I'm a girl who loves to wear 4-inch platforms. I hate flat shoes. When these shoes were first recommended to me, I scoffed at how low they were. And, to be honest, they aren't the prettiest shoes you'll ever own. But, no joke... once you put them on, you will never want to take them off. I bought them in blue, and I wore them all last summer and well into the fall. If I thought I could get away with wearing them with socks for the winter, I would (and I hate people who wear socks with sandals).

These were great for our vacation last year, which was nothing but walking, walking, walking. Not one blister! They keep your feet cool and dry with no chafing. The rubber front is great for clumsy people like me who trip a lot... no stubbed toes!

I wear them when I take the dog to the river. I can go right in with her. Walking on the slippery rocks is a breeze because of the traction. When you come out, just shake off the excess water, and they dry pretty quickly.

They might seem pricey, but I would gladly pay twice as much as I did for these seriously awesome shoes. The looks have grown on me, too. I get compliments on them everywhere I go. And I tell everyone I can how amazing these shoes are. My husband mocks me that I sound like I work for them or should be their spokesperson. Hey, powers-that-be at Keen, give me more shoes and I'll be your spokesperson!!!

The only negative thing I have found about them is the weird foot tan I had all summer from wearing them so much. But, it's not like I ever had on another pair of shoes for anyone to notice!!

OH another thing... you can throw them in the washing machine!! I've washed them a few times now after trips to the river. They come out looking like the day you bought them.

Pros: durable, breathes well, lightweight, comfortable, washable

Cons: foot tan, you may never want to wear another shoe again

Buy these shoes, you won't regret it!

I own 3 pairs of Keens. They are the Keen Jamestown, Keen Venice H2, and Keen Newport H2. In my opinion, there are no shoes out there that can compare to Keen. This is quality at its best! All three pairs are comfortable and never need a break in period. I'm almost unaware that I'm wearing them! They go from hiking and running to trips to the mall or grocery store. Like I said, treat yourself to a pair, they are fantastic. Make sure you order a half size up as they tend to run a little small. Enjoy!

i usually have problems finding shoes that fit - usually i get scratches and scabs at least in the beginnig until the shoes mold into the feet. well, keens are a different story. these shoes are amazing. i bought them for a trip throughout asia, and i literally lived in them for months, and didn't want to take them off. they're so sturdy and waterpfroof - perfect on the road, from cities and walking, climbing, swimming, caves and hiking to rainy days and shower stalls. and they breathe - so nasty sweaty feet are a thing of the past. the shoe is designed for constant foot support. i really can't praise them enough. now i'm getting another pair, because my first ones were STOLEN(!!) in laos outside of a guesthouse.

The Venice H2 style of the Keen selection is a delight. Not only do they offer several color combinations, but the styling is so practical, so comfortable, and so..."hip" for a lack of a better term.

How the insole cradles the foot has to be experienced. The odor controls, the cinch up "lacing," the protective rubber toe guard which blends in with the styling, the over all light-weightedness...are all features to die for.

The Keen is an ideal indoor-outdoor casual shoe for home, garden, beach, shopping, or restauranteuring.

These are SUPER comfy! I really love them! Only bad part is they make your feet stink.

I do like these shoes a lot--they're great for gardening, hiking, biking, running on the treadmill, etc. They don't have quite as much arch support as my Birkenstocks, which was a bit of a disappointment, but I'm finding my feet don't ache at the end of the day either, so it must be just enough support for my high arches. And it was kind of hard to run in my Birkenstocks--though I did it--because I'm a dork :). It's just that I'm not a tennis shoe person, at all. So getting used to the closed in feeling of the Keens may take awhile. My biggest complaint about them is that the synthetic material of the footbed makes me feel so hot. I sweat quite a bit with these, which has never been an issue for me before. I don't sweat as long as I'm moving but as soon as I'm still, I do. So that's my #1 problem with these, and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it. Also, definitely order a half size up from normal with the Venice.

Thank you for replacing my first pair of Vensie H2. Unfortunately the
second pair also turns my toes black. The fabric lining to toe cup is
NOT colorfast. Everytime I wear them they turn my toes black and the black does NOT wash off in the shower. This is a major problem. Carol Wissolik

Love the shoe itself. Comfortable, waterproof, stylish (?) and functional. The issue is that the sizing is not consistent between all of the Keen shoes. I have a different pair of Keens in the same size and those shoes are loose. The Venice H2 pair is snug but not yet to the point of being too small.
Overall, I love the shoes and would recommend them to others with the caveat that one must think about sizing up a bit.

Both my girlfriend and I have these sandals and find them to be perfect for hiking and beach wear. They dry quickly and purge sand easily. We hiked a 15 mile rugged trail through sand, water, and rock and these worked perfectly. The footbed is shaped and gives excellent latertal support.

Took my first pair of these with me on vacation & truly would not have needed any other shoes. (Terrain included streets, beaches, rocks) My feet stayed very comfortable, they are rugged, and very easy to keep clean. Pretty cute colors also. These are very much worth the price, had previously tried another brand but these are MUCH more comfortable.
