Absolutely BRILLIANT work boots
Absolutely BRILLIANT work boots. I have struggled to find comfortable work boots in recent years, maybe my age (60) and maybe a bit of extra weight but over the last 3 - 4 years I have struggled with sore feet and often took several pairs of shoes and sneakers to work so I could change shoes during the day. Working as a landscaper means I'm outside on uneven terrain and always on my feet and often carrying large loads and these boots have made a HUGE difference to my feet... and I mean HUGE!!!! NO sore feet, nothing at all, come home and wear the boots around my garage and garden which I haven't done with any other boot for many years, I couldn't wait to get other boots off my feet.Keen work boots are not available where I live (New Zealand) but their hiking shoes/boots are and I've owned several pairs and loved them, they were super comfortable and lasted well, in fact I have a pair that are now over 7 years old and have done a LOT of work but still going strong. I started using my Keen hiking boots a work as a backup pair and they were so comfortable, no sore feet at the end of the day so I looked online to see if they did a line of work boots.... they have a big range, was hard to decide which boot to choose but I liked the look of these boots and they had good reviews and I'm very pleased to say they now have another glowing review.My older Keen boots were made in the USA, these are made in Vietnam, disappointing and I hope they last as well as the previous US made boots but even if they don't I'm ordering more Keen boots, maybe something a bit heavier for those winter days in the mud. I've been wearing these as a summer boot, we have a mild all year round climate so they will be fine even in winter although may not bee so great on wet days.Highly recommended boot from a very happy customer.

Ready to wear on day one!
I've already put in about 150,000 steps in the two weeks I've owned these shoes - that's about 70 miles of walking on concrete and steel. I'm 290lbs (130kg) - so you know I'm dropping down a lot of force. The first 12-hour shift, I brought my old shoes just in case I needed to ease into breaking-in these new shoes but never had to make the switch - wore them all 12 hours (30,000 steps). Just as comfortable on the first day of wearing them as I was in my old shoes after 4 million steps. Great style, color. They breathe well. Lightweight for work shoes, the toe box is ample (and is why I switched over to Keen). Even the insole is great - usually I have to immediately put in some Dr. Scholl's, but not these.

Great working shoes, with a minor need to improve comfort
Bought this shoes, worked as an electrician. This shoes took about 2 days to break in. My experience with the shoe is a pleasant one. Negative reviews state out soles unglued. I only noticed that happening when i used my shoes to sweep dirt from one place to the other when I was in a trench. I know that is not what the shoe is intended for, so I could see why it started unglued. I used them day in and out for about a year and did notice the shoe wearing out. I was outdoors in trenches, attics, and they felt great. Another negative other reviewers posted is they don't last more than a year. IMHO, I don't see that as a negative, I know a few electricians that buy new boots/shoes every year because the trade is demanding on your shoes. Price is decent, I've seen them as low as $70.00.Pros:The grip is fantastic, even in wet floors, and mud. They only issue was real loose gravel/dirt, I did tend to slip when trying climb out of a trench.They self clean, I used them in mud and submerged in concrete and with time time, mud will come off.The size I used to order the Keen shoes were my Aisics running shoe, and they fit great. There is a gap from my big toe to the end of the shoe, but as I started working, my feet would swell and the fit was good.Cons:insoles are incredibly thin, had to purchase there "extra" cushion insoles. Shoe was more comfortablePrice fluctuatesOverall, I would buy these shoes again and I would recommend.

Great steel toed shoe!
Exceeded expectations for a steel toed shoe and found them to be very comfortable, even after wearing them for 12 hours.

Great, long lasting safety shoe
My company reimburses me for one pair of safety toe shoes every year. I have tried many different brands and Keen is the only one that is still wearable after a year. I have multiple pairs that are three to four years old that I use for personal use after lasting a year of everyday wear. In my opinion Keen is the best safety shoe out there.
