Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

Great sandal - I was attracted to this shoe because of the toe protection, but I'm addicted to this shoe for the comfort. And while it's a bit clunky, it's cute as well. I did buy a half size larger than I normally do, but it doesn't look huge on my foot at all. The large toe box is great for my wide foot.

I wish I could wear everyday - Well constructed, extremely comfortable shoe. I have to order most of my Keen shoes a full size larger than I normally wear. Was the case with this shoe also.

Fun AND practical! This is a more stylish version of Keen's Newport H2 sandal. The green (which I have) is bright but not garish and goes with lots of my clothes. I agree with other reviewers that it runs a half size small/short. The width can be adjusted with the elastic cord. It rubs a little on the top inside of my foot but then, I have high arches. They'll be fine around town w/o sox. With sox they should make good hiking sandals.

Fantastic Comfort, great design - I bought this in two colors. I can wear them all day and not feel tired. My feet are old, flat and arthritic besides! I ran all my errands, took a walk and was still comfortable in these shoes. I tried the Keen Newport, not as good for me. The great thing is, I can reach down and easily adjust the elastic strap as the day progresses and my feet swell! From now on I will try Keen shoes first. The only other brand I like is Merrell. Even my Mephisto's are not this comfy.

Another really keen hit! This is one style that is true to size for me. I lived in the Newport all summer and fall, so I can hardly wait for the weather to change so I can get going in these! They are a bit different in style and I got the blue ones. I love these sandals! I love the boxy toe-lots of wiggle room. Comfy, wear like iron. Finally a shoe for all reasons!

Great everything shoe - I agree with some of the other posts about the shoes looking slightly clownish, but you soon get over that with how comfortable they are. My boyfriend really wanted to get a pair for our upcoming trip to Mexico and talked me into getting some as well. Not only will they be perfect for on the boat, the beach, and walking thru the shops, they are great for everything else. I wear my Keens to work, to school, and driving on long trips. I do recommend getting a half size smaller though.

Super comfy. They initially feel smaller than size marked but they seem to stretch as you wear them. Mine are perfect now. Great arch support!

Venice H2 - They're comfortable and have great support. They seemed a half size smaller in the women's size. I like the new design with more of an opening on the side. It adds to the coolness factor. And the lime green color is awesome!!!

My 5th pair! An attractive new style for a great shoe. Like all my other Keen sandals and my Keen tennis shoes, the Venice H2 looks good and fits perfectly.

Keen Venice H2 - My second pair of keen water shoes. Excellent product. Great sandal for working on a boat because the toes are covered. The color is fun. This one felt a little shorter than my other pair but still ok!

Great from the Get-Go - I purchased these shoes to wear during the summer in Seoul and on a trip to Thailand. It's still too cold here,but I've worn them in the apartment and they are wonderful. I walk a lot every day. I have other Keens and they are all great. I usually wear a 7 1/2; the 8 fit perfectly. They are fine for my narrow feet.

I'm in love! Never have I loved a pair of shoes more than my new Venice H2s! So comfy, so stable, so light... I just don't want to take them off! I've tried the Newports, which are good too, but in my opinion these are 10 times better. They're a little more open on the sides (good for wide feet like mine), and in my opinion, a little less clunky and more stylish. Light as a feather on my feet - I feel like I have nothing on. I have real problem feet: large, wide, flat, with ankle and hip problems that make shoe-buying a chore and I'm often in pain at the end of the day if I don't wear good shoes. These shoes are a miracle!!

Great Shoe! A little looser than the same size Newports, the Venice H2 has much more breathability -- especially good for me as my feet get hot easily. Also, because of less material are more flattering to the eye. Very comfortable sandal. I bought 1/2 size larger than usual because of reviews but probably could have done with my regular size. MUCH better than my Teva's.

I never want to take these off! These are the most awesome sandals I have ever worn- I love them more than my Teva's! Great sandal- ever so comfortable and you can put them in the washing machine. Well worth the money in my book.

Super Comfortable! I put these shoes on about a week after I bought them and walked around the mall for about 4 hours... and my feet felt great. The shoes required no break-in time at all.

Perfection- These shoes were purchased for a trip to Costa Rica. They did the trick. Comfy and durable. And of course, Zappos did their magic as usual. Another satisfied customer.

The new Keen H2 is an improvement. As with my other Keens, this new H2 is quite comfortable and stylish. And for warm weather, it is perhaps the best Keen yet--open and airy and perfect for either beach or city. I love the colors as well.

I don’t know why Keens have suddenly gotten so small. I have always worn 8-1/2 and have had many Keen sandals and walking shoes that I’ve loved. Over the last couple of years it has become harder to find Keens that fit comfortably. I recently ordered this same sandal in a different color, a half size larger. It fit okay, maybe a little snug but workable. I also ordered this in red but the red is way too tight. Even a half size bigger than my normal size my toe is touching the end. The company needs to get their act together. So frustrating.

Keen has changed their sizing for some reason. I have many older pairs of the Venice sandals. They are all in my normal size of 8-1/2. Now I can barely squeeze my feet into the new ones. When I order a half size up they are fine. But who wants to order a larger size of anything? Very annoying.

First time having a pair of Keen water shoes. Wore them straight out of the box. Walked 5 hours solid at the zoo. No blisters or irritation. Wore them again the next day for several hours at botanical gardens & I was surprised at how comfortable they were. Obviously it’s not the same as wearing a pair of sneakers but my feet could breathe on a 95 degree day. I’m very happy with my purchase. I ordered a 7.5 as I wear in sneakers & they were perfect. I was surprised at how nice they look too. I expect these shoes will last me years ??

I liked the look of this style a little more than the keen whisper, but they were far too clunky for me. The toe box feels a little shorter/more confined for the toes. I decided to return and purchase a pair of Tevas which fit better and are far lighter.

I purchased three different Keen sandals for comparison. (I have reviewed the Whisper and Rose separately.) Although they are true to size, they have the widest foot bed of all three styles. Their arch support is better also. I'm between a 7 and 7.5 "B" or "M". My right foot is slightly longer than my left. So, I usually accommodate my longer foot. In a size 7.5, I noticed that I would slide forward and hit the bumper, which was very uncomfortable. I also tried a size 8, thinking that the problem might be that the sandal ran short. However, they were too loose on me to be practical. Because of the large bumper in front and the wide cutouts at the rear of the shoe, this sandal looks a unbalanced (to me) - especially since I purchased the black/gray combo and my skin is pretty fair. If you tend to have a wider foot and like the look of this sandal, it might work for you.

I just received these great sandals, so haven't worn them for any length of time. I ordered both a size 7 & a 7.5 as I "just never know". (I usually wear a 7 in sandals and a 7.5 in 'closed-in' shoes.) The 7.5 was a perfect fit. I especially like the wider toe box and ease of cleaning. Although this is not a dainty shoe by any means, it has a cool, funky vibe which is easily paired with shorts or a floaty, summer dress. Will order Keen Newport Retro soon.

These sandals are great. There are quite comfortable, and the have great grippy traction. I also like the fact these come in a variety of fun colors. I compared these to the Merrell All Out Blazes and the Teva Omnium. All were very comfortable, but I really likely the Keens because they're a bit more airy and sandal like. When compared to the Keen Sage these Venice 2s feel more substantial and rugged. However, I do find the Venice 2s a bit tough to slip on. I have a pair of Keen hikers in which I wear an 8.5, but I found my toes just kissing the top of the toe box with these sandals. The size 9 fit better.

Everyone I know has a pair of Keens, including my grandchildren! I finally tried them...the Keens not my grandchildren, and really like them!
