Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

Review of Keen Venice H2 - Absolutely love these shoes! My husband bought a pair previously and raved about them and now I know why. Felt great from the first time I wore them. They're VERY comfortable. We live in Hawaii so can wear them all year-round. Ordered a size larger than usual as they seemed to run a little small.

Birthday Gift - I finally found something to "wow" my brother on his birthday. He was thrilled with this shoe. He said that they fit perfectly and were very comfortable from the moment he put them on. The day after receiving them, he added them to the bag he had packed for a trip down the Amazon River. A perfect gift.

Superb sandals - The sandals performed superbly in and out of the water during a recent trip to the Riviera Maya. The sandal was very supportive during hikes in various terrains and the protective toe box is a strong feature when wading in rocky waters. I recommend this sandal to all who are seeking a high performance product.

My Keens are sweet!!! Fortunately, I had read the reviews and knew to order a half size larger. I seldom wear size 11, but these fit perfect. In fact, my big toe touches the front of the shoe, but not in an irritating way. Even though these are a shoe style sandal, I did not get the sweaty feeling while wearing them. Zappos service was excellent, of course.

Keen Venice H2 - These are the best and most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. Been a Teva Man for 20 yrs, but not any more. This is my 3rd pair, and I love them.

Keen H2 - This is my 2nd pair of Keen H2s and my husband is on his 3rd pair. They are the most comfortable sandals we've ever had. We wear them for walking, hiking and in the water. They dry quickly and wash up great. I wish they made a women’s size 11.5 since they do run about a half size smaller than marked. I get by with a size 11 with my toes just touching the ends, but still comfortable! My husband orders a half size larger. We wouldn't be without them!

Simply the Best Choice - These are the perfect beach, vacation, hiking, cool looking sandal sneaker on the planet. 100% waterproof, comfortable and tough. I walked in the Ocean, Jet Skiing, Hiking in the rain forest beach basket ball, Rock Climbing and so comfortable. I highly recommend. I will buy another pair just in case I lose them.....

I'm not "outdoorsy" and I LOVE these! I bought the Keen H2's in green and love them. I wear an 8.5 and these shoes were very true to size. I am the kind of gal to wear 3" heels 7 days a week and I love these things. Maybe because my feet aren't in pain when I wear them, I highly recommend.

Awesome Kicks - Live in Florida and these are perfect all-around water-dog shoes. I highly recommend them.

26.2 Miles in my Keen Venice H2's - I have a closet full of expensive "running" shoes, that I have worn a couple times and put them away because they caused metatarsalgia and or blisters. I trained all summer for the recent Portland Marathon and kept going back to my "Keens". I just returned from successfully completing the Portland Marathon in my Keens, and I have no blisters, or foot pain at all. I was asked by many fellow competitors how my Keens worked and I assured them that I would never waste another dollar on running shoes!

AWESOME SHOES! If you are hesitant about these shoes don't be! These are the best sandals I've ever owned. These beat my Tevas by more than a mile. I had them in the Adirondack’s last week, up two tough hikes and through the lake into the boat. I only have positive things to say!

Keen's Venice H2 is Awesome! I waited a few weeks before writing this because I didn't want this to be another "these are the most comfortable shoes ever...I just got them today." reviews. So now after about a month of extensive wear I can say these are surprisingly comfortable shoes. I have worn these gardening, light hiking (I never wear sandals on serious hikes), for general yard work, during a few spontaneous games of baseball with the kids etc. Some days I wake up, put them on and then don't take them off until bedtime. My feet feel great at the end of the day when I wear these shoes. I wasn't really looking for a sandal with a toe cap but rather one that could go through just about anything and keep going. The Venice H2 does that and I have actually come to appreciate the toe cap for several reasons that I won't bore you with. My last pair of sandals were Ecco's, and while I would give a slightly higher comfort rating to the Ecco's, the H2's more than make up for that with their 'go almost anywhere, do almost anything, comfortably', capabilities. Order a half size up and give them a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Great for summer - Waterproof, breathable, comfortable, covered toes, easy to slip on and take off, great for walking, easy to travel with, can wear them with anything, anywhere --- what more can you ask for in a summer shoe.

