KEEN UtilityMen's San Jose 6" Alloy Toe Wedge Work BootLeather Working Group

Great fit, very comfortable!

Great looking boots! Keen quality and comfort are always top notch.

I expected more out of a brand name like Keen. I have been wearing these boots for 16 days and both boots have the rubber bottoms peeling off at the toes. I read reviews before purchasing and thought there might have been a bad batch of boots but it appears that every pair is of poor quality. I would not recommend buying these for any type of use and definitely not as a work boot. I will wear these boots until the bottoms come completely off which I imagine will be in a couple of weeks. I have since bought a pair of Thorogoods and will not buy another pair of Keens.

These boots are incredible! It truly feels like it was made with love. They feel very durable and comfortable.

These boots would be better if they had speed hooks for the last two lace holes. I can’t take them on and off if I don’t have the laces removed from the top two holes. That’s why they need speed hooks. I love the color though and I like the moc toe and wedge sole. Hopefully they hold up. I wore them for a solid day with no foot pain.

For ME an insole change put these right alongside Thorogoods , for a 1/3rd of the price ! A very light comfortable boot . At no point during my workday do these feel like work boots . The wide toe box makes the aluminum toe un noticeable

To start, I usually dont give out reviews unless a product warrants it. I work as a welder/fabricator so im on my feet for a good portion of the day, doing anywhere from 9-12 hour days. Before I jump into the negatives, i have to give credit to the shoe--it fits true to size.Ive had this shoe for about 2 weeks now and this is the most comfortable work shoe i've worn to date, barely any break in time--it feels like a casual shoe. I did change out the insole for my preferred brand (sofsole work) and it made the shoe much more comfortable as the original insole that comes with it has this weird "step/hump" that you can feel about mid-arch area, not felt at all with my thicker insole. The laces feel heavy duty but we shall see about longevity. I like that it is unlined/not insulated much if at all, an important aspect since the Arizona weather can be relentless with feet sweating and ventilation. The lace system is ok, I wish it was a speed lace up top but oh well.I had the unfortunate opportunity to test out the toeguard already only 2 weeks into owning this shoe and, well, I wish the toe guard/box area was about another half inch to 1" or so longer, as this probably would have saved my toe from being bruised as it currently is from dropping a piece of thick sheetmetal on it by accident from only a few inches above and just missing the toeguard area. For reference, it dropped right where the base of my toe meets the rest of my foot/the "hinge" area, or speaking medically, right where the phalange of the large toe meets the metatarsal bones--I really feel this is a smaller toe guard than other shoe brands I have worn.The first week, I noticed a thread stitch starting to come undone, this 2nd week I noticed the other shoe had a stitch coming out. At this rate, 6 months looks to be the lifespan before im expecting to buy another pair. The leather already has some holes forming. It is quite soft, so im guessing thats part of the comfort level factor.With that said, I know this boot wasnt designed for the welding environment and this is more of a general purpose safety shoe and there are plenty of other great choices out there to fulfill the welding environment duty (I usually go with my cowboy boot style steel toes) and im not sure yet if I would give this shoe another chance on the next go around of shoe purchases, so thats TBD. I cant give this shoe greater than 3 stars, but I cant give it any less either. I do like it, but dont love it either. For the time being, I'll try to be a bit more careful haha.

Excellent boot for industrial settings on concrete, also good for equipment operation and extensive walking. I had always worn Danner boots and decided to try a new maker...I purchased a pair of Keen Lansing boots and they were horrible...clunky and cumbersome, really heavy and they would not break in, caused a lot of discomfort and were failing at the seams in less than a month...I immediately ordered another pair of Danner Bull Run Moc Toes to replace them...or so I thought...I was bummed when I realized I screwed the order up ( I pulled these accidentally from the "save for later" list under my cart) ...and these arrived...I decided to give them a shot as I had already thrown out the Lansing's and needed something for work on Monday...I was shocked as to how comfortable they were, even with the stock insole (which I normally change immediately) ..I chugged around the garage and walked the dog in them, trying for a couple hours to find a hotspot, chafe or clunk that bugged me...but they literally felt broke in within minutes, I mean like slipper comfortable...I am a total convert...Keen was not an option after the first pair, but I'm glad I screwed up...these are great and work awesome on the bike too! The flat sole allows you to put your foot anywhere on the board with confidence...its the feel of a sneaker with the protection of a steel toe boot...I love 'em!
