Customer Reviews KEEN Wapato Tall WP

The boot is gorgeous, comfy and in style. the color MAGNUM is not as depicted (brown/brown/beige) it is GREY with GREY/LIGHT BLUE lace. Very chick, though.

I love these. Wore them to an outdoor party last week when it was snowing. I lasted 4 hrs and my feet were the only thing warm on me. They fit true to size and are very comfortable.

I have an extremely narrow foot so boot shopping is never fun. While these are not extremely narrow, the do run more narrow than a typical boot. They are functional as well as stylish. I like that my pants can be worn either inside or outside the boot. My Sorel boots are too big to get a pant leg over the top. These will be perfect in the Colorado mountain weather!

I love the look, and the foot bed is well constructed, slipping should be at a minimum. And the styling makes my size 11 not look so large! Not really good for tromping through deep snow though, gusseting only goes up about 1/2 way, any snow deeper than that and you will have wet feet. Over, they look great, feel comfortable.

A couple of other reviewers mentioned that this boot lacks the typical Keen wide toe box, a feature I like on my other Keens, but hope springs eternal, and I've looked pretty hard for a tall lace-up winter boot without a zipper, so I gave these a try. The pointier toe, unfortunately, doesn't really work for me. Almost, but not quite, to my regret. Otherwise, I like them. The rest of the boot is comfortable, and while no snow boot is going to look dainty, these are okay for what they are--sort of subtle, in fact. The gusset beneath the laces stops just above the shoe part of the boot, which would be a concern in deep snow, but I think I'd have them laced tightly enough that it wouldn't be much of a problem. For someone with larger ankles, etc., it might be an issue.

I had to send these back because even though I ordered a half-size up they were narrow. They were also much too long, like several inches. However, they were SO cute and seemed very warm and well made and I really wanted them to fit. If my feet were narrow rather than medium-width, I'm sure these would be favorites.

Really nice, versatile Keen boots. I wear them around town - they're super cute, unlike most snow boots, while snowshoeing, and for sledding. Lightweight, comfortable for walking, and stylish. I was worried that the calf part would be itchy and uncomfortable - nope, the boot upper is comfy too. (And almost too warm!) My only complaint is that they're not as warm as I'd like them to be - when snowshoeing in the cold (10 degrees Fahrenhite) my feet definitely got cold within an hour. But that's not at all shabby. Highly recommended boot. Also, I wear a 10.5 in all my other Keens and sure enough,the 10.5 fits me just fine. So if you have another pair of Keen shoes just follow that sizing.

I struggle with snow boots, living in NYC I want something subtle, cozy, and functional. I ordered a pair of sorels a few years ago but immediately returned them because they felt like clown shoes and I could barely move in them. These are a similar style only much less bulky and not covered in logos. The fur doesn't go as deep into the boot as I would like, only a few inches, but so far my calves are quite toasty! A little difficult to get on and off but I think a zipper would make the boot look cheap.

These boots seemed comfortable, warm, and sturdy. They were also true to size -- I ordered my regular size and they fit. I have a wide foot and was worried about this toe being too narrow but it was not. Ultimately though, they are going back because I decided the lacing and unlacing was going to be too much of a chore. Due to my high arch I had to really loosen just to get my foot in, and it was quite time consuming. I might have lived with it if there were no other option but I decided to keep the North Face Jozie, which slips right on and off and it easy to tie.

All of the reviews stating how stiff these boots are straight out of the box are true. Sure, maybe that all changes after a period of breaking them in, but alas, they did not meet my needs. I just wanted a pair of warm boots for a trip to Lake Tahoe this winter, and although I am certain that these would keep my feet seriously toasty, there is limited ankle movement the boots allow (it is a similar movement as walking in my snowboard boots). So if I was planning to wear these boots in an attempt to help protect my ankles and knees from serious injury while hiking through miles of snow, then I would consider keeping them. As for sizing, I did not find any issues with ordering them in my normal size (8½). As for style, they weren't as cute on me as I imagined they would be, even though I liked the way they looked upon opening the box. And because they are heavy on my legs and feet, I knew I had missed the mark as soon as I put them on. If you are looking for highly durable snow boots and/or live in a climate that requires regular use of protective gear, then these are worth checking-out. But I am still looking...

These are very cute and well constructed (not even close to Payless quality as one other review thought). But they are super super stiff. My heel slipped and they were not comfortable enough to consider keeping despite the cute factor.

I was not impressed with these boot. They looked good on the internet, and when I received them they looked cheap. While I appreciate the faux fur, it was cheap looking/feeling. Also, when I walked, they were awkward to walk in. Stiff, and I would not want to deal with that to break them in. These were just meh for me.

I was unable to really try the shoes enough to give them a proper review. I find that Keens are generally on the wider side but these were super narrow. And the material around the foot was super stiff. The wool insulation is only on the upper part of the shaft - that was disappointing.

Too narrow, unlike other Keens. I am a big Keen fan. I am usually a 6.5D with a very wide instep, but Keens usually fit my feet well. I have sandals, Mary Janes, and hiking boots. I needed good cold-weather walking/snow boots, so I was delighted to discover these boots. I wanted to love them, I really did. But the toe is much narrower than other Keens. My toes were too crunched, and I knew I would regret keeping them -- so back they go. Also, the lace-up style is quite cumbersome, and the boots are extremely stiff and hard to get on/off. I probably would have lived with those issues (if the width were not a problem) because they are cuter than the average snow boots, especially the little furry part on top. But I can envision struggling to take off a cold, wet pair of boots.

These boots are very cute but clunky. I wanted something to wear shopping but these are too heavy and the sole not flexible. They are also hard to get off. If I needed something for outdoors I would keep these. I have other snow boots.

I ordered these because they were so stinking cute, and wanted to look good while I was shoveling snow. They are very stiff, and the area around the ankle bulges out, making it look very clonky. While I am sure they would do the job keeping my feet warm and dry, I would not wear them because of the fit and stiffness.

These boots just arrived so I haven't tested them in the field. I like the look alot! They felt roomy and comfortable when I tried them on. My complaint is that I had to order them 3 times in order to get a pair that was not defective. One had a stain on the suede, another had puckered leather.

These were very stiff. I returned them. I really like keen and pretty much live in them year round. I have a discontinued boot I love and was hoping that these would be similar. Returned them.

These boots are very stiff and they were impossible to get on one of my feet. I had to really push to get my foot in. Also, the shoe tongue did not cover my entire leg. For the money, I was very disappointed.

Disappointment! I love Keen, and have several of their shoes but I have no idea what they're doing with their boots! I could barely get this on my foot, and I even ordered a 1/2 size larger just in case for thicker socks. When I turned them over and compared the foot bed with my other Keen shoes, I was shocked to see how much smaller the boot was then the shoe. It's as if it's not even a Keen because of the narrow (really narrow) foot bed.
