blister-free hiking and excercising

By sachenowet2139355 Ranked #47 - Women's Technical Sandals May 21, 2008

I've been wearing my Venice H2s nearly daily for the past six weeks. Within days, they quickly became my favorite pair for their sheer comfort: my feet are well-protected over any terrain, I can splash through puddles without a worry, and I can still enjoy the open, airy feeling of sandals.

As a woman with a size 10.5 foot, I often have to make do with too-large size 11s or too-snug 10s. I'd become downright used to suffering blisters after a long walk or hike in athletic shoes, but haven't had a single sore spot with these Venice H2s. I can't tell you how amazed I am -- and how much more active. I'm particularly pleasantly surprised at how suitable these are to wear on the elliptical or treadmill. My usual athletic shoes have been shoved to the back of the closet.

I haven't noticed the heat-retention mentioned in other reviews; my feet may be slightly sweaty after 30+ minutes of activity, but it's nothing worse than what I'd experience wearing any other shoe. After a month and a half of heavy use, including hiking outdoors, walking through the city where I live, and some gardening, my Keens are ready for a trip through the washing machine. Other that light soiling, there's been no damage at all to these sandals.
