Keen Shelby High Boots: The Review
I have always loved Keen’s outdoor oriented shoes, and thought I’d give their “Boulevard Line,” shoes best suited for more casual use, a try. Keen seems to do as well with casual shoes as they do their hiking boots- I love my Shelbys! Living in a rain forest, the idea of owning leather boots just seemed silly. However, when I saw that the Shelbys came with the Keen.Dry technology that I know and trust, I figured I could give leather boots a try. So far, they’ve stood up to the downpours up here, and appear to be no worse for the wear.
The Good
- No heel! I love that I get the same traction that I would in a pair of Keen hiking boots while wearing fancy leather boots and a skirt!
- Boots have an elastic insert around the top that allows for some flexibility in your calves. They also have a bit bigger calf circumference than other leather boots I’ve tried on, which is nice for us more active ladies!
- Zipper is also waterproof so you’re not getting moisture that sneaks in unexpectedly.
The Bad
- Nothing negative to say about this boot. Another success for Keen.
