Customer Reviews KEEN Ventura Canvas

Keen, yes, but what size? I wear the Keen Bronx in a size 10. I ordered the Ventura in size 10; they felt what I would call "floppy" - too big, too wide. I am a little surprised because, in the end, it was the size 9 which felt right.

Really comfortable and cute! I own several pairs of Keens; but these are my new favorites. Comfortable and supportive, but fun.

I love this shoe - I have a neuroma, and finding shoes that work for my feet and aren't hideous is really hard. This shoe is wonderful. Comfy, my feet are happy and they don't make me sad to put on (unlike some of my other comfy shoes).

Cute shoe - The shoe is very cute; the picture does not do it justices. The arch support is very little and it does not live up to Keen’s standards. But that will not stop me from buying another pair.

Good shoes! I've had a number of pairs of these (different colors). My only criticism is that the top back of the heel is very stiff and hard. Kind of cuts into your Achilles tendon at first. Usually I stomp on the back and break it down before wearing them. However they hold up really well over time and are very comfortable once you get the back broken in. They are great if you want more room in the toes. My feet aren't technically wide but I hate having my toes squished and these are great in that area.

Cute, but needs heel lift - These shoes are so cute, and nearly comfortable out of the box. I said nearly because the back of the heel came up uncomfortably high until I added a heel lift under the insole. Then I was able to walk all over Seattle on vacation.

Great tennis shoes - I love my keen shoes! This particular pair I have a small problem with because of my feet being slightly narrower than most and this shoe feeling slightly wider than others. But they are very comfortable laced tighter and with a slightly thicker sock.

A bit short in length - I have the brown suede with the pink stripe and they fit perfectly, size 8. I bought these assuming they would be as perfect but they are short! Like maybe mislabeled! I wore them once and my jeans rubbed blue on them so I didn't return them. So watch out for differences in sizes between the canvas, leather, and suede.

There are times when women's feet are water-filled more than other times HOWEVER, this beautiful shoe seemed extremely tight. To be safe, I now see I should have ordered a half size larger. THE HEEL! A bit high for my age...possibly can take care of that, as well. It would be wise to advised customers to just add a half-size larger...Women would appreciate the bit of comfort and with an extremely high heel; the extra room would be appreciated.

Awesome sneaker; but not quite what I expected - This sneaker was exactly right on the money as far as size goes, and the style of the shoe makes it a little wider than most. Plenty of room in the toe box for thick socks. Extremely cute; the only disappointment is I thought the sole would be a little more athletic oriented. It does have more cushion and shape than a normal sneaker, but I thought Keen would go the extra distance.

I didn't like the look of the bright white band under the natural canvas. My foot runs medium to narrow and I can usually wear a medium width tie shoe, but this one was just too wide for me even with the laces pulled as tight as possible. No arch support, but insoles removable so you can substitute orthotics.

Very comfortable shoe, especially if you need good arch support.

Retro cool "tennie" for about town... Have this shoe in two colors. Got 'em a year ago. LOVE THEM! Own 7 different Keens; get TONS of compliments on all of them, but especially these. Always order 1/2 size larger than your normal size. These do not have great arches-but are certainly okay. Keens are the only shoes in last 8 years I haven't had to wear my orthotics with. I need "cush", and arch support. Keens are always a winner with me!

Comfy, not that cute - These shoes are comfy. A little weird looking, I would almost say kind of ugly but yet also kind of cute. I thought about returning them but after wearing them for a bit, I started to really like them. The comfort of Keen shoes goes a long way.

Ventura Canvas - Pretty comfortable, lots of room in the toe and room for my wide, thick instep. Pretty good arch support, but the back of the heel is a little flimsy--irritates the back of my heel. That may be just me...I mostly wear slide type shoes. I love the way it looks. Funky yet cute.

Weirdly cute - I like these, but I could have ordered a half size smaller, they're a bit sloppy, but o.k. with socks. They're kind of weird looking on, though.

Cool shoes - I enjoy the comments I get about my Keen shoes. These red Ventura’s are eye-catching! They aren't as comfortable without socks as with. I do wish that there was a little more support. The second pair of shoelaces makes them fun.

Very comfortable except for an initial tightness in the area around the big toe.

Keen Ventura canvas - These shoes were a little bigger in size for a change, had to order a size smaller. I like the fit however; they are not as wide in either size as the usual Keens. Still, great with orthotics!

The Super Summer Sneak - I work in a laboratory where sandals are a no-no so come warmer weather. I'm on the hunt for a "summery-ish" shoe that offers support, is durable and goes well with lighter summer clothing. This shoe is it! While I wear orthotics for even more support (read: these insoles are removable) the soles of these shoes are very sturdy so feel like they add some extra support to the shoe. A nice surprise from Keen given my bad luck otherwise with them.

Cute but... Had to return them because the way the shoe is made, an uncomfortable seam cuts left to right across the toes. Perhaps this would've lessened after wearing. Also a little heavy. Otherwise a cute shoe - great runabout.

Cool and fun. It's a fun shoe for traveling. I purchased the shoe for a week long trip to Boston and Newport, RI. It was comfortable and right for a variety of situations.

Keen's Canvas - I have found certain styles of Keen's fit my foot and needs well. This is an added style to my collection of Keens. These are my current comfy everyday shoes right now.

Keen Ventura - I've been wanting to try Keens for a while now. I wear a size 11 and most of their styles run a half size smaller than marked. This poses a problem for me since they only go up to size 11. Keen Ventura were reviewed as true to size, so I jumped at the chance to try them. I love the look of the shoe, and I've been wearing them constantly since receiving them a few weeks ago. You'll get compliments on these. On the downside, they could use a bit more cushioning. They are definitely wide enough. I have wide feet and these require thick socks to wear comfortably. Overall, they are a great looking shoe and I'm happy with them. Too bad most of there styles run small...I'd love to try more.
