KEEN Utility Men's Pittsburgh Waterproof Steel Toe Boots

I'll start by saying that I am very rough on shoes. Department store shoes normally last me 3 or so months before there are holes in the side of them, and or rubber bumpers peeling off. I have now had these just shy of a year, and they are in great shape (minus the abuse I inflicted on them) I work as a diesel tech, and I'm on my feet for 12+ hours a day on concrete. These shoes are very comfortable! Some days I wear them for 16 hours and my feet still dont hurt! I really like the lace retention device they use (I did break on off... but that was from a giant log that nearly smashed my foot.) They provide a very positive lock to keep your shoes tied all day. I did upgrade my laces to some kevlar ones because of the welding and torch splatter that eventually burnt holes through the laces. The rubber on the toes are holding up great compared to the dozen other shoes I've had, nothing is peeling away from being on my knees working on concrete. Pros and cons PROS Fits as expected, very durable, winter time warmth is pretty good (working outside in 25 F to 30 F degrees my feet stayed warm), Summer time breathability is great (your feet still sweat, but they aren't over heated), lace retention device's are great, Super comfortable, Oil resistant, tread lasts a long time, steel toe is in a good spot for kneeling down. CONS If they came with kevlar laces that would be the cats meow, I can't complain about anything else. In short I will be a loyal customer now that I've seen the immense quality of these boots! To often you dont get what you pay for, but I can tell you that these boots are defiantly worth 200$! I will not hesitate to buy these boots once mine wear out!

I bought my first pair of these in 2011. I used them until 2021 and gave them to my little brother when he started his first gig. They were as comfortable as a good tennis shoe till the last day. I tried their grey and black ones. Forget the model. But those things hurt. Should have sent them back. These are like a good hiker compared to a work boot. I’ll update if the new ones are trash

So comfortable right out of the box. Plenty of room if you wear thick sox. I would definitely buy these again.

UPDATE- After one year of use, I have to say these boots have served me well. They look pretty worn out and the soles are starting to disintegrate, but they still serve their purpose. See the additional pictures I just added. I did absolutely nothing to care for these boots over the past 12 months. I wore them most days working on residential construction sites doing everything from framing to digging ditches. They got muddy, they got wet, they got concrete all over them, all I ever did was rinse them off. Summer in Texas is hot, and these boots are not the coolest. I wear synthetic breathable socks and my feet were hot. I had to pull the insoles each night and let the boots air out. They were not always dry the next morning. If the soles weren't disintegrating, they would probably last another year. I will likely replace these in the next two months. May or may not buy another pair. I got these boots to wear while working. I primarily work on residential construction sites. My work consists of general carpentry, framing, and lot clearing. I spent the first two days in these boots clearing brush and trees. Lots of time on my feet and knees. The boots felt very good without any break-in. By the end of the second day, I was noticing some rubbing on my lower shin and ankle but it was minimal. My only complaint is that the protective rubber toe cover got a decent nick in the short amount of time I used them. Attached are photos after two days of hard use without any wipedown. When I ordered these boots, I also ordered the Timberland Pro Titan 6" Waterproof Boots. The Keens had a wider toe space and looked like a better made boot. Also, the "hiker" style suited me better. The Keens are heavier than the Timberlands, but I decided based on the other factors that wasn't an issue for me.

