These are just great sandals. They allow more air circulation than the Newports, but are still very stable and comfortable. They don't run quite as small as most Keen sandals, so if you need them to be tight on your feet (e.g., doing a lot of hiking, being in rivers or going through mud) you probably don't want to up-size. Otherwise, they can easily be tightened. If you know that you are going to frequently be getting them wet, I'd consider the Venice H2.

Absolutely the best sandals I've ever owned. Much lighter and waaayyy more comfortable than past Sandals. Since I can't keep my toes intact on approach hikes, these are an excellent choice.
Thanks Keen.

The Venice is very good. The sole is comfortable and the uppers firm but soft to the skin. I use both the Keen and Teva. The foot moved a little on the sole in the Keen, but the uppers did not rub in any way. The Teva Wraptor holds the foot in place a touch better, but overall the Keen Venice is better as the sole is a slight bit larger for the stance one takes. I used the Keen on the beach and in the water, around town, all situations great.

I've had a pair of Newports for a long time and decided to get another pair of Keen sandals. These are great, they are lighter than the Newports but with all the support, very comfortable right off the bat, and are well made. Don't hesitate to buy, you won't be dissapointed.

They are ultra comfortable and after a full year of wear and tear there is no color fade and the treads show no wear. I have not been gentle on them! For those asking, yes I have and do wear them with socks! Pacific Northwest! We do that here.

Good sandal. It’s comfortable. I consistently wear a size 10 and after reading other reviews/recommendations I purchased size 10.5. It fits well. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Very happy with this purchase. Great sandals so far.

My husband loves these shoes so much that he ordered three pairs.

stylish, comfortable and breathable but ready for action; just be cautious if you have low riding ankles as the design will result in some temporary irritation until worn in

This is the 2nd pair of Keen Sandals I have owned, and the first of the Venice style. I much prefer the Venice to the original. It's lighter and more comfortable but still quite secure on my foot. The delivery by this site was quite speedy as well.

The best sandal by far I have yet owned. Only two issues, footbed gets stinky after some use. And it takes some time for the sandal to fully dry. The h2 model would be better if you are in and out of the water.

Splashing around the water last weeked, this is THE shoe, comfortabel and drys quickly, only drawback, the fit seemed too loose, so I kept cranking it tighter......

so comfortable!
perfect sandal for heavy duty and light!

I love these as much as I love my other Keens. Very comfortable. Thinking about getting another pair for when I wear the first pair out.

great sandel....can't wait to wear them on my trip......great service

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves them. Wears them daily and we both wear keens when we are mountain bike riding. The most comfortable sandals you'll ever put on!
