Fantastic comfort
I’ve had a terrible time finding comfortable safety toed boots. I’ve tried a lot of other brands. A good friend recommended Keens. Wow am I impressed! The top of my list is how light they are, for safety toes that’s huge. They look great, I highly recommend them!

Light, comfortable, and durable, not waterproof.
Excellent boot shoe. Grips very well. I wear them on smooth concrete surfaces covered in coolant, oil, and transmission fluid. So I might not get the best traction when oils or hydraulic fluids are coating the ground, but the fluids do not appear to be tearing up the soles of these boot shoes. Not only are they holding up to transmission fluid and oil, they are lasting without noticeable wear in the treads. I walk all day on concrete and usually wear through shoes, I am almost surprised to see these shoes standing up well. They are lighter than most boots and very comfortable. I don’t have a wide foot but these wide boot shoes allow me room to spread my toes and keep my feet from cramping all day. My only problem is they aren’t waterproof like leather boots would be. They are warm and water resistant, but if you step in water that only licks the top of the rubber sole it will get slightly damp inside the shoe within 10 sec. I love them though. Comfortable, light, and stylish while fitting a work environment style.

Comfortable, lightweight and look great!
Love these shoes. They look like sneakers and not boots. Also not a hit on the feet as my big leather work boots. Sizing runs a bit large, took me 3 tries to get the sizing right. 1/2 size down from regular sneakers seems to be the right spot. I read a bunch of comments about the shoe pinching the top of your foot. Day one I noticed this but after three 10 hour days the shoes are broken in and it’s completely gone, i think it’s just the shoe stiff out of the box. Will definitely buy these again in the future.

Pretty good
Fit very well, lasting so far. My only real complaint was the sole was kind of rough. Swapped it out for padded one

Not decent enough for the price
This is my first pair of Keen boots. I figured I would give them a fair 6 month review. I wear these about 50-60 hours per week as a dealership technician. My first impression of the shoes was great. Pretty lightweight based on the design. The only weight is from the sole and composite toe. They have a short break in period and wore well through the day. The insoles are decent for a stock set but could be a bit more comfortable. I chose these with the composite toe due to being an EV service tech and needing toe protection that would not cause an electrical hazard. Once the shoes fully broke in, I noticed the toe box area would dig into the top of my toes at some point when kneeling or stooping. About half way through the day, almost requires a sock change due to the lack of breathable area in the toe box which is expected with toe protection. I replaced the original insoles with another pair of Keen insoles 3 months into wearing them, due to lack of support and moisture retention while working. I also noticed the material of the shoes has started to fail which can be seen in the photo provided. The soles have pretty good traction and seem to wear like iron and still have excellent tread. 6 months in, I'm starting to notice leg fatigue in my calves and shins. Due to the fatigue, I am now searching for another pair of boots to put through the gauntlet. Fairly expensive for 6 months in the automotive field but was worth the try.

Great Shoes
These are the best shoes I’ve ever worn. I have large feet, so shoes are difficult to find that look good, feel good, and fit good. I ordered these at a size 15 and they’re perfect. They did take a few days to break in, but they’re excellent shoes.

Kinda sucks but better than heavy ahh boots
Lightweight, comfortable for about a month then the sole is just really thing , still better than stomping in steel toe boots all day when it’s not needed. Need to unlace half of the shoe to get my foot in which kinda sucks. Wearing these for about 2 months as a diesel mechanic and they’ve held up so far. Also broke the heel part getting my foot in it’s not really noticeable when you wear it but idk kinda sucks knowing that it broke
