Customer Reviews KEEN Elsa Chelsea Waterproof

I really wanted to like this boot because it was waterproof and didn't look like a snow or rain boot. However, my heel and ankle just flopped around in the boot. They would have been comfortable for standing but awful for walking. I tried size 8.5 and 8, and neither worked for me. (Anything below a size 8 would not have worked in the toe box.) I love my Keen sandals, so I had high hopes. But these just don't work for me at all!

It feels just like a rain boot on the inside bottom, cold, no cush. I think I might keep them if I had inner soles. they are rally cute and made really well. I kept a pair of bogs instead because they felt like a shoe inside.

Was looking for “perfect” dog-walking shoes... I found them!!!! These are great! Super comfy like my other Keens! Took advice from others’ reviews and ordered 1/2 size up from my normal Keen size, and they fit perfectly! Thank you Keen & Zappos!!!

The reviews said they ran large so I did not go up a half size to account for winter socks and inserts, and ended up having to return the 7.5 and get an 8 instead (thanks Zappos for sending those out so quickly!). I have not worn them in the rain yet so I can't speak to their waterproofing, but they are attractive and comfortable, and easy to pull on. The toe box is not quite as big as usual but still comfortable. Keens fit well on squarish feet, so if that is your foot type, Keens are a good bet.

I got these boots in December and they've been perfect for Boston this winter. Most of the winter we had a lot of wet slush and these are perfect. They are warm, comfy, and dry. Couldn't ask for more!

28yo grad student daughter loves them. They’re perfect for Colorado winters.

Love these boots so much but does it bother anyone that the color pattern is different on the left foot vs the right foot?

Love these boots so much! They are my first pair of KEENS and I couldnt be happier. Another reviewer said they felt like rain boots on the inside, that they had no cushion...well I feel just the opposite! They feel so bouncy and springy like I have on tennis shoes. I will get so much wear out of these this winter whether the conditions are wet or not. With cozy socks on they feel so awesome.

Love these! I tried so many different pairs, and these are the best. I live in LA, so I don't need fully lined, just waterproof. They are cute and comfy!!

Love these boots! So much cooler and more comfortable than your usual snow boot. I bought a half size larger so I can wear thick socks with them.

I just love these boots, love the color, style and fit. Just took a long walk around in the slushy snow and they kept me very dry and warm. So happy with them

I love this boot! super comfortable and cute! They seemed a bit tight at first, but after walking around they felt great. We got a lot of snow then slush! these boots are the bomb! I have the maroon color. I would totally get another pair if they came in all black.

Love zappos ,love keen! This boot is very fun and all about work ! The Keen way! It ran small on we so I went up a size.

Very cute slip-on. Went with a different pair, but these are fun! Felt a little loose, even with thick socks.

I really love these little boots! Perfect for soggy New England climate. I wanted a warm and dry casual short boot. Regular rain boots are too hot and confining for me so these are perfect. They are very comfortable, cute and well made. Look nice with skinnys.

I bought these for the slushy days. I hope they truly are waterproof, but the weather has been too nice to allow me to test them out. They have a nice grippy sole that I think will be great on ice. The inside of the boot is nice and smooth and is very comfy with thick socks.

Very happy with this purchase. The boots ran true to size, I normally wear 6.5 in Keens and these fit as expected. Keen's wider toe box is perfect for me. I wanted something to that would pull on easily for running errands on cold, slushy days or after snowshoeing and these fit the bill.

These run a tiny bit big--I assume because they expect you to wear heavy socks, but not big enough to size up. I'm still wearing my normal size. I have worn these both with and without socks and they're comfortable. I wear them to walk my dog in the rain, I have worn them to walk to work (1.5 miles) and they're very comfortable in each situation. They're sturdier than an average rain boot and way more comfortable. I gave it a 4 starts for style as I wish the black had another color than white attached to it....

This is a super cute boot. I was looking for a rain/snow boot to wear on days where it's slushy but not enough to justify my full-blown Sorel Joan of Artics. In many ways, these are perfect for that. Ultimately I'm opting to keep a different pair that is a little more versatile than these, but if money were no object I would definitely keep this pair, too! They're adorable and the yellow sole is fun. I didn't have any problem at all with fit and these are actually way comfortable! I normally wear an 8.5-9 and the 8.5 fit me perfectly.

The size 5 I ordered was a little difficult to get on, even with the thin sock I was wearing. Probably just needs to get broke in. I was actually looking for a boot that could be worn with thicker socks, so am returning and ordering a larger size.

I have worn Keen for a long time and these were small. I always take an 8 and for these my toes were right up to the edge. I returned them and I will probably order them again if I can't find them in a store.

Thought these would be a cute little boot for changing Colorado mountain seasons and weather, but the bottom, rubber part looked really heavy and the upper fabric part looked too light, not tall enough (not like the photo conveys), so the balance wasn't quite there for me. Granted I'm tall and have long legs, so that could be part of it! But I was expecting them to cover my ankles more than they did for extra warmth. The construction and materials are good, I just didn't like the overall look.

Love these! I have old injuries that make finding comfy shoes difficult and these are great. The fit is not quite like my other many pairs of Keens; the toe box isn’t as roomy. Comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. Keep my feet dry when out walking the dog. They are warm and don’t breathe very well, which isn’t a surprise since they are waterproof. The fit is not tight, but I could not wear thick socks with them. Haven’t had any leaks like other people have complained about. Over they are great and I’d buy them again.

These shoes are mostly great. I bought them for a trip where it was supposed to rain a lot since I live in a dry climate and don't own any waterproof shoes. They definitely keep out water, and are comfortable for light walking, but I found longer distances in them made my feet ache. They're good for standing and general running about town, but on vacation they didn't totally work as my feet would really start to ache after 3-4 miles. I got a lot of compliments on the style and get excited about wearing them for errands on the occasions it does rain here in LA.
