Customer Reviews KEEN Kaci Winter Mid Waterproof

I bought these for PNW winters and they are awesome. I wear them every day and they are warm and comfortable with great support. They are sturdy without being too heavy and even though I have narrow feet, they feel great, and not too wide. They easily take a thick wool sock. My feet are very happy. I got them in black and they are just so cute on my feet.

This little boot is awesome! I’m always a straight 9, but that size was too sloppy. Re-ordered in an 8.5 and the size is perfect with a medium-thick sock. I have wide/thick feet, but this Keen has plenty of room in the toe box. Plus they’re warm for both feet and ankles. Moderate/good arch support. Definitely waterproof—a must while shoveling snow in blustery, snowy weather. Because I walk 1/4 mile to my University worksite (across much ice in Ohio), I need a slip-proof sole which, surprisingly, many boots don’t provide. This short bootie is both kicky/fun and safe. GREAT purchase, but I recommend you order 1/2 size smaller.

Love these boots! They look great. I usually have to order a 10.5 or 11 wide but this 10.5 pair fits me perfectly. I could probably even wear a thicker sock and still have a little wiggle room. I wear orthotics so I’m not too concerned about the lack of support. I have yet to test them in snow/rain, so I will update on how they hold up to more extreme weather. It doesn’t seem like it would take much wear to break them in.

I have an awful problem buying shoes that fit and are comfortable. These Keen Kaci Winter Mid Waterproof are awesome! I bought them in Tortoise Shell/Marsala which is beautiful. I purchased my usual size 6 and they fit perfectly with thick winter socks, which is exactly what I was looking for. These are the original wide toe and roomy toe box.

I love Keen shoes. I normally have to order a shoe in wide, but the Keens fit me so well because they have a roomy toe box. I can wear Keens right out of the box.

I love these boots!!!

My dream boots! Looks great, feels great, and are very warm! I can hardly wait to take them out. What I need to know is if I need to spray them with a water repellent?? Thank you!!

These are awesome little boots. I normally wear a nine and I got a nine in these and there is plenty of room to wear even thicker socks if I wanted to. The black can go a little more than casual and they are very comfortable and cushy without being as clomping as hiking boots to wear with leggings or jeans. So happy with these.

The fit is great, immediately comfortable, got them last night and have worn them all day. Will be ordering another pair in a different color soon. I got the black, and they are "dressier" in appearance than some of my many older keens. Love them.

Dang these were cute! And comfortable! Unfortunately, they were not warm at all. I mean - at all. My feet were very cold in these. Had to put back on my Merrell clogs to warm my feet while on vacation in Colorado. For the price and the claim (of warmth) I expected better

I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I used to wear in Keen because I’ve been finding that they run small these days even though my old sizes still fit. I replace their inner soles with my own from Birkenstock bought on Zappos because I find they no longer have the good arch supportKeen used to have.

I love Keens. These would make good winter boots for the city. The arch support and foot stability is not as solid as their hiking boots. This shoes is more like their leather sneakers, but in boot form with winter lining for -20 degrees. I didn’t test it in rain. The arch and foot stability wasn’t as good as I wanted so I kept the Targhee II boots. They run 1/2 size larger, so size down 1/2 size. They are wider than most keen shoes and looser than hiking boots.

I say excellent arch support for someone who needs a has a high arch--I do not and found the arch support a bit too much; also, it does seem really big--don't know if I should try a half size down. But a nice boot for the price if you can wear them.

Keens are great for people with bunions, which I have on both feet, and the Kaci model is no exception. I got the wine color. It's a smidge darker in person than it is online. They were comfortable out of the box, BUT the left shoe pressed in on my heel about half an inch above the sole. There's a bit of glue on that heel as well, which another reviewer mentioned; not sure if something happened when the shoe was being manufactured. Nevertheless, I'm going to try a different pair, because these appear to be good, supportive walking shoes: not too heavy, easy to tie and untie, good support for my flattish feet. I bought a 7.5 and it fits as it is supposed to, but I'd go up to an 8 if I wanted to wear thicker socks.

I bought the Kaci Winter Mid Waterproof for walking my dogs on cold winter days. I ordered a size 10 — my normal size — and the fit was perfect for my intended use. They were plenty wide so I can wear a thicker wool sock on cold days. I would also include that I have a bunion on one foot so I need a wider shoe. If you have narrow feet, they may not work for you. The boot states that it is rated to -4 F... I walked today at 22 degrees for an hour with wool socks and while my feet weren’t freezing, they weren’t warm either. I highly doubt I would be comfortable at 10 F... One other thing I noticed is that when walking down a hill my foot slid to the front of the boot, which was a bit annoying. I am going to try a Happy Foot insert and see if this helps. Overall, I like the style and comfort, but will probably keep searching for a boot warm enough to work in a MN winter

great show! my last pair of keens was narrower, & I didn't know I wanted a wider pair until I had these on my feet! I love keens, & these shoes are super good looking

Got these for work, a lot of standing and walking. Comfortable but a bit wide even for keens, but I can cinch down on the lacing enough to keep my heel and ankle snug. Lots of room in the toe box and they fit my orthotics which helped a little with the wideness of the shoe. Pretty cute style, I got some compliments on them, but with the big rounded toe, I kind of feel like I’m wearing baby booties, but I’ll take that since they’re so comfortable.

Wish these would have worked..nice looking shoe odd fit

I like the feel and look of blue boot. Only problem was the tongue part of boot was off somewhat once tied. I called Zappos they sent me another pair. I thought boot runs large.

I love Keens, mostly because I hate girly shoes and envy men the boots available to them. Also, I have wide feet. If you wear Keens for the width they provide then this is the style for you. I've always worn size 7 in Keens, except for their flip flops. Size 7 in this boot has me thinking that I should try a half size smaller. I ordered the blue. I looked at it on multiple devices and it shows as a nice true blue. The blue is actually much darker, more drab, and greenish blue. Much less attractive than the displayed color

I really wanted to keep the boot but it was just too big around my foot. I tried insoles and tying it right, but my foot kept slipping. If you have a thicker, wider foot, go for it. They were really comfortable otherwise.

The shoes are very comfortable. That is saying a lot since my knees are very particular. I did replace the insert though. They are warm. They kept my toes toasty with a pair of light weight wool socks at 7 degrees. There is room to add another pair of socks if it gets colder. For your reference I am in my 70s but am very active: walking, ballet, yoga.

Comfortable boot.

These are great winter shoes. They’re a tiny bit big (I always wear a 10 and the 10 is just a smidge big) but it’s cold so I just wear thick socks. They’re cute enough to wear to work and not feel like I’m wearing clunky snow boots.

Toe could be wider. I have another pair of Oboz same size that fit prrfectly. Evidently their boots have many different forms- this makes it confusing when trying to find a good fit. I’ve given up on Oboz for now. One recommendation: more comfy foot bed ( more cushion) would be great.
