific shoe. She has been looking for fun printed size 11 rainboots since Christmas and found them on Zappos. She was really excited when I ordered them, and soooo happy when they arrived THE NEXT DAY!!! She was completely surprised to see them already, and it *really* made her day. Sometimes the little things do make a difference. I didn't want it to go unappreciated.
