Customer Reviews KEEN Venice

I love these shoes. Very comfortable and love the color. My other pair are 11 years old and still good. Just felt like I needed new ones.

Color was disappointing though— description was black olive and I wanted black. Black/ olive looks brown to my eye!!!! Will wear, but will try again for black when it’s available

Both pair are Keens and thank you Zappos not only for carrying this great shoe, because they are the most comfortable sandal, shoe that I wear! Also because no one, no one gives such great service. To order 1 day and the order arrive 24 hrs. later, no shipping fees! I have shopped through Zappos for years and have always had great service, even on returns. Thank you!

These feel like putting on a little piece of heaven! I had my last pair of keen athletic sandals for 3 years and I wear them constantly.... guess I didn't remember how soft the fabric liner is and how cushiony and supportive the bottom is!?! So glad I got the same brand as my last faves, these are my new faves waiting to happen :)

Perfect safety sandal for warm weather hiking

I now own 9 pairs of Keen Venice and wear them all year 'round (with sox in winter). I wear them standing for 8 hours in a greenhouse and my feet feel great. I have a high arch which the Venice supports very well. They wash beautifully! The trim on my first pair (at least 12 years old) is looking frayed but the elastic is still good. They are the best footwear I have worn in 75 years!

Wonderful for walking, running, biking and I would even consider wearing them with a casual skirt. They are not just for summer. wear them with socks when it's chilly outside and I definitely would take as travel shoes. The footbed is a material that does not make your feet swear so they are good without socks too. I have two old pairs with the rubber footbed and I love them as well. Perfect fit.

Love these! I think this is 4th pair I've owned in 15 years? I have such painful feet I've had injections to kill the neuromas (damaged nerves) from the arthritis in my feet. These are only shoes/sandals I can use for extended walks. Can't seem to find any "walking" shoes or hiking boots that don't put me in terrible pain. Hope Keen never discontinues this style. The also seem to have tweeked the tread a little, and the arch support is a tad higher, which is nice.

A little stiff. Hopefully that will wane. Perfect walking, climbing, biking, water shoe.

I bought two pair, as this may be the last (original) Venice produced. I have many pairs from many years of hiking, kayaking, dog walking, and traveling. The Venice has a generous width, with cord-pull adjustment, and a toe bumper that some think is ugly but is my favorite part of the shoe! It has saved my toes many a time. The leather version is new to me, and fell in love right away with the smooth feel that enveloped my foot. I just wish Keen would read this and continue the model, as well as the Waimea H2 with toe bumper for women. I know they would sell as they are bid out of sight on-line used sites.

I love the feel of this sandal but I feel like it's going to rub a blister on the inside of my foot. I have high arches.

bought a 8.5 but the 8 fits better. Nice comfortable shoe for the price.

I just want to thank Zappos for everything. I wear narrow shoes and Zappos has enlisted many companies who carry them. That alone is great, but FREE shipping and FREE returns and your order arrives in 2 days! The sandals were ordered on 3-1 or 3-2 and arrived 3-4 early afternoon. Also, they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Thank you, Teresa

My shoe size is between a 9 1/2 and a ten and I bought the size 10 and it was perfect. The shoe is ultra comfortable and perfect for travel where you will be doing a lot of walking or hiking. I like the fact that it can be washed off and dries quickly. The reinforced toe is perfect.

my pinky toe on right foot was totally squashed, bummer, so cute

Great hiking shoe for easy trails and summer time fun that allows you freedom to seamlessly move between water and land. Wore Chacos for years but then switched to Keens because I like the toe protection. Annoying when rocks get stuck in the shoe, but that's kind of unavoidable with any style of shoe like this one.

I ordered the wrong size. My fault. I really love these shoes.

Excellent sandal for my high arches, wide feet. Very comfy! Have worn for years and good support as I walked the cobbled streets of Europe or just around my neighborhood. Best walking shoes I own!

Nice snug fit over the top of my foot, and at the ankle. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5, and in the 7.5 my toes are right at the end of the rubberized cap, so if you are a 7.5 to 8, you might want to go with the 8. I've owned Keen sandals in the past, and love the way they feel and how well they hold up.

Hands down my new favorite Keens. I have wide feet and low arches and these are so comfortable. I haven’t worn anything else for a few weeks and walk through the woods regularly. I have been getting the Keen Whisper for the past few years (like the look), but they run narrower than Venice and aren’t as comfortable for my wide feet. I normally wear a size nine in most shoes, but go up to a 10 in Keen sandals just to be safe. That hasn’t failed me yet in sandals, though it has in Keen’s regular shoes (too big). I’ll be back for more colors when they’re in in my size.

I chose these after much trial and error (thank you Zappos for making this painless) for a multi-day bike trip in central France. They worked very well both on and off the bike, and the sightseeing involved a lot of walking as well. A suggestion is to loosen the laces as the day wears on because feet swell, especially so since the temperatures rose to well over 90* F all days of the trip. The Keen (not Zappos) website cautioned ordering a half size larger then usual, and this was accurate. They are not, to put it charitably, stylish. I didn’t care, since comfort was primary and cycling clothes are the dorkiest attire anyway - the padded bike shorts make people look like they are wearing diapers. Before settling on these I tried Naot and Tevas, which fell far short of the mark for different reasons. The Naot were very comfortable but felt hot, and the Tevas rubbed. By contrast, these Keens are leather and didn’t feel hot to me, which was a big objection to the same style in synthetic materials that Keen offers.

Very comfortable sandals that fit well and should last a while. Even somewhat stylish!

I own these sandals and I purchased them as a gift. Comfortable, durable and breathable. Love them!

The fit and size are great. I ordered a half size up as others indicated and I'm glad I did. Very comfortable haven't worn them too much Saving them for vacation. I also like the look of these, can wear them any time except for dressy occasions.

My toes were jammed-up against the end of the shoe, so returning for the next size up. They felt great on and I really liked the look of them.
