Customer Reviews KEEN Bern Baby Bern Boot

I spent a lot of time researching different boot options and finally chose these Keen boots. Overall, I am super impressed with the fit and have no complaints. In the past, I have had issues with my calves being too wide for tall boots but these fit great with room to spare. They have formed to my feet nicely and are super comfortable to wear all day and night. I know some people have commented on the bottom tread but I see no issue with wearing them all winter. I highly recommend purchasing these!

The material is too firm and it does not feel comfortable especially walking up and down the stairs. I love Keen shoes and have owned many of this brand but unfortunately I am returning these.

It is rare that I have bought a pair of Keens that I did not like (and I have many,many shoes). This is no exception. These boots are very comfy from the get go and a little toasty as well. Cute and functional to boot (in so many ways)!

These were difficult boots for sizing. I love the Purple color, and the style, but it took me a few tries to get the size right. I usually wear an 8½, and have always worn 8½ in Keens. When I got the 8½ in these boots I instantly thought it was too small - a part in the toe box was squeezing down on my toe-knuckles and it hurt! I was going to return them and get 9, but then I read a review that said the person wore them for a week straight and by the end they had stretched out to a full size larger! So I wore the 8½ at home all day, and sure enough they stretched out! Then I got the 9 just to try them in case. They were way too roomy in the ankle part, although the toe box was much better. I decided to keep 8½ and take out the Keen insoles, put in my own memory foam insoles. They are fitting perfect now! Other reviews that say the grip on the soles is not good are partially right. They do slide around a tiny bit on carpet, but outside they are plenty grippy. These are cute boots, I highly recommend them. Break them in a little to stretch out the leather and I am sure that you will love them!

These are so darn cute and comfortable. I am sad to say that the fuzzy inside rubs off in a matter of three weeks and turns into a nylon sort of material and then tears through. I had to send them back after wearing them one season and they fell apart. I just got some new ones back thinking they would hold up but, no, three weeks of wear and inside all around the keel is worn down to that nylonish material already. I am sending them back a second time.

I love these boots. They are comfortable, warm, cute and easy to dress up or down. I wear a size 6 or 6½ and went with the 6½. The fit is perfect both for thin or slightly heavy socks. I have worn them both in the fall and in the winter snow so far and my feet have stayed dry and warm.

I've thought about buying these for the last 3 winters and after my cat destroyed my favorite brown boots last winter, I finally ordered them. And I love them! The leather is very nice, and I'm surprised at how nice and warm the leather lining is. They're extremely comfortable and I love the foot shape. I have pretty scrawny calves, so the shaft is a bit big on me -- especially if I'm wearing them with tights, though it's perfect for tucking jeans into. I've found with other pairs of boots that the buckles near the top can catch & tear the hems of skirts, or snag my tights when I cross my legs, but I'm not finding that to be the case at all with these -- the buckles behave themselves quite nicely.

I finally found a boot that would feel comfortable on my tiny ankles and large calves (about 15.5 inches). I always have a problem with other boots with the material bunching up by my ankles but these don't do that. its also wide enough at the calf that I can wear jeans tucked in them. These are fairly stylish, not the cutest but certainly not blocky. They are very comfortable to walk and stand in, and I didn't need to break them in before wearing them all day. I don't plan on wearing thick socks with these boots so I bought my normal size (7.5) and they fit perfectly. The only thing I wish was different about these shoes is if the toe was a little less square and more pointed, but all Keens have this sort of slanted toe look so I knew what I was getting into when I purchased them.

Awesomely comfortable and autumnally cute. This boot is definitely made for those of us with Swiss mountain legs...i.e. sturdy and muscular. It's thrilling to find such a comfortable boot that fits my calves and wide feet. Thank you Keen for realizing that people come in different sizes too and thank you, Zappos, for making online shopping so easy!

I love these boots! My daughter had a pair in black and I liked them so much I ordered a pair for myself in oak. They look great with skinny jeans and I always get compliments when I wear them! I ordered a half size up and they fit great.

I have had these boots for several weeks- they are fairly warm without being super heavy. They are easy and comfortable for walking in, though right now the leather around the ankle is a little stiff and can hurt a little. It seems to be softening, so I imagine it will get better over time. I have gotten several complements about them and love having a black boot that is in between dressy and casual.

