Customer Reviews KEEN Venice H2

I ordered this shoe, a Keen Whisper, a Teva Omnium and a Merrell Cambrian Emme. Tried them all on and walked around the house for a while comparing each one. This was the easy winner. The whisper was fine, but a little bulkier, not as attractive. The Merrell was probably the cutest one and comfortable insole, but the straps and mesh over the toes was itchy. Felt awesome with socks but I don't want to wear socks with my sandals! The Omnium was very bulky & just didn't feel good. This Venice H2 felt like I was barefoot, but better. The color goes great with jeans. I've put my summer-shoe-quest on hold because I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these almost every day. Sending the others back. I have a narrow foot, usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2. The 8s are too small for me in Keens but 8 1/2 is perfect.

Loved this shoe. Wearing them right now (no socks). Color is fantastic. Good arch support. Look so good on my feet. So comfortable for all my toes, including my big Big Toes and my short Little Toes! I have tried them going up and down stairs and they do not press or rub anywhere, comfortable heel strap, easy to get on, seem like they will be very good for exploring outdoor trails. Definitely recommend -I tried 4 different Keens water sandals, a Merrell, an Ahnu, and a Kamik and these are the best for me. I have many problems with my feet (hammertoes, neuroma, Achilles, etc.) and these seem to work for me.

Initially ordered Whisper, but exchanged to get Venice H2. Although sized up 1/2 size to 8.5 on Whisper, the 8.5 was so tight my toes felt super scrunched together. The length could have been adequate, but the tightness of the shoe could not work for me. Decide to go onto the Keen website to review what they said about their styles. There was a reference on the Keen site that the Whisper had "woman's foot sizing". I gathered that must mean narrower. Sent Keen an e-mail to confirm if this was the case and they sent back - "The Whisper is indeed a more narrow style, if you are looking for a wider fit, the Venice should be able to accommodate you." .... so with that info I exchanged the Whisper for the Venice H2. The Venice H2 is TERRIFIC - ordered it in 8.5. Size is perfect, width is perfect, love it. Feels very comfortable. SO if you have a narrow foot, likely the Whisper will be fine, but if like me and want more room for the toes to have space consider the Venice or Venice H2 and worked much, much better for me. Zappos was GREAT with the exchange, love Zappos!

This will be very boring. I have worn these shoes for the past five years. I buy many shoes during the year. I buy cute shoes, sexy shoes, boots, but I always end up wearing these shoes. I live in Mexico part of the year and it is great for the cobblestone streets and is totally waterproof. I came back to the USA to make some money and I was wearing my five year old shoes. This pair is my first purchase from Zappos. The exact same shoe style, but in a different color. Zappos provided great service. My old Keens can go another year at least.

I have narrow, flat feet. Desperate for shoes that are cool to wear in Kansas heat, can take the water and dirt of farm wear, and fit comfortably, I ordered a pair of the Venice H2 sandals. The shoes met my needs and more. During wheat harvest, I'm climbing around on all kinds of equipment--even on top of tractor tires--and I need shoes that hold my feet and won't let them slip and slide. These hold my feet securely. Plus they give added toe and sole protection--maybe not as much as work boots but they are cooler and lighter and that gives positive safety points,too. Fifteen hour work days hauling your feet around in hot boots is exhausting. Yesterday, 3 out of 6 of the harvest crew showed up in the field wearing Keen Venice H2 sandals. Now that says something for them right there! I've already ordered my second pair.

Keen's are my go to brand and I strongly recommend them to gals with wide feet like me (I have a "D" width). This particular shoe is really comfortable and with the unseasonably warm Spring have been able to wear them quite a bit! Zappos rocks service and is my #1 Internet site!

I love these shoes! They are so beyond comfortable. I have to wear close-toe shoes for my job sometimes, I'm a marine biologist and it is required on the boat. These fulfill that requirement and allow for your feet to stay cool! They also are still comfortable when wet, and they do not slide around on deck. This is the second pair of Keen brand sandals and I will continue to buy them forever! They are perfect for life on the beach or on the go or for anyone who wants a cute, comfortable shoe!

We have done everything in these shoes- from kayaking, to beaching, to wading through marsh muck looking for clams. The Keens have taken it all in stride. They are very easy to get on and off and have tabs to make pulling the shoe around the foot a bit easier. If they get dirty- which they always seem to do- you can just hose them off and they're good as new. A nice feature with these sandals is the fact that the toe is enclosed- which makes it easier to wear them hiking or in the surf. The sole has great traction, even on wet surfaces- like a dock or rocks. They are waterproof and we wear ours in the ocean. My husband, kids and I all wear them.

