KEEN Chamonix Winter Boot - Women's

I put off writing this review because I like the way Keen shoes & this boot look, but.......the fit is terrible! All of Keen's shoes for USA sizes run short and too wide. Knowing that I still went ahead and ordered them. The biggest disappointment is that the inside heel has a depression (giving me one, too) which makes the fit and feel even worse. The treads are useless for slippery streets. Why couldn't they put the usually great soles on the bottom? And while the fabric may be waterproof, the hook-and-loop opening allows water to get inside the boot. They're not that warm either. buyer beware!

Just what I was looking for. A boot that slides on easy for my quick winter excursions to the store or to run some errands. The boot is high enough to keep the snow out. This boot does run a bit small need a full size larger to get the proper fit.

I really like these boots, I just wish they were warmer for standing outside for long periods of time. That being said I wore them all winter and didn't get wet feet once. The nice thing about them not being too warm is that you can wear them all day and your feet aren't sweating and they are great for the shoulder seasons when it's still a little too cold for sandals. They other thing i really like about the boots is that they look great with everything. As always with Keen I had to size up 1 whole size.

Very comfortable, casual boots that look great with jeans. They didn't require any breaking in. As a matter of fact, the first time I wore them, I was on my feet all day and it felt like I was wearing slippers! The only problem I had was a little trouble getting them on and off (even with the velcro), but once they were on, they were fine. I normally wear a size 7.5 and that's what I ordered, but I suggest if you want to wear thicker socks, to go up a half a size.

I've had my Chamonix for a few weeks, and I have to say, I am very pleased. Similarly to previous Keen experiences, absolutely no break-in was required - comfy right from the start. I ordered 1/2 a size bigger than I normally would, and would recommend it, particularly if you layer up for winter. My big qualm with these is the poor treads. I would have expected Keen to put more substantial treads on winter boots. Not great for slippery walks.

Warm and waterproof enough for how I use them, which definitely includes snow use. They are a little shorter than I imagined and I thought the velcro was a little strange at first, but I am very happy with them. In fact, I have worn them everyday since I got them. I have not had snow come in from the velcro as another person mentioned. Easy on and off and they look a lot more stylish than a lot of waterproof/ lined boots out there.

Very warm. Indeed, they are waterproof, except for a strange flaw in the design. The velcro makes it really easy to take them on and off. However, below the elastic that goes around the back of the heel, there is no velcro, nor is there a seam of any kind. Thus, snow can work its way into your boot. Thankfully, they are so warm, that it doesn't always matter, but I wouldn't go stepping into any puddles just because these boots are supposed to be waterproof. All in all, they are pretty decent day-to-day urban fall/winter boots. They are very convenient to slip on and off and they're quite warm. If you have to trudge through deep snow regularly, these are not the boots for you. They are great for urban winters, where it can get icy, and the streets get cleared.
