Customer Reviews KEEN Kaci Winter Mid Waterproof

Loved the boots, but they were just way too wide. I have a wide foot, but this was too much wiggle room in the upper half of the boot. The length was fine and the footbed was great, but I felt like my feet would get tired with so little support from the arch up.

These are very comfortable and can be used with orthotics. The toe box is roomy and the lacing on and off is quick and easy. The light insulation is just right, comfortable outside but not too warm indoors. Very satisfied, if the styling were better they would be perfect but the look is not bad.

I love Keen! I have worn them for years because I have such a wide foot. I own a small horse farm and bought these boots for the winter work on frozen ground not necessarily for use with any accumulation of snow. But , I must say, these boots ARE VERY, VERY WARM!! The only problem is the material and the thickness of the material is nothing like the KEEN I know!! It is quite flimsy. I can tell you now they won’t last 3 months as out door work boots. But, hey... maybe they're just designed for winter walks on an established path? Still flimsy in my opinion!! What happened to the attention to sturdy material??? C’mon KEEN!!! Dont fail me now!!

I had to size up on my Keen Targhees. These I could have sized down, but I'm keeping them so I can wear thicker socks with them. The blue is slightly darker than pictured, but very nice. Got compliments on the first day out wearing them. They were comfortable out of the box. For reference, the sole is more flexible than Targhees, but still feels supportive, and because they seem to run large, the insole could be changed out for orthotics. They are very light weight (not what I was expecting) and the tag inside states they are warm to -4 degrees. We'll see.

Well, I am 64+ with arthritic x-wide feet. I had to reorder a 1/2 size up 7 1/2 to 8 to allow more room and they fit very good. Unfortunately, they don't come in wide, but have a wide toe box. However, they sure are cute (Brindle) and will look great with my jeans for an European Christmas trip! I didn't give a 5 star since I haven't really worn them out yet.

I bought these in blue and they are very cute. They don't make your foot look huge like some Keens. They are wide in the toe box which makes them super comfortable. The foot pad didn't have enough cushioning for my 62 yr old foot so I am replacing the removable foot pad and using my own and they will be perfect. I plan to wear them on my upcoming trip to Morocco.

These are great boots, but just too wide for my foot. I wear a 11.5M-12M, and these fit more like a C width.

These run wide and I like that because there is just enough room for an orthotic and warm sock. I really like the look- got them in turbulence (green) and the color isn't quite as army-ish as the picture--more of a subtle grayish green, which I like. The laces are a nice contrast. They are surprisingly lightweight. I haven't walked in wet conditions yet but wore them with smartwool socks to a 2-hour outdoor event with 15-degree wind chill and was comfortable. I would give them five stars if I was certain about staying dry and if the sole had thicker cushioning without sacrificing on other features, but these are the best boots in this class that I've tried. I will come back to revise if my feet get wet.

Sadly these did not work for me. I have a pair of Keen Presidio shoes that are a perfect fit for my wide feet and high arches, so I ordered these boots in the same size, a 9.5 M. They were too tight across the arch of my foot. I think if the laces came down a little lower, I could have adjusted them to fit. I wish they worked for me - they're a really cute boot!

These have the traditional Keen fit, unlike some of their newer shoes. I found them to be very comfortable right out of the box. If you are used to wearing Keens, as I am, they will seem perfectly normal to you. If you usually wear shoes with pointy toes, they probably will feel quite roomy! If you have a high arch, you might want some insoles. I have not tested the waterproof capacity yet. I got these for my PNW winter walking shoes so we will see how they hold up to our 6 inches of slush.

These boots hit my arch in the wrong spot. I've had Keens in the past and have struggled with the fit of their product line. They are very cute and the leather is very soft. I would recommend ordering your true size and a half size and then just wear them around the house to see if they will work for you.

super comfy!

There are huge! Usually I wear a 10 or 10.5 in Keens, but I'm swimming in these. On the plus side, these have no arch support, so I can slide my orthotic in without removing the insole, providing more sole warmth in winter. Also on the plus side, these have Keen's traditional duck-foot toebox, which my feet love (hammer toe, bunion) and which I think is cute. Keeping! (Not hiking shoes, obviously, but I think good for slogging around in the winter in Chicago.)

I really liked the looks and warmth of these boots. They were exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately they are too wide for my feet. Also they do not have the comfortable footbed that Keen typically has.

Very comfortable and cute. I used my orthotic inserts in them for the arch support my feet like. Unfortunately the stitching hit right on my bunion so I had to return them.

I have multiple pairs of Keen shoes - Voyageur, Mary Janes, Targhees, and snow boots. These are soooooo much wider in the toe box than any of my others it felt like I was wearing snow shoes. Love the style and everything else was going to be perfect for what I need but of course comfort comes first. So sad.

Really nice boot. Really, really wide. Too wide for me. I tried on a 10 1/2 Reg.

I need cushioning for the ball of my foot. While these were wide enough in the foot bed, there was not substantial cushioning especially for walking on rough trails. Was disappointed and returned.

I love Keens and I have a lot of pairs. My favorites are Presidio (the old version) and the mid-level hikers. I thought I would love these boots but they just didn't fit my foot like Keens normally do. Instead of holding my foot and leaving room for toe wiggle, the entire boot felt too wide. The normal arch support seemed to be missing. The sole is too soft and flexible for me. They might be okay in snow.

After trying them on, I thought I'd accidentally ordered a wide width, as the sides did not even touch my feet. (Nope, just medium width.) I believe these would be super comfortable for someone for whom finding wide enough shoes are a challenge. For me they are clunky. They are also a darker tan, not gray as pictured.

These boots are comfortable, light and easy to walk in. The toe box has plenty of room for my arthritic toes and one or more pairs of socks. I have a narrow heel and the heel fits perfectly. They are warmer than my LL Bean boots with primaloft. My one complaint is that they are not waterproof. I just wore them to walk my dog in the rain and they are soaked and my socks are wet.

I was so sure that I would love these and couldn't decide on which color so I ordered both the black and storm (olive). Size wise, these fit fine (I wear a 7.5M) and they seemed very comfortable walking around the house. They did not feel wide or short, but that's how they looked on my feet - my husband said they looked like duck feet/flippers. This was less noticeable with the olive, but not the look I was pursuing, so I returned both pairs.

So Disappointed!!! I love my Keen Kaci Slides (Clogs) so.....I was prepared to love these too! Except: the Kaci Boot is a higher VOLUME shoe (think "thicker" foot) than the Slide version. I have a "bony" foot with Wide toes, narrow heels & BONY ankle. I can accommodate for them being a "Fuller" fit with a thicker sock. BUT: due to my skinny & BONY ankles - the tops of either side of boot (where metal hooks are) were SO CLOSE together. PLUS there is NO padding on the "skin" side of metal hooks. I felt something pressing in & bothering me. Not sure HOW to pad for that. So......even though the Toe area is so WONDERFUL......I think I need to return theses :(.

As much as I love Keen shoes/boots, these did not work for me. I thought the boots were smooth. I really didn't love the feel/look/color of the material used. Even though I wear orthotics, these boots seemed too roomy. Having said that, they were comfy. I always appreciate Keen's roomy toe box.

The large toe area in this shoe was very comfortable but the overall width and fit was way too large. When I tied the laces tight, the thick leather gathered and pinched. The leather was too stiff to tie tight.
