I have been an Amazon customer for over 10 years and I have never been compelled to write a review as quickly as this one.These shoes are incredibly confortable. I have no idea how they managed to make work shoes this comfortable. They look pretty nice as well.I always struggle to find good shoes since I have wide feet. I ordered 10 wide and these are actually wide. Most shoes say they are wide, but they still fit me snug. I’m ok with snug running or workout shoes, but not for shoes I will be using walking around a 100,000 square foot warehouse.I have only worn these shoes for 10 minutes and I am loving them. As long as they keep making them like this, I will keep getting these until I retire. Even then, they may be of some use when doing work around the house or on my cars.Thank you Keen for helping me start off 2023 with awesome work shoes.
This is my second pair. When I original bought the first pair, I went to a store and tried one nearly twenty pairs of safety toed tennis shoes. The Keens were the best by far. I have both wide and flat feet. I had worn cheaper steel toed shoes with inserts. They do not even compare to these. No insert required. The toe is aluminum, not steel, which helps to make the shoe even lighter. I will buy another pair once these need to be replaced.
These shoes have served well, and they're comfortable enough, even with my orthotics inserted, but after 9-10 months, the fabric is coming apart on the upper, where the toe bends. The safety toe is good.
Second pair I’ve purchased. Comfortable and light. Wear ten hours a day on concrete. Will buy again when these wear out. Last pair lasted over two years.
This is so comfortable. I have purchased so many toe protective shoes and by far these are the best I’ve had. They have great support and a cushioned sole. This is my second pair, just to have a different color in the shoes.
The ESD is VERY WEAK for these safety shoes. They are Not compatible with cushion insoles. It would guarantee failure at the ESD tester. Then after 2 weeks of use (without cushion insoles) the shoes began to fail at the ESD tester regularly. I now have to wear foot straps on what's supposed to be ESD work shoes. I already have a pair of KEEN-ESD Work Boots that have No Issues with passing the ESD tester at work. Regardless of walking through the rain from the parking lot to get into the warehouse. Unfortunately, these KEEN-Sparta work shoes are Very Weak ESD rating. However, they are good Safety Toe shoes. So one star for the safety toe. The ESD part is Not Good for these shoes.
Lightweight, durable so far only had for 3 months. Most of my keen shoes only last 8 months before lace loop hols start to break and the area where it is ventilated on the shoe starts to rip.
Super light-weight and comfortable. True to size, I'm a 12 in boots and shoes. Time will tell on durability. Wish there was a little bit more arch but I can always put insoles in
