Boots that an adult can wear without being embarassed.

Rating:****

I am an adult that wears shoes in size 2-4 depending on how they are made. I have been looking for comfortable boots in my size that don't have hearts or flowers or anything on them, I bought these in the navy blue color. Even though they are not the black I had been looking for, they are dark enough to blend well and not draw attention to my feet so this color works just fine. They really are comfortable, just sized a little large and very wide for the size. The only problem I have seen is that the line across the top of the foot where the sock meets the leather can start to feel like it's cutting into your foot after 4 or 5 hours of wear so they are not comfortable to wear all day. I love them.

Love these boots!

Rating:*****
I bought a pair of these for my 1, 2, 6 and 8 year olds. We absolutely love these! Easy to slip on and off even for the 1 year old. Great for apres ski too. We have purchased the blue for the boys and these pinkish ones for the girl. Keens tend to run a tad small but wide. That is why we order up a half size. Plus the fact the kids are still growing and extra room for socks.

Great shoe

Rating:*****
I purchased these for my girls and a couple nephews. The nephews loved them the minute they put them on. They are active boys that don't want to mess with shoes strings. They are easy to get on and off their wider feet. We have not worn them much yet, but I have bought Keen before and am sold on the durability of their products.

Good boot

Rating:****
I bought these for my 3 children, for days with snow on the ground, but not enough to wear their heavy snowboots. They love them! They have the great look and comfort of Keen, but that built-in sock feature keeps out the wind and the snow from their feet and ankles. Bought them already for next winter too!

Great for girls on the go.

Rating:*****
I got those shoes for my daughter. Since the day they've arrived, she won't put another shoe on, unless told otherwise. Her godmother was so thrilled by the design and the fit of them (they wear the same size!) that i had to get her the same ones!!! I'm very happy - thank you!

Great for boys!

Rating:*****
My boys love them, not only because they are really comfortable, but also because they are easy to put on. Besides, they say the shoes are warm and cozy. I am going to get a pair for my girl. Love them and would recommend them to any mother with energetic kids.

Seemed a little big.

Rating:****
I really like Keen shoes so decided to try for my son. He's not so much into the loose/wider fit around the toes, but that's just him, not a fault of Keen. The sock part could be a bit tighter but as is they are super easy to put on.

super comfy shoes

Rating:****
My 6 year old daughter loves these shoes. She says they are super comfortable. She hasn't worn them in the rain yet so I don't know how they'll do if they get wet. The sock part makes it both comfortable and warm.

Nice Shoe

Rating:****
These are great shoes for kids. Easy on/off. Perfect for almost any season. My kids are picky shoe wearers so we usually stick with Keens since they seem to make my kids happiest. Comfy right out of the box.

not so much

Rating:**
I got these boots for my 8 year old daughter. she wears a size 4, but these shoes did not fit her. the seam rubs the top of her foot and made her uncomfortable. it's a nice shoe, but even the correct size may not fit well.

Wrong shoe size

Rating:*
When I ordered I thought I was ordering a 5T, with T for toddler. When shoes arrive there were for a young adult size, not toddler. Will still be sending as Christmas gift and will let my son exchange them.

Not true to size

Rating:**
I got these for my son because he LOVES Keens. However, after trying 2 different sizes [...] I had to send both back because one was WAY to big and the half size smaller was WAY to small...weird

Great fit not enough comfort

Rating:***
I live in Alaska, so the many trips that I make from my garage to the hockey rinks, I feel I need to wear thick socks with these. If you like that, then yes I would recommend these. ( I have the blue pair) I think they look great when paired with blue jeans!

Okay for kids, but...

Rating:***
The knitted top fabric is very loose and will likely stretch-out even further with time. Good for kids who will outgrow them before this becomes a problem. Not so good for adults with small feet trying to save money by wearing kid-sized shoes!