I Love My Shoes - My Keen's are very comfortable. They come in my size 5/5. I love how they look. I'm a shoe person and I have many shoes. These are some of my favorites.

My husband is very happy with this sandal. It’s comfortable, well made, stays on, and doesn’t give him blisters like other sandals did.

I just give 'em a four. They had a little bit of breaking in to do, but are highly comfortable after that!

Usable - Stay on your feet better than flip flops; I'm a guy so my wife got them for me and my son. You definitely need to get your true size or they are sloppy.

Festival proven! I wore these fresh out of the box to a 3 day festival in rain/mud, hot/dry conditions following and they held up great. The comfort of a shoe with the venting of a sandal!

These are my first pair of Keens, having been convinced by Keen-wearing friends that they're the best things ever. I bought these as the most Teva-like of the current lineup and am generally pretty happy with them. They are very comfortable and secure on my feet and the sizing was spot-on. The only drawbacks I found were pulling them on/off takes a bit of effort since the straps don't stretch or open up; they look a little goofier on your feet than in the pics; and they make your feet hotter than you'd think. This last point was a biggie for me because finding a cooler/less coverage sandal was why I didn't get the Newports. Overall the Venice does a nice job, but just didn't turn me into a Keen "true believer."

Keen Venice H2 - Excellent service by Zappos! These size 11 sandals are a perfect fit for my wide size 10.5.Better arch support than any Tevas I've ever worn. Easy to get over the trademark weird Keen look. Altogether happy with purchase (but "camo" green is a bit more bright than I'd consider "Camo" green to be) I'd probably buy brown next time.

Good all around sandal that's at home in & around the water - I struggled with the idea of spending the money on these sandals considering my Teva Wraptors lasted me over 7 years and I've never owned Keens. The fit issue that many people have was frustrating so I ordered a pair in two different sizes planning on returning the wrong size. It is understandable why people say these run 1/2 size too small because the right size is very difficult to get on when they're new and you automatically think they're too small. I wore the next size up around the house for a little bit and realized that my foot was too loose in them. I went back to my regular size and after about a week of wearing they are much easier to get on and the size is dead on. The sandals are very comfortable and do not need to be cinched down when just wearing them around. Cinching them down provides a much firmer foot bed for walking on trails, uneven surfaces and in water. I like how secure they are in water and if you plan to use them much in the water do not buy a 1/2 size larger, the do stretch a little when wet. I was amazed at how light they were compared to my Teva's but we'll see how they fair after 7 years! One thing they do have over the Teva's is they float so if you're handing them from the boat to the dock and you miss you won't have your sandals at the bottom of the lake. The primary reason I went with these over the Newport's was the cross pattern of the webbing looked as if it would give more support. My feet do not slide around at all in these even when wet. The protected toe box has already saved me the pain of a few stubbed toes. I was a bit concerned that I would be stuck with wet soggy sandals after loading my boat on the trailer for the drive home but they dry fairly quickly. The support these sandals provide are on par with many sandals but I wouldn't hike in them for extended trips over 2 miles, I prefer the ankle support of a hiking boot for that. Of the things I don't like, the biggest issue is that they don't slip on easily. The little loop on top is too small for you to even get your finger in which would help when putting these on. there is no give on the heal strap so you need to slide your foot as far forward as possible in order pull the heal strap over your heal. Once I figured this out I find it as just a minor nuisance. I've had these for a few weeks now and so far am happy with them. We’ll see how they hold up over the years! If you are a sandal wearer like I am and don't mind spending a little extra theses sandals are comfortable all day long.

1/2 size too small - Good Looking Though - I have the Newports in 9 and these are 1/2 size too small - width is good and comfort/look great, but my toe touches the inside of the toe block.

Good but... I'm a size 11; however after ordering an 11 and 11.5, they were still too small. If you have a WIDE foot, you should, and will most likely have to order one full size larger. The size 12 fits well, and performed very well on an intensive mountain hike. The toe protector is a great feature.

Nice - Fairly comfy sandal, good quality, and toes sometimes hit the front, but overall very good and looks cool.
