Okay, so I’ve been on the hunt for some decent winter boots. You know, the kind that actually keep your feet warm and dry when it’s nasty out. I feel like I’ve tried a million pairs, and they’re either super uncomfortable or my toes still freeze. Well, I finally hit the jackpot with these boots called KEEN Women’s Elle Winter Waterproof Boots.
First off, I got them and, oh boy, I was eager to test them out! These things are called “mid-calf” which is fine for me and they look pretty good on me.
The Fit
These boots are made for walking, seriously. They fit snugly but not in a way that squishes your feet. They’re comfy right out of the box, no “breaking in” needed. I wore them around the house for a bit just to be sure, and yep, still comfy.
Waterproof Test
Now, the real test – are they actually waterproof? I live in a place where winter means slush, snow, and puddles galore. I decided to be brave (or maybe just reckless) and stomped right through some big puddles. No leaks! My socks stayed perfectly dry. I even stood in a shallow stream for a minute, just to push it. Still dry! They are waterproof as the description says.
Warmth Factor
It’s been freezing here lately, like, seriously cold. I ventured out in these boots, and guess what? My feet stayed toasty warm. They’ve got some kind of insulation that really works, plus a mesh liner that somehow works together with the waterproof part. It’s like magic.
Walking Around
I took these boots for a proper walk in the snow. They’ve got a good grip, so I didn’t slip and slide all over the place. They’re not too heavy, either, so I didn’t feel like I was dragging my feet through the snow.
Final Thoughts
- Pros: Super warm, actually waterproof, comfy, good grip.
- Cons: Honestly, I can’t think of any. Maybe they could come in more colors? But that’s just me being picky.
If you’re looking for some solid winter boots, I’d definitely recommend these KEEN ones. They’re a bit of an investment, but totally worth it in my opinion. These are now my go-to boots for anything winter. Your feet will thank you!
