These sandals are great. The fit is good and they are very comfortable and better than I expected them to be. This is my first pair of Keens and I love them. Thanks Zappos; you guys are great.

I\'m very excited about these shoes\/sandals. Extremely comfortable, easy-on and off, light weight, etc. I would suggest ordering a half size larger if you\'re planning to wear them with socks.

I live in Mexico and the Keen Venice H2s are the best walking shoes I have had. The soles are firm but compliant and the straps allow for good ventilation. On cobblestones, the toe caps help prevent stubbed toes. I usually wear a 9.5 but 10 fits me perfectly in this shoe. I also needed the same size in the Newport H2 which is similar, but with less ventilation. Good shoes, and good service from Zappos.

This is my 3rd pair of Venice H2s. I like the openness of the Venice over some of the other Keens. They're rugged, stylish, and have a cushy sole.

My husband has wide and flat feet. He loves these and only these! We have been buying these for quite a few years! they are very comfortable for him, he has not much arched feet so these work with him. They has lasted pretty long. Keen rocks! and Zappos rule!

I ordered this sandal with the hope that it would be wide enough for my feet, as it doesn't come in wide. I was pleased that the standard width fit my ee feet perfectly (with some adjusting of the elastic straps). There is adequate arch support, and they remain comfortable throughout an entire day's wear. I did have to clip a couple of small hard plastic pieces that protruded from the innersole on each shoe that were irritating my feet, though. All in all a good shoe!

Good shoe! I bought it as a biking shoe because most other sandals don't have the rigid footbed...but these do and work great!

The Venice H2 is way more than I expected when I ordered my first pair! Check it out, I'm a trail runner in the Verdugo Hills area of L. A. county, and I now use these little beauties for two hours of jogging on the flats, scrambling up the canyons, trotting along the high ridges and strolling through the higher chaparral. Never an irritating spot anywhere, and the fit is seriously perfect, with or without socks, both uphill and on the steepest downhill stretches. I work these hard over sidewalk, pavement, lawn, bare rock, broken rock, gravel, a small creek, and lots of SoCal trail dust, and I could not be more pleased.... I am a very happy customer. People, do yourself a favor and try the Keen Venice H2... They are extremely foot-healthy and I've had more than a couple compliments on how groovy they look. p.s. I actually removed the elastic cord and don't even use it, because they fit so darn perfectly! Amazing piece of footwear.

I have been wearing Keen Venice and Newport sandals for over 10 years. Much better fit and design than Teva, Cobian and competitors. Plenty of support and self-adjusting. Waterproof leather looks great. Note: Venice style is cooler than Newport.
Tricks:
Insert your foot into the shoe until it is flat on the insole, then pull the back strap up over your heel. This will save you a lot of tugging untilo the back strap stretches with use.
2. Wash the shoes off after walking in sand and mud. No kidding, just hose them off or soak in sink! That will keep your feet from getting gritty or soiled.
3. Tuck the plastic top of the laces in under the laces as in the picture. That will help keep the laces from loosening. Or tie a knot above the lace-clip.
Caveats:
The toebox is not as wide this year as in years past.

This is my fourth pair of these. I am still wearing one pair by the pool after 6 years of wear. Keen runs about 1/2 size smaller so when you figure that out everything is great! I love buying from Zappos.com. They are quick and wonderful on returns. I have bought from them for many years and have never been disappointed!

The Venice H2's have been surprisingly impressive. Very comfortable and stylish, without being overly so (I have the black version). With socks on, they are perfect. In bare feet, I do find that I need to make sure the elastic straps are pulled tight to create a snug fit. This may just be a factor of size, rather than design or function, though. I wear an 8 1/2, and purchased an 8 1/2; they feel effectively true-to-size. I purchased these mostly for daily wear in the summer, with the thought of an occasional outward excursion. I have yet to test them on the trail or in the water, but around our large, commercial-sized kitchen and campus, they are great.This was the first time I purchased from Zappos, and was very impressed. Very quick delivery, free shipping, and, if I would have needed to, they made it very easy to return the shoes. Very happy with their service.

I been wearing Keen sandals way before they became popular. In the past I have had the Newport H2 and the Venice model stacks up nicely in comparison. The Venice is a little more open but still provides pleny of comfort and stability. Plus there are some very nice new colors in the Venice. Great shoe.

