Disappointed -
I thought I loved Keens. Now I don't. This shoe did not hold up well in areas I didn't know could fail. The inner lining ripped away by the heel so now I squeak when I walk. The cream color outer rubber area must have had extra glue on it because it has this yellow discoloration that is quite ugly. I've had them for 6 months and these flaws began to show up only about 2 months into my wearing them. When I first saw them, I fell in love with their looks and just tried to remind myself that I love my other Keens. So I kept them even though they never felt great. Now I have a replacement pair of shoes, not Keens, so these will be off my feet permanently.

Adorable sneaker! Yet another pair of Keens that I had been coveting for MANY months, LOL. I am very glad that I bought them. I had to go with the black as that was the only color available in my size, not my first (or second) choice, but it is nice IRL. Very comfortable and true to size compared to other Keen shoes that are medium to wide in style. The heel seems like it might rub your heel a bit the first couple of wears. Love Zappos free shipping and returns!

Awesome shoe -
Felt perfect right out of the box and it's super cute, too. I'm right on the border of 9.5 and 10 and the 9.5 fit just right--likely because it has a nice wide footbed. No digging into my heels like many shoes do either.

Keen Ventura Suede - Great Shoe!
I have received compliments on these shoes from elementary school aged kids to adults! The shoes will accommodate custom orthotics and are very comfortable. They are a good light weight sneaker, not as rugged as my Keen Briggs, but they are obviously designed to be similar to canvas sneakers and not rugged shoes.

So Comfortable -
I am on my feet all day and these are the most comfortable shoes I have found. Other shoes make my feet hurt by noon. These were just great. Reasonably priced too!

My second pair!
I love these. Well, I adore Jack Purcell sneaks but they are just too narrow for me. These are a great alternative. I bought some in green and just got the black ones. Really cute and sturdy and surprisingly stain resistant. Orthodics work well in these shoes.

"Those are the ugliest/cute shoes ever!"
I have had lots of compliments on these shoes. I do agree that the back of the shoe cuts in a little on your heel and that there isn't much arch support, but there is ample room in the toe area and I really like that, since I have wide feet. Overall, I recommend these and am looking forward to new colors and styles from Keen.

I got these shoes and they were much too wide for my foot. Almost all of my shoes are 6.5 or 7 but these looked like they were a 1/2 to 1 size too big for my foot. Largely uncomfortable, straps were inadequate, and the sole has zero traction. I almost fell in the kitchen as I was trying to put these on! Returned them and am now looking for a better pair.

Looks outweigh comfort -
These shoes look great on your feet, but wear sport socks if you want to be comfortable! There is little to no arch support and even though the fit is fine, my tops of my toes rub the inside of the shoe causing a blister. These shoes should be worn for show and not for long distance walking. Perhaps they will conform to my feet after further wear. They are indeed cute in black suede.

Fun and Casual -
I have wanted a pair of Keens for the past couple of years, but could never bring myself to spending that much money on one pair of shoes. I am a huge bargain shopper and very seldom will I spend more than $25.00 for a pair of any kind of shoes. However I had to have some Keens. I bit the bullet and bought two pair!!! I absolutely love them. I bought the Ventura and the Portola. The first time I tried them on and walked around my house I was a little worried that I did the wrong thing. They both fit so differently from each other and completely different from any other shoes I have had. After about 30 minutes (yes just 30, no break in time at all) I absolutely loved them both. They are both true to size and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting at all. I will most definitely have more Keens in my future!!!

Love them so much, I bought two pairs -
I'm always looking for a fun pair of sneakers that are comfortable and funky. These Keen's are great. I'm on my feet a lot and they work well all through the day. I liked the style so much that I bought a second pair to put away. They come with two pairs of laces (dark and light) so that you can change the look when you want or if the laces get dirty. I've been a Keen lover for awhile and these just keep the love affair going.

I ordered them on a Friday and they came on Monday. I tried them on and they fit! I run between 8 and 8.5, so I ordered the 8s. These shoes are unique in that the tongue is attached to the rest of the shoe, so they were a little weird to put on the first time. Yay Zappos!

Nice-Looking Shoe But That's It -
This is a really great-looking and unique shoe, but if you have leg, foot, or back problems--avoid this pair. It's not light-weight since the rubber all around adds to its bulkiness and I also had to add inserts for lack of arch support. It's okay for a light walk, but that's it. It also seems to run a little small so I suggest ordering a 1/2 size larger. There's also a lump or mis-sewn segments near the buttonholes that really hurt.
