Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

I love my Keens! I love these shoes, whether for hiking or just bumming around. These shoes are very comfortable, airy and cool looking.

Love 'em! The Keen Venice H2 is cute and very comfortable. Great for outdoor activity and I even use them as "Business Casual"--wore them to a recent retreat and felt pretty cool :-)!

Venice Sandals - I've had three pairs of the Keen H2 sandals and have loved them. My husband has two pairs of the Keen H2 sandals and loves them too. Now, I have fallen in "LOVE & COMFORT" with the new Venice H2 sandals. They leave a little more open space for added comfort. I recommend these to all people who enjoy support/comfort/wet or dry sturdiness/etc. I got the Mango-like Orange color and have had many comments on them. I'm thinking of either going lime green or purple next. Since seeing me in my new Venice H2's, my husband wants me to order him a pair. Great!!!!

Love my Keens! This is my own fifth pair of Keens and I have converted several friends and family to Keens since my first purchase a year ago. I chose the simple black color this time as I want to be able to wear them year round (and I have 4 other colors already!). I have the ST Barts and the Newports (2 colors each). I have to say the biggest problem with Keens is their inconsistent sizing - even my Newports are two different sizes, yet each pair fits me essentially the same. I live in my St Barts until it is simply too cold out (northern NJ), when I switch to my Newports. I even wear the dark pair in winter (with thin socks if necessary) as often as not. However, I cannot wear the Newports as long (as I can wear the St Barts) as they begin to rub in the heel and my little toe, hence my purchase of these Venice sandals. The Venice H2 is a little more open than the Newports and more comfortable. I can walk in them all day with no problem whatsoever. They are not quite as heavy as the Newports so easier to wear in the summer when I cannot wear the St Barts. I have received several comments on them already. I'll keep the Newports for color variety, but if this shoe were available (when I purchased the Newports) I'd choose Venice H2 hands down over the Newports. The fit runs seriously small - I have a wide foot, 7 1/2 or 8 - I wear a 7 1/2M in the St Barts, 7 1/2M and 8M in the Newports, and based on reviews, ordered an 8 1/2M in the Venice. The 8 1/2 is very slightly long, perhaps not perfect but extremely comfortable - and there is no way an 8 would have fit. They are also adjustable, which helps. I'd say it is 3/4 size "smaller than marked." The fit is also good for doing a lot of walking in warm weather as there is proper room. If you have a narrow foot or going up a half or full size would make the shoe too wide, this is probably not the sandal for you. Other than that, this is a great shoe, even worth the high price!

Peachy-keen! Keens are funky looking in a fun way, and this makes them extremely comfortable. This is my 2nd pair. I wear my black ones (without socks) to the gym and people do take notice. If you are a woman who likes to wear pointy-toed stilettos to buzz around town in, don't get these shoes. You will hate them! However, if you are athletic-minded, sporty, and like loads of comfort, you will love your Keens.

Keen Venice H2 is an excellent shoe - Exactly what I wanted...great shoe, fit, design and price. Arrived in just a few days...

Keen Venice H2 - Very comfortable and practical for land and water use. Easy on and off. Dries quickly. Nice to have a sandal that covers the toes. The whole family has purchased these shoes.

Better than I thought - I had seen these shoes on neighbors, friends and some celebrities, in different styles and colors. When I received my own pair, I was absolutely delighted. For the most part, they felt true to size while I wore them with no socks. Once I used a pair of thin socks, I felt that I should have ordered a half-size larger than I had. I only felt a slight discomfort, however, after walking for quite a distance with the socks on. Overall, I am very, very happy with these and will likely order a few different styles and colors, in both my true size and the 1/2 size larger.

Easy to wear - I particularly liked the toe protector and the strap which went around the heel instead of leaving the shoe loose in back. Waterproof material meant that walking in puddles didn't ruin the shoe.

Breathable comfort & style - I am an artist and kept seeing women walking around summer art shows with these shoes. I purchased what I thought was a similar pair of Merrill’s, and although a nice shoe, they were clunky and made my feet sweat. I decided to purchase the exact brand I kept seeing (Keen) and am thrilled with them. They are light weight and very comfortable. They allow air in, so you don't sweat like in other brands. They do run a 1/2 size small, so order up a size. I found them to be medium plus in the width, which is nice. I love these shoes!!!

