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.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any of the Keen sandals.

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!

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.

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.

Hard To Get Into - This shoe was near IMPOSSIBLE to get my feet into, it was quite a work-out just putting on this shoe. Once I finally got it on, it was very comfortable - but for the price, it's not worth the struggle trying to get into it. My 2nd problem is the huge rubber toe-bumper. Yes, it will protect your toes, but in my opinion it is very ugly. Everyone has their opinion, this is just my experience with this shoe, which is packed back up and being returned to Zappos. With this purchase I also bought Ahnu Jenner and it fit me much better. It also has a bit of elastic which makes it very simple to get on my feet. So, for me the Ahnu Jenner was the way to go and it is also a very nice looking shoe.

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.

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."

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!
