Great uppers, soles lasted 2 months,
May 1, 2011 Ellen (WI) - See all my reviews
I was very excited when I purchased these boots. I had been looking high and low for a comfortable, stylish, and simple pair of full grain leather knee high boots. They work very well with casual and going out looks, including both pants and skirts. When I am not wearing them, I kept them zipped up and upright in order to preserve the natural shaping from the uppers, which are great. They broke in very well and keep their shape. However, after only a couple of months of wear (and not wearing every day), the soles cracked. My wonderful $150 boots are useless. The soles are cracked straight across, which will only get worse with more wear. I do not bend my soles in weird, contorted positions, nor do I stuff my boots into a bag, or any other thing that might have forced the toes to bend too far and cause the soles to crack. I am still waiting to hear back from Keen on this matter. Hopefully, they will give me my money back, as if this happened so quickly the first time, I am not sure I'd...Read more

Nice but not for athletic calves,
September 11, 2010 Kendra - See all my reviews
I ordered both these and the Kaci boots from Keen. I have large calves in comparison to my small feet but these looked like they might be relatively broad in the calf and couldn't find a circumference listed anywhere. Well, the circumference was about 14-14.5" which is way to small for my calves and the ankle is very narrow. This would have worked if the calf would have been wider but for me it didn't work. The boots are very nice looking but just didn't work for me. I did have a friend with thin calves try them on and they looked great on her but she said they rubbed too much around her ankle. The elastic gore at the top doesn't actually have much give so if you don't have relatively small calves these probably won't work for you but the leather quality and look of the boots was very nice. The Kaci boots by the way fit well (a bit tight at first but soft leather stretched quickly). They are a bit more rugged looking and a lot more casual but very comfortable and warm.

Warm, Comfortable And Cute,
December 14, 2010 Chimichurri (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
I searched high and low for a comfortable pair of well made winter boots. It was a full on hunt that turned out to be more difficult than I expected. After checking out various places, I settled on these. My dilemma was finding a good pair of leather boots that were cute, warm and comfortable. These happen to be cute, warm and comfortable!
They are also true to size. I read there may be some sizing issues but that wasn't the case for me. I actually found the calf to be roomy and I'm no waif. I was afraid of having the leather stretch out so I bought my actual size and they worked out great, even with thicker socks - which by the way, are not necessary with these.
I went with the black ones but Keen offers a red pair that are adorable. Overall, I'm thrilled with these and find myself putting them on everyday. Maybe if they work out, I'll spring for the red ones too. I'll have to see what damage the Holidays do to my wallet first though.
Oh, and my 4...Read more