I love Keen Shoes but... I love Keen shoes for comfort but they are not true to size. They are a full size smaller in a closed in style shoe. I have ordered 3 pairs of Keens and kept 2. I ordered these sandals a half size larger and found that my great toe will rub against the toe of the shoe. The other Keens are a clog/mule style and fit wonderfully at a half size larger than I normally wear. The 3rd pair however was an oxford/closed style and had to reorder to a full size larger and then it was too wide to fit my foot. LOVE THE COMFORT BUT SIZING CAN BE A PROBLEM!

Fabulous shoe! I have a hard time finding sandals to fit over wide foot and high arch. These are fabulous; I have worn them everyday for 2 months and have never been happier with a shoe like I am with these. I will definitely buy more sandals and possibly a set of sneakers as well.

Great shoe even if you have a wide foot and/or high instep - These are very comfortable with no break-in period needed. I struggled with other styles of sandals because I have a high instep and wide foot. I usually wear a 6.5, but found that a 7.5 in these Keens was just right. I walked three miles the first day I got these shoes and found that they were still comfortable at the end of the day.

Sporty and cute! I got mine in green and love them. They're great for going on longer walks and I can wear them instead of tennis shoes. Very comfortable and I'm getting lots of compliments on them. Look cute w/a sporty skirt or cargo type pants.

Perfect for Hawaii - I could use a better arch support, but then, I do have high arches. As you advised, I ordered a half size larger than my normal shoe size and found that a comfortable fit. The soft lining prevents blisters above my heel and that's always a plus.

The perfect shoe for Boundary Waters Canoe trip - Wow. Great traction. Drained well. Moose muck came right off and dried well in camp. I didn't feel rocks through the sole and I was able to climb well. My mother...older in the ankle...taped her ankles to give more support while carrying packs and canoes though. Great all around shoe.

Thank you Keen's! I work in a hospital laboratory and we strictly have to have our toes covered. No sandals. I live for sandal time. I got green Keen's with the sturdy looking "safety" toe box and wore them to work. The first day I got a "no go" and then the safety manager re-wrote the rules! How great was that?! I have worn them (alas the sock rule still holds) every day, and have gotten a million compliments...on the elevator I find that everyone is looking down at my feet. Thank you, Keen's. Love them!

Keen's Venice H2 - This fabulous shoe took me hiking over slippery wet rocks and over sharp stones and lava throughout Maui. I was terrified of slipping and falling but the grip on these is great, plus they can get soaking wet and muddy, yet dry off looking like new! Really comfortable too. I wish I liked how they looked on me more because then I'd wear them more often (my hubby wears his all the time). Great shoe--definitely runs on the wide side which works perfectly for me.

Great shoes - I love Keens! I wasn't prepared however for the variance in size among the different styles. I sent these back twice before I got the shoe big enough for my long feet. My other pair are only size 9 and slightly big, but I had to order a 10 in this style. The great thing about these is you can adjust to almost any foot type. Mine are long and narrow and these feel great on.

Great fit - light as AIR - I'm impressed! My wide feet actually fit comfortably into this one! The height of the sandal is perfect too, as it is adjustable. If you have wide feet and have trouble fitting your foot into women's sandals, this is the one for you. I'm also uber-impressed with the lightness of this shoe! Totally light! Also, the footbed is super soft. Haven't given them a test-drive around the lake yet, but hope they'll support my ankle just the wee bit that it needs. I'll post back with my experience.

GREAT SHOES! These shoes are great - very comfortable, great arch support and no sweaty feet! The toe box is a little less wide than the Newport H2. I could walk for miles in these!

Great sandal - This sandal is extremely comfortable, goes anywhere, and washes easily, my favorite casual shoe. I love the extra width, as I find a large toe box most comfortable; and there is actually enough room at the top for my very high arch.

I Love Them! I wear these shoes whenever I can! They are really comfortable. I have trouble with heel spurs and these have been wonderful! I would highly recommend them. I only wish they were easier to find!

Love My Keens - This is my first pair of Keens and I love them. I had worn them for just a short while when I broke a bone in my foot and I needed shoes to give me support once I was able to start putting weight on that foot. These have been great. I can't wait to wear them under normal circumstances. It was a good thing I had tried a pair prior to purchasing as I did have to get a 1/2 size larger than my normal size.

Comfy!!!! This shoe works wonders. I am going on a mission trip to Burma and can only pack one pair of shoes. Not only are these walking/running/hiking shoes but they also can be a substitute for sandals. I do not have to worry about them getting wet or even hurting my toes. Great shoes! It took a couple of days to break in.
