Customer Reviews KEEN Bern Baby Bern Boot

First of all, have to say I love Zappos - these boots were on my porch less than 24 hours after placing my order!! It's also so nice to be able to take a chance on something without worrying about getting stuck with return shipping cost if it doesn't work. With my large calves, it's a crapshoot ordering tall boots! Even after reading many reviews, I wasn't sure these would work for me. I am SOOO happy to report that they do, because I absolutely LOVE them! If you order these boots and think they are too tight when you first put them on, please wear them around the house for a few hours and give the leather time to breathe and relax and stretch a bit. Once it does, these boots fit very snugly, but it is a comfortable snug. I initially thought I might only be able to wear them with the thinnest of tights, but I can comfortably wear them over skinny jeans. Beautiful leather, wonderful quality boot. I'm seriously considering ordering another pair in the Forest Night color - can't beat the price for this quality! Others have commented re: the narrow ankle and difficulty getting their foot in the boot. I want to comment on that as well. Another common complaint with boots is bunching or creasing at the ankle (and this, of course, is because the ankle is too wide!). With the very tapered design of this boot, yes, you have to tug to slide your foot into it, but once your foot settles into the boot, it is pure comfort. And no gapping/bunching/creasing at the ankle when you walk because it fits like a glove. Literally. The only other tall boot I have that fits as perfectly as this one is the Merrell Captiva Strap. Another gorgeous boot with the same type of fit. If you have wide calves and average size ankles, I highly recommend either of these boots!

I love these boots. They are wide in toe area and that is where I need extra room. Also nice and warm. Comfortable enough to wear all day.

Love these boots. Comfortable the first time I wore them. My legs are thin so it is nice having the buckle on the side. I tightened them one notch and they are nice & snug without compromising the look of the boot. Casual, yet they look very nice with a skirt too.

Amazingly comfortable boots!!!! I absolutely love these boots. I wore them right out the box to my son's soccer game and there after everywhere else. Its been a week since I have got these boots and I am so happy that finally I found a pair that is not only comfortable but stylish as well. LOVE IT!!!

I bought these for a winter trip to Chicago (I live in California) and I needed some more casual black boots that had a rubber sole. When I first tried them on they were a little stiff, especially in the ankle. But after just one wear, they were great. I walked long and far in the airport and on the city streets and they were so comfortable. I'm wearing them all the time back at home now. Thinking about getting them in brown too. I have what I consider a larger than average calf and they fit great over socks + jeans.

Was really excited when this boot arrived, I love Keen shoes. However, it was a bit small and more narrow than any other Keen I've purchased. Sending it back for a size larger and hoping for the best. I have wide feet (but not calves) and hope that this will work out because the boot is just what I was looking for.

After years of trying to find black boots I like, I finally found them! Should have know they would be from Keen, my favorite brand of shoes. Most of my keens are 9.5, so that is what I ordered, but they were not comfortable at all. I was bummed because I really wanted them to work. Took a chance on some size 10s, and they fit great! They are a bit narrower than all the other Keens I have worn. So, so happy to finally have black boots!

I love these boots, I say it every time I wear them. Very comfortable and practical and I can tuck jeans or slacks inside easily.

These boots are very comfortable! I finally found a pair of boots that is not too large on my calves. My only complaint is that a few people have told me that they look like rain boots. They are great casual boots that you won't mind wearing all day.

If you do a lot of walking these boots are for you. I live in NYC and these boots transition well from casual to urban-dressed-up. I have thin calves, and these are quite snug. Otherwise these were well worth the money.

Love the boots. However, after less than two years they have a broken zipper and cracks in the soles. First time this has ever happened with a pair of Keens. So disappointing!

