Good boot for the right person.
3 Stars
Good boot for the right person.
Unlike most reviewers I had to buy this product with my own money. I have worn these boots for a few days now and have a good list of pro's and cons. Be forewarned that these boots are shorter than what is typical. I wear a 10W in my old keen shoe and these boots I ordered at 10.5W and I just barely fit in the boot. If you normally wear a 11 and it's just the right size you will need to order a 12. If you wear a 10.5 and it's a little long, go for the 11.The boot overall is nice and looks really good. Keen typically has a specific look and these boots are missing that piece. They arrived in a box and the shoe box was the keen packaging. The boots arrived in pristine condition with a little bit of oil on them. The boot looked really sharp and not typical of what shoes being shipped look like. The short of it is, I will never buy the boots again because they are not good for me.In the pictures I have shown my old keen shoe and pics of what the boot looks like with jeans.Pros:The boot looks sharp and many people have complimented me on these boots than any other boots I have had before.The fit on these boots feels really good on the feet.The boot broke in sometime the second day.They are waterproof, but the leather will show a different color and make a weird noise when you walk.The way the laces are designed you can put the boot on with them laced all the way to the top.Cons:These boots are hot! Wearing them all day makes my feet feel really hot (not wet tho) and I cannot wait until the end of the day to take the boots off and feel the cool air.If you have problems standing for long periods and your feet hurt, this boot does not help. You will need to get a boot like Georgia Boots.This boot is more for someone who works in a place that requires steel toes but not being on your feet all day.The lace up system doesnt really allow for a tighter fit on the boot and they always slacken up during the day.

Super comfortable! Pictures are deceiving there is deeper tread than it looks like in the photos. Would have gotten 5 stars but I like speed laces, although these are still easy to slip on and off with only the top being a speed lace...
Very nice boots so far, I will update after a few months on my feet!

UPDATE: not sure what date I wrote the original review on these boots. However since that time I have worn out four pairs of these boots. And as of writing this just had my fifth pair delivered. So I can confidently say with about three to four year experience with these boots, they are some of the best on the market.
These boots, as I’ve stated in the past, wear like sneakers. Light, flexible but tough. You feel protected but agile. Now I am a 6’ 270lb General Contractor. I know all about boot durability. If you think you think you are going to get more than a season out of boots, then you don’t work on them, period. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I will be buying multiple pairs of boots each year and my feet will be comfortable.
I used to wear Carolina loggers, they are good durable boots, but they are heavy and don’t flex, so end of day my feet always hurt. So IMO this is the way to go super comfortable boots, that may only last a year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, lightweight and American made.
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

A good boot, made in the USA. Light weight but good quality leather. Two weeks in, i typically wear 9-10 hrs a day; mix of steel decks and concrete floors. Lots of walking. No foot pain at all and they broke in pretty easily. I am a size 10D with most sneakers, sometimes a 10.5D. I went with a 10.5D and they fit great with a work sock. The asymmetrical steel toe is great for me, especially if your toes are on the wider range.

My only complaint is i wish the top three eyelets were speed hooks. Still undecided on the insole, I may replace with another. I work in SoCal, my feet do sweat in these but no more than any other leather work boot ive worn.

Ive had or tried Redwing, Danner, Thorogood and Timberlands. With the exception of the Redwing King Toe, i find RW has a narrow toe box which never fit well for me. Danner are great, but heavy. Thorogood...didnt care for the craftsmanship. Timberlands I always liked but the sole usually cracks at the ball of the foot and the liner always develops holes. I hope these Keen's last.

These are great boots for my needs. I have feet with normal width heels and wide balls, so my shoes are sometimes tricky. I ordered the wide. These feel very comfortable to me. As always, the heels are a bit roomy for me, but the rest of the last seems to fit perfectly. Big toe box, so no trouble there. Definitely waterproof. I stood in a bucket of water to test. (If they leaked, they were going back.) The top eyelet is a quick loop, but doesn't snag my trouser leg, so that's good. I tied knots in the lace ends so they couldn't unlace, and I find I can wear them as slip-ons much of the time. I don't have to snug them unless I need traction--I can clomp around with boots that wear like sandals when I'm between doing the hard stuff. I'm very happy with these boots. Haven't had them long enough to report on durability, but I'm optimistic, given the apparent quality of construction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let the trial begin.

They're a good comfortable boot. 4 stars is due to an eyelet rivet coming apart. So I just used the available hole provided by the missing rivet. Like I said, comfortable, they feel sturdy. I work in a oil refinery so time will tell. My boots typically last about 1 year. I have a pair that's lasted 2 so far. That's with heavy use like, walking all day thru oils and various refined chemicals carrying a boilermaker tool bag (30-50 lbs on any given day), stepping on hot equipment that melts boot soles, and other refinery tasks. Anyway, I usually wear Timberland pros lace up or slip on. Found those after years of wasting money on every type of boot out there, from Ariat to Wolverines even red wings. I love those boots(Timberland's). I just wanted to try these because others I work with praise them. So let the trial begin, but so far right out of the box. Comfortable.

So far so good. I really like the Keen work boot line; various models have been reliable to me for the past several years. I bought this pair to replace a pair of Detroit 8" that had some eyelet damage from work. They fit well and hopefully will hold up well, just as the last few pairs have. I would not hesitate to purchase again, especially since my employer soaks up some of the cost.

Just received my Mt. Vernon's. Amazon was a little late in shipping them out, but worth the wait. I was a little concerned after having reviewed the reviews on these boots especially with the leather cracking near the end of the composite toe box. But, after having worn them around the house and then putting some leather waterproofing (beeswax, neetsfoot oil, and lanolin) on them, I think the boots will last a lot longer then a year. I don't think a lot of poeple really know how to properly care for leather boots. I like to get the dirt off and re-hydrate the leather so they'll last longer. The boots fit as they are sized and they are comfortable right out of the box without break in. Order them, you'll love them! New fan of KEEN. I became a fan after having purchased a pair of their sandals...love them too.

Confortables dès le premier jour. J'ai essayé plusieurs marques mais les Keen sont le summum. Elles sont faites assez larges au niveau des orteilles même pour les D. Elles respirent bien, je les ai porté à -25C pendant près d'une heure en bougeant et je n'ai pas senti de fraîcheur. Normalement, je les porte à l'intérieur et je n'ai pas tendance à trop suer des pieds.