ALthough comfortable, these are not good for me. The reason is that little pebbles seem to go through the wider opening in the front that I am constantly having to take them off and shake them out. None of my friends have that issue with the Keens that have fewer larger openings. I bought these before a trip because that is all they had. Looking now for a different kind of Keens.

Love them. Third pair in 10 years. They go in lakes, rivers, ocean and on hikes. Can't live without them.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. They offer great arch support and take away my heel pain. I can wear them all day without any discomfort. My feet doen't get sore, my calves don't get tired and they are cute too! I would highly recommend these shoes and am considering buying a spare pair for when these wear out!

The Keen Venice H2 is a terrific sandal. I have relatively high arches and the sandal provides the right amount of support, and the footbed molds to your foot after a few wears. The strapping is secure but not too tight and is comfortable against my skin. The soles are stiff enough for hours of comfortable walking about town or on a trail. As others state and as I've found with other Keen shoes, do order a half size up. I usually wear a 9.5 and the 10 is just right.

Perfect fit right out of the box. I read the reviews and ordered the suggested 1/2 size up and it was perfect. In my opinion this shoe is built better than the Whisper. I can't wait to see where these shoes will take me!

This shoe was perfectly comfortable right out of the box. It is lightweight and has a terrific arch support. It garners a lot of compliments. As everyone suggests, buy a half size larger than you normally wear. You won't regret this one. I want more!

These shoes are awesome! Took them on my trip to Panama and wore them for over 12 hours on the first day. I have never had a new pair of shoes that didn't hurt my feet on the first day! Great support and very versatile!

Keen is new to me, but my son encouraged me to try a pair. This was my first choice and I really like the sandal. Living in the country, the rough and uneven terrain tested these thoroughly, giving me support and grip. I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly. After years of wearing the original Crocs without any heel lift, it did take a bit of time to get used to the new feel of the heel wedge, though it is low. These sandals feel sturdy and well made. I'm looking forward to wearing them again next summer.

I love these shoes! I am not a shoe person. My previous favorite shoes were Birkenstocks. I actually like these better, because the toes and ball of by foot feel open. These shoes don't pinch anywhere, and I can run in them. Unlike the Birkenstocks, I can throw these in the washing machine when they get dirty! I bought 3 pairs in different colors.

I have several pairs of Keen shoes, including 5 pairs of the CNX. Since this is a similar style, I ordered size 8. Zappos recommended going up to a size 9, but I went ahead and ordered 8 & 8.5. Size 8 fits perfectly (8.5 is being returned). These shoes are every bit as comfortable as my other Keens. I walked over 2 miles in them right out of the box. No brake-in period whatsoever. I am an active older woman who has had surgery on both of my feet. I highly recommend these shoes for comfort and to protect your feet from toe injuries!!!!

Already reviewed but forgot to attach a pic. Love these shoes and this style, in particular!

I call these my "super shoes." While these may look a bit dorky, they are absolutely my go-to summer hiking/adventuring shoes. This is my second pair in like 7 years. They maintain arch support, they're waterproof, and best of all they're close-toed sandals. As a clumsy person, I can't say enough about how much I love the closed toe aspect of these shoes. They double as water shoes, too. I wear a size ten and have a little room in the heel. They are appropriate for any width as the bed is wide but you can get them really tight.

I took another lady's advice...I purchased both the Whisper sandal by Keen and the Venice H2 by Keen. I have a high instep or in other words...a fat foot. I had to return the Whisper sandal. It was too narrow. The Venice H2, on the other hand, fits perfect! Zappos is wonderful with free shipping and returns. Now I will be all set to go to Disney in the fall. Thanks Zappos.

Love! Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned - and very cute too! Lots of compliments. I wear a size 7 1/2, and these fit really well. Initially a little snug, but stretched just a tiny bit to make for a perfect fit.

I owned a pair of Keen Whisper sandals before this, so I knew they'd be comfortable and they were right from the first wearing. I usually take size 11 but my last ones were a little too big, so I ordered a 1/2 size smaller. They felt slightly too small at first, but very soon, they stretched enough to become a perfect fit. They are really comfortable for long walks with my dog! I marked comfort down to 4 stars because I wish the straps were thinner. The sandals get a little warm on hot days.

I wear an 8½ and I ordered a 9, which fit perfectly! I love these shoes. They are comfortable from the second you put them on. I want another color very soon!

I walk a lot and fast on cobblestones. The wide soles provide stability on the uneven surfaces and the covered toe keeps my toes from banging against protrusions. Small pebbles sometimes enter and won't shake out. Shoe seems a bit narrower and shorter than Keens I bought previously. Reviews had mentioned this and I bought half a size larger but the same width. They fit perfectly. Zappos' service was superb as always.
