Customer Reviews KEEN Wilma Lace

These are the best boots I have ever owned. Comfortable, warm and perfect for this Michigan weather. And they are cute.

Awesome boots! Comfortable right out of the box. Kept my feet warm and dry on a long snowshoe hike.

After reading the reviews I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and it worked out well - they fit perfectly. Also per the reviews the boots are a little difficult to pull on. They are fitted around the ankle so it is a little hard to get your foot through that part. Don't try to get them on with really thick socks but the boots are so warm that you won't need them. I always have cold feet but mine were slightly sweating in normal socks in these boots. They are extremely warm and comfortable boots and the minor inconvenience of a little extra tugging to get them on and off is worth it. The style is great and I have had many compliments on them.

I bought these because I wanted some better quality winter boots than my Uggs - and I have been very pleased! I usually wear a size 8, but that was half a size to small, so I sent them back and ordered a new pair in 8.5, who fit perfectly! Sending the other pair back was free and easy. I have used my new boots for walking full days on a five day trip to New York City, and also through snow-filled hikes in Wisconsin, and these boots have loved my feet! They are super warm, comfortable and over average cute looking compared to other nice quality winter boots. So if you are looking for some nice winter boots, you will be pleased with these!

Agree with other reviewers - because of the lace-free nature of this boot they are difficult to get on - but not off and are very comfy and warm. Easy to walk in - they are not clunky. Keep feet warm and dry on hour plus dog-walks in the snow. Gave it 4 stars for comfort only because they really are a pain to get on, but once on - they are great.

I haven't had a chance to wear these boots in the snow yet; I live in rainy country. But of all the boots I tried on, only these felt like I could walk seriously in them. They are Keens so I trust the sole, the construction, and the fit. The laces are peculiar, and will not be easy to cope with, but will fit the boot leg and foot precisely to my delicate little feet. Keens tend to be smaller than the marked size, so I always order a full size larger than my regular shoe size We are headed to a snowy vacation, and I didn't feel confident about wearing my regular (Keen) hiking boots in snow, even with gaiters. Now I hope there is some snow when we get there!

I've been searching high and low for a winter boot that is what I want it to be: comfortable, warm, waterproof.. I live in MN and need boots for function rather than fashion. These seem to do the trick. Keen sizes are hit or miss with me, so I bought 3 sizes to try. I am normally a 7-7.5 in all other shoes, and the 7.5 in these fit perfectly. Not too small, not to big, enough room to wiggle toes. Perfect. Others have said they are hard to get on- not so with me. My foot slips right in, and then I tighten the 'laces.' I am not a huge fan of the elastic lacing system. I may cut those out and swap them for regular laces. The boot shaft is not as tall as I would have liked, but I do like the elastic lace system around the ankle, it lets you tighten the shaft so no snow can fall down your boot. The color on the "magnet/neutral grey" is not like what is pictured, they are a bit darker all around. Overall, if they were a bit taller and had regular laces, I would give these a 10/10. As the are, I would give them a high 8/10 and would definitely recommend them.

These boots do everything. I snowshoed in them all winter and my feet were toasty warm and dry. The only thing I ran into is if you weren't careful adjusting the bungee strap they could bunch around the ankle.

These shoes were extremely comfortable and warm, even on an 18 mile hike through 3-6 inches of snow. The only negative is that they are difficult to get on, potentially leading to the lining splitting apart at a seam. I ordered a half-size larger, and so far it's been better.

This substantial but not too bulky snow boot with Thinsulate has a serious tread. I agree with the other reviewers that it is a challenge to get on (but not off, for some reason); however, once the boot is on, it's extremely comfortable: snug but not tight through the ankle with a roomy toe box. You won't be able to wear thick socks in these boots, but that's what the Thinsulate is for!

