User Reviews
I have these in the low top and figured these would fit about the same. They hit at the ankle which is a little awkward as the laces tie right where your ankle bends and they need to be laced all they way up to stay firmly on. They are very soft leather so I’m hoping they will give a little after wearing a few times. They are very cute and look great with leggings.
It really comfortable with my keen shoes
I have wide stubby feet with bilateral neuromas with a tendency to pronate. I tend to do really well in Keens. But this line of Lorelei shoes is made of this lovely soft leather-like material that is kinda like a very light tennis-runner with a thin sole -- quite unlike most other Keens. Just didn't have the support and substance I expected. Also runs a bit narrower/smaller than is usual for Keens sizing. I recommend you try half size larger. Colors are great -- soft rose, dusty blue, charcoal black.
Love these Keen chukka shoes/ mini boot! They are soft, flexible, no arch for zero imprint when walking... and love the color!
The price was pretty good. The info said they were not waterproof, so I applied a couple coats of waterproofing to the leather and seams. I live in the PNW, so time will tell. The weatherproofing I used caused the brindle shade to go a darker gray/brown, but I like the darker shade. I'm still wearing my summer Keen sandals, which I love. I hope the chukka shoes hold up as well as the sandals. Overall I am very pleased.
Comfy lots of compliments
These are women’s, they’re mislabeled. I bought a “men’s 7” and they are perfect for my women’s 7 foot. :)
Love the product but fits much tighter than standard keen shoes. Order a suze larger. Luckily my son wears size 9's, so he can wear the 10's. I orderd 11's to have a pair for myself.