I have crazy feet. Bunions mean I need a wider toe box and good support, but narrow heels mean I can't do too wide or shoes end up flopping around on me. I also have skinny calves, so boots are particularly hard b/c usually when I find something comfortable enough through the toes, I'm swimming in the calf region. But these Keen boots really do the trick. They are wide enough through the toe box (though I wouldn't categorize the shoe as "wide" per se, just wide enough), and the buckles at calf allow me to cinch in CONSIDERABLY for a nice fit, unlike other "adjustable" boots that only tuck in a fraction of an inch in the calf area. I haven't taken them off for two days--they are extremely comfortable! I love the way they look, too. Stylish in a no-nonsense way, and despite the lovely thick leather, they are VERY utilitarian in cold wet situations. I wear an 8 in sandals, sometimes 8.5, and ordered the 9 for this boot, which fits great. For me, they are a perfect every day kick around boot. Thanks Keen! (and Zappos)!

I have very difficult feet. No flat boot or shoe seems to fit right except gym shoes. I have finally found a pair that work for me! These Keen boots fit like a dream and have a soft, cushiony sole just like a pair of gym shoes. I can walk for hours in these. I love the fantastic service zappos provides, and I highly recommend these boots for those seeking a comfortable yet nice looking boot.

I love Keen! I have a wide foot and they have a wide toe box. These were a bit more narrow then any Keen I have worn but have stretched into the most comfy boots ever. I think I have to get another pair as I wear these every day and perhaps I need another color. Noticed someone mentioned they did not like the sole and thought they would be slippery. Not an issue for me yet and like I said I have been wearing them every day for well over a month in rain and even a bit of snow this week.

This is my first pair of Keens, and I'm so happy with the purchase. I was afraid that they would be bulkly-looking on my size 10 foot, when they actually have quite the opposite affect. I don't regret the purchase and would buy them again and again.

I've been looking for leather knee-high flat boots that can withstand the elements and that I can wear as an alternative to my dressier boots on rainy mucky days. (Living in NC I don't need winter boots!) These Keen boots fit the bill. The ankle was a little stiff but after a few hours of wearing it's starting to give. Otherwise these boots need no break-in. Love that I can dress them up or down, fall through spring. I wear a 7 1/2, normal width and calf; 7 1/2 fits with thicker knee socks, fits well through calf. No problem with traction so far, either. Love them!

This is the best boot I have ever owned. I have tried many pairs of "cute" boots with heels, details, style etc. and my feet are always freezing. However, big, clunky snow boots are not always the desired style. These boots are the perfect marriage of style, warmth and comfort. I can wear these boots all day! The fit is true to size, color is grand too. Highly recommend these boots.

These boots are comfortable and toasty warm. I love them for all those long cold dog walks on city sidewalks in the middle of winter. We have lots of slush, ice and snow and these boots hold up well in the damp wintery conditions.

Finally found a boot that works! I have bunions and "athletic" calves, so finding the right boot has been difficult. I've wanted a pair I could wear with skinny jeans and this is it. They were comfortable right out of the box. They were a little tough to zip the first time, but after they loosened up, they zip right up. So happy with these boots!

I searched a long time before settling on these. They are stylish and comfortable. I appreciate the buckle to make the calf a little tighter. My only complaint is that the cinnamon color boots scuff easily.

My lady, Kristin, just loves these boots. This is her second pair. She refuses to go into the winter season without them. That, plus your service makes the holiday season very easy.

I just got these boots and love them. They are stylish and comfortable. I love that they can be adjusted because I have skinny calves and it is hard to find boots that fit. They do run a tad big. I normally wear a 9 and they fit, as did the 8 1/2. In the long run I went with the 9 since socks are a little thicker in the winter. I also have several friends with the same boots who have been very happy with them also in various colors.

I've been a fan of Keen for over 5 years and these boots do not disappoint. They are a little more roomy than other styles in the same size but that means thicker socks for the winter. Very Comfortable!

I love everything about them, the color, comfort, sizing, details. You can dress them up a little, or go more casual. I've gone hiking for hours in the woods in them and wear them to work. I wasn't sure the treads would be sufficient in all sorts of terrain but I've had no problems with slipping.
