Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

This is probably my most favorite shoe of all time. I owned my first pair for about 13 years or so before finally replacing them. And that wasn't just casual summer use - I am usually pretty hard on my shoes because I find one pair I like and tend to wear them all the time. Wore in and out of water - creeks, lakes, etc. I would use them for my main walking shoe when I went walking because the felt better on my feet than tennis shoes. I had to write to Keen to get the model when I went to replace them. I ordered in my normal size - 9 1/2 but they were too tight (I have a very wide foot). When I went to the Keen website they had a note that the shoe was running about a 1/2 size small so I exchanged up to a 10 and they were perfect. Definitely recommend for comfort and quality. You will definitely get your money's worth with these shoes.

Love, love, love this sandal. Have in multiple colors. Great for walking, hiking, beachwear.

I love this sandal! My feet are wide width, and these give me plenty of room in the toe bed. My toes are well protected and contained. I just ordered a second pair in a different color.

I love these Keens just like all the others, but suddenly a 10.5 seems to be too big for my feet. I "float" around in them. So I ordered a 10. Besides my hiking boots, Keens are what I wear every day, all day.

These run a bit small; my toes touched at the front and the toe box was a bit tight. I would have exchanged for the next bigger size, but there is not much arch support. I had to return these.

I loved these shoes -- wore them to the bone. Wish they would continue making these, and offering a better selection of colors. Also -I need arch support - these gave me exactly what I needed. I even wore these in the winter...in Wisconsin. Sometimes though, only indoors. Great shoes. I miss them.

These shoes don't need another positive review but here goes. There are so many things to like about the Venice H2 besides their good looks. They are easy on and off, have good arch support, and the strapping is very adjustable making a good fit for almost every foot. Mine is slightly wider than normal so I appreciate the wider toe box with room for each of my toes to spread out. I chose this model with the nylon straps rather than leather because I wanted to be able to walk in the water with them. I like the unique beet color as it looks good with so many things and is different than the usual red. I was able to put them on and wear them all day with no discomfort. As others have said, it is a good idea to order a half size larger than you usually wear.

I tried on the Clearwater CNX, the Whisper and this Venice H2. The Clearwater did not have enough sole support. The Whisper's design was "too busy" for my taste. I had looked up the Venice H2 description on Keen's website, and they recommended this style for "all adventures." I wanted one pair of shoes to do light hiking, touring and possibly getting wet. This fit the bill. I wore a 5.5 in both the Clearwater & Whisper, but it is true that you do need to size up 1/2 size for the Venice H2 so your toes don't bump up against the top. I bought the Navy with coral accents, goes with everything, and is very comfortable. HIghly recommend.

After struggling with a foot issue and trying on too many summer sandals - the Keen Venice H2 won out! I did have to size up to the 9.5 rather than a 9 which I usually wear - but decided that it would work better and it has! They are very comfortable- I even wear them to work out since my tennis shoes are hurting also--- they have hiked in SC, walked thru rain in MO and had many other experiences this summer - and still look and feel like new. No break-in time required.

Nicely constructed but because my right foot is deformed due to a large bunion on big toe, it was painful. They do run a bit small so I ordered 10 & 101/2, the 10 1/2 fit better with more toe room. Unfortunately I had to return both pair.

These shoes are perfect. I usually wear an 8, but got an 8 1/2 in these. They are comfortable right out of the box. I bought them and then wore them walking around Chicago all day. In the winter, I'll wear them with socks. I also have plantar fasciitis, but these shoes help tremendously to eliminate any pain.

I have never worn this style of sandal before. Because I got tired of tripping on flip flops that did not fit snug to the bottom of my foot, I decided to try this style. Happy that I did, these are very comfortable, with good support. I really like the color of these, very discrete and goes with all colors. Big thumbs up.

