KEEN Utility Atlanta Cool mens Work Shoes

Good quality

First true 2E size work shoe I've found. Plenty of support and comfort

These shoes feel great! They hit that sweet spot of "just enough" protection too. That being said, my feet are kind of weird - I have 10.5 wide feet and high arches. The asymmetrical steel toes feel good and these shoes provide adequate arch support. They are wide enough to be comfortable, but snug enough to stay put. The tie is a bit strange - I tuck it into the bottom cross and pull it out when I throw them on. This keeps the tag from bouncing on my foot as I walk and keeps the string tight, but this style of shoe-string may not be for everyone. The mesh top keeps it breathable. The mesh also keeps the boots from smelling like well, old sweaty work boots. Downside, water and dirt can get in pretty easy (obviously). I don't mind, but depending on what you use these boots for, they may not be for you. I work in a trade, and these shoes have held up to the abuse for a few months now without any noticeable damage or loss of comfort / function. Lastly, the steel toe is heavier than a composite toe. Not a huge deal, but after 8-12hrs work shift, you may regret those extra couple lbs. + Pros - Comfortable, Durable, Breathable, Reasonably Priced - Cons - Pretty open top, Shoe String not for everyone, Somewhat Heavy I recommend you go to your local shoe store and try a few pairs out. this particular style was exactly what I wanted - Comfortable, breathable work shoe/boots that offers the right level of protection. If they feel good, order from Amazon and save $40-80. My local store was selling these shoes for $50 more than Amazon.

Excellent fit. Got what am expected

Great ESD shoes. Love the "pull & lock" lace system. Very little light & comfy.

I'm a landscaper, i use to get really cheap 20 dollar Walmart shoes, blow through them in about 2 months completely unusable and replace. About 3 years ago I decided to try some keens even though they cost 3 times what wallmart shoes do. Well guess what? They last a full year or longer so I'm actually saving tons of money buying these, they have the durability of boots but the freedom of sneakers. Now don't get me wrong, there are times I will still wear boots depending on the job, but 90% of the time these are my go to. They may seem a little hard at first before you break them in, but 100% more confterble then boots after a few days. I walk a lot on uneven/rough terrain which is why normal shoes fall apart very quickly, these keens also have great grip on roofs (for those that go up there to clean gutters with a leaf blower on steep roofs). As I mentioned before these are worth the price, they also provide near boots quality resistance to dropping things on your feet, ever stubbed your toe because you are paying more attention to your work then how you walk? Well you won't feel a thing with these. Another important thing, your feet won't be sore at the end of the day like when you wear boots, if you have a labor intensive job I can't reccomend these enough, some may complain they are heavy, those people aren't using them for work, they are most likely only using them for hiking while they have desk jobs. Landscapers and construction workers who are used to actually moving for a living will not be bothered by their weight, trust me.
