Venture just about anywhere in Ventura canvas shoes made of all-natural materials—they are Keen's first step toward sustainable footwear. Made from all natural materials including water-based glues to make them sustainable and earth-friendly. Natural canvas uppers make for a comfortable fit; classic Blucher-style lacing secures instep. Canvas-lined heel pockets and linings in the forefeet enhance comfort and moisture control. Patented rubber Toe Guards protect feet and uppers against bumps and abrasion. Natural cork and organic rubber footbeds are shaped to provide cushioning and arch support. Rubber midsoles/outsoles are laid over vulcanized rubber for that old school canvas sneaker look but with a true Keen outsole. Durable, nonmarking carbon rubber outsoles are anti-slip, oil-resistant and offer ample traction. No animal products are found in these shoes making them vegan-friendly.
