Customer Reviews KEEN Elsa Boot WP

These are very cute and just what I wanted in fall/winter boots. But the heel is too wide and the boxy heel slips all over the place. So these will be going back. If my heel did not slide up with each step I would love these.

I looked for a long time for winter boots that weren't clunky and bulky and these perfect. They are light-weight and very comfortable. The pattern also adds a little extra flair.

I bought these boots for taking out the dog in the morning. I love them. They are warm, waterproof and lightweight. With a pair of warm socks, I will be wearing them for lots of activities this winter. I love how light and not-clunky they are.

These boots are so cute and comfortable. I normally wear an 8.5 in most shoes and these 8.5s fit perfectly, even with thick socks. They are really warm and sturdy, but still way lighter and less bulky than my Sorels. I love them!

I love the style and the design. Its water resistant but not very comfortable. Besides that it's an okay boots. Great in rain, snow and winter

I chose this Keen Elsa Boot over a Sorel. Although I liked the look of the Sorel better, it wasn't as comfortable and squeaked when I walked. Both were recommended as good boots for travel to cold climates. Since I grew up and live in a mild climate in the Bay Area of CA, I'm not used to extreme cold weather. So, when I had an opportunity to visit Switzerland and Denmark the beginning of March I did some research to find a reasonably priced boot that is comfortable for walking, good for playing in the snow if needed, will keep my feet warm and dry, and stylish. I tend to have cold feet in general so I wore medium weight wool blend socks, sometimes with my hiking sock liners or compression socks as first layer. For the most part my feet stayed warm as long as I was walking. We did A LOT of walking and these boots were very comfortable and provided enough arch support (I'm picky about comfort and having enough support). Overall I was very pleased with these boots and recommend for travel. If I lived in a cold climate, I would, however, spend more money for something cuter and maybe taller.

I have a high instep so these boots seemed tight there after wearing them in the house for an hour so they are going back. They have a nice wide toe box though which is great as cramped toes are cold toes.4 stars because of my personal instep problem.

I ordered these in Coffee Bean and LOVED the color. Felt very warm around the ankle but not so much on the foot. I need these for snowy/wet weather and cold but even wearing them indoors my feet only felt a little warm. I have a pretty low arch but I did think the sole was pretty comfortable. I ordered and normally wear a 7, the size felt perfect to wear with a thick winter sock. Sad to send them back!

These boots will be good protection from wet and slop but, don't be fooled by the fleece across the top of the boot. The fleece only extends down the ankle and not around the foot. Keen states there their brand of "warmth" is within the boot, but the foot area does not feel like it has any protection. Just feels like rubber to me. Bottoms have no cushioning. I am going to buy an insert and wear wool socks and hopefully all that will help. I like the boots enough to keep them, but don't think they will provide much warmth.

I wanted to love these adorable boots but they did not feel as comfortable, or as secure, as my Keen hiking boots.

These have plenty of room on the toe to accommodate a wider foot. Not much for cushion in the heel though.

The right boot is super comfy, the left boot on top is super tight and hurts the top of my foot! I thought it needed a little breaking in, but thats not the case. Would return if I hadn't worn them outside and around trying to break them in. Wish the left was just as comfy as the right because they are super cute.

This boot looks a little "clunky" on my foot but is so comfortable. I have many pairs of boots and this is the first one that has such a cushioned sole. I also have bone spurs on my heel and the boot is still comfortable. It says waterproof but I have not worn it in deep snow yet. I have Merrell, Keene, Ugg and Sorel boots and this is by far the most comfortable.

These boots worked perfectly for my winter vacation trip. They are very comfortable and there is great arch support. They are relatively waterproof, which was great. However, the quality was just ok. Basically, I'm glad I got them on sale. The fur along the top is starting to pill and the rubber on the toe looks a bit cheap. I don't think these will last another year. Also, they are not very warm. Still glad I bought them for the price and for my needs.

Comfortable boot, keeps my feet dry & warm in cold, messy Wisconsin winters. Most Keen footwear has noticeable arch support but this boot does not. Not an issue for me but just an FYI. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 in shoes, ordered a 9 and these boots have plenty of room to wear a nice thick pair of socks.

These were cute, but to echo what others have written - these feel more like rain boots than snow boots. I didn't keep these because they didn't feel like they would be warm enough. The toe box was indeed nice and wide, but felt like the inside of a rain boot with no insulation. The upper part feels like it was somewhat insulated, but my toes/feet did not feel cushioned or insulated at all.

Very cute and very comfortable. The insole is removable so I could put my orthotics in and there was plenty of room still in the toe box. They were a little heavy but not any heavier than most snow boots. I didn't keep them because I wanted a boot that was a little taller than this boot but if you are looking for a mid rise boot these are great!

this is listed as an insulated boot--not enough insulation to do any real good in winter. It is also not listed as waterproof as Keens Elsa Chelsea, a more attractive boot, so going with that instead as a rain boot.

I LOVE these boots. Only issue is they are definitely a half size too large, even with thick socks. Sadly I will have to wait for an exchange to go through before I can comment on use in actual snow, but they are absolutely everything I wanted otherwise!

Rubber and canvas boot with a cushy lining. Seems warm, but too snug for me and probably won't stretch. Made in Thailand.

Cute boot, but feels a little light. I would probably keep it as a lighter-weight fall/winter boot, but I wound up keeping a different pair instead that's a bit taller. Looks great in the red. I'm a loyal Keen customer, and these felt pretty good as someone who's always been a 9.5.

I ordered 6.5 and a 7... the 6.5 fit great and that is my normal size. These did not fit my needs right now as I was looking for a boot to keep my feet warm in cold temps and possible snow. Very fashionable and would be great for a more moderate winter climate- I'm thinking rain or cool days. No lining in the lower part of the boot.

I got these for walking the dog in Minnesota winters. I wanted something that would keep my feet warm and dry. I give four stars because these aren't warm warm boots, like Sorels would be, for example. But because Keens have a wide toe box, I plan on wearing a thick pair of socks. I didn't want something too heavy and clunky which is why I went with a slightly lighter weight boot. Overall I love Keens, they are the most comfortable shoe on the market!

Well made and stylish, but tight over the arch if you have a high instep. Not even give between the bottom of the laces and the start of the foot.

I ordered these boots several months ago and have worn them many times. I got the tortoiseshell color which looks super cute! I wanted a light weight, waterproof, warm pair of snow boots. These fit the bill. My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because when I received the boots their was a glob of glue on the fabric part of one of the shoes (which I managed to scrape off, but there's still a slight sheen where it was) and the black rubber toes on the top of the boots in not identical, it is slightly different, you only notice it if you stare at the boots with your feet together. Overall though I am satisfied with these snow shoes because they function and look nice.
