Customer Reviews KEEN Bern Baby Bern Boot

I love this boot, the color the look and immediately comfortable. The outside is of real nice looking leather. Very disappointed with the liner which is synthetic and of a stiff material which does not breathe. I imagine with the correct knee high sock this may alleviate the sweatiness but really question keeping them because in cold snowy climate I would prefer the liner to have some moisture wicking/breathable qualities. I will try with a moisture wicking knee hi sock.

I hate to give these boots up but I need something dressier for work. They ran true to size, the dark green was beautiful and the overall quality exceptional. I recently bought a pair of Keen shoes with a strap and I could not be happier. I wore them all day the first day and did not want to take them off! Seriously. And I usually have a hard time finding shoes that fit. I will be looking at Keens first from now on.

I have owned these boots for two years and have loved them. They are incredibly warm and comfortable, but most of all they are cute. I have had so many friends ask me what kind of boots they are because they want them. They do lack traction in snow and ice. Unfortunately, the zipper is tearing away from the boot and they are falling apart! I am so disappointed in the craftsmanship of these!

I love these boots! They're really comfortable and waterproof and I love the colour. The Huntsman Green is really nice. I got a half size up because I usually do that with boots so I can wear big socks- but I didn't need to do that I don't think. They're a little loose in the ankle. I still think they're great though.

I love these boots! I took them out of the box and walked 1 mile straight to work without any problems. They are very comfortable and are versatile enough to wear with jeans or skirts. My only complaint is that they are taller than I expected. I am about 5'2" and they are almost to my knee rather than being mid-calf. They are also a little bit wide around my calf, but boot socks have helped with that. Overall, I would highly recommend. I have received numerous compliments on them.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis, and it can be hard to find comfortable shoes. These were comfortable from the moment I put them on and remained comfortable for an evening of walking. I don't know if they would hold up for a whole day of standing/walking, but I'm happy with them so far. One drawback: I wish the opening at the top were a little more narrow - the buckles are really for show; it didn't look right when I tried to tighten them. For people with wide calves, this shouldn't be a problem, though.

What can I say? These boots are the 13th pair of Keens I added to my closet... and I love them as well! These are great casual boots, very cute with tights and a fun dress. They are very warm and comfortable. I often find Keens to run a half size small, but these are true to size.

I was a little skeptical after reading the reviews but I have known Keen to be a reliable and good shoe, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did. My feet are very wide so to accommodate, I ordered a half size up. At first, they were a little tight and I couldn't zip the boot all the way up past my calves. I took the advice of one of the reviewers and just gave it time. I spend a day breaking them in just by walking around the house in them. Sure enough, it was all I needed to do. They fit perfectly now. They are the most comfortable boot that I think I've ever owned. I work with children full time so it's important to have good shoes that I can move in (and quickly if need be!). These boots are just great! I wished I had ordered them in the oak color though.

I really wanted to love those boots, but ended up hating them the minute I put them on. The circumference (15.5") was too way too wide for me, but that's my mistake. They looked more like plastic than leather. The material was so thin that I could see my feet bone. The shaft lining is very, very thin. And they felt narrower than marked. Too bad. I really like Keen. But those were not for me. To be fair, I've been wearing the same pair of Dansko boots for four years and nothing will ever come close to the comfort and the warmth of the shaft "cushioning." Too bad they discontinued them (probably because they last too long). I'll try Merrell Captiva next, without much conviction. Bottom line: for women with thin feet and large calves who don't mind the look of matte plastic rain boots.

My usual size is an 8, however this boot was too tight across the top of my foot to be comfortable, nice looking leather and finish to this boot.

Beautiful and very comfortable! I did a college campus tour with my daughter the first time I wore them, and they were great. The olive color is very neutral and beautiful.

I have been trying to find the "perfect" pair of black boots since last winter and I think I finally did. They are versatile enough to be dressed up or down, extremely comfortable, and weatherproof. I also receive compliments every time I wear them.

Love the style but let's be honest: this "forest night" boot is GREEN. On my computer screen, it looks brown, but I got my pair today and they are dark green. Sizing: The 39 is narrower than a Dansko Professional 39. I have wide feet and big-toe issues, so I think a 40 will fit just right and allow for moderately thick socks. I am sad to give this beautiful pair of boots the boot, but the color and the size don't work for me.