I needed to break these in gradually; the first time I wore them I overdid it and ended up with some small blisters. Now they are very comfortable and look great with pants tucked in (which is easy!) and with skirts. I've gotten lots of compliments on them. Nice subtle purple color and very cute style.

Only worn these a couple of times but so far excellent boot. Really comfortable. Wore them all day the first time and no rubbing or blisters. Looks great with black capris or skirt for work. Haven't tried them with jeans yet, but I'm sure they'll be just as cute. Love the slim fit on the calves and height is perfect, just below my knee. I own other Keens and always order half size up. I usually wear 6.5 so ordered a 7 and they are a perfect fit.

They are very comfortable. I have received a lot of compliments on them.

I could not find these boots in stores where I live. I ordered these boots in the Purplie color from the reviews. I am glad I ordered a half size up but the width is good for my extra wide foot. The color is a good neutral that can be worn with brown or black. I have a very muscular calf and with a little tugging got them zipped over my skinny jeans. Very comfortable for walking but a little slouchy in the ankle. I am looking forward to wearing these for many years!

These are gorgeous boots! I'm 5'4" and they are the perfect height. I have pretty wide calves and they fit snugly, but have stretched a bit. Another couple of wears and they'll fit over jeans. I have a normal width foot and they are a little tight on my right foot. They are breaking in quickly though. If you have a wide foot, these are not for you. I bought the purple and couldn't be happier with the color. Very dark and they go with everything. Super cute with knitted boot toppers!

Not a good fit. Sole was extremely hard, inflexible, without traction. Not the norm for Keens. I have narrow feet and I felt these ran a bit narrow, however heel was normal size. Overall boot was stiff. Cute but just not comfy to keep.

Amazing boots! I have been searching for the perfect comfortable, flat, stylish boot and this is it. I've worn them non-stop for the past week and it feels like I've worn them for years, and the compliments do not stop. I love that they are actually "good" for my feet but also fashion-like at the same time. The styling reminds me of a Prada boot and very modern and sleek. I can't say enough great things about this boot, especially for the price.

Tried these on in the store. They are frighteningly slippery on the bottoms. I love Keen shoes, but not sure what the designers were thinking with this one.

I've been searching for the perfect boots (black and dark brown riding boots, preferably) for quite a while now... I think I can finally cross the black pair off my list! These boots feel awesome and look super-cute tucked into skinny jeans. I've had such a hard time finding boots that fit my 16 1/4" calves. Although these claim to be a 15 1/2" circumference, the low-pro elastic goring at the top allows for enough stretch for me to still wear these comfortably. I love the sleek design (the ankle is flatteringly narrow, not bulky or slouchy) and the buckles add a bit of style. Very comfortable footbed, especially for my slightly wide feet. They're waterproof, too? I'm sold!

Sturdy, well-made, great in inclement weather.

Love these boots. I actually purchased the purplie ones for myself and these black ones for my sister. We both love them. There was some break in time, but after a couple of wearings these boots basically molded to my feet. They look equally good with jeans and skirts and I've gotten quite a few compliments on them as well. If you're looking for something just a tad funky, but also super comfortable, these are the boots for you!

I'm sorry Keen, I love you guys, but this time you missed the mark. In person, the boot looks like a cross between a rain boot and a combat boot. The nail in the coffin for me is that there isn't even any tread! The bottom is smooth and shiny with a few grooves, but it looks like it doesn't give you any traction at all. I will be returning them.

I was confused by other reviews that stated that the soles on their boots had cracked until I received the boots myself. I expected the Keen sole that is on all my other Keen shoes--a soft rubber sole. But on these boots the sole was a hard, shiny plastic that had no flexibility and ZERO traction/anti-slip. I was very disappointed and am shocked that these are made by Keen. Not even close to the quality I had come to expect from Keen. I ended up keeping the Merrells that I had ordered as the "back-up" pair.

Love these boots! They are perfect for central Oregon winters! They are warm, comfortable, and look great with jeans tucked in or out! I wore them for 11.5 hours yesterday at work and my feet felt great at the end of the day. I got so many compliments on them, even from guys! I had purchased the Keen Shelby boot first and did not like them, they were too chunky, so I got these even though I was not sure if I liked the heel from the pictures, but they turned out to be perfect! And they are Keen so they will last many winters! (I always buy a half size up in Keen, I'm usually a 9 and I get 9.5).
