Customer Reviews KEEN Venice

Oddly cute and super comfortable! A great shoe for summer walks, beach adventures, and general strolling. Instantly comfortable, no break-in period needed. Order 1/2 size up.

Just in time! I finally ordered these (along with 4 other pairs of shoes) and they came just in time. This was the pair I knew I was keeping as soon as I put them on! I had been having pain on the outside of my right foot & they arrived the day before I went to the Dr. I ended up getting a cortisone shot in the side of my foot OUCH! I couldn't have imagined wearing any other shoe all day after that. Even went to the county fair & walked around for 3 hours that night. They are truly amazing!

Great water shoe! I really like the pair of Keen Venice shoes that I just purchased. I've taken up kayaking recently and needed a shoe that would a) stay on my feet, b) be comfortable, and c) be able to withstand water. The Keen shoe met all of my requirements! They dry quickly and are super comfortable to wear. The fit was fantastic. They felt comfortable the very first time I put them on. They perform perfectly in water and on land. I definitely recommend them to other people!

Love Keens - This is my third pair of Keens and I got them to go to the beach and out with my daughter. After being on my feet all day they still don’t hurt. I would definitely buy this brand again, and I plan on getting my daughter a pair next year!!

Love my Keen's - They are my favorite summer shoe. I wear them to run errands and to take my dog for a walk on the trail or for a swim. They are easy to get on and off, offer good support and protect my toes!

Great Walking/Water Sandal! I tried a number of other products before finding Keen's Venice. As soon as I stood on them, I knew that this was the sandal that I had been looking for. The only caution is sizing it is 1/2 to 1 size smaller than marked.

My feet are in love! I have these in sagey green (pretty!) and am on the site today to order a pair of the light blue (for formal wear!). I don't usually buy multiple pairs of shoes in this price range, but these are worth every penny. I am hard to fit: extra wide across the toes, narrow heel, high bony instep, high arch, stubby little toes. These shoes fit everything perfectly. I wear a 7 or 7.5 and these were a perfect fit for me in 7.5; seem more true to size for me than others are reporting. My feet are so wide that I don't even cinch the bungees- hopefully narrow footed gals can cinch these up to fit. I've been wearing these for my lunchtime power walks and they work great - no rubbing anywhere, and stable on hilly downtown sidewalks rain or shine. Nice and cool for a hot, humid climate and I've had no smelly soles. Mud hoses right off. I think almost anybody would love these. The perforated leather is beautiful, the comfort is amazing. The look is, well, very sure of itself. My boyfriend loves his Newports, but I love the Venice - at least we don't look like complete dorks when we go out together in our Keens.

Great for Mexico and for boating! The only shoes I took to Mexico. They provided enough support, looked good and covered the toes. The same goes for boating activities back home. They can go in and out of the water with ease. I only wish they had a little more arch support.

Better than I expected! I wore these, almost right out of the box, to a dog agility trial this past weekend. Sure, a little bit of the arena dirt got in to the shoe, but that was no big deal. The shoe was so comfortable and cool. A woman came up and asked me what kind of shoe I was wearing and where I'd gotten them. She, too, wanted an open-air type sport sandal for competitions. Thank you, Zappos! Great service, as usual.

Great support; great comfort - This is my 'go to' footwear! So easy to slide-into; very fine arch support; the 'look' goes well with everything casual. Zappos service is THE BEST; even when the Keen sizing can vary so much...Zappos still ships next day! Excellent customer service!

LOVE These Shoes - I bought these to wear biking because my husband kept admonishing me about wearing sandals to bike. My feet feel suffocated in sneakers. This was the ideal compromise. I have bunions and wide flat feet. These were ideal.

Very Comfortable - I normally wear a size 7 1/2 or an 8. I ordered an 8 1/2 in the Venice, and they fit fine. If the shoes were any smaller, my longest toe would be hitting the edge. The arch support is much more noticeable than most shoes. In fact, it was uncomfortable at first. If the Venice hadn't gotten such great reviews, I would have been tempted to return the shoes. I'm glad I didn't. Don't even notice the arch support now.

Great Shoe - Very hard to fit foot. Pronate inward terribly. These shoes hold my foot reasonably straight and are very comfortable. I'm able to wear them all day with no problem.

I love Venice anytime - This is without a doubt one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. The fit the feel and the look of the Venice is unsurpassed by anything else that I have tried lately. I have three pairs now and am contemplating my next color which is another plus. Your color choices are far from the norm which is refreshing and fun to work with coordinating that special look. I cannot wear sandals to work because my toes have to be covered. The Venice has saved my feet from hot and stuffy to light and airy. I would recommend this shoe to anyone. I get more compliments on this shoe than any I have worn in a long time. I also share the wealth. My daughter now has a pair as birthday present. She loves them.

Very comfortable - It's a great wearing shoe, especially to walking to campus and off every day. The shoe was comfortable from the first time I tried on the shoes and I'm still wearing them.

First I bought them for my two-year-old, then for me - I needed a versatile summer shoe that would allow me to chase kids around the park/city/house, and realized that I should just buy what I had for the kiddo. I wear a wide shoe, and amazingly this fits very well. I love the fact that they look brand new after a wash in the washing machine (very helpful for getting that playground sand out!). I will probably buy more of these if they ever wear out.

All Terrain Vehicle - Bought this sandal for a trip to Hawaii. Used for general wear as well as strenuous and demanding hikes on the Napali Coast and in Wiamea Canyon on Kauai, and through portions of Volcano National Park on the Big Island. Great traction in all conditions and closed toe design saved me from serious harm more than once! In and out of water constantly, but they dried quickly. Very comfortable, easily cleaned, and NO SMELL! Have been a Teva wearer for years, but Keen outperforms them hands down. Purchased same style for wife and sons and they rave about them. During break-in, wife's pair suffered a broken pull strap. Zappos express mailed a replacement to insure arrival before our departure to Hawaii. Combination of great product and superior e-tailer with excellent service insures that I will be a repeat customer for years to come!

