Keen Women's Bern Baby Bern Boot

Very pleased
April 12, 2012

I have been waiting to find these boots on sale for a while, and was so happy Altrec had the best price, as the customer service is reliable and shipping is quick. The boots are what I hoped for-comfortable and immediately flexible. They did not require any breaking-in. I have short legs and although I am small, I have relatively muscular calves and the boots wrap comfortably over skinny jeans. I love the purple color-almost a neutral but just a little different (and will be great when football season starts-my team wears purple). Very pleased that the Keen toe is not included with these. Have only had them a few days so I can't speak to how they'll last.

Comfortable and adorable!

I love these boots! Fit like a glove, well made and super stylish. Perfect for wandering the streets of Seattle. Going to purchase another pair in the Purplie color.

Awesome boots!

I have a hard time finding boots that are both comfortable and high quality. I took a chance on the Bern Baby Bern Boot and I’m so glad I did! They are very high-quality and extremely comfortable. They fit me perfectly and they were well worth the price. I’ll be buying boots by Keen from now on!

A great all-around boot!
January 30, 2012

I bought the Keen Bern Baby Bern boot in Purplie - yes, that is how it is spelled . . . giving away the playful nature of this boot. I am 5'6", 140 lbs, with average calves, slim ankles and narrow feet. I wear an 8.5 and that is what I ordered. They fit perfectly over a pair of wool socks. When I wear them to work with dresses and tights, I put a pair of socks on too - and stay cozy warm. I can tuck my skinny jeans inside, but make sure to roll up the bottom about 3" first, avoiding any pressure in the ankle area. These boots can dress up or down depending on your mood. And of course, living in the Pacific Northwest, even dressing up is rather casual, so these are the perfect all-around boots!

Bern Baby Bern are Beautiful Boots
January 23, 2012

These are great and attractive leather boots and look like they would last a very long time. I loved the buckle details. I loved everything about them except the fit. The right boot had more padding in the instep than the left one and that was something I knew I couldn't grow comfortable with. I tried putting in my own insoles, cutting mine around the boot's high place, but that didn't work. Also for no reason I could tell the left one rubbed a blister on my little toe on the top. I wore two thin pairs of socks around the house and then took one sock off which didn't help that. I'm 5'6" and weigh 190 so had to have something to fit around my calf. They did fit comfortably there. I had a wonderful "live chat" with a representative, I am returning Bern Baby Bern for Silverton and if they look this good and feel good I will be very happy.

Awesome quality!!!

I totally love these boots. I sometimes have trouble finding boots that don't hurt my feet. These felt wonderful as soon as I put them on! Soft leather, wonderful workmanship. Very cushy comfortable. These boots fit like a glove, close to my foot. They are close to the instep so that they don't flop when I walk. They look very good on and the oak is a nice medium brown that will go with many different clothes!

Comfortable and durable boot!

I bought the Women's Bern Baby Bern Boot in purple, I am so glad I did. it was a great buy! The boot is so comfortable that I can wear it whole day long without any foot pain. I am a kind of scrupulous because I have over 14" big calf and my foot pain often. The calf measurement is 16" for size 9, I ordered 1/2 size up. I would recommend this product to everyone!

The best boots in a long time!
December 13, 2011

It has been a long time since I have found a great pair of boots that go around my calf without hurting. These are the best and they look great too. I ordered a 1/2 size up but may try for my regular size. I also might purchase a 2nd pair in another color. All in all, great boots!

This boot fits true to size, is waterproof, and comfortable. As an active person, calf sizing in boots is sometimes difficult- however, these worked out really well. I am happy with this purchase! They look great and fit their use well. One thing I would mention is that the ankle is a bit sloppy/baggy. If you are going for a well-refined boot, maybe look around a bit more.

My favorite boots!

If you like Keen brand shoes, you will love these boots. They are comfortable, have good support, and are perfect if you have bigger calves. I was having trouble finding a pair of tall boots that didn't give me calf "muffin top," but these babies loosened up just right. They look great with a skirt:)

Keen Bern Baby Bern Boots
March 06, 2011

I received these boots a few days ago and have worn them with jeans as well as with a skirt. I love them, love the quality, love the fit and the feel, love how they look. They feel solid enough to walk in the snow we still have everywhere here in the Berkshires. They fit my feet perfectly, size 6, they come up to the right place on my leg (I am 5'2") and fit my calf perfectly. I have small calves but do not feel the boot is too big, it is just right. I own almost only Keen footwear now since Keen's style (funky, outdoorsy, adventuresome), fit (comfy all day!) and materials (all leather, or suede and leather lined, as well as the great sandals that go anywhere, hiking, river-walking, to a concert, whatever!!!) are exactly to my liking. My only question is, since such attention is paid to quality and detail, why, along the zipper, the piece of material added to protect it from the leg, is made of vinyl, or some synthetic material. Otherwise, as usual, Keen shoes of any nature are just wonderful!! Thank you!

great boot!

These are great boots, fit is true to size, look good with jeans, warm, wore them to an out side event when the weather was freezing. and the are comfortable.

I really loved these boots - they were very comfortable ran a little small ordered a half size up but unfortunately the stitching on one of the boots was loose and had to return.

Love 'em!
January 23, 2011

Loved these boots the second I opened the box. Great fit, great look, very comfy. Hopefully they'll last me many years!!!! I've been wearing them with dresses... pants... can go very easily from casual to dressy.

Love these boots
January 14, 2011

These boots are a great buy - they were instantly comfortable - no break in required. They look great with knee or above the knee skirts and knee high socks or tights. Very please with this purchase. Run true to size and accommodate a wider foot.

