KEEN Hoodoo High Lace Boot - Women's

These boots are NOT WATERPROOF by any stretch of the imagination. I had no problem with them in the snow, but I just wore them in the tall wet grass and my feet were swimming in water within 5 minutes. I poured water out of the boots and had to wring out my socks. No exaggeration! It was super wet conditions more suited to irrigation boots than winter boots, but there was not standing water, just very wet foot high grass. The top edge where the faux fur trim is was still dry so the water did not come in from the top. It came through the boot. It seemed like they started to leak at the seam where the leather meets the colored fabric on top of the foot and literally just continued to fill up with water. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. My other review for snow and fit still stands. I wore my waterproof Vasque Breeze boots with gaiters in the same conditions earlier this week and had no leaks. I don't think my gaiters would fit around the Keen's but they might have helped keep water off that seem. To me the whole point of buying taller boots is so you don't have to wear gaiters!

First off, these are cute boots but the seam across the mid-foot hurts! I couldn't even keep them on for 5mins before I had to get them off. In addition they run short but also are very wide across the toes. This was my first pair of keen shoes...they are going back and I ordered Merrell boots instead. I love merrell shoes so I am going to stick with them! Sorry, Keen shoes you are just too wide for me!!!

I tried 4 Keen winter boots. The Alaska's were too stiff and clumsy to walk much in, although they had the most insulation of the 4. The Hoodoo High boot was the tallest. It was comfortable and had insulation but I didn't care for the style. I also tried an insulated mid hiking boot. It cut at the ankles, definitely not comfortable. The Hoodoo High Lace was a winner. I ordered a half size up from my usual Keen low top hiking boots, so I could wear really thick socks or even 2 pair of winter hiking socks. It worked fine. These boots are modestly insulated, definitely not as warm as my foam lined moon boots from 20 years ago. They have lots of toe room and don't slip in the heel. Great arch support and rugged soles. If you have super flat feet, the arch may be too much for you. These boots are light weight but sturdy and really comfortable. The lace up is easy and they fit my skinny calves fine. Lots of room for bigger legs too. I like these for hiking in snow and snow shoeing. My feet get cold easily, no problems with these boots. If you have to stand still in 0 degrees I think you better get something else, but for 20 degree walks in the snow, I think you are good. If you don't own any Keens, my only experience is that I wear 1/2 size smaller in Keens than I do in Vasque.

I bought these for my mother and she LOVES them! She wears them just about every day too. Here is a direct quote from her, "These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn!" My mother is a very picky shopper and I was very surprised (and relieved) that she approved of them. If you wanna make your momma happy then buy these for her!

After I had a blowout with my other snowboots, I needed some winter boots and FAST! These arrived quickly (although it helps to live in the state were they were shipped from!) I hike and snow shoe daily in the winter so I was looking for something lightweight, sturdy, something that I can sinch down without worrying about heal lift or blisters. These have done the job. After looking at other reviews which said they run small, I choose to stick with my normal size 8.5 and exchange them if I needed to. I found them to run just a little big, but thick socks and tightening the laces has helped with the situation so far. Great for snowshoeing, winter hiking, or walking Main Street during Sundance.

These boots are absolutely warm and comfortable. They are not too stiff and do not need too much breaking in. I would recommend these boots to others.

The boots are very comfortable to wear as it has perfect arch suppport and are pretty stylish too. I like the desgin and the quality leather. All in all, a great buy for winter hikers. I strongly recommend them.

I've had these boots for over 3 months now and they have proven to be everything I could have wanted in a winter hiking boot. They are warm, as well as very comfortable. I've used them tobagganing, as well as hiking for hours in snow throughout the kootenays and they have yet to fail me. I'd highly recomend these boots!

Also I have never noticed a seam across the mid-foot, and the width of the boots is consistant to any other Keen product. If you like Keens, you'll LOVE these boots.

I had been searching for the perfect warm and stylish boot for my fiance, and these were the end all say all. She loves them. Very comfortable!!! And since she has had problems before with cold feet, no more.... Thanks Keen, great products!

I ordered these boots and got them within three days - great job Backcountry.com! Unfortunately, they were too small. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10, so I ordered a 10, and these boots definitely run small. My toes were brushing the front of the boots, which isn't a good idea for the kind of outdoor activities I need them for. The quality is great (very comfy lining, sturdy laces, cute design), but I wish they'd stock above a size 10!!!
