Customer Reviews KEEN Venice

I use these sandals for everything. I even hike in them. I hate wearing shoes, and most hiking shoes and boots just feel too restrictive for me. I love how durable and protective these sandals are, while still having adequate ventilation and allowing me to forgo socks. The only downside I can think of is the odd tan-lines I get from wearing them in the summer. This is a small price to pay for the comfortable and versatile shoes I own.

These are so comfy and cute! So excited to have a cute, casual shoe that I can wear all day long!

The Venice is a Great shoe. I have been wearing it for 5-6 years and it outperforms all other shoes. I can wear it as a sandal in spring and summer and add socks for Fall and winter. The arch support is great in this shoe, if you have a high arch need that support.

These are perfect for our upcoming trip to Cuba to fish. We will wade and need to have shoes with toe protection. My feet are a little wide and I have a small bunion on one foot. These are adjustable enough to be completely comfortable and will be great in the water while also comfortable for sight-seeing.

Writing this review with fingers crossed, because I haven't yet worn them in bare feet except for just a moment. I bought these in exchange for the Keen Newport H2 sandal, which was unattractive and rough inside. The Venice, however, has more support, is more flattering, and has a soft lining. The Dark Earth/Caribbean color is surprisingly feminine. I think I'm going to love them.

Very comfortable sandal that is versatile. Used for a recent trip where did lots of walking and needed water proof sandals for crossing water. Worked great! Like the toe protection...protects my feet well.

My mom actually bought these for herself, but decided they were too big for her, so she gave them to me (our feet are about the same). I wasn't sure they would have enough arch support for me, but I wore these for walks and then for an all day at a very large state fair, and found that overall my entire body wasn't as sore and tired as they normally get from these kinds of activities. My feet felt great, even my hips and back felt better than usual...so definitely want to try some other keens and will be replacing these when they get worn out.

These are the most comfortable Keens! I've had the Keen whispers before and the back stretches out so my heel started to hang over. The Venice are a replacement pair and they fit wonderfully, have a nice soft lining, and the leather straps are really soft and nice. Highly recommend!

I've worn Keen shoes for years. Love the Venice style and fit, but the color is more green than it appears in the photo.

Very happy with my purchase. I've always liked Keen's water shoes. I love the color of these (amber blue) and they are comfortable. Fit true to size, as well. They also seem to dry quickly which is good and the color stays true.

feel good right from the first time you put them on

I read a lot of information about the sizing of Keen sandals. Many people stated they had to order a half size larger. In my case, I am a true size 10 but have to have a size 9.5. I found my feet were swimming in a 10. On further inspection I noticed they have European sizing on them as well and a 9.5 is a 40 in UK sizing. This is what I wear in Birkenstocks and Dansko's. Overall these sandals are very comfortable. I have problem feet and have to have decent shoes. I was looking for something waterproof since my beloved Birkenstocks are not. I will say these run a tad narrow. Thankfully I have neither narrow or wide feet, so in that regard they fit well.

Love this shoe...super well made - comfortable - great looking...everyone who sees them asks about them and thinks they're great.

I have wide feet and was not sure these would fit, but since there appear to be no hiking sandals that come in a wide width, I decided to try them. I'm happy to say that they fit my wide feet quite comfortably. I ordered the Mineral Blue, and when I got them, I had to double-check that Zappos sent me the right color: looking at them, they appear decidedly green, not blue. Given that they're clown shoes anyway, and not fit for anything but the outdoors, the color is not a big deal. The soles have the right mix of support and flexibility, and the uppers that come into contact with my feet don't rub anywhere. Overall, I am happy with this shoe and I recommend it.

These are amazingly comfortable shoes! The open design allows for a cool yet protective shoe for many summer activities. Also love the colors (bought them in aqua too) and they are light as a feather on my feet.

I purchased these after getting a pair of the Venice H2's. They are both great but I prefer the Venice pair much more. They were instantly comfortable. I haven't had a shoe that felt so good the first time I put them on. I don't think that I will ever wear another pair of shoes during the hot summer months. I am so glad I found these.

These are great shoes! I purchased them without an opportunity to try them on and was amazed that they fit and are comfortable for my finicky feet. These shoes are very sturdy and provide sure-footed support The foot bed has a nice high arch and the toe protection is much appreciated. I read lots of reviews before purchasing and did order 1/2 size larger and am glad I did. The toe box is very generous and even my wide feet do not touch or rub. Thanks, Zappos! These are just what I was hoping for. As an aside, I have seen lots of questions regarding the difference between this shoe and the Venice H2. This shoe has leather uppers (with a nice comfy lining), the H2 uppers are polyester webbing.

Love these sandals. I found them comfortable right out of the box. Haven't worn them for a long period yet, but I have a feeling they will be great. I have tried Keens in the past but had to return them as the size wasn't quite right. These are true to size and fit well.

I really love the look of the sandal. The only problem I have is that Keen has changed the shoe sizes before and I had to exchange one size for another. I ordered two pair this time, and one of the sizes fit. I love them! I recommend these for anyone, especially those with high arches.

I've owned a pair of these Keen Venice shoes for about 10 years and love them. I usually wear them with socks hiking around trails in the Northwest and as long as it isn't super muddy or sandy, they are my go to shoes. I was so happy to see they have the exact same style available so I just bought another pair since my old ones were starting to look a little worn but not worn out. They are a little heftier than other styles of Keens, but my foot feel secure in them. I would recommend them to anyone. They aren't "pretty" but I'm after comfort and usability.

I have many Keens, but it has been about 10 years since I got my last pair of the waterproof sandals. Last time I had the Newport. The Keen Venice is better than my Newports were. The heel feels like it sits higher and it makes my bad knee feel just perfect. The shock absorption is great, which also helps my knee that has cartilage damage. The Neoprene that is under the leather is very soft. I had tried the Keen Venice H2, which is essentially the same shoe, but the H2 has a cloth/nylon material over the neoprene, while the Venice has leather. I could feel that the Venice was a bit less breathable in those leather parts, but I liked how this looked so much. I am so happy with these! Oh, and on the Keens, I always find they run a half size small.

Great shoe! Fit like a glove with support and comfort. Hiked many mountain miles in them and walks on the beach. Just ordered my second pair after two years of wearing first pair out.

I love these shoes! I have only had these shoes for one day so I cannot say too much about durability or long term things. What I do love about them is that they have a nice wide toe box to accommodate my bunions. They are comfortable and have good arch support. I bought them for moderate hiking in the summer so that I have enough support and enough ventilation so my feet do not get too hot. I am pleased with them so far.

Loved this shoe, it's comfort, arch and heel support, but it's a half size too small, despite the fact I have NEVER ordered a 10 1/2. Reordering, but ordering the Venice 2 in 10 1/2. Received today and it appears to fit beautifully.

Happy, happy, happy with these sandals! I wear orthotics in my shoes and don't need them with these sandals because they already have a good arch support and the ability to tighten for a better fit. I've worn them straight out of the box (no break in time) for a week now without problems.
