I bought these last winter and they were amazing. They are really warm and were waterproof in the feet of snow we had. I ended up using them as my snow boots as well as boots I wore with with skirts and pants. They were really comfortable and worth every penny. I only wish Keen would get their sizing standardized. I have several pairs of Keens all in different sizes depending on the shoe.

I ordered these hoping that if I ordered them a size larger than usual I would be able to make them work with my large calves. My calves are around 16-16.5" and this circumference was listed at 15.5". I've had another pair of leather boots that were 15.5" which after some stretching worked for me. In a size 8 the circumference on these was more like 14.5". These, unfortunately, wouldn't even zip past my ankle. They are very cute and with trim calves I'm sure would work very well. I was just hoping that with the elastic and being high quality leather I would be able to get them to stretch to work, but it was not even close. Probably like all high boots, these will work for girls with skinny legs, but athletic calves need not apply. It's too bad because the boots were very cute and seemed well made.

This is the world's best boot! I bought one pair and then bought a second because I want to have a back-up pair in case my first gets worn out.

A short girl's dream come true! Was looking for a sporty boot for Winter. Problem is I'm short so the shaft height of boots cannot be too tall lest they run into the back of my knee (blech). Plus I have "Minnie Mouse" calves (13") and need a boot that will not look sloppy up top. Problem solved. The buckles along the top of the calf makes these boots adjustable, so they work for me and for someone with a more athletic calf. Brilliant. The shorter shaft height is perfect for giving us petite ladies a proportional fit. Plus they are lightweight, supportive, and sleek. It is going to be a good Winter.

I\'ve been looking for an attractive, comfortable boot for 2 years. I finally found the perfect boot. They\'re so cute and feel great. I have a bunion but these boots don\'t bother me.

They fit perfectly out of the box. I didn't have to break them in. I have normal size calves and the extra room was great with jeans. If you have larger calves, you can adjust the width. They are super cute with jeans and with a dress. I've gotten many compliments. I love these boots. I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size bigger. You can never go wrong with Keens. Comfort and style are key.

I think I am in love with these boots! I too, have been searching for an attractive, comfortable, durable boot forever. Add to that that I am also petite and have to find tall boots that are not too tall! My usual 6.5 size fit perfectly, even though my feet are on the wider side (based on previous reviews, I also tried the 7 but it was clearly too big). Note to those who are taking careful note of the shaft height and calf width, these measurements do vary with the boot size. The size 7 boot was about 1/2" taller and definitely wider (sorry, I didn't measure). If I'd needed the 7's I would have had to tighten the buckle a notch. Note that Zappos measurements are for a size 6 boot. (And by the way, for those comparison shoppers out there, these boots are also being sold as the "Made for Walkin' Boot" by a certain purveyor of stylish athletic women's clothing. But they are better bought through Zappos for the ease of free shipping and returns!)

Love them. I have smaller calves so there is a lot of space at the top, but if I tuck in my pants there\'s no problem. I commute by bike and these have been great. Then keep the wind out, have no laces and are styling!

I love my boots! They are extremely comfortable and I can wear them with anything! The compliments I receive on them are endless!

These are splendid. They didn't set off airport security with the buckle, and I got an admiring glance for that from the person scanning. I said, "they're also waterproof and very comfortable!" Good find, and they look good over skinny jeans and with a dress. Best of all, they aren't too big for my stick legs. I had no problem with the size. Keen - always 7 1/2 for me.

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever purchased! I love how they look as well. I have worn them with skirts and dresses and they look great with both! They were out of stock but as soon as they came in Zappos notified me and I received them the following day. They were definitely worth the wait!

Great boot. Looks great with jeans and skirts. Comfortable, wore around Europe for 2 weeks, and worked great in all weather.

I live in Keens and have several styles that I wear all year-round. I have muscular 14.5" calves, and these zipped up fine but they'd be tight if I tucked in my jeans. I'm 5'3" and they reach about three inches under my knee. I usually wear a 7 in Keens, and these are no exception. Size 7 fits me perfectly with medium-thick socks. The footbed is narrower than most Keens, and I wish they had better arch support & the same tread as the Winthrop. But these will look better with a skirt and have slight urban flair. Very cute with rolled-up jeans. Good for a long walk, a day of shopping dinner out or a casual work setting. Once again, Keen comes through!

I finally found a pair of boot that are comfortable to wear all day and that will zip up over my large calves (16 inches around). If you have lg. calves these are the boots for you. I ordered a 1/2 size up as recommended and they are great! I got a lot of compliments on them.

I just got these today. They fit okay--maybe a bit baggy in the ankle area. They are kind of stiff so that ankle could be irritating. I'm not sure if I'll keep them. I do, however, love the way Keen's are wearable from the first minute!

I have only worn these boots twice as the fall is just beginning, but so far I am really loving them. I first ordered the Bern High Boot, with the puff of fur at the top. I had purchased them in a size 8 (I normally wear a 7-7 1/2) and they were way too tight around the calf, which I found strange since I have pretty normal sized calves. In any case, I had to return them because they just didn't fit correctly and decided upon exchanging to go with the Bern Baby Bern in an 8 1/2. The calf area is a much better fit but now there is a bunch of extra room around my ankle and, naturally, a bit more room for my foot to slide around in. The first time I wore them, even with socks, they gave me blisters on my ankle bones. I figure that boots just need some time for breaking in and the second time I wore them, though I walked less, I didn't have the same problem. Despite the somewhat ill-fit, they are lovely boots and just the look I was going for. They look wonderful with jeans tucked in, and now that I have a bit more room I can even wear non-skinny jeans tucked in. They might look a bit strange under jeans though, as they have a bit of bulk and would best be worn with wide-leg pants probably.

Very cute and comfortable. Unfortunately, the circumference of the shaft was too big for my calves. I have slim legs, so while these boots are comfortable and have great buckle details I had to return them.
