Two things are most important for winter footwear items to have: warm and waterproof. Sure, style is nice, as well, however it seems that people are often cool with picking up a bit of quirkiness with winter boots if they’ll just keep their feet warm and dry.

KEEN Women's Elsa Chelsea WP Boot
  • Leather and Synthetic.

Give the Keen Women’s Elsa Chelsea Boots a spin on a cold winter day, and you may just want to keep them around all season.

The boots are made from polyurethane and non-marking rubber, plus a waterproof synthetic leather and textile upper. Everything is seam-sealed for waterproof protection, and a microfleece and super soft mesh lining keep your feet dry.

Keen.Warm technology, a lightweight insulation that comes from charcoal bamboo, provides warmth for your feet down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit, and a heat-reflecting Strobel board creates a thermal barrier for warmth, so it all stays inside.

Boots can get a bit funky as the season goes on, but Cleansport NXT treatment offers natural odor control to help keep the bad funk down.

I’m a huge fan of the non-marking rubber outsoles, because I can’t count the times I’ve accidentally left marks on floors and then, feeling guilty, had to find something with which to wipe them away.

The boot interior has a comfortable footbed design, engineered to provide excellent arch support and cradle the natural contours of the foot.

When you have to be on your feet all day, whether walking around on vacation, going snowshoeing, hitting a tailgate and sporting event, or merely running errands at home, you’ll be glad for it.

The Keen Elsa Chelsea Boots come in a few colors and color combinations: Zinfandel (deep red), beluga (black), star white/black, and cocoa/desert sage.
