I wear a 14 and had to order a full size larger to get a good fit. I walk 5 miles to work and used to wear Tevas (because everyone said they are great; "Oooh! Tevas!"). Wound up with chronic heel pain & crippling stiff tendons on sole, the next day. I now wear these Keens to work and have zero pain, not even a blister. They are warmer than Tevas due to a lot more material and the lacing was a little confusing -- Tevas pull the foot backward by tightening the ankle strap, but tightening the elastic on these pulls your foot forward. Almost sent them back until I looked closely at how the elastic is laced, loosened it and now they are the most comfortable shoes I own and I wear them all day without any fatigue. Like others have observed, if gravel gets inside, it won't come out unless you take the shoe off.

A great quick drying sandal. Very comfortable and yet sturdy. I will probably buy another pair in black.

Nice looking shoe but my toe rubs against the front of the shoe. Not good but okay. If I hadn't needed them for a trip I would have sent them back. They are great water shoes.

Ugly duckling, feet of a swan -
I wear these everyday unless there's freezing rain. I just bought two new pairs, although the pair that I've worn for almost 3 years is still my favorite.

I don't like the Keen backless sandals/slides. I like Merrell's clogs.

Great Shoe!
This shoe is a great water shoe. I bought them for my husband for tooling around on the river...I have a pair and LOVE them. We raft in Colorado and they are great for water and land hiking around. Also, both of our children have a pair and I love the toe guard for them. These shoes are great to throw on and go tooling around all day and not hurt your feet...They are so comfy! These shoes have fit all of our family true to our shoe size and are really durable.

Excellent Sandal!
These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I am 50 yrs. old and swore I would never wear a sandal until I found these Keens...I am sold 100% on this shoe and have no qualms about recommending them to anyone who is looking for a great open shoe with toe protection, I use them in the surf, in the river, and just general all around wear and they are top notch.

The Best -
This is my fifth pair of Keen sandals & these are the best. They are more open & therefore more comfortable. Support & stability are great as in all Keen sandals.

A little piece of green paradise on my feet...
I don't have a car and walk everywhere in the city of Chicago. And flip-flops just don't cut it for long distances & all day. I like the feel of the sole material and the straps are soft and slightly cushioned. I learned on the third day that if I push my toes ALL the way forward in the shoe the heel strap slides on. Plus they look good and Keens does color in the men's line, which I really appreciate.

Water ready - I am a boater and constantly in and out of the water. This style is light and very sturdy in the water. The straps dry very fast and are less cumbersome than other styles.

4 + 4 = 5 -
Just a great pair of sandals, hands down. Very comfortable, I wore them 5 days straight as soon as they arrived. Those 5 days were spent in Lake Placid, watching the Iron Man race in a constant torrential downpour the entire day. 17 hours of pouring rain. My new Keens were soaked, but I didn't lose any grip, and I slogged right through the ankle-deep puddles all day long.

Beautiful!
I purchased this shoe for myself and absolutely loved them, so purchased a pair for my husband who feels the same way. I don't care for the black, but many of the other colors are perfect with summer clothes. I no longer have to be concerned about finding those tiny socks rolled up in the bottom of my shoe, wearing heavy tennis shoes on hot days or wearing sandals in which I often feel unstable or can't run after grandchildren. At the end of my outings, my feet never hurt. They are just perfect! I plan to purchase more in different colors. Thank you!

Even better than the original Venice -
I tried the Venice and the Venice H2, each in Black. I expected to like the all-black (except for the sole) Venice better than the Venice H2 with its entire grey footbed, as all-black fits better with my usual style, but when worn, I preferred the H2. The original Venice (at least in all-black) looks a bit, uh, "Euro", or that you're a guy wearing Mary Janes, whereas the grey footbed of the H2 conveys more of a "male sport sandal" impression.
Note that the photography on the website makes it look like the toe bumper on the H2 is lighter in color than the original Venice, but in actuality it's the same -- it's black, not dark grey.
I found that the H2 was a bit snugger than the original Venice. For me this meant that the heel strap was less likely to travel when walking, but it could also mean more rubbing of the rest of the shoe's material against the foot. The fairly convenient lacing system of these shoes means that it's pretty easy to get them appropriately tight, even if you buy a half size too large. You could say, then, that the original Venice (which I might characterize as "a quarter size larger than marked") gives a bit more flexibility in its fit. It's nice with the H2 to be able to just slip it on and then not have to pay much attention to tightening the laces, though.
The only other issue that can mar the comfort is that there are little spots of hard glue along the bottom of the straps in some places. These can probably be broken down, though.

My new summer "work" shoe -
I love the openness, breathability and security that these shoes offer. My work varies from the office, to the TV studio, to the carpentry shop and these shoes offer comfort, style and protection in each environment- did I mention that I wear them canoeing as well!

Peachy Keen! Zappos was incredibly efficient in getting my new Keen Venice H2 shoes to me. My choice of size turned out to be too small, but only on one foot. No problem. I ordered the next half size up and they arrived the following day. And wear good? Do they ever. They are the most comfortable shoes I've owned since my original Keen Newtons, which still see bank fishing only duty. My wife appreciates that the H2s have nice matching-color toe protection instead of the old black version (she always referred to them as clown shoes). I wanted them for wearing around town in hot weather and they more than fill that bill.

My first pair of Keens -
Just wore this pair to the beach--it was the only pair of shoes I took and they performed well whether walking the sandy shore, biking the island, or standing at a bar. They have also served well on some short hikes in the mountainous region where I live. They dry out and clean up easily, and they feel strong. My only minor complaint is that the sole of the foot can get rather hot; on the other hand, these shoes do not hold a stink (and neither do my feet). Great buy.

Just Great!
I previously had a pair of Keens that I lost somehow and after about 2 days without them, I decided I had to have another pair. I ordered the Venice H2 in green and they look and feel great! I look forward to wearing these shoes (sandals?) outside all summer! My highest recommendation.

My husband loves these shoes -
I purchased these shoes for my husband who is not really a sandal wearer. He loved that the foot is exposed but still covered up enough that he feels like he is wearing shoes. It is great, he can go from the hiking trail to the beach then just throw them in the washing machine and they look just as new as when I purchased them.

The New Keen Look -
These are the taupe on taupe with red accents and I love them. I constantly get compliments on what until now has been considered the ugliest shoe on the market. And up until now I have suffered the abuse because they are the most comfortable sandal I own. I also have about a dozen pair of Keen sandals and slip-ons.

Love those Keens!
We are a Keen-wearing family. Between the four of us, we have and wear year-round at least 15 pairs of assorted Keens. With the assortment of styles, there is at least one pair that is appropriate for almost any occasion from hiking to bicycling to shopping at the mall! The comfort and durability are second to none. The only minor fault that I would note is that when the sizing was changed recently on the newer styles, the arch support was compromised and for long distance walking, they are not as foot friendly.

Really Good -
I really like these sandals. They are exactly what I was looking for. They are comfortable, have a great look, and keep my feet cool. I noticed that they do not have as much ankle support as expected based on the amount of material, but for a sandal they still have a lot! Good buy!
