My husband loves them. They're are very comfortable for hiking or strolling in the city but tend to catch sand and small rocks at the beach. He did laugh when the tiny crabs washed into his sandals and then scurried out when the next wave washed over them. He's had Keens before so we knew to order up half a size. The foot bed is identical for all their shoes so if he was comfortable in one, he knew he would be comfortable in the rest. He also likes the toe protector.

I bought these for my 30 year old son to replace the 2 year old Keen Newports he was still wearing. He wears down the outsides of the soles (just like I do) so I inspected them and realized it was time for new ones. He has metal rods in his leg and ankle and has to be careful with footwear. Keen are the only sandals he's found that do not hurt and that offer enough support. He just loves his new Venice sandals in black! They are a great looking and good quality shoe and worth every penny!!!

I have diabetes and my wife got tired of me stubbing my toes in the house. She bought these for me to wear in lieu of slippers since they slip on but can be tightened quickly, and protect my toes. I wear them all the time. Only problem: tried them for a long walk without socks and one of my little toes got rubbed raw around the nail. NOT a good thing for a diabetic. I'll continue to wear them with socks, but had hoped to use them instead of sandals when it finally warms up in Seattle (if ever). My kids will also love a pair of these and luckily they do offer everyone men, women and kids.

Ordered Charcoal. In the picture it was a nice grayish shoe. The shoe we received was a deep green. I thought the wrong shoe was sent. Called and they said yes the charcoal is green. Was not happy even the picture looked like a nice deep gray not this green. Colors were not even close that it would have been hard to tell in picture. Very different. Ordered shoe in black. Fits like a glove. Shoe was different color than in picture. Called thinking wrong shoe was ordered. When I found out it was a picture and color issue decided to order another color. Had ordered shoes for vacation. Was now upset because when they say next day service that does not include weekends. With all the shipping options this was hard to believe. Once I was on the line with a manager he worked out a great win/win. Shipped shoes to vacation destination.

I wear these to work, play you name it. I find they fit into every place I feel the need to go. They even made it a wedding once (it was on the beach, but still). The most comfortable shoe I've ever worn and this coming from a diehard Doc Marten sandal guy. If you don't buy them you'll never know. If you do buy them, you'll never give them up. What are you doing still reading this.... buy them NOW! You can buy me a drink later.

I wore my first pair every day of the summer and whenever I wasn't at work for 2 1/2 years. I only replaced them because the sole was wearing (though after what I put them through, I'm not surprised). Soon after I bought them, I wore them for an all-night walk-a-thon in support of cancer research. I must have walked 20 miles; no blisters, no discomfort, nothing bad at all! Not all Keens are equal, though- the Tijuana's are difficult to put on and flat. These have good arches, are easy to slip on and off, easy to adjust, and are secure. I am looking forward to buy this for my kids too.

Don't want to scare anyone off, but this is my experience with this particular shoe. While not too short, they are very tight. My foot leans toward thinner and narrow. I did follow the reviews and ordered a 1/2 size larger. If I moved up another 1/2 size, they'd be too long. May not be broken in yet. Color was something-Pearl, which isn't available now. This color was more of a fawn/light taupe color, which does go well with my casual cargo pants and khakis. Inside the left shoe, there is a lining that has a ridge that goes across the ball area of the foot over to the little toe area. It began to dig into my foot terribly. Had to stop wearing them for 2-3 days for the soreness to go away. Bought mole skin to cover and seems to be working. Liked the color too much to send them back...LOL!! But, also because the footbed fits so well on the bottom of my foot except for that ridge. The soles are majorly heavy duty...great for rocky hikes, and a bit stiff when you want a light weight shoe. OK...these shoes were made for the rugged outdoors. Overall I like the open sandal, the great arch support, and the light-colored neutral shade...I have plantars fascitis and must be very careful. I am certain that these shoes will not aggravate the plantar's fascitis. I'll keep wearing and see how they break in. Meanwhile, have been wearing some Merrell water shoes that I ordered from Online Shoes. They are more light weight. Really like the convenience of ordering online. I would recommend these shoes because they may be variable in sizing and you'll just have to order and see how they fit you.
