Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

I said I'd never wear sandals like this except for kayaking. I bought these to replace a pair of kayaking sandals and have worn them everywhere since. They are amazing comfortable. Like wearing a pair of walking shoes. Intend to take them to Costa Rico not only for kayaking but regular wear. Ordered in two sizes because several reviewers mentioned the need to size up. I did not find that necessary and returned the larger pair. They were true to size.

My new sandals went with me to Alaska where they withstood tundra and taiga, kayaking and hiking, lots of rain and some shine. So comfortable, and so reliable! I love them.

I am on my feet all day, I run warm, hate my feet covered, but need a covered toe for work & have a high arch. I have tried many shoes, mixed results. After reading many reviews & talking to people that wear Keens, I gave them a shot. I will never wear anything else! These are the shoes you want if you walk a lot, want breathability and comfort. Seriously, these are the best shoes I have ever worn! Hands down. Comfort, support, good looking & washable. Super cute! I will never wear anything but Keens.

I love these shoes. They are sturdy, practical and so good looking all at the same time. I haven't ever worn them when someone hasn't asked me what brand they were and where I bought them...the orange is sensational!

This is a perfectly fitting shoe! Comfortable enough for all day casual wear that continues right into a 2 mile hike around the neighborhood in the evening. And the color of this particular shoe is outstandingly yummy.

I just love this shoe and have them in many colors. They last a long time and I replace them when they wear down. The wearing down is because of the way I walk, not the shoe.

These ones were for my granddaughter. She loves them, she wears with a skirt or shorts or jeans.

I'm up to 6 pairs of these comfortable shoes, in multiple colors. I have a painful bunion and these are about the only shoes I can wear other than flip flops. You can order your regular size and just tighten as needed (they come in medium width only).

I love the style, color, and fit of this shoe. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I ordered the same size as my Keen Oxfords and they were just enough smaller to have to return and reorder a half-size larger. Great looking shoes, I can't wait to get the larger pair.

This is my third pair of Keens. They are comfortable, durable, lightweight, and "stylish" in their own peculiar way. I give walking tours as a profession and can spend all day in my Keen Venice H2 sandals! Great shoe!

This sandal is just great. The size does run small, as others have said, so I ordered a size larger - which works perfectly. I get many compliments on the color and styling.

I have a wide foot and high instep and have always found it difficult to get a good, comfortable fit in most shoes. These Keen Venice H2 seem to be perfect. They were very comfortable with no pressure spots and there is plenty of room in the toe box for my feet. Plus they are very cute to look at and the color combo is great. I'm looking forward to wearing these on my upcoming trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I'm sure they'll get plenty of use with all the many hiking trails. If you have a slim, narrow foot I think that you will find these too wide for you, but great for someone with a wider than average foot.

Comfortable and rugged. I love them! Great for walking on the beach, or on trails, or just around. I have another pair of Keens as well, and love those too, these are more sandal-like.

These shoes are light and have good arch support. This is my second pair and I love the style -- not too heavy looking but great for walking. I also like that they can get wet, so wonderful for rainy summer days!

I purchased these Keen's for our vacation, just concluded today to the Galapagos Islands. They were absolutely perfect, and comfortable. You don't see this cute color scheme very often. (In fact, I've never seen anyone with this style on.) This trip required a lot of walking on lava rocks, sometimes slippery, strolling on sandy beaches and in the sea, and walking on loose gravel. I always felt very sure-footed, and never had a problem with developing callouses like sometimes happens with brand-new shoes. I downgraded them a little in comfort because as others have noted with this closed-toe design, if you get small rocks or sand in the sandal, it is almost impossible to remove without stopping to take the sandal completely off. Having said that, I only really needed to stop once the entire 8 days we were on the Islands. I usually wear 5.5 so I ordered 5.5. but they were much too short. I could feel my big toe jamming a bit in the front. So I returned them and got 6 instead, perfecto!

This shoe could not be more comfortable. I was able to wear them all day right out of the box with no complaints. Has good support, looks good (especially with multi-colored socks!) My nephew went out and bought a pair after he saw mine. AND they are washable!!

These have become my favorite walking shoes. They are comfortable and the color is great. I especially love the wider toe box.

I love these shoes they are my all time favorite. I teach and can wear these all day everyday they are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Love them!

I have two pairs of these shoes and I absolutely love them. I have done five three Day Breast Cancer walks (60 miles in three days) and had major blistering the first four years. Last year I decided to wear my Venice H2s and I did not get a single blister. I am sold on the comfort of these shoes and of course, Zappos!

I absolutely love these sandals. I ordered both these and the Newport H2, thinking that I would make a decision between the two. I am always a size 10, including in the three other pairs of Keens that I own (hiking boots, casual shoes), and I tried both 10 and 10½ in both sandal styles. In the Venice, 10 fit perfectly, and was even a bit loose until I pulled the strap tightly. The 10½ was way too huge. In the Newport, I absolutely needed the 10½, and would need the 11 if I ever planned to wear them with socks (which I do not). I ended up keeping both styles because I just could not choose, and I think the will serve different purposes. Newport is a bit less stylish, but has more coverage and support for more serious hiking. The Venice is super comfortable right out of the box. I wanted a shoe for a trip to Europe, where I will be doing a lot of walking, in cities and in the countryside, and needed something that could be worn in the water and out to casual restaurants in the evening. I do not want to have to take several pairs of shoes with me, and these will beautifully suit my needs. They are cute enough to wear with a casual skirt (a whole lot cuter than sneakers), comfortable for light hiking, cool in warm weather yet with enough coverage and security on your foot so it is not floppy or sloppy. I got the green color (solid/pattern mix) and love it. It will go with all neutrals, denim, khaki, etc.

I ordered these and the Newport H2 to compare for a trip to the Galapagos with wet landings followed by rough ground. They felt very much the same (very comfortable), but these looked better and made my feet look smaller than the Newports. I have very high arches and insteps and it wasn't too tight over the top if I loosened the little cord when putting them on. I also have short big toes and the Keen square toe box fits me well in my regular size, but if I had a longer big toe I would reed it a little longer. The heel strap doesn't give so it is a little tight when I am putting it on, but once the foot is inside everything is very comfortable, lightweight, and supportive. I think they will be perfect for my trip.

Love them - at first I thought they might be a shade small, but I wore them around for a bit and they fit beautifully. Nice and light.

I have always been a huge fan of Chaco's, and still am, but saw these and liked them because they were something different. I ordered them at 6pm on a Monday night and had them by 3:00 the next afternoon. Awesome! I have loved wearing them, they are super cute, the picture doesn't do them justice. They are comfy and will be wearing them in our week to Disneyland.

I wore these all weekend to a music festival in Memphis, love them! Great to walk in, good support, not too heavy or bulky looking, thanks Zappos!