What an amazing shoe! I bought these shoes three days before leaving for a cross-country jaunt to Disneyland. I took a real leap of faith because I had never seen them in real life, never tried them on, etc. I had one day to wear them before leaving on my trip and I was absolutely thrilled. They survived long walks through the airports AND at least 12 miles of walking through Disneyland. My feet never hurt and even more amazing, my back hurt very little. I immediately bought my roommate a pair as a birthday present and have heard nothing but raves about those as well.

My Shoes for the Summer - I have a pair of Keen Newports which I like for their neutral color. I wear them when I go to the city. The Venice, however, is my go anywhere (even kayaking), do anything summer sandal. They are extremely comfortable. I have a high instep which can be a problem with fit on some shoes. Not so with the Venice. I tried the Venice H2 (the nylon strap version of this shoe) and the fit was completely different. My high instep prevented a good fit. The Venice also has plenty of toe room.

I just love Keens - I bought these one day before a trip to the coast. They needed no 'break in' time...they were comfortable from the start. I have a wide foot and high arch and Keens work so well for me! (Although my husband has a narrow, flat foot and he loves his Keens as well!) I wore them the entire week - in and out of the surf, on the rocks, kicking around town. I originally bought the Newport, and my little toe slipped out of the straps...this design worked better for me.

Awesome shoes - I searched specifically for these shoes not knowing what they were called because I saw them on the front cover of a pamphlet and thought they looked great. I finally found them by searching for blue sandals on Zappos. They have felt great since the first time I put them on.

Phenomenal for my finicky feet!!! Everything gives my wide, flat feet blisters and seems to rub my feet the wrong way. I'm most comfy in flip flops with arch support and Born shoes. I needed to find a water-friendly shoe for a recent trip to Hawaii, which would be comfortable for hiking, kayaking, swimming, hanging out, or any combination of the four. I went to a local outdoor store and tried on several different brands & styles and found these to be the most comfortable--even on the little "try-out-these-shoes-in-a-pseudo-hiking-environment" thingy at the store. I almost bought the 7.5, which fit well, but my toes touched the front, but, on the sales woman's advice, went with the 8. She had said they run a bit small. This turned out to be a good idea, since the 8 is a bit wider and my toes were never irritated. (Of course, after buying them, I found them here for less, so the other ones are going back to the store.) These shoes held up beautifully through almost daily wear for 2 weeks, hiking, swimming at rocky beaches & streams--everything. They rinse easily, without removing, in the little foot showers. Great traction for hikes & dried fairly quickly and the Microbe Shield™ treated SBR lining worked because I didn't get so much as an itch for all the time I spent in these! I didn't need any of the socks I brought. Not a single blister or uncomfortable moment in these shoes. I've even been wearing them since exclusively since getting back from our trip. I L-O-V-E these shoes and highly recommend them!

My new favorite shoes! I have wanted these shoes for some time and went to the mall to purchase them just before I needed them for a trip. They were not available in the color or size I needed at the mall. I had wanted to try them on so I could be certain of the fit. However, I came home, read the reviews about fit and ordered them on Sat. night. I ordered a half size larger than my regular size based on the comments and they are a perfect fit. The shoes arrived on Monday, in time for me to return and get another size if necessary. It wasn't necessary, the shoes are incredibly comfortable, they continued to be great looking while I walked around in the sand and dirt and water, and they are my new "go to" shoe instead of sneakers. I love the quick turn around on my order and the ease with which I could have returned. The comments on size really helped me make my choice. Thanks for a great web site.

These are great! I spoke with another Keen wearer in a health food store. She recommended them. Now I wear mine everywhere. The shoes didn't have to be broken in. I did order a half size larger and they are perfect. These are my 5th pair of Keens. My six year old has a pair of Newports too.

The perfect shoe! I love this shoe! I was in pondering/deciding mode for a few months, looking at the Venice and the Venice H2, weighing different colors, etc., and finally decided this was the shoe I wanted to buy. The leather is still waterproof, still dries out without cracking, and has a nicer feel to me than the nylon webbing of the H2. One of my favorite hikes involves going upstream in a creek and I was constantly banging my toes with regular rafting sandals, so I knew I wanted the toe guard. The water flow can also fold back the sole of the shoe, but not with this one! The search then moved into stores, both online and in person, where I found that most stores only carry it down to a 6, while I needed a 5.5. This is my regular shoe size and I didn't need to adjust as some other customers noted. The only way I knew this was to try on a Venice H2 in the store. Zappos is the ONLY site, out of over ten researched, that had it in this size and color, so kudos to them for the selection. I ordered it online on a Thursday evening around 7 p.m. and when I got home from work the next day, it was already at my house. So I was definitely impressed by the free overnight shipping, which was faster than they guaranteed. Outdoors, I have worn these hiking, swimming, camping, kayaking, rafting, and on the beach. The only possibly negative aspect of the shoe is that sand builds up in the toe and small rocks stick under your foot, but both rinse out easily without taking the shoe off. You can also adjust how tightly you wear it which affects how easily things will get in and out. You can slide them on and off with only one tug at the ankle. It is easy to clean up and has already come through a wash with no problems. I also have worn them to work and my feet are still comfy, supported, non-sweaty, and non-smelly at the end of teaching on my feet all day. They also garnered compliments from high school girls, high praise indeed. Two good friends also have the same shoe, only a few years old now, and they still work like new. These are definitely my new favorite shoes!
