This boot is really really comfortable. And I intend to wear them quite hard while working. I am satisfied with how they fit and feel. You MUST order a half size larger. That advice was entirely accurate. My review is short one star because I am worried about how they will hold up. Loosing shine and luster after only two weeks of wear. And they don't quite have the cool Keen toe that most of their boots have. But I do recommend them . Keen makes a good product.

This boot is great! Comfortable, fun to wear, and looks great! The only trouble is the buckles sometimes get caught on the hem of my skirt and pull out a thread! I would buy it again! I really like it!

I really wanted these to work! I wear a 7.5 & that was only size left, I need a 8, they fit but are that little bit too tight that I know I will be sorry later. Over my skinny jeans just a bit too snug and can't fit boot socks. That's what I get for waiting till the end of the season to shop for boots! But did get sale price. I'm 59 and love these boots, but will be wearing the Keen Ferno, which are equally cute and available in size 8 and cheaper! Love Zappos for allowing me to try so many styles and sizes! These boots are cute, comfy, stylish, quality, and I wish they had them in size 8 so I could have them!

Love these boots, very comfortable. Not great for freezing cold days. Boots were delivered same day I received the shipping confirmation email. Great job Zappos!

I love these boots. Very, very comfortable, I can wear them all day and don't need to take them off the second I get home! They look stylish, I can get away with wearing them at work (I'm a teacher), and I've gotten quite a few complements on them.

Really impressed with these boots. I have wider feet and calves and usually find boot shopping difficult, but Zappos and their return policy has made my life so much easier! The boot looks well made and I like the two buckle detail on the side; otherwise the boot would be very simple. The boot would go with pretty much anything and could be dressed up because it is so simple. I haven't had an issue with the tread so far. There isn't much of a tread and I know others have mentioned that there's no grip. So far I haven't slipped yet. Will let you know if it becomes an issue.

Disappointed and these boots are way too wide for my thin-to-average size calves. I bought them as potential "every day" spring boots for an upcoming trip abroad. But the shaft of the boot was enormous on me: the tops gaped out, and my legs were just swimming in them like buckets. That was surprising because so many reviews said they were narrow. Unfortunately the side-buckles are just for show, you can't use them to adjust the width (if you tighten them it folds the leather of the boot shaft and makes things worse). For reference, I wear 7 or 7.5 shoes, am 5'3", 110 pounds. My legs aren't actually all that skinny, but calf- and knee-high boots tend to gape on me. Maybe because my legs are short, so the boots come up higher than they should. The boots felt comfortable in the foot. They seem fairly well made, not perfect, but about in line with the price. The leather is thicker and stiffer than it seemed from the photos. The style is okay and slightly trendy. The side straps aren't as cute in real life, as other reviews mentioned. But I like the modern looking sole and the shape of the foot. For reference, these are about an inch wider and exactly as tall as my La Canadienne Passions. The leather on these is much thicker and stiffer than the LCs. These gape at the top more than the LCs, instead of conforming to the shape of my leg, which may be partly due to the stiffness of the leather. They are more casual than the LCs, less classic, but more on-trend. I'll be returning them because of the gaping width.

Love these boots. My girlfriend bought a pair of Keen boots and raved about them and now I know why. These boots are super comfortable. I got them on Tuesday evening and wore them to work on Wednesday. I work in a large hospital, and I need to be on my feet a lot. No problem with these boots. Not a blister, a chafe or anything. In fact they were so comfortable I wore them all day again on Thursday. This time for nearly twelve hours. I am so glad I purchased them. Just exactly what I was looking for. Even fit my wide calves.

I really wanted to love these boots and my friend raves about them and wore them in Europe as her only pair of shoes for 2 weeks. Sadly I just couldn't get past the bulkiness around the ankle - it feels like there's no support there whatsoever. She loves them though!

I have to say that these are not my favorite boots. It is largely because of the fit around my foot. The shape of the foot area is almost square and it does not gently hug your foot. They are sort of "clunky" to walk in as a result. This is not really because of the length of the foot area but the odd shape of the width. I would have returned them but I wore them for a day and discovered the issues noted. They are also rather stiff.

