Costly but worth it. As safety shoes go this is the most comfortable I’ve ever owned. Lots of room for toes. Doesn’t get overly hot while wearing for 12 hour periods
These things are comfortable and durable! I am in construction and need a good strong boot to hold up under the rugged conditions! Keen definitely holds up much better than most of their competitors I have tried a lot of brands and keep coming back to keen. It seems like other boot companies have started lacking on their quality and the prices keep going up, but keen for the last 12 years have been consistent! Highly recommended!!!
Quality built, as usual. Good traction and comfort. However, coming from the 4.5” Braddocks, Im having a hard time getting use to the extra length of the 6” boots. Also, these fit about a half size too big. I normally wear a 9.5 in all 6 pairs of keens I’ve had, these fit bigger and I didn’t realize it until my 7 days of free try on were up. If I could, I’d swap for a 9 or 9 wide. Anyways, the boots look fantastic. Other than that, Keen should seriously look into putting a similar sole on all their boots. Water and air pockets have been a major deficiency with all of my Keen Work boots. If they had a nice gum sole that is one piece without all the crevasses and unnecessary detail (Pittsburg, Braddock) I believe that would fix the leakiness of the Braddock and others. I have 4 pairs of those that are still not wore out but they’re unbearable to hear after you walk in a small amount of water, because water gets trapped in random air pockets close to the heel of the sole. I guess you could say they’re all prematurely worn out. The Ft. Wayne looks like it will be free of those problems, just because the sole looks so solid. The weight of these ft. Wayne’s seem a little heavier as well, but I wouldn’t call them a “heavy” or bulky boot. The soles and mid immediately provides superior durability vs previous Braddock and Pittsburgh I’ve owned. Idk why every Keen boot doesn’t have this gum sole. If it was attached to the 4.5” all leather bison/blue Braddock, I’d have my dream boot. I rate this boot 4/5 because it is bigger than other Keens I’ve had and the blister it’s wore on top of my index toe.
I've owned many many many pairs of boots in my life and typically beat on them pretty hard. These broke in quickly and are the most comfortable, lightweight and supportive boots I've owned. On several occasions I've kept them on just sitting around the house and don't even realize I'm still wearing them they are so comfortable. Huge fan of Keen and glad they came out with the utility line! These were so good I bought a second pair from the utility line.(Side note) I had to order a 1/2 size down because they run slightly large.
Awesome boots. Runs big
These are the most comfortable pair of safety boots I’ve ever had. I’ve had much more expensive pairs of boots that didn’t feel as good as these. Genuinely impressed. The carbon toe is nice because it doesn’t get cold in the winter (I leave my boots outside on porch overnight) I have super wide feet & the wides accommodate my freakishly wide feet perfectly lol. I’ll honestly be buying this same pair again next year when I wear these out.
Fast delivery
Product I ordered was awesome. Amazon is getting continually worse about changing ship dates after you place the order.
