Customer Reviews KEEN Ventura Suede

Disappointed - I thought I loved Keens. Now I don't. This shoe did not hold up well in areas I didn't know could fail. The inner lining ripped away by the heel so now I squeak when I walk. The cream color outer rubber area must have had extra glue on it because it has this yellow discoloration that is quite ugly. I've had them for 6 months and these flaws began to show up only about 2 months into my wearing them. When I first saw them, I fell in love with their looks and just tried to remind myself that I love my other Keens. So I kept them even though they never felt great. Now I have a replacement pair of shoes, not Keens, so these will be off my feet permanently.

Awesome shoe - Felt perfect right out of the box and it's super cute, too. I'm right on the border of 9.5 and 10 and the 9.5 fit just right--likely because it has a nice wide footbed. No digging into my heels like many shoes do either.

Keen Ventura Suede - Great Shoe! I have received compliments on these shoes from elementary school aged kids to adults! The shoes will accommodate custom orthotics and are very comfortable. They are a good light weight sneaker, not as rugged as my Keen Briggs, but they are obviously designed to be similar to canvas sneakers and not rugged shoes.

Keen Ventura - Loved this shoe as an alternate to just a tennis shoe. Super comfy and cute! Little difficult to slip on but once on they are very comfy. No break in, wore right out of the box.

So Comfortable - I am on my feet all day and these are the most comfortable shoes I have found. Other shoes make my feet hurt by noon. These were just great. Reasonably priced too!

My second pair! I love these. Well, I adore Jack Purcell sneaks but they are just too narrow for me. These are a great alternative. I bought some in green and just got the black ones. Really cute and sturdy and surprisingly stain resistant. Orthodics work well in these shoes.

I got these shoes and they were much too wide for my foot. Almost all of my shoes are 6.5 or 7 but these looked like they were a 1/2 to 1 size too big for my foot. Largely uncomfortable, straps were inadequate, and the sole has zero traction. I almost fell in the kitchen as I was trying to put these on! Returned them and am now looking for a better pair.

These boots are wonderful! Very furry and warm inside. I bought them in the metallic silver color and they are soo cool. Good if you have athletic calves like me. They fit really nice and are very comfortable to walk in. I am a size 10/11 and bought a 42 and they fit great.

Fun and Casual - I have wanted a pair of Keens for the past couple of years, but could never bring myself to spending that much money on one pair of shoes. I am a huge bargain shopper and very seldom will I spend more than $25.00 for a pair of any kind of shoes. However I had to have some Keens. I bit the bullet and bought two pair!!! I absolutely love them. I bought the Ventura and the Portola. The first time I tried them on and walked around my house I was a little worried that I did the wrong thing. They both fit so differently from each other and completely different from any other shoes I have had. After about 30 minutes (yes just 30, no break in time at all) I absolutely loved them both. They are both true to size and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting at all. I will most definitely have more Keens in my future!!!

So Comfortable - These shoes are cute, comfortable & have great support. I'll be back for more colors!!!

Keen's - This is my 4th pair of Keen's. I love the way they fit and look and you can't beat the comfort for a walk or a day on your feet. Will continue to buy Keen's in the future.

Love them so much, I bought two pairs - I'm always looking for a fun pair of sneakers that are comfortable and funky. These Keen's are great. I'm on my feet a lot and they work well all through the day. I liked the style so much that I bought a second pair to put away. They come with two pairs of laces (dark and light) so that you can change the look when you want or if the laces get dirty. I've been a Keen lover for awhile and these just keep the love affair going.

Love them - I got these for Christmas in pine cone with the pink stripe for Breast Cancer Awareness. They are really comfortable & easy to match with outfits.

Awesome kicks - These shoes are very stylish and comfortable. I wish I could stockpile them.

Cool Shoes - I really like these shoes. This is my first pair of Keen's. They are comfortable and have an updated Converse look.

Happy Feet - I love my new Keen Venturas. I wear a 9 and found the fit to be perfect. There is not much arch support but I'm fine with that as my arch is so high I have trouble finding shoes to accommodate. They are also wide enough to be very comfortable. I teach in a toddler class and saw the shoes on a two year old (They are a bit different in that they have a velcro closure). I'm pleased to say they look just as cute on my 55 year old feet as they do on the two year old. I have received many compliments and inquiries as to where they were purchased. Zappos is the best in service. I recommended you highly. Thank you!

Another great Keen shoe - It seems my closet is slowly becoming overrun with keens. The Ventura is another great shoe and looks good too. I get lots of compliments. At first out of the box they were not as comfy as my others keens, but once you wear them in they are great. These also fit true to size for me.

Great Everyday Shoe - This shoe is so comfortable and cute. It is a roomy shoe, but I ordered my normal size and they fit fine. I know some Keens run small, but this one is pretty true, even a little big.

Cute shoes! Love the look! Not too comfy. I walk all day at work and I needed some gel inserts to help with all day comfort. A bit snug for me at size 11, but that's the largest they run (I have never worn larger than an 11). However, they are wearable. No blisters, etc. right out of box. I get compliments on my brown Ventura's all the time. Get 'em! They are super cute!

I love these shoes!!!! I had them in black and decided I needed them in brown, so that I could wear them daily. Best shoes for casual wear, being on your feet all day or non-strenuous walks. I have slightly wider feet, as the ample space feels great.

A Keen Shoe That Fits a Wide Foot! I have a wide foot, high instep, narrow heel. It's tough finding shoes - athletic, casual, or dress - that fit me in all three of these areas. I tried on many styles of Keen shoes, and this one fit just right - in a medium width, too. The part of the shoe that has the lace holes doesn’t connect at the throat, so I can pull the tongue out almost all the way to the toe. This makes it easy to get the shoes on, and also allows some give for a wider-width foot. The style is reminiscent of Converse shoes, a nice simple style. The shoes come with two sets of laces, one matches the color of the shoe and the other matches the trim. The only drawback is that there is almost no arch support (hence only 4 stars), but I wear my thinner pair of orthotics over the insole. I probably could wear my thicker pair without the insole, but I like some cushioning in the shoe.

Unexpected hit! I have bunions and always hard-to-fit feet. When these shoes came, I thought: no way. HOWEVER, my kids encouraged me to try them AND they jumped to the top of the heap. They were the only pair of the 4 I ordered that fit. In the end, I wore them 2 days straight, no prob!

This shoe is all Fun! Great shoe for fun weekends. A long day of shopping doesn't even stop this shoe.

Cute shoe! Love this shoe! There is no arch support but I bought an insole insert that solved the problem.
