Customer Reviews KEEN Venice

These shoes are great. I did have to wear socks with them for two days as one of the straps irritated my foot in a peculiar way, but now they\'re perfect and I wouldn\'t give them up for anything! I had them splashing around in a fountain yesterday and they were immediately comfortable to wear away from the water. None of the sploshing or slipping like regular sandals would do. I walked home in them wet and they were still completely comfortable.

Born with "flat as boards feet" comfortable, reliable footwear has always been a huge challenge. A co-worker told me about Keens. Skeptical, I tried on a pair at a local sports shop and was very surprised. On my feet 10 hours each working day, requires a shoe that can hold its own, Keens more than meet my exacting requirements! Comfort and style, what a bargain! Even better when my next pair came from Zappos, no shipping fees! Fast, professional service! Just what I desire from a company! Thanks!

I bought these for a trip to Israel and they served me very well. I have a small but very wide foot with a high arch. They morphed to my feet. Although they are heavy shoes, they kept me going from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, etc. Love them!

These sandals have turned out to be just the ticket for living in a big city where it rains during the warm season. So many sandals get ruined by rain or puddles, and yet it's too warm to wear anything else in summer. No more worries with these sturdy, comfortable, waterproof sandals. And, the Venice style in the dark red/rust color is, in my view, getting closer to what someone living in a city might want in a sandal. Be warned that Keens tend to run a 1/2 size small. They tell you this in shoe stores.

I love my first pair of Keens Venice. Going to Hawaii to visit son in Navy and want a great all-around shoe. Tried the Newport, but it didn't fit my foot so tried the Venice and I love it. Very comfortable, no break-in period. Good support, good looking, tough but soft. I wear 7.5 - 8 and the 8 is perfect. I will buy more! Love Zappos service and quick shipping! Thanks! (and it's free)

Wore these on a walking tour of Rome, Venice, and the small hilltowns of Tuscany. . . as promised, not blisters, and no "breaking in" period needed. That said, there is not a lot of foot-bed support and the result is feet that while protected from above -- and sides -- felt pretty worn by the end of the day.\r\nMy solution was to alternate with my Chaco sandals which have amazing cushy and cloud-like footbeds -- but Chacos have straps that can feel irritating after a few hours. There was no irritation, chafing or rubbing with these Keens.\r\nThey were cool even during the hottest afternoons. They stayed secure even on cobble-stoned hikes upwards. They were fine on nature trails. But boy, the bottom of my foot felt like it could have used some support by the end of the day.\r\nIn an ideal world both these manufacturers could learn a lesson from each other. Wish there was a hybrid of the two Keen + Merrell.\r\nBottom line:\r\nI am glad I bought these.\r\n I feel they are worth the price. Even after my trip I find myself wearing the Keens in circumstances where I would have worn either flip-flops or merrells (which are not made the same now that they have Wolverine ownership.)\r\nOn the airplane I slipped some socks on when no one was looking and they managed to feel comfortable. Not too tight.\r\nAs other participants have mentioned, these do run small. I am an extremely wide 10 and I ordered a 10 1/2 and it was a nice fit.

First, let me say that I am a huge Keen fan. This is the 6th pair of Keen shoes I have purchased. I wanted something for the summer that would give me the great Keen support, but still be breezy. (During a recent trip to Vermont it seemed that everyone had a variation of these shoes, so of course as soon as I could get to a computer, I ordered a pair.) They are great fitting, comfortable; not exactly a sandal, but the next best thing.

These are great shoes - comfortable right out of the box. great support and wonderful in water as well as on pavement

I love these shoes! From the first time I put them on, they have been nothing but comfortable and awesome! No blisters, which I frequently get from new shoes. Buy them! They are great!

Super comfortable shoes! Lots of support, keep feet protected from air conditioning "drafts", but great for walking long distances in heat; feet stay cool.

I knew they were right as soon as I put them on! I seem to do best with the "classic" Keen style. I took note from other reviews and did order a half size larger, which was perfect. My only gripe about Keen shoes are that all my Keens (I own 5) are different styles and different sizes.

They feel great as soon as you put them on! Due to reviews I read I went a half size up. Thanks for the heads up.

I have fairly painful problems with my feet. These shoes have been the most comfortable I\'ve worn. This includes shoes with orthotics specifically designed for my foot problems. Thank you!

This is an extremely comfortable shoe! I can't wear flip flops or shoes without some type of arch support and these shoes fit the bill. They are great with shorts and for running errands such as walking the dog or walking around the city all day.

The Keen Venice is great for a wide width and one who prefers a solid arch in their shoe. I can get away with wearing these instead of my other shoes plus orthodics. I have two pairs of these, sage and black, and love them both. They're great for long walking distances and did not require a breaking in period. Another plus, they look great with capris, shorts, and some jeans.

I love Keen so I love this sandal immediately. It is very comfy and I don\'t have anything to add anymore to what has been written great things about Keen.\r\nAbout Zappos, I have all praises for Zappos. Always more than what I expected.

First pair of Keens. These are wonderful! Like walking on little pillows. Get 1/2 size larger than your regular shoe size, though; you'll be much more comfortable.

I love these shoes. They have turned into my beach shoes this summer and are proving to be quite comfortable. I don\'t like walking barefoot on our beaches as they are very rocky and it bothers my feet. These shoes have helped with that problem. Keen is a great brand.

I absolutely love these shoes! This was my first pair of Keen's and will be the only brand for me and my family in the future. I camp and fish a lot so I need a shoe that I can comfortably hike and bike in and go straight into the water for fishing and kayaking. This shoe does it all and is very comfortable. I have arthritis in my foot and when I wear these shoes it does not bother me at all. The fit is pretty true to size. I wear a 6 or 6.5 and I ordered a 6.5 based on the recommendations of the other reviewers and they fit great. My foot is also on the wider side and these are great.

Great shoe, great service. My elderly mother in law buys from Zappos, too. They are terrific. The shoes came in no time and were perfect. So comfortable with great support. I love them!

These are the best sandals ever! They fit true to size, The only difference in size is that they are on the wide side. This is a great comfortable shoe. Great for walking, sightseeing. I am a flip flop girl but I find myself choosing these because they are very comfortable but also give your foot support.
