Customer Reviews KEEN Bern Baby Bern Boot

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.

I adore these boots. They keep me warm and dry from toe to calf in the cold and crazy autumn winds. I can wear them all day long without my feet aching, which is saying a lot. Two years ago I had collapsing arches after wearing cheap, no support shoes, so the fact that I can walk around in these boots all day long without pain will make me a loyal Keen customer. I've also received quite a few compliments on how they look. I like that the sole isn't as chunky as on other styles. I have not had any issues with bad traction with these boots.

A very comfortable boot! I've worn them a few times so far and no blisters. That's a good thing! I would say they're on the casual side, but you can walk in them for long period of time if you had to. I love the color and find they go with a lot of other colors in my wardrobe. I got the 8.5, which is perfect because that's what I am. I have thick calves and they're not tight. Bonus!

These boots were exactly what I wanted. I love them. I have a high arch so I need to get an insert. Otherwise I was very happy with the width. I have wide feet also. The beautiful leather stretches a little which is good.

I am wearing this boot right now at 2:11 am; it has been on my feet since about 8 am yesterday and my feet still feel great. However, I had to buy a size larger than my true size to achieve this with a medium thickness wool sock. I usually wear 10 wide. I bought this same boot in a lower height in a ten, and it fit fine over stockings or tights, but the first time I tried to wear a sock, I couldn't even put my foot into it. So I ordered the 11 and it is perfect. I haven't had any trouble with slipping but I admit I haven't worn them in icy conditions yet. I have this boot in Forest Night and Oak and like both colors. I heard they were made in purple and since I have a purple coat, I searched the net and finally found a site that still has them. That's how much I like them. I have been wearing them to work with tights and above the knee skirts and have received compliments. Also, I have 17" calves, and at least in this large size, they zip up fine. After a few days of wear I was even able to zip them over jeans.

I have really hard feet to fit. It is difficult to find something comfortable for my long skinny feet, and I just had surgery on both feet. These boots are the best ever! They are so cushioned and the leather doesn't sag around my ankles. No break in period whatsoever. I have skinny calves and ankles, and these boots did gape a bit around the top. But, because the leather is stiff (not in an uncomfortable way, just in a tailored way), it doesn't look bad at all. They certainly aren't as hot as patent leather stiletto boots, but that's the price you pay for comfort. I am ordering them in another color now.