This boot is super cute once on... however it is seriously difficult to get my size 8.5 foot down the neck of this boot. Once I pulled, pushed, squeezed and got my foot it, it was very comfortable. I needed my husband's help pulling it off my foot! It needs a zipper in the back for easy in/out. The elastic laces do not open enough for such a long neck. So sad to return as they matched my backpack perfectly. :-)

These boots have the wonderful Keen support, and I like the 2 tone green color. But they are so hard to get on. You really need to order a full size larger than regular shoe size, to accommodate a warm sock, plus getting your foot down into the boot. The laces can't be unfastened. However, once on, they feel great and will be very warm and durable.

I was so hoping this boot would fit perfect, but...I couldn't even get my foot in it! Beautiful looking boot, but I wish I just been able to try it on at least. I take a reg width, 8 1/2.

Like many other people have said. This shoe is just too darn hard to get on. Pity because the rest of it is a great style/fit. Back to browsing for new boots.

These are super comfortable...but impossible to put on! There is no way I could keep these, I tried several times to figure out an easier way to slide them on, but no luck. There is a serious lack in design on these boots. The shaft is way too tall without any give; the laces do not loosen all the way. There is no way to make them looser at the bend in order to get the shoe off. Regrettably, these are going back. Once they are on, they are very comfortable, but there is no way I could get these on every day in the winter, or get them off.

I've loved Keen winter boots so I'm back for a new pair. This was too short and I'm reordering a half size up. Hope that fits accommodating woolly socks!

Shaft way too narrow, making these boots a real pain to get on. Once on, they fit nicely but the shaft has no give (picture indicates bunched up fabric from the pull cords but that isn't the case), so even using a shoe horn they are difficult to get on. I'm a 8.5 med and have thin ankles so definitely needs to be wider to make these easier to slip on and off. Winter is hard enough to gear up for, putting boots on should be easy. I wore them but will try to send back.

I'm a huge Keen fan; I've purchased and adored easily a dozen different Keen styles, including boots, as it's one of few brands that fit my wider foot. I like the look of the Wilma boot but I COULD NOT GET MY FOOT PAST THE OPENING of the boot due to the tightness of the elastic laces. Honestly, I struggled for ten minutes - pushed, pulled, tugged - nothing. So, I'm returning Wilma and bought the Betty II (side zipper!) instead. I have no doubt that this is could be a great boot for others; best of luck getting them on, though.

These boots were fantastically comfortable and I was really excited about them...until I spent two hours out in the cold and my foot became so cold. Now I wasn't standing in snow, icy puddles, or -20 weather, it was a balmy 25 degrees and the cold still seeped into the boots and froze my toes. I was so disappointed in these boots since they were so unbelievably comfortable.

UGH, so frustrated. I found this boot impossible to pull on with socks on. Even with my husband pushing full force, we could not get the boot on to try for sizing. The laces do not come undone so it is impossible to open up the boot. I did get the boot on without socks which is impossible to live with during the winter in Michigan. These are going back and I do not want to risk sizing up and being able to get them over a sock and then the boot being too roomy inside.

The problem with this boot is that you cannot get your foot in with socks on and I don't have a big foot. I could fit my foot in by twisting it sideways without socks on. That defeats the purpose of a snow boot. Too bad because I love Keen, but this one went back.

These are ALMOST great boots. Keen is a fantastic company and has great customer service. These boots run very narrow, not small, but narrow around the top of the foot. I have thin feet so most boots are sloppy in width. These fit perfectly. Problem is the tiny ankle makes you pull on the liner as you force your foot inside. After 4 wears the liner ripped at the top of the heel when I pulled the boot on. Keen refunded and Zappos replaced. Now second pair has done the same thing, after 3 wears. ALMOST a GREAT boot. Hopefully

I bought Keen boots two years ago, and love them, raved how they were the best boots I ever owned, so with high hopes, I bought my replacement the Keen Wilma Lace. I couldn't get my feet in them, the opening was so narrow, and my feet and ankles are small and narrow and it was impossible. I am returning the boots today.

Nice looking boot...I was unable to get my feet into the boot with the bungee laces. Returned!
