Customer Reviews KEEN Revel IV Chelsea

I have found the Revel IV Chelsea a little tight in the toe box. Other Keen boots fit perfectly. After wearing the shoes for a month, I thought the leather might stretch a little, but it didn't. Like other Keen shoes, these are made of quality material and built to last.

I exchanged this shoe for a different model that was also on sale. Both shoes required me to go down a half size.

Nice boots

I like the boots I bought they fit good and are comfortable. But I am concerned how long they will last the rubber on the tops of the toes seem th be breaking down after just four months.

So far so good.

I wear these every single day, 365 days a year, snow, heat, rain. They are the BEST. I'm on my second pair.

I had to return these. They did not feel good on my foot. I'm disappointed that they stopped production of the Anchorage II.

I know these are cold weather boots but, I have been using them in the summer just fine. I do wish that they had a defined heel which would make it easier on my job to climb a ladder or similar job. I am an electrical lineman and on my feet a lot and they are comfortable and that's what matters most to me.

Step in and go! I own 5 pairs of Keen's. 3 boot/hiking style and 2 walking style. I live in Oregon and from December to early March we get a combination of rain and snow. These Keen Revel IV Chelsea boots are a game changer. When these are done I will be buying another pair. I'm a huge fan of Keen products. Top quality products! Keen's for life. Thank you Keen!

Love the boot features, pull on, sole, fit etc but the sole separated from the boot after about 4 months of wear. Keen provided good warranty service but the quality has gone downhill.

I absolutely live these boots. They slip on and off easy yet are not loose when wearing. They look great with jeans and sweat pants. They are small enough that driving while wearing them isnt a problem either. Recently I went on a weekend trip to snowmobile and ice fish. I forgot my snowmobile boots and ended up wearing these for a 85 mile trail ride. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they performed. These wouldnt be a good deep snow boot but for most other winter activities I think they would work very well.

Recently rediscovered the concept of slip on shoes after fumbling with laces for the better part of my adult life. Slip ons are just so much less of a hassle. Was was looking for a pair of slip on waterproof boots for errands, taking my dog out when it rains and the occasional snow adventure. These boots are billed as being warm, waterproof and having solid traction in wet and snowy weather. These features matched what I was looking for and so I went ahead and purchased a pair in November 2022 at REI. Upon first trying them on, I did find them to be bit on the larger side, but nothing that a thick pair of Fox River Norsk or Kirkland Wool Hiking Socks couldn't kinda fix.That being said, the boots do run a bit large with normal athletic socks and are generally on the roomier side IMHO. Wore them for a couple months through the unusually heavy 2022/2023 rainy season in the SF Bay Area and LA and had no complaints. These boots would power through puddles and my feet would remain warm and dry. Traction was great and never once did I feel that I was going to slip. Brought them on my first snow excursion of the 2023 season and while the traction and warmth were as advertised, unfortunately these boots are not quite as waterproof as Keen claims. After trudging through the snow, I noticed that the inside of the boot near the toe area seemed a bit damp. Upon further inspection, I found that water appeared to be making an ingress via the toe box seam. Not sure if this is expected behavior, a design flaw or a manufacturing/quality control issue. While I really do like these boots, especially in the areas of warmth and wet/snow traction, I'm not sure I can recommend them since they aren't quite living up to the claim that they are waterproof. If they were waterproof, I would wholeheartedly recommend these to anyone looking for a solid pair of rain/snow resistant boots.

Runs a little big, I had to order a half size down. Very warm and so far very water proof as well. They look nice and feel very durable.

I ordered a size 12 . Ive already owned 2 pairs of keen boots both size 12 .. these are a little to big not sure if its because of the no laces or less padding returned them for an 11.5 hopefully they fit better . Other than that very comfortable

I sent back the first pair after about a week of use, because the rubber on the top front edges were coming unglued from the leather. They sent me out a new pair, but the same thing is happening to the new pair. Its been less than a week of wearing them, and the glue is failing again. Very disappointing, since they are quite comfortable.

When I first got the boots I was so bummed that the boots are about 1/2" more narrow that my Newport and Brixen2 shoes. I have very painful toe joint problems so the less pressure/contact in the foot box the better. The insert was installed incorrectly in the left boot and the pain was bad but I hoped they would break in rather than deal with a holiday return nightmare. It took a couple of days before I tried removing it and center it properly and what a relief, even though they are more narrow they fit fine but more like a typical boot fit which customers should know. These are comfortable and well made and they would get 5 stars if the slightly narrower design was part of the product description. If you have normal to narrow feet these may be much better for you.

Comfortable boot, fits good, but the Polar Ice traction is garbage. I would stay away from these boots if you are looking to use them on slippery conditions. I'm pretty sure they just added a few yellow things in the rubber and called it a day, nothing special about these at all.

Quite heavy. Not slip-ons. Hard to get on. Too high.

I work outside and the first sight of snow and a little ice I was wearing these boots and slipped and fell on my back, the grip didnt even attempt to work. And still havent had the grip work for me. The little bit of snow on the gravel and the shoes slip around as if they were tennis shoes.

Had several pairs. Great shoes!

As always, the only shoe I've ever been able to put on out of the box and wear all day!

I owned a pair of these boots and thought it would be a good time to break in a new pair and retire the old pair. The old pair fit fine out of the box. The new pair were almost impossible to get on and were so tight and painful to wear. The quality of the boot also did not match up to the old pair. Its been a problem lately that boots that previously fit no longer fit unless I get it in a wide size. This boot was not available in a wide size. I will be returning them.

Always was a Keen fan, up until now. The design of the Revel IV Chelsea boot is nice with waterproof leather and substantial rand. The workmanship like many products today is shoddy with excess glue, poor stitching, and scratched up leather surfaces. The insulation quality is yet to be determined and they are relatively stiff reminiscent of hiking boots. I still have 5 different pairs of Keens but may have to look elsewhere.

Bought these shoes for working around our house during the winter months. They done a good job, consistently keeping my feet warm and dry in-spite of the ever-present snow and ice outside.
