- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016Color: BlackSize: 14 WideVerified PurchaseGreat boots. I wear a 15w and keens are a great fit. These have rubber wrapping the top of the steel toe so it eleminates toe rub through. Oil tamed leather and viburum sole, water proof and holding up great. I'm on my feet all day and have plantar fasciitis and heel Spurs, the custom orthotics fit fine and the boot mid gives good support. I have been in these every day for 4 months and have had minimal issues.
My only complaint is one of the lace hooks came off in the first week from a rivet that wasn't centered when it was expanded. This did not sour me on the boots. Other wise the cut, quality, fit, and finish are great on these boots.
Spend money on your feet, you'll miss them when they're used up.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016Color: BlackSize: 10.5Verified PurchaseI've been a Redwings wearer for 20 years but have been repeatedly disappointed in their declining quality in recent years. I've had good luck with Keen hiking boots so I decided to give these a shot sight unseen and I'm glad that I did. These boots are exceedingly comfortable right out of the box which is something I've never experienced in a work boot before. In just a few days they feel like you've been wearing them for months. The quality appears to be top notch in all regards and your feet feel well protected. The soles have great traction and are non slip which I find to be critical in a work boot. I work in a shipyard and as anyone that has done that sort of work knows - it is an unforgiving environment that punishes clothing and footgear. These boots seem like they'll be up to the task. I can't speak to their durability yet but I'm optimistic based upon their construction.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016Color: BlackSize: 9Verified PurchaseStarted wearing these about a week ago. They're starting to get comfortable and broken in. Love how light these are for steel toe, compared to the Keen Cleveland steel toe boots that I've worn pretty much everyday for the last 3 years. This is my 3rd pair of Keen boots, and I will probably be a Keen consumer for life. They are that good! Would have given 5 ⭐'s, but I'm a little concerned about the laces holding up over time...they are very noticeably smaller (half the thickness..see pic) of the laces that came with my two previous pairs of boots. Hopefully this is not Keen trying to cut corners on the quality that they are known for.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024Color: BlackSize: 9.5Verified PurchaseThe vest work boots I have ever bought. They are comfortable, durable, keep my feet safe and dry. They are not as heavy as other steel toe boots. The arch support helps my huge arches. They are easy to slide on and off. The insoles are very comfortable. They are easy to clean with the slick leather. Slip resistant soles keep me safe from falling. These are my all-time favorite pair of work boots.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2015Color: BlackSize: 11Verified PurchaseThese boots are fantastic they fit me really well and look and feel great. I wish they had a side zip but that's not a major draw back for me. The stock nylon laces seem a bit low quality and kind of flimsy (though they're not falling apart now, time will tell). I'm very happy with the boots.
I'm fairly sure I received a previous customers second hand returned pair which were still in a new condition but out of the box had slight though noticeable scratches, crease marks and light visible wear on the top front of the boots consistent with having been worn for a day or two and someone squatting down whilst wearing them which was mildly disappointing because I bought and paid for a brand new pair of boots. The Boots are excellent.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014I've tried numerous brands and styles of safety toe in my adult life. This is my first experience with Keen. I bought these as a replacement for my combat boots that I wore during the later part of my military career. I now work in a machine shop and I am on my feet, on oily concrete, for about 10 hours a day. Some days I'm walking nonstop, some days I'm standing in the same spot the entire time, some days I'm crouched, hunched, or on the trapeze 40 feet in the air on a beam. I needed a shoe that could handle all of that without killing my feet/legs/back. The two biggest reasons for buying these are my back/leg pain from my old ones, and with winter approaching, the slippery heel of the combat boots. Those things might as well be ice skates.
I've had these for several weeks now. Out of the box, I could tell they are going to last a while. It had nice thick, sturdy leather, a scuff resistant material covering the toe and lower arch, and a good tread. The insole seemed okay at the time. Upon trying them on, they fit well but didn't feel much different than my old boots in the comfort category. I figured they just needed to be broken in.
On the first day at work with them, I noticed several things. I used a hiker's lacing to keep my heel as far back as possible because they were a little snugger around the toe than anticipated.. bad idea. The "padding" at the top of the shoe put a nice sized indent into my achilles that was almost too painful to bear after 10 hours of wear. I also noticed the heaviness and bulk of the shoe, most likely a product of it's sturdy construction. There is so much padding around the ankle that wearing normal slacks can be annoying when they ride up on top of the shoe after kneeling or getting out of the car. Day two was somewhat better. I used a modified hiker's lace to give me a little more room. Unfortunately that made the bunching of the pant leg a little worse. After several days of adjusting, as well as them breaking in a little (very stiff leather at first), they are actually nice to wear.
However, even after several weeks, I still suffered from back and foot pain at the end of the day. I turned my attention to the insole. After pulling the removable one out a few days ago, I noticed it was very worn and now hard as a rock. I immediately hopped online and ordered a pair of gels. I got them today so stay tuned on an update on that. After a short test drive this afternoon, the gels seem, by far, way more comfortable than the original inserts. I'll keep you posted.
Pros:
- Well built and sturdy
- Great slip resistance
- Excellent foot protection (saved mine a few times already) and scuff resistance
- Look cool (I've gotten several positive comments)
Cons:
- Heavy and bulky
- Horrible "foot bed" (insole)
- Very long break in time
- Price (I payed $147)
Bottom line:
So far, overall, these are just okay. If you want a shoe that will protect your tootsies and still look nice in a hostile environment, these might be a good option, but if you are looking for out-of-the-box comfort, I say look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
Color: BlackSize: 9.5Verified PurchaseI didn't even need boots, but Keen is my go to and for some reason my size in these boots (9.5) were only $94 so I snatched them. Comfy, roomy but not too loose. A fairly heavy duty boot with a nice but not too tall defined heel. We'll see about durability but for under $100 (not sure why) you can't go wrong. Just one more pair of Keen's to my collection. Plain black they look great, medium as far as weight, not light but not over heavy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesomistic!!!!
Color: BlackSize: 14 WideVerified PurchaseThis is the best pair of boots I have ever worn. For the Canucks ordering these there is no green CSA sticker but they are steel toe. I wear these up to 17.5 hrs a day (work two great jobs) and walk up to 5 miles daily and they are comfortable and surprisingly light for a solid work boot!! 6’4” and close to 300lbs and these boots have been put through hell and back and are holding up well. Only drawback is that I have worn out my first set of laces but the soles and leather have held up beyond expectations. You could wear these anywhere they look so good!! 5/5 stars +++++++
