Keen Women's Shelby High Casual Boot

 (3 customer reviews)

I actually visited a Keen store the other day to try on a different pair of boots - and on a whim - tried these on in brown as well (the store didn't have black, so I wound up buying the black for a substantially better price here on Amazon - sorry Keen!) and LOVED them. I was originally looking at the Silverton boot because I didn't think this boot was going to zip over my gigantic hiking calves. Turns out, they BOTH fit, just about perfectly. I liked the styling on this boot substantially more, too.

What do I love about this boot? First of all? Waterproof. I live in Portland, OR and I walk around the city a LOT - so having a boot I can wear, regardless of weather, is awesome. I have another pair of black leather knee-high boots, but they have heels, and I really wanted a flat pair for more daily use - and these TOTALLY fit that bill! They're Keens, so they're very comfortable, and wide enough for my feet, too. I LOVE the more rugged sole of these, which will come in handy...Read more

I tried to look at every review i could find before deciding on getting this boot and no-one mentioned that it runs small! which is why I stayed away from the Silverton. My foot measures 27cm and I usually go for a US11, EU 42 or an AU11 (for instance sorell boots fit perfectly). But in this boot I would need a size 12 even though the label says 28cm (i thought i'd be swimming in it..but no), the size is slightly better without the removable sole in but then its just really hard on the foot and thats not what I got a Keen shoe for... I want comfort.
On other features, the color is nice (potting soil/shitake), the leather is quite scratched looking but maybe thats just the rugged style.
It is durable looking and waterproof looking.
This is/was my first pair of Keen shoes so maybe i'm missing the point or is there a special way to wear them? For me being able to wear them right out of the box is essential and sadly this pair of boots would not allow for that.

I love this boot. I will be purchasing it in more colors when it goes on sale! I have a wide foot and a wide short calf and these boots fit very well.
