KEEN Utility Men's, Independence 6 in Carbon Toe Waterproof Boot

strap

but they take weeks to break in, and meanwhile I'm getting blisters and painfully scraping my toe knuckles on the underside of the lacing rivets.

The other issue I had was on the right side there is a seam on the inside where it transitioned from the eyelets on the laces to the catches that pressed against my ankle and it hurt, a lot, over time.

size

So, I ordered these the same size and these, not so much.

pain

but no such luck, I just ended up in pain and really looking forward to taking them off.

sock

Make sure you wear thick socks to break them in.

running shoe

The sole of a workboot needs to be a harder rubber not something springy and soft like a running show.

keen-utility

This particular variation of built in the USA Keen utility boots are the lightest pair of US built boots that they make, that I know of.

These are easily the most comfortable pair of Keen utility boots that I’ve ever worn.

metal

Plenty comfortable, composite toe is about exactly the same weight as the soft toe (I have a pair of both).

boot

They’re even lighter than the Dearborn boot!

We have plenty of genuinely American made boots here.

Keen could pioneer making modern, athletic fit boots here as well.

For years and years I've been getting [same name as Detroit's hockey team], which are an excellent boot

I’m barefoot when I’m not at work, and these boots squash the toes together much less than any other boot I’ve tried.

Seem to be fairly waterproof from splashes (have not tried full lower boot submersion).

comfortable

These were comfortable right out of the box, and after putting 6 miles on them the first day my feet still felt fine when I took them off at night.

These Keens are very comfortable and I honestly was able to wear them all day without having blisters or difficulty with them.

It fit perfectly and has served well in construction work even in another country.

but they are great quality should they fit you.

KEEN Men's Work Boots

sole

The soles (specifically on the toe and heel areas) have disintegrated.

After about 6 months the soles were noticeably worn and peeling away from the boot around the heel/arch ladder notch as well as the outside edge near the arch.

damage


Wore the boots 4 times and leather and toes cracked out.

arch

The only thing I didn't like is that there was zero arch support on the insoles provided.

yard/garden

but wore out quickly
Used this boot for a variety of jobs including landscaping, construction, and tree work.

wear fast

Keen Utility Bigfoot Boots are a winner
I purchased these last fall to prepare for the typical Maryland Winter's snow throwing adventures.

Comfortable right out of the box
I work in an Aluminum foundry so I'm hard on work boots.

They are THE most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned.

So, I absolutely DO and HAVE recommend(ed) these boots.

Best boot I’ve ever owned except
I am a carpenter/contractor so at first I wore them sparsely (for about 6 weeks) because I did not want to wear them out to quick because they were so comfortable and crocks are my go to in the summer in upstate New York.

From working in water, hydraulic fluid, metal and sand I have put these boots to the test in the short time I've had them and I'm so glad I purchased them.

I wear a 15 wide and these boots were comfortable right out of the box with plenty of toe room.

These Keens are lightweight, comfortable, and seemingly well made.

They’re very light, very comfortable, and durable.

I’ve had the boots for 7 months, they have been very comfortable and come clean with little to no effort.
