Keen Wilma Snow Boots - Waterproof (For Women)

As other reviewers have mentioned, they are quite snug in the shaft/ankle area. I've been wearing these when the weather requires for approximately 5 months, and the lining at the shaft/ankle has ripped (on the left boot) from, I imagine, my very narrow heel entering and exiting the boot, which I purchased a half size larger than I needed. In attempting to put the boot on, my foot got stuck halfway into the shoe, which meant I hobbled from work to my car and from the car into my home.

I hope Keen honors the warranty for boots from STP because, with a snow storm coming tonight/tomorrow morning, I now have no winter boots and I'm pretty darn annoyed about it. Total waste. These boots are now unwearable.

Love Keen boots BUT when I bought these, I thought quality, they are nice looking but getting in them is a challenge. The opening is narrow and laces do not give as the tongue area is sewn to sides. Also the inside liner bunches up. I like the comfort once in but id never recommend them, I wish keen would replace them for me, im a keen lover, I hafe 3 pair.

I ordered the size 5.5 of these boots, as I wear anything from a size 5 to a 6 or so depending on brand. I wear a size 36 in Dansko clogs and a size 5 or 5.5 in Salomon sneakers, for example. I was looking forward to these boots as I know Keen footwear is good-quality and I haven't had a proper pair of winter boots in years. Unfortunately when I took them out of the box and tried them on, they proved to be very much too small. I think a size 6 or 6.5 would have worked on my feet, but the upper/leg part of these boots doesn't open out at all-- there is no "tongue," there's just a cylinder of non-stretchy fabric, and I think even in a size that fit my feet properly the leg and ankle area would have been uncomfortably tight. The "laces" aren't really laces at all-- they are an elastic lattice thing that isn't very adjustable and when loosened does not make a difference in the fit of these boots' leg area.

I should note that I have very slender ankles and calves-- I'm 5'1", 104 lbs and don't have pronounced calf muscles-- so it's not an issue of having fuller calves that don't fit into boots.

These do seem to be very well-made and sturdy, but my impression is that they run at least 1/2 size small and it's just a poor design.

Can't beat STP prices though, especially with a lovely 30% off coupon!

If you want these boots to be super snug with a crew sock, then stick with your regular size Otherwise, order up.
I'm a 6.5 and ordered a 6.5. Will be returning for a 7. They're full pull on, so if you don't like that, these will annoy you. Its a tight slip on.
Sad to return them, super nice boots and not too tall.

Wonderful fit, but the stretch laces must go. I can hardly get my foot thru the ankle turn. Short of a struggle, the boot won, trying to find replacement laces.