Excellent quality, I'm on the fence about sending them back. They are super cute, I'm just looking for something a little more professional looking. I also have proportionally small calves, and these boots are just a bit too big around the calf. I'm 5'3 and ordered a 7 1/2. I am normally a 7 1/2 or 8 but decided to order a 1/2 size down hoping the calves would be a bit tighter.

The "forest night" color is an evergreen. I was hoping the green undertone would have been more subtle.

At first I was doubtful, but then these boots grew on me - they get more comfortable and stylish with wear. I like to take walks and I've been able to throw them on and keep dry in cold and wet winter weather. Very versatile - I feel as though this classy boot will last awhile for me! Really enjoying Keen!

I've ordered these boots 2 seasons in a row, love them. If you have thin legs, they are great because you can adjust the buckles to make them fit. I wear them 5-7 days a week! Durable Keens, worth the money.

I love these boots - in fact these are my 2nd pair in 3 years! They are comfortable, wear great, go with so many outfits and yah - I pretty much just love them! Sometimes I fit in size 9 in Keens but I had to get a 9.5 in these and they fit just right.

Super cute boot! I ordered the dark green color and am in love with it. The only thing is that the boot tapers to a pretty wide opening at the top. If you have large calves, these boots will definitely be appropriate. I, unfortunately, have legs like Big Bird, but wear a size 10.5. They fit perfect in the foot (a tiny bit of wiggle room, probably enough space for bigger socks in the winter), but they are huge at the top! They look kind of like rain boots! I just dropped them off at the cobbler to get them taken in for $40. Still a good deal considering how much I got them for on sale. Cute boots, but stick legs beware!

Sadly, I had to return these. They were too narrow and much too small in the calf. I'm not a large woman, but couldn't even zip these up. Bummed because they're so cute!

Did not like these! Love the green color and the styling (though does have the "obnoxious Keen toe" another older review said it didn't have), but the bottoms feel like cheap synthetic material, plus are wobbly. I can't imagine how flat boots could be this unstable. Very uncomfortable (again, soles feel like some sort of plastic). I have worn Keen shoes many years back. I don't feel like these were equal in quality. True to size in a 9. I ended up liking both the Merrell Launch and the Born Sage instead.

Very comfortable right out of the box, and I have 'difficult' feet. I especially like how cushioned the footbed is, I have age-related pain in both my feet due to the wearing out of the 'fat pads' on the bottoms of my feet, but I love to walk, and usually shoes and boots don't provide enough cushion underfoot (only sneakers do). I wear these for hours and my feet don't hurt. True to size.

These boots are beautiful, the "forest night" color is just stunning and a great way to get out of the black/brown cycle. The little buckles and the accent stitching that runs up the front of the boot are fun. Unfortunately, they appear to be designed on a narrower last than Keene shoes-boots have been in my previous experience. So I am extremely sadly will be returning them.

These are really great boots. They can be dressed up or down. The construction and attention to detail assures me they will last for many years. The tread is better for wet/rainy weather vs. snow/ice. The green color is more olive green than they appear online. It is a nice, neutral shade that looks nice with black or brown shades. Maybe the best part is the adjustable buckles that allow you to cinch in the calf. I have 15 inch calves and am just able to zip up the boot (size 9). There is elastic at the top that allows some give, and i anticipate a little stretch in the leather as I break them in.

This boot is delightful. I ordered the size I thought and it fit perfect the first time. Comfortable! I wear them at least 1/2 the week right now. The dark green is beautiful and subtle.

I had been looking for a tall boot that was both stylish and functional. This Keen boot fit the bill perfectly! I was able to hike on an unpaved trail with only minimal slipping due to mud on an incline. I sized up a half size because I have high arches and my socks kept pulling against my toes in my normal size. I do not have tiny calves (I walk and run a lot) and I had no trouble with zipping the boots up.
These boots look great with jeans or skirts. I love the green color as it goes with everything black and brown can be worn with.

I do not like these boots. They are uncomfortable and the leather bunches and rubs at the ankle. I tried to like them, because they are very cute, but I never wear them because of the discomfort.
