I've had a pair of Newport style Keens for years and really enjoy wearing them. This is my first time trying Venetian style and I really like them. They have more headroom in the straps to keep my feet cooler in warm weather. The midsole provides excellent arch support and is comfortable to wear all day long. The toe cap is made of durable rubber and offers good toe protection. Remember that the toe cap is meant to protect the toes from the front and sides, but not necessarily the top. You can press on the top and pinch your toes fairly easily so they don't protect you much from heavy objects falling on your feet but they do protect your feet well when walking rocky trails. Measure shoe size 9.5 but I chose size 10 to have some breathing room and I'm glad I did. The bungee keeps the sandals snug on the feet so they don't move and I like having a little more room in the toe box. I don't want them to be smaller. I think the "H2" in the product name on ebay is a mistake because Keen uses that name for their polyester upper and leather upper sandals. I found the same sandals on the Keen website and they don't have an H2 in the name. They are very comfortable and very well made. Keen makes great shoes and they are no exception. I will wear many of these!
