User Reviews
I literally just received these and am wearing them around the house before work tomorrow.These *feel* a lot light and cooler than my regular work shoes (Timberland Pro steel toed shoes...don't remember the model, two pairs of those, which are great shoes, but a bit heavier, and they get pretty hot without much breathability).I'm on the fence about the little lacing gimmick: on the one hand, they're almost halfway between slip-on shoes, which is kind of nice for running to the grocery or whatever.No idea how they'll hold up to constant warehouse walking, but if it's bad, I can just take off the plastic gizmos and lace them like normal! Shouldn't be a major surgery, just slide the plastic bits off. That's the only for four out of five stars: in a busy warehouse, it's not a great idea to be adjusting one's "shoe lace system" all the time. But, they can be just removed. I still think it's a bad idea....pretty sure most adults who wear steel-toed shoes have mastered the art of tying one's shoelaces.Plus, they look cool as hell.And, while I usually go for an E or EE in work shoes, they only had a men's width D (regular width) in size 13. Plenty of room, and nice roomy toe box, which I like. So that was a nice surprise.EDIT (no change in stars or basic idea): yeah, I liked these for their slip-on loafer quality, but after wearing them at work a few times, I found the lacing system just not good enough.I did remove the plastic bits (you take a knife or something and pry open the end cap, and the whole thing slides apart. It appears you can reassemble the pieces or use them on other shoes, I guess.Still not a really "tightly laced" snug, secure feeling shoe, but I'm more confident in my ability to tie my shoes than to use the plastic gizmo.And the gizmo is pretty neat, and works surprisingly well.A warning, though: the whole system of ferrules and lacing is built around the plastic gizmo, it seems, so even without it, it's not as secure a hold on the upper foot as other shoes/boots.However, they still look pretty cool, and the stock insole has been pretty good for me (haven't wanted to swap the insoles out yet).NEWEST EDIT: No, the lace retention system used by Keen is regrettably inferior. In order to lace the shoes acceptably, one needs to retain the spring clip that lies about the tongue at the top of the shoe (closest towards the wearer's head).While the shoe is simple enough to tie with the spring clip in place in a normal fashion, the plastic end caps which compliment (yes, that's the correct spelling in this case) this system cannot be reassembled in any reasonable way.Therefore, add another $10 US for the purchase of some actual Lock Laces or another replacement.The lace retention system Keen chose to employ is inferior.SO, the upshot is you can't really lace these like normal shoes.You can get rid of the plastic bit at the end and tie a sheet bend or a square not to get rid of excess shoelace material, but this "lace retention" system is bushleague garbage.
