Customer Reviews KEEN Venice

I purchased this sandal on a recommendation from Keen. I wear Keen Voyageur shoes and they fit my wide foot perfectly. So I wanted to try to find a comparable Keen sandal. Since so many of them are available, customer service recommended that I try Venice. I wear a 6.5 so I sized up to a 7. The size 7 fit well especially in the arch. This sandal offers a wide base, however, if you have a high volume foot, there may not be enough depth. I adjusted the sandal to accommodate my high instep by loosening the elastic closure. This worked for me. The features that I like in the Venice is the fact that the straps are leather and very soft and comfortable on the foot. I sometimes wear thin socks with these sandals but find that they are fine with bare feet. They also have some 'give' to them after you have worn them around a bit. I am very pleased with this sandal. It is rugged for outdoor wear but still comfortable and stylish. I really like Keen's trademark rubber toe. It is a unique feature that has been copied but Keen's is still the best. If you have a C width foot, you might want to try this sandal. If you wear half sizes, I recommend trying both your regular size and a half size up.

As always, Zappos is the best service and Keens are the best shoe. My feet call out for them every morning. "Wear me to work!" These shoes are true to size and the foot bed is supportive. I ordered the purple, but don't be fooled if you are a purple fan, you will have to imagine the purple. They do go with everything I own, but they are very subtle on the purple - I would classify it as mauve lining. A great shoe in any color.

They are perfect! They have enough support for me to wear them all day; they're cool and lightweight. They fit to size.

This is my 2nd pair of Keens. Love them! This style is a little narrower and a tad shorter than the Venice H2 - actually a better fit for my narrow foot. When these wear out, I will be buying another pair! From Zappos of course! Can't beat their shipping and service!

I have been wearing the Keen "Venice" for years and they are the most comfortable walking and hiking sandal I have ever worn. I had foot surgery two years ago and they were the only shoes I could wear for a while after surgery.

These sandals are great. Comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear between an 8.5 and a 9, so I ordered the 9. The fit is pretty perfect. The heel does slip on me a little. Since it is soft, no blisters or anything to worry about. I wore them bike riding and for walking around town without any issues. Love that they are machine washable. Keen offers free replacement on the bungee laces which is super awesome.

Perfect fit for my wider foot as described in reviews I'd read, good support without much weight. I initially ordered a 9.5 as reviews said to order half size up but this proved to be bad advice for me. The 9.5 slipped with each step. Zappos exchanged for my usual 9 with lightning speed. They fit like a glove & no rubbing.

I love these sandals! These were perfect right out of the box. I've learned through trial and error that my feet prefer the "metatomical footbed." Keen has 2 footbeds (both very good) and the metatomical offers greater support. These feel surprisingly lightweight, even lighter than the Venice H20 I've had for 2 years.

I have worn these sandals since Keen came out with them. This is the first pair that has felt 1/2 size smaller. I compared them to my last pair and indeed they are!

My favorite sandal. Offers great support and cushy comfort - have worn it weeks at a time while traveling.

Love these shoes. Super comfortable and great for walking. I found them to be true to size. Been wearing a size 8 for over 40 years and mine fit perfectly.

These shoes are so comfortable. I wasn't sure if I would be able to wear them as I have narrow feet and usually wear a AA. The elastic pull will loosen or tighten. The arch support is great as well. My feet don't tire after a lot of walking.

I wore these shoes right out of the box to walk around New York City. They were very cushiony and my heel that has plantar fasciitis did not hurt at all. I have a narrow foot and they were not overly wide and clumsy and the tie adjustment works well to adjust the width. I liked that they were nubuck and better for wearing in the Fall.

I love these shoes! This is my third pair. I walk dogs for a living & need something that is not only comfortable for a lot of walking but also cooler than sneakers. These are perfect. They protect my feet yet let plenty of air in. They do run a little small so I always buy 1/2 size up from what I normally wear & they fit perfect. I like all the different colors & styles of this type shoe too. I will be buying more in the future.

I was told Keen shoes run small. My feet are narrow so I ordered my true size and they fit perfect. I absolutely love them. Very comfortable. Wore them all day the first day!

These are super comfortable. They are solid. They are good for my high arches. I preferred the less fabric look of these to the Newports. I broke them in at Yosemite. The only thing to note is the obvious: since they are not air tight little rocks get in. That is annoying, but it is the nature of sandals on a pebbly path.

These shoes are very comfortable. They run wide but not to the point that you have to order a different size. They are bulky looking so I just wear them for working outside.

Love, Love, Love these shoes! As my friend promised, they are terrific. They dry fast, feel like a sneaker but breath like a sandal.

Loved this shoe but unfortunatly I have a high instep and the top of the shoe put just enough pressure on top to make them uncomfortable. Also, my foot is a tad wide tho I usually wear an 8B in all shoes (except Keen). I tried the Newports first and loved them too but they were slightly narrow. The Venice runs wider and would have worked in the width. Too bad I couldn't use either style.

After years of noticing most of my friend's wearing keens and being happy I finally bought a pair years ago. I fell in love! After a short wear in period they are so comfortable! I wear my sandals all year long in the midwest. I walk to work in them everyday. It seems like a lot to spend on a pair of shoes (at least it did to me at first), but they last and last and are super easy on my feet. This is my 2nd pair, not because my first has worn out but just because I relegated them to the river this year and need nicer ones for work.

Absolutely great shoe. Fewer straps, making it cooler, and lighter weight than most of the other Keen sandals. Not too light, not too heavy...just right! Also, the sage color is great because it goes with everything. I can't think of one thing to improve the shoe.

I love this shoe. Disappointed as it is 1/2 size smaller and the foot bed more wide than the Keen/Whisper. Thank you Zappos for such quick delivery and your customer service.

I really wanted to keep this shoe. I love it, but compared to the Whisper Keen, it was smaller and wider. I am really disappointed.

I have flat, somewhat narrow feet and though these fit true to size in length they were too wide for me.
