KEEN Winterport II Boot - Women's - 2009 BCS

I have a pair similar to these, and wanted my wife to enjoy them as much as me. Keen are favorites of ours because their fit accomodates those of us with wide feet. I've trudged through 2 Wisconsin winters with a similar model and it feels like I'm slipping on sneakers My wife has 1 winter of bliss in these boots and will never put another boot on..

If you are looking for a light (weight) boot that is comfortable, warm and is easy to get on and off this is the boot for you. Love these boots! Use them for walking the dog everyday for 6 months in the winter on trails in the bush. I only have one negative comment the material does not stand up. Bought my boots around xmas 2009 and by December this year they were toast. I hope Keen will come out with identical boots just change the material to something a little sturdier. Love the toggles in the front to tighten the boots.

These seemed to be designed more for looks than function. The mens version has the loops in front and back to help pull them on, they are warm, light and seem sturdy without being constricting. I can move comfortably in them, If you do not need the loops and like the frilly fur these are the boots for you. I returned mine and got the mens Winterport II black/gargoyle. No they are not as pretty but they are warm, dry comfortable and for me allot easier to get on.

I ordered three other pairs of boots before finding these and I Love them. They are great looking and very comfortable. I have a wide foot and I have pleanty of room. In my opinion the best winter boots I have ever owned.

I was quite disappointed with the quality of construction. One of the boots is a bit wider and the molding around the foot bed is all bunched up. I was desperate for a pair of winter boots so i ended up keeping them but had i purchased them locally i definitely would have asked to see another pair in the same size so i could compare for defects. I would have thought the Keen brand would have higher quality standards.

I bought these because my old snow boots began to leak..ugh! I broke them in on a trip to Montana and had mixed feelings. I didn't find that the traction on the boots was very good, I was slipping and sliding everywhere (which proved to be embarrassing!). My feet were kept very warm though. Maybe even too warm, but that could have been adjusted by the thickness of socks. But you have to be careful and not wear ankle socks with these boots or your ankles might get blisters...mind did. So all-in-all I would say these are nice boots if you aren't looking to do anything too intense. They look very good, they are easy to slip on and off and are pretty much comfortable. I have received a lot of complements on the look of these boots also (I bought the "dark earth" color). Hope this helps!!!
