KEEN Utility Men's Pittsburgh 6" Leather Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots

I'll start by saying that I am very rough on shoes. Department store shoes normally last me 3 or so months before there are holes in the side of them, and or rubber bumpers peeling off. I have now had these just shy of a year, and they are in great shape (minus the abuse I inflicted on them) I work as a diesel tech, and I'm on my feet for 12+ hours a day on concrete. These shoes are very comfortable! Some days I wear them for 16 hours and my feet still dont hurt! I really like the lace retention device they use (I did break on off... but that was from a giant log that nearly smashed my foot.) They provide a very positive lock to keep your shoes tied all day. I did upgrade my laces to some kevlar ones because of the welding and torch splatter that eventually burnt holes through the laces. The rubber on the toes are holding up great compared to the dozen other shoes I've had, nothing is peeling away from being on my knees working on concrete. Pros and cons PROS Fits as expected, very durable, winter time warmth is pretty good (working outside in 25 F to 30 F degrees my feet stayed warm), Summer time breathability is great (your feet still sweat, but they aren't over heated), lace retention device's are great, Super comfortable, Oil resistant, tread lasts a long time, steel toe is in a good spot for kneeling down. CONS If they came with kevlar laces that would be the cats meow, I can't complain about anything else. In short I will be a loyal customer now that I've seen the immense quality of these boots! To often you dont get what you pay for, but I can tell you that these boots are defiantly worth 200$! I will not hesitate to buy these boots once mine wear out!

Very comfortable

Great boots. I've put these though some decent labor and they've held up and have great foot/ankle support. Would be interested in trying their energy line next time.

I will begin by saying that these DO NOT fit like traditional work boots. They are rugged hiking boots to the core, I was first put off by the fit only because I was a 4 year Red Wings boot wearer. Anther note, DO NOT purchase them from Amazon, you will not save enough money in the process, even if you are a Prime member, to regret the boots and not have the ability to return them after wearing them for a few days. Purchasing from the Keen site directly gives you what looks to be a 90 day no questions asked return policy and the price is within 10ish dollars of Amazon. Also, have your foot sized, they seem run to the exact size of your foot. Now for brevity I will list pros and cons Pros: Awesome steel toe (left and right specific), tough rubber toe cap (should take a long while to wear through), *laces stay put! (also a con, more later), Light weight (my Red Wings were 2.5 lbs each, these are half that), Aggressive tread (grabs very well where my other boots would have slipped) Very water proof (was on a job that was a mud hole for weeks) Comfortable (my back would tell me otherwise very quickly) Fit well/feel good right out of the box Cons: Compared to traditional work boots, walking in them takes a day or so to get use to them. *They have a set of what I will call 'locking lace hooks' they will not let up if you tighten the laces too tight, I did tighten them much too tight (from how I tied my previous Red Wings) and my feet suffered much from that, on that note, tying them to a comfortable tension yielded a very good fit. The water proof lining tends toward not breathing well, could also tend toward getting hot on really hot days. Not resole-able (still a hiking style boot) The insole could be better but they haven't driven me to get new ones yet. Might replace them some day with the Red Wing insoles I liked so much. Realistically can't tell you if they are truly worth the money until I have been completely through them. I am in construction and have been for 14 years (framer for 14 and now an electrician) the pair of Red Wings I laud and mention in this review is an apple compared to the orange that the Keen boot is. They are just too different in fitment to say one is better than the other, so I can't and won't. I will say that I am walking all day (lots of varied uneven terrain)and up and down a ladder very much all day (electricians will understand) LIKE the Red Wings, or any boot for that matter, with these Keen boots I do not think about the boots, my feet, calves or back at all throughout the day, if I am not having to think about that stuff then in my opinion the boots are doing their job. I have put these boots through 10 hour days 6 days a week since first putting them on. Bottom line, I would recommend them to workers who are on there feet and on the move all day, but who also are brave enough to try something new AND different, as they are not your typical work boot. I will give them my full vote of confidence upon them lasting at least 2 years. We'll see! Hope this helped.

These shoes, I have been buying these brand and wearing some models for work for the past 6 years. Great brand. Reliable, durable, comfortable. Keen is the brand of my choice. Love this brand. Worth it every penny. Recommended

Update: After a year of daily wear, I'm pleased to report that these work boots have held up exceptionally well. They continue to provide the same comfort and support that I initially praised. I've been using them at the power plant, where I walk on gravel, asphalt, and frequently climb stairs and ladders, and they've consistently offered a great sense of security. Regarding the minor issue with the laces coming undone easily, it seems that with more wear and usage, they have improved and now stay tight for longer periods. Additionally, the sole has proven to be durable, even through the cold months. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend these work boots. They have exceeded my expectations and have proven to be a reliable choice for daily use in demanding environments. Original review: I like how comfortable the work boots are. They have great support and are easy to fit into. I have been using it for about 2 weeks at the power plant and they have been holding up pretty well. I walk around on gravel, asphalt and go up stairs as well as ladders and they offer great support and good sense of security. I will update after 1 year which is the minimum I expect I this price point. One minor issue are the laces that tend to come undone easily. Maybe with more wear they will hold tight longer. Also, because of how little use I have given them, I’m not sure how the sole is gonna hold up, especially with the cold months coming soon. As I mentioned before, I will update once those concerns are addressed.

Great boots

Redwing Wing Shooter (Iron Worker) boots were great - didn't need to break them in, worked 12 and 14 hour days with no issues. I thought they were the best. Scarpa Zanskar GTX hiking boots, fit perfect - wore them out of the box and went backpacking for 4 days. Got one blister but whatever, it was a hell of a slog. I bought these boots to try them out versus my current Irish Setter ELY 83400 go to work boots. What a surprise! They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Not fit in a store, no previous experience with Keen - no real reason for trying them out other than I saw them a lot while working on a cruise ship. I have been wearing them for a month (*In fairness - every other day - for about 10 years I always have 2 pairs of boots on the go so never wearing the same boots day after day). No issues, standing up well - never been wet (other than sweat). I will update on durability in the future.

No especifica que es talla wide, es decir, viene para pie ancho

Muy comodas, puedes traer estas botas todo el día y no te cansan ahora solo será ver la duración total.

Great product, great price. Thank you !!!!!!

There was no breaking in, very comfortable and waterproof. Great boot.