I bought these boots for a recent trip to Europe. They are perfect! They are so comfortable that I wore them as we walked all over Paris and the countryside. Having the additional benefit of being waterproof was great as we had a number of very rainy days and my feet stayed warm and dry. Plus they are cute!

I ordered these in the purplie color (an excellent neutral, by the way) and prayed they would fit. I have very difficult, very wide feet with bunions, as well as athletic calves. I ordered a 9.5, which is what I get in all Keens. Well, they do fit, but are tight & snug everywhere. I am wearing them around the house to see if they'll loosen up (as some reviewers have suggested)...and I must say I am already noticing some loosening, although it could just be wishful thinking on my part. Because I really do love these boots, as they feel as if they'll be very supportive once broken in (and I need lots of support, since I am on my feet all day). They are very well made, so the quality is top-notch. Love how they look too (but I wish they were taller; I am only 5'4" and they are a good 2 inches below my knee). I'll post again if they loosen up enough for me to keep. Meanwhile I am thinking about ordering another pair in the black, this time trying a size 10? I've never worn a 10 in anything, so we will see.

These boots are absolutely great! I've had double bunion surgery in the past and basically have a very hard time finding comfortable shoes or boots. These are the nicest-looking casual boots I've found. They look really cute with skinny jeans and will look great with skirts as well. I'm 100% happy with them!

Forest Night is the color I purchased and I loved everything about it except that the lining color is a light tan which ever so slightly peaks out of the top of the boot and is really noticeable especially when wearing with dark jeans. I ended up returning them and buying the same boot in black (with black lining).

Heavenly! I wear a 8 1/2. I ordered a 9 based on the reviews I read. They are perfect. My calves are 16" and they are perfect. Usually boots are so tight in the calves. These are comfortable out of the box! My foot is normal width to slightly narrow. If you have Wide feet, these may not work for you. I've seen more expensive boots that didn't even compare to the quality of these. Very nice leather and quality inside and out! You will love them!

I have these in black as well. I found them so comfortable that I had to get a 2nd pair.

Ordered a 10 which is my size, it definitely fits well. My heel lifts a little bit more than I want it to, but a 9 1/2 I think would be too snug. The only thing I don't like is that this is my second day wearing them, and I scuffed the side near my toe. The outside is plastic, so therefore the plastic coating rubbed off and now there is a small grey area. Only noticeable to me (for now), but quite annoying. They clearly aren't meant for every day usage (which I wanted to wear them for). Can't return them now; I may just invest in a sharpie to cover anything that scuffs off. Super cute (I got them in black) and since they're Keen's they are comfortable with no issues.

The fit was good until I tried to zip them up, I have a 14.5" calf and this boot was too tight (bare skin), even after unbuckling sides. I could not get them zipped up all the way. I liked the quality and style for a waterproof motorcycle boot, I just need to order a larger size.

Same problem as the other Keen boots I ordered, too tight across the foot. The boot itself is awesome, I wanted to keep them so bad and kept hoping if I wore them around the house long enough they would losen up but alas I had to give up and send them back. Hopefully someday keen will recognise the tall ladies with big feet.

I work as a bank teller and stand on my feet 8+ hours a day. I have had this job for 17 yrs, and am particular about comfortable shoes. I am telling you, these are fabulous! No sore feet when I wear these boots. Wish I could afford a black pair as well. (I bought the brown!)

Love the look and feel of the Bern Baby Bern. The calves are a bit wide at the top, but my calves are muscular so the fit suits me well. I ordered the Forest Night color and it's an amazing neutral that works well with a wide range of outfits and colors. The boots were super comfortable out of the box. I wore them all day hiking around a farm and then into the city for dinner. Really happy with my purchase!

Love these boots! I ordered them originally because I thought they were grey, and I know anything Keen is fabulous. Well, had I paid better attention to the color they named the boots (Forest), I would have realized they were green (duh!). It took me a few days to decide if they would match enough of my clothes. I finally decided they would and kept them. They are just fabulous. Very stylish and oh so comfortable. I did have to order up a half size, so a 7.5, instead of my normal size 7.
