There are those days when you wish to have a sneaker-type shoe to keep you moving, but the average sneaker is verboten in the work place. These are the perfect sneaker incognito. They look 'sporting' and 'athletic' but with just enough formality to not attract the corporate fashion police. They wear great, require no break-in time, and for that twelve-hour day standing on the hard surface, they remain supportive. Kudos to Keen.

Used it on a few hikes this far, good support and not too hot of show for summer hikes. The toe box is not the typical keen shape so beware when you are looking if you need that.

I love how comfortable these shoes are. Right out of the box, they just fit perfect and felt great on. I have put several miles on them and they are still my most favorite trail shoes that I have ever owned. These shoes are so light that I just don't notice them, which makes those longer hikes much more enjoyable. The Konnect fit system works great keeping the shoe from sliding at the heel, no matter what angle you are walking. I really like the waterproof feature, to keep those feet dry when the trail gets wet. I am very pleased with these shoes and recommend them to anyone looking for a great looking, lightweight, and comfortable trail shoe.

First I will say I'm not sure I would be a fan of any low top hiking boots which is what these are essentially (I think). The "konnectfit" seems like a gimmick and I don't see that it actually does anything. It seems to be more ornamental than functional. These shoes made me more prone to roll my ankle. The taller and stiffer hiking style sole combined with no ankle support had me rolling my ankle more than usual. These are slightly heavier and hotter than I would like for a low top. The only time I would wear a low top over a high top would be summer and due to the other issues I don't see these fitting anywhere in my gear needs.

These shoes are comfortable. My feet feel supported in all areas. Ive actually never had ahoes that fit this well. The 10.5 size fits exactly as it should. I feel like someone spent a lot of time designing this shoe. The style is dope. I have a urban style even though I love outdoors... This style is perfect. Im a DJ and music artist and I will wear these shoes on stage even. Its perfect for long days walking and moving gear followed with lots of jumping sround on stage. I love these shoes. I wamt to try more.

Shoe is terrible overall. The tounge of the shoe slides all over the place, the inner tip of the toe of the shoe rubbed my toes so bad that I have to double my socks plus toe cushions. Replaced the inserts that broke down flat after 30 days, overall the shoe does not feel broke in, I wear size 14 shoe and it is super snug & extremely uncomfortable, tossing them in the get rid of shoe bag!! Do not waste your money PLEASE.. pure garbage product.

I own several KEEN products and these as good as the others. The shoe fits great and was very easy to break in

It's been interesting to read other reviews for these shoes, because some of them are quite different from my experience. I'm relatively new to Keen, having first given them a try when I happened upon a pair of clearance shoes in my size. Sizing is always a challenge for me, because 10.5 is often a smidge too long, but 10 is definitely too short. I also have wide feet, so my default is to go with a wide offering, if there is one. That first pair of clearance Keens fit *perfectly* in a 10.5 wide, so I thought I had finally found the perfect brand fit. Unfortunately, my next Keen purchase, the Targhee EXP Mid, was a disaster for me. Despite ordering the same size as I had for my first pair of Keens, the Targhees were so big in comparison that I have to tighten the shoelaces so tight to keep them from sliding that I'm practically cutting off circulation. (And in a total rookie move, I ordered 2 pairs of those Targhees, so I'll be paying for that mistake for awhile!) I was in Portland recently, near the Keen flagship, so we stopped in and saw the Venture. Very impressive looking shoe. It doesn't come in wide, but I decided to try it anyway. I was very surprised to find the toebox felt as wide to me as some "wide" shoes. Certainly not the narrow fit I was expecting. Best of all, they feel light as a feather compared to the Targhee EXP Mid. I tried wearing the Venture around the office, just to break them in a bit. But they don't breathe well enough to feel super comfortable while sitting at a desk. So I'll likely relegate them strictly to outdoor duty. But, all in all, very pleased with the purchase, especially when compared with my most recent Keen experience.

I have taken them hiking and in heavy rain. Feet stayed dry and comfortable. They are pricey but very impressed so far.