Perfect for my Athletic Legs!
January 10, 2011

I have had a tough time finding casual tall boots that fit over my athletic calves. I teach fitness classes and love to run. These are perfect. They fit just right, not too large not too small in the calves and everywhere else. They have made a slight calous on my pinkie toe, but that is the only uncomfortable spot. The first time I wore them was an all day sightseeing trip. They were comfortable from the beginning as all my Keen's are and were great throughout the day. I have recommended these to several people.

Great Boots
January 07, 2011

Very comfortable and durable boots. They look great too. I felt they ran about 1/2 size to large. But great....might have to buy in another color!

Great Looking and feeling boots
January 03, 2011

I bought these for my daughter-in-law and was worried that they might be too little because of the reviews, but the 6 1/2 fit her beautifully and she said they were so comfortable. She loved them and they looked so great on her. The leather looks of very fine quality and I know she will be happy. She is short, 5'2'', but they weren't too tall. Just a tad big in the calf, but she said not too much and very comfortable. It would be great for tucking in jeans. Hope you get some more sizes.

Great boots!
December 18, 2010

These run true to "keen" sizing (i.e. 1/2 size bigger than what I normally wear). They were comfy the first time I put them on. Also quite warm. I was looking for a stylish boot that would also prevent me from slipping when wearing it in the snow/slush. These totally fit the bill.

Keen's Bern Baby Bern is hot-Hot-HAWT!
December 15, 2010

I have only had this Keen product for a short time, but I am already impressed with its' performance. I carefully examined the materials and workmanship and I expect this boot to serve me well for many years. I placed comfort, quality and durability highest in my shopping criteria. I wanted a boot to wear with skirts, keep me comfortable in winter conditions going from vehicle to building, comfortable when standing/walking and I feel the Keen Bern Baby Bern has surpassed my expectations in a winter/dressy-ish boot. I work in a library setting and wanted comfort and style. This boot allows me to comfortably traverse the building assisting patrons and shelving books; standing on tippy-toe for the highest and knelt/crouched down to the lowest shelves with ease. I feel the boot fits perfectly, though I do notice a difference between stocking/tights fit (loose) and fit when wearing socks (perfect). I believe I will purchase another pair in the same size and use either sole inserts or wear additional bootie-socks when wearing tights.

Best Purchase Ever
December 10, 2010

These Baby Bern Keen Boots are by far one of the best footwear items I have ever purchased. The fit is perfect and the look is perfect. These boots look great with jeans tucked in or out! They also look great with a short skirt and tights. I can wear them all day at work, then out for the evening and they still feel like slippers!

Without a doubt, the most comfortable boot I've purchased! Right out of the box they were easy to wear. The leather has a nice finish...not to formal...not to casual. Lots of positive comments from people. Love them.

form & function!
November 23, 2010

I've not purchased boots in a LONG time, so this was a big purchase. Nowhere is this boot on sale, since it's probably new for the season. But I had tried it on in a store already, and just HAD to have them. These boots are definitely more on the casual side, but with the nice leather, the strap detail and the attractive brown color, it gives off a very "put together" casual feel. I've worn them with leggings/mini skirt/cotton top/vest, with a sweater dress, with slim pants. I have yet to see how they hold up for the entire fall/winter seasons, through different weather. Haven't yet encountered rain, to see if they are really waterproof. As for fit, I normally wear size 8 in shoes, I have narrow feet. These boots fit fine with a pair of knit socks, with a lil room to spare (probably because of my narrow feet). The calf portion, with leggings, has some room. I'm sure I can fit jeans into the boot, but would have a hard time toward the ankle area, where it is more narrow. Overall, I've always liked KEEN shoes for their comfort. Now, I have something a little classier from the same company and am VERY pleased with it. I highly recommend them!

November 23, 2010

very happy with the buying, comfortable and nice. I did not used them yet on rainy days or snow for more info

November 17, 2010

Great boot! Very comfortable and looks great! I am a 8 or 8.5 and definitely had to go with an 8.5. They feel good and there is room enough for wool socks.

Sandal comfort in a boot
November 12, 2010

Wearing these boots right now as I write this review from the airport. These boots deliver what you'd expect from Keen; great comfort! On top of that they look like a stylish riding boot. I love the look of the buckles. The calf on these is generous but not sloppy and leather is a nice semi-distressed look. I normally wear an 8 1/2 but ordered the 9 to allow room for socks - perfect fit so I'd definitely recommend the half size bigger.

Very Nice Boot
November 08, 2010

I am glad I made this purchase. The boots live up to the claim of being both comfortable and fashionable. The sole/toe is not as chunky as my other keen shoes, in fact, it creates a feminine "slimming" effect on my foot. They are less shiny than they appear in the picture, which I actually liked better. I got a half size up, which fit perfectly, and the leg opening is probably about average--slightly loose on my skinny calves. The only drawback is that the leather seems less "tough" and durable than I would have expected, especially for the price, and is easily marked.

Keen Boots are Awesome!
October 26, 2010

Awesome boot, great fit, great comfort and I could walk in these all day! Keens are the best!

Very comfortable, high quality
August 10, 2010

Just received, so these are first impressions after wearing the boots out once. These are my 4th pair of Keen footwear; I keep coming back because I know Keen fits and are comfortable for my feet. So far this is still the case. As is typical for me and Keens, the boots are slightly on the tight side, snug but still comfortable. They seem to have good cushioning and the quality looks good. My only complaint is the leather finish is duller than in the photo, but I think they'll break in nicely. Otherwise they are just as expected.
