Hello,
Well, I read over the other reviews and seem to agree with what most have to say: these are funky looking and functional boots. I can shovel the sidewalk and then go to a local art show opening and still maintain a level of rural-chic.
I can't wear short socks with them, though. When I walked to the store in them (2.2km), the top part rubbed on my legs and I now have two red burn marks that circle the front half of my legs. Lesson learned. I don't let my other boots touch my bare skin, I don't know why I thought I could get away with it with a pair of Keen boots.
