Customer Reviews KEEN Ventura Canvas

As usual with Keens, this is a very comfortable shoe. The canvas is perfect for fall. I love the gray color and the rubber trim.

Comfy casual - These shoes are amazingly comfortable. I have a very narrow foot so I had to lace them up more than in the picture. They look a little bit silly on me, but people with average to wide feet I think would really like these shoes. I love Keen.

Excellent sneaker! This was my first pair of Keen shoes and will certainly not be my last! The shoes feel good, look good, and are well made. I especially like the chunky sole and breathable canvas. I found, however, that I needed a 1/2 smaller than what I usually wear. (No worries there though. I called Zappos.com and had the new shoes before I even sent back the other pair! Now that's fantastic customer service!)

Very Cute! I love Keens, so when I needed a pair of cute, but non-descript shoes, I looked into Keens and once again, they did not fail me. Very comfy, but a little too high on the back of my foot. A little pad lifted me just fine. No need to break in like most other Keens. I usually need an insert for my plantar fasciitis, but no need. Lots of compliments (from the younger crowd - I am 40) and I just bought the light brown so it will go with everything. Now I need the other Venturas in other colors!

Keen Ventura Canvas - Awesome, cute shoe for spring! I love all Keens and no longer wear any other brand due to foot troubles. Keens have been an absolute life saver for me due to the comfort and support they offer in their shoes. They have many styles to choose from and if one style doesn't work for you keep trying, I did this until I found the styles that work for my feet. Thanks Keen for no more foot pain! Zappos- you are the greatest!

Comfortable, casual shoe - I, too, have many pairs of Keens. These looked good for spring. I didn't really love the fit until I took out the insole and put in my SuperFeet. I ordered my usual Keen size (6 1/2), but they are just a little bigger than normal. I kept them anyway and haven't noticed any of the heel rubbing or uncomfortable spots. Zappos was fantastic. Ordered Friday evening and received them on Monday with Free Shipping. Gotta love that!

Fun & Functional - I love my new Keen Ventura's. They fit great and are comfortable. I love how functional they are either for play or work. I have a couple of other different style of Keens and have never been disappointed. I would recommend them to anyone.

Love Keen and Love this shoe! Even though Keen usually runs 1/2 size small, this one was my normal size. Looks great with Keens durability. I'm a flight attendant and these are my work shoes. They feel great all day long! Passengers frequently inquire about my "great tennis shoes".

A pretty decent shoe - I have these shoes in pink. They are indeed as cute as they look on the site and also relatively comfortable. I wouldn't suggest them for very long walks (or for multi-day or even all-day wear). While they are comfortable and also true-to-size (I wear a 10 and bought a 10), the back is very high and tends to rub on your ankle because of the thick and strangely sharp border!

A more casual look - After wearing the Keen brand for a while I checked out the more casual look that they had to offer. I loved these shoes but didn’t feel like they had as much support as the outdoorsy styles. Since starting to wear Keen shoes over a year ago I hardly wear anything else. At that time my doctor told me my horrible heal/arch pain was caused by plantar fasciitis and that I should try these shoes. These shoes have made my life a whole lot less pain full! The first week of wearing Keens my feet did not agree, they hurt like crazy but my doc said that would probably happen. Then they just got better. I've worn my Keens on a two week tour of Italy (lots of walking), hiking in the mountains, playing at the lake, at the gym, etc and my feet very rarely hurt anymore! Thank you Keen! I've been a walking advertisement for the Keen brand telling anybody I know that they should try them out. A few people have and they did experience the same things I did. Pain over the first week; then comfort. Generally we have had to order the shoes a 1/2 size larger than we would normally buy. Myself, my husband, stepfather, and mother all love them!

Great sneaker - I’m normally a 7 in a Keen sandal so I bought the 7.5 in the Ventura so that I can wear a thick Smartwool sock in cold weather. I have a toddler who I chase around so these are the perfect around town "mom" shoe without looking "momish." Since they are Keens; they are also good for scrambling on rocks and short hikes when I don't feel like wearing my hiking boots.

