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.

Bought Keens for my husband and myself. His were fine. Mine needed additional arch support. Zappos was great re: return and everything else!

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.

I ordered the shoes for my husband as a gift and he loves them. If you haven't tried Keens... you must. Our whole family wears Keens everyday. Great comfort, airflow, and they last forever.

These are great shoes! I saw this shoe in an outdoor magazine and tried to buy it at a shoe store in my area. That shoe buying experience was the most unpleasant retail experience of my life - all I got out of it was that I needed size 10 1/2 in this shoe. I went online to Zappos and got great service and great shoes. These shoes are comfortable, durable and great for summer.

Great Sandal - I purchased a pair of Keen's Venice H2 sandals for particular use around the water for fishing and boating. The toe protection was the main reason along with the openness of this particular model so that it would dry out quickly. I have not been disappointed. They are great! We have very rocky and sandy bottoms in and around our northern lake Camp and I needed more protection than my old Teva's and they certainly fill the bill. I would heed the suggestions found elsewhere in these reviews to buy the next higher size. Great support and walking comfort without any chafing even when wet. I am now seeing more of the Keen's sandals being worn in the Northeast including NYC and I think they look great as well.

GREAT SANDAL - I purchased my first Keen sandal a couple of years ago and wrote in telling the company that they needed a sandal that was more open and then they came out with the Venice and it is super. We just returned from a long trip and during the trip my sister in law purchased a pair of them and now my wife wants a pair too. It will not be my last pair. Do they come in leather?

I bought this sandal for my son because I have Keen sandals and love them. He wears them all the time and everywhere he goes claiming them to be the most comfortable ever.

Ideal summer shoe - This shoe really lives up to the reputation. Comfortable out of the box and all day on your feet. No break-in period at all. My wife and I both got these for our active hiking-swimming honeymoon in Hawaii, and we couldn't be happier with them. One caveat - this is definitely a "try on" before you buy kind of shoe. The similar Keen "Newport" has a much different fit and feel (better for wider feet), whereas the Venice is ideal for people like me with narrower feet. Once you get the fit right at your local shoe store, definitely get them through Zappos - one of the best online purchasing experiences I've had.

Comfort and quality. Keen makes an outstanding quality shoe! I work outside around water all day. These shoes protect my feet and are very comfortable. NO break in period. They run a half size small. I returned them and ordered a size larger. Zappos sent the replacement 2nd day air without me asking. Truly a first class company!!

The best casual footwear I have ever owned! I have three pair of Teva sandals of varying types. Since the Keens arrived I doubt I will ever put the Tevas back on...the Keens are so incredibly comfortable, with the all important addition of the toe cap to assure comfort and protection...the hands down winner!

Best Keen for me - This shoe is lighter than the H2 and has seems softer to the soles of my feet. They are a tad smaller than the H2 though I ordered the same size in both. They still fit well. Excellent.

Great - I got these because I’m anti-sandal. I love these because they have the open qualities of a sandal, and the stability and protection of a sneaker.