My family always order Zappos shoes, the Keen Venice H2 is my first try. These are the best for waking I have ever worn, I walk 6 days a week. The fit was comfortable, the size run true and the support is great. I am a fan for life. Charrie

These are really nice and well-made sandals. I ordered both the 7.5 and 8 and the 8 was sloppy but easier to put on. I had to struggle with the 7.5. I am now trying again with a strap over the foot for easier access. Thanks Zappo's for having patience with me in returning these shoes. You are the best!

I have size 8 Keen hiking boots and other Keen shoes but I ordered a half size up for these shoes after reading other reviews. They fit great and I was able to wear them all day right away on a day on which I did a lot of walking with no issues.

The Keen Venice H2 is a great alternative to a sneaker. It's got great support, is waterproof, and has great traction. I feel like I could go anywhere in these, rain or shine. I got the Shitake color because it's a good neutral. I have a square, wide foot and wear anything from a size 7 to a 9 depending on make and style. I tried both the 7.5 and the 8 and they both fit. I went with the 8 because of a little extra room and the ability to adjust/tighten the fit. The shoe is also a little tight to get into, but once I'm in it's very comfortable.

Thank you Zappos for your excellent customer support, great products & service! I love my Keens. I own a pair of Venice in size 9 & a pair of Venice H2 in 9.5. My normal shoe size is 9. I originally had the Venice (9) for a year or 2, then wanted some color, so I got the H2 in the Beet color. I've had those now for a couple years. I really love the color & they go with everything, really! My only regret is that I wish I had stuck with my regular size & not gone up 1/2 size. I thought I might need the extra room for some reason, but I don't think it was necessary, even when I occasionally wear socks with them. I have VERY wide feet, wierd toes & very high arches. These fit perfectly & I think they are cute, well cuter than my bare feet anyway! Being a nurse I am very particular about what goes on my feet. These are worth the investment & really stand up to alot of harsh elements. So I am looking again to buy another pair, even though mine still look awesome, because I'm really in love with these sandles!

I have purchased three pairs of these sandals over the past 7 or 8 years. I first bought them to help with my plantar fasciitis; they offer wonderful arch support and keep my feet cool. I wear them from spring through fall (I live in the southern U.S.) without socks, as my primary shoe. I wear them everywhere: around town, on hikes in the woods, and on the beach. I teach, and am on my feet all day some days, and these shoes are very comfortable. They do get rather stinky after a while, but they wash up beautifully in the washing machine and then air dry. The soles hold up very well; I've worn some of these pairs for three years without much loss of tread. After several years, I have had problems with the stretchy laces breaking (to be expected after so much wear), and have replaced them with Lock Laces.

Finally to replace a pair of Venice shoes purchased several years ago. This new pair is perfect, I followed the advice to size up. Comfortable, even on my wide feet.

I wish the Arch was higher because of my planter fasciitis. I bought another email brand arch lifter but that made it a little too high. So on my next walk I will try it again as is to see if I can just wear it like it is. The reason I bought these Keens were for walking...I just wish that little bits of gravel, and debris didn't get into the sandal under my foot. Have to stop a lot and take them off to get rid of the irritant. Do people also wear these with socks? Because that might help with that little Problem. I love them though over all however and glad that I purchased them. Review by Peggy Smith

i love Keen shoes of this type. Unfortunately these were too small even though I ordered them in my regular size.

Love these shoes !! Open enough to keep your feet cool, with great support for all day wear.

Love this sandal for every day wear running errands, my daily 3 mile beach hike and work.

Love these, so comfortable right out of the box! A couple of years ago I purchased Keen "Whispers" and loved them, but the Venice I feel is a little airier and so cushioning and comfortable. Would love to buy in another color, I purchased the brown.

I love my Keen Venice sandals! They were very comfortable right out of the box. I wear them with shorts or jeans. I also like the fact that I can slip on a pair of socks to wear if my feet are cold. The closed toe on the sandal protects my toes from stubbing. I would highly recommend these sandals. The mineral blue color is very soft and neutral. I plan on buying more keen sandals!