Keen sandals are of great quality and comfort. The fit in my size 14 was true to sizee and the shoe was comfortable the whole time at the beach. Whether I was on the beach or on the street, the shoe was great. If you plan on getting your feet wet you may want to order a waterproof sandal. When the venice gets wet it takes a few hours to dry, but still did an exceptional job. Thanks Zappos!

I bought my Keen Venice H2 a couple of weeks ago and I love them! They are so comfortable! I'm on my feet all day and my feet are comfortable. The Keens fit true to size, they protect my toes, support my arches, and look great! I wasn't sure about the color when I ordered them brindle forest, but it goes with all my pants.

I just came home to find these waiting for me. Pull loops are too small, but that’s minor. For me at least, they run big, as do most sandals except Birkenstocks. I normally wear a 15 in athletic shoes, but having returned the Merrell Waterpro Animas for giving me blisters, I realized they were too big. Instead of getting a smaller size, I opted for these in a 14. They fit great, comfortable, though I hope the midsole softens up a bit, could use a bit more cushioning. I'm overall satisfied with my purchase, and the toe guard will definitely come in handy walking the streets of Chicago. We'll see if they can handle my 6'4" 235lb frame.

Keen Venice H2 - The new Keen's are light weight, have a more comfortable foot bed. They were good before, but they are great now. And as always Zappos is Awesome.

Amazing shoe for hiking, travel, water sports, the beach. I\'ve backpacked and walked many miles across the globe in these and have never gotten as much as a blister. They are incredibly rugged, waterproof and quick drying, they conform to your foot over time and are the most consistently comfortable shoe regardless of activity and time worn, that I\'ve come across yet. I recommend them without reservation!

My husband and I were going on our first "Empty Nester" cruise which was going to involve swimming with dolphins, deep-sea helmet walking on the ocean floor, river-tubing and zip-lining. We needed water shoes that we could wear all day away from the ship while we went on our excursions. We each bought a pair of these shoes and they were perfect. They were so comfortable to walk in that we forgot about them. They protected our feet in the water and then were simply cool, comfortable walking shoes while shopping. I am extremely picky about comfortable shoes, so I ordered a half size larger for my husband and then I chose the man's size for myself, thinking they would be wider. I also got them a half-size bigger. Both shoes fit perfectly for us and we liked them with or without socks. I definitely would get them a half-size bigger. You can find cheaper water shoes, but these shoes are so comfortable that they could be worn all day for whatever came up. Since they were open sandals, they were cooler than the Propet walkers that I would normally have worn for walking. I am looking forward to wearing them when we go kayaking.

Love these! This is my first pair of Keen sandals, and I have no complaints. Very secure shoe that is great for any activity, wet or dry. There are a lot of mixed feelings on whether to size up or use your normal shoe size with Keen. I have pretty narrow feet and usually wear a size 8; however, I bumped it up to an 8.5 and they fit perfectly with no problems. I like the added toe protection so I can use them on rugged trails, something I could not do in other sport sandals.

I live in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and do a lot of walking on cobbled streets, up and down steep hills in tropical weather and often in heavy rain. My wife and I have been wearing Keens daily for years now and they are ideal for these conditions. I just received the venice sandals and they are a great improvement over the our old Keens. Lighter weight and a little more air and wiggle room, but still a snug and super comfortable fit. I am ordering another pair!

I bought these shoes as a gift for my husband. He was not at all convinced that he needed them or would like them. He absolutely loves them, and they have become his everyday summer shoe. They look good all the time, even after a day in the sand as they rinse off and dry quickly. They give him the support he needs and the comfort he desires. They break in immediately. Slip them on to walk the dog, go for a bike-ride, boating or for the beach. Today, while visiting Charleston, SC, they will make a trek to the ocean again.

Very comfortable - no problems with getting the strap on and off. I went on a 5m walk after I got the sandals and no problems with chafing. No break-in needed. Pebbles will get in under your feet and occasionally you'll have to take the sandal off to clear it out. So if that is of concern, then stick with shoes. Good arch support and overall cushioning. Walked on varied terrain: asphalt, sidewalk, dirt, rocky ground, and it handled it all without a problem.