Love it! With all the whining about how heavy this shoe supposedly is, I expected them to feel like cinder blocks on my feet... nope! One look at the beefy sole would indicate they are going to be heavier than something like a Rocket Dog sneaker. Also, the comments about the heel rubbing-- yes, if you feel & look at it, common sense would tell you to wear them with a pair of socks until that softens up a bit. Moderate arch support, of course, it's a casual, not athletic shoe-- but way better than the Rocket Dogs I am replacing because I need more support! The insoles will easily remove to accommodate an orthotic if need be. Thanks to another reviewer who strongly recommended ordering your "normal" Keen size, that's what I did & they fit fine with a pair of regular weight socks. They feel comfy right out of the box, much like my other 2 pairs of Keens, the Madison clog & the Isabella slide, which is what initially sold me on Keens. And, kudos to Zappos, I still got them overnight even though my order was placed after the cut off time! Zappos rocks!

Keen Ventura Canvas - This is a fun shoe. I wear an 11, was pretty true to size. Was comfy right out of the box. Not much arch support. I got the rose or red and was surprised they didn't fade on my white socks. Thanks Zappos you did it again.

My favorite shoe! I had been looking for a "sneaker type" shoe and found these… in pink of course! The first few days they were a bit stiff, but after a full day of wearing them, I was sold. My feet never feel tired or sore like they do with other shoes. These are a nice weight, too! It keeps my legs strong. Cute and a true size 7. My wide feet are happy.

Keen Ventura Canvas - If you have worn Keens before, I would order this in a half size larger than you usually wear.

Love this shoe!!! I bought this shoe based on great reviews for Keen footwear. I will say this is the most comfortable shoe I own! I will purchase Keen again!

Great shoes - This is my second pair, different color. I love the look, and feel of this shoe. I am sold on Keen brand shoes.

GREAT SHOES!!! Once again, I tried to buy shoes locally and was told the "new" Keens wouldn’t be available until Sept. Plus a $25 charge for special orders-if I didn't like them. I went to Zappos again and had my new Keens the next day. They came a day earlier than promised. They are TOO CUTE and fit great. I'll probably have to get another pair in a different color.

Excellent shoe for just about anything - I got these shoes for use at my job (I'd usually leave with incredible foot pain after work) to see if the testimonials about their comfort were right - and they certainly were! I have yet to feel any pain after 5 hours of standing and walking, plus they are adorable! Their durable rubber sole is another added plus. I absolutely recommend these shoes for work and leisure!

Ordered a 2nd pair! Great style! Great fit! My dream sneaker. Like Converse, but w/ better arch support and the big round toe I love. I have other Keen shoes, and while I can wear a 7.5, my feet are happier in an 8. I wasn't sure what size to order, as many reviewers have suggested ordering down a size. I decided to order an 8 and they fit great and just like all my other Keens. Thanks, Zappos!

Outstanding! You must have elves working for you. I got this shoe a day before I expected them which was great. The shoe is very comfortable and cute. For people who need a lot of arch support you may need an insert. I personally need a wider shoe which was accommodated by getting a half size larger than I normally wear. The inserts are very cushy and the soles have bounce. I already took a long walk in them and my feet felt great.

Best casual comfort yet from Keen - Hip new shoe from Keen--everyone's looking at them when I walk by! Very comfortable, broken-in feeling. This shoe is truer to size than my other Keens (e.g.--the Presidio, which I had to go up a half size for). Much more comfortable shoes than comparable types like Converse. Keen also gives you an extra set of laces (one light color, one dark color), if you'd like to switch the look. I recommend these as a great pick for a more casual & comfortable tennis shoe.

Comfy sneaker - I like the way this sneaker looks and feels. The sole is thick and bouncy; it accommodates my wide foot without a problem. I don't know about orthotics because I don't have them. I would recommend this to someone with wide feet who likes thick soles. Keen shoes are always great.

I now have 2 pairs of this shoe. These shoes are so comfortable. I can wear them all day long. And they are just too cute.

Cool shoes! Keen makes great shoes! They are fun, funky, and make my feet feel happy!