I bought these Keen Pittsburgh boots for their steel toe ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 EH rating with oil and slip resistance, as it is a requirement for my job. I also wanted something waterproof, and more on the warm side, as I am out on the streets of the South Bronx every day. I work in every weather condition and temps above 100 F down to sub zero. I walk on every kind of surface under the sun, outside and in. My job also takes me through every kind of businesse, basement, greasy kitchen, factory, warehouse, shop, you name it. The boots are rugged and hefty, yet they feel light when walking in them. There are a lot of reviews out there that say their boots are the most comfortable they have ever worn, but seriously, these boots are really, really comfortable. I'm used to going through a period of time with other brands where I accept that my feet and ankles are going to go through the pain of breaking in a new pair of boots. Not with these! I don't feel like I'm wearing steel toe work boots at all. I feel like I'm cheating the system somehow! The comfort of the boots seems to have a lot to do with the material used for the top center (under the laces) and tongue. It is a reinforced synthetic fabric with very good padding, rather than a hard stiff leather tongue. I also love how the tongue is not a separate piece from the body of the boot. It keeps the boot sealed from anything getting in. The tops of the boots above the ankles have good thick padding that make the boots feel like they're giving you a big firm warm hug. There is also a thinner padding in the lining throughout the rest of the boot that works for both comfort and insulation. All that goodness on the inside, and bad ass ruggedness on the outside. Quality, tough, materials. Double stitching all over the boot. I didn't find a single frayed or hanging thread. The leather is tough, but almost has a slight suede to it. If you run your finger across it, you can feel the leather is actually infused with a waterproof substance. It almost feels kind of like a light wax. The metal lace rings and hooks are something that will hold up after time. The top hooks are locking and hold the laces at the tension you pull them. I was a little concerned about having the one fabric lace strap between the lower lace rings and upper hooks, but to my surprise there is a hard plastic sleeve inside the end of the strap where the lace goes through (see picture). This will keep the laces from wearing through the strap. Also, all the fabric straps on the boot have a reflective material in them, which helps with high visibility at night, or bad weather. The tread is good and grippy, the lugs are nice and beefy but not cumbersome. The front of the sole angles up a little at the toes which works really well with your natural walking motions to actually help propel you a bit. I actually end up using less effort to walk! Last but not least, these boots just look friggin good. I love the style and the color. And if you don't like one color, Keen makes these in five different colors. All in all, these boots have exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn't be happier.

The Keen Pittsburgh ST work boot provides excellent cushioning, a supportive sole, reliable footing on wet concrete floors, and are just an all-around great boot. I work on concrete floors all day, and need good foot/ankle support to do a lot of awkward lifting and carrying 20-50 pound boxes and sacks in tight spaces. In a year of working on concrete floors, my feet changed from a women's 9 medium to women's 9.5 Wide. I also have metal pins/ implants in my right foot, So Keen's generous toe-box , coupled with a narrow heel, and lateral motion support are a huge plus. Men's 7.5 D provided a great fit with medium-weight heavy hiking socks, although Amazon recommended an 8D. To maximize cushioning in the forefoot where I've got the metal pieces-parts in my foot, I replaced the Keen insoles with a pair of HLYOON gel insoles purchased thru Amazon. Now I've got super support and even more cushioning. No more limping at the end of the day. I tried many other brands before finding these Keens. Now two weeks of use prove they are great boots for active work. There aren't many women's work boots out there. For me, these boots are perfect in fit, support, and protection. now they are my go-to hiking boot as well as work boot. This boot does not have much flex in the sole, but a relatively rigid sole is just what I need for work-- and also for hiking. It took about 3 days to get the boots pretty much broken in. Have used them for hiking as well as work and they do well in either venue. I don't usually provide five-star reviews, or feedback that is this gushy. If this review sounds over-the-top laudatory, it's only because these boots have saved my feet and my job and make me feel like dancing in the process.

I discovered Keen footwear approximately one year ago when I decided to purchase a pair of Flint Steel Toe shoes based solely on user reviews, something I have never done. I was totally blown away by the accuracy of reviews that I read and amazed at how comfortable they are right out of the box. I have since bought several pair. Recently I was hired for a Railroad job as a freight conductor, a job that requires many hours of walking outside on various types of terrain. Having had such great success with Keen footwear I decided to invest in a pair Pittsburgh Steel Toe Work Boots. I purchased them through Amazon and like in times past, was satisfied with their fit and comfort right out of the box. I purchased these on August 10, 2016, a relatively short time ago. My first day on the railroad job was August 29, 2016 so I wanted to have them well ahead time to start on the first day. First week on the job was spent in the central office doing paperwork. I began working in the field on September 6, 2016. I was eager to start, especially since I had great footwear and knew that sore feet would not be a problem. Just yesterday I noticed that the soles are already beginning to deteriorate, crack, and split (see pictures). In just two weeks times the soles look like they will not last a long amount of time. There was nothing in the description on Amazon or the Keen footwear website indicating that these shoes would not and/or should not be used for railroading, walking on ballast (rocks), and other terrain. I feel that $165 for a pair of work boots is quite pricey especially for a pair of boots whose soles are already breaking down in such a short amount of time. I had no problem paying this amount as I was confident that these Keen Pittsburgh boots would last at least a few months before beginning to break down. I have read that Keen has excellent customer service so I am going to contact them. I am sorely disappointed in these boots. There is no other issue with these boots, perhaps I received a faulty pair. They still deliver on comfort, hands down. Perhaps they are only meant for concrete or flat ground.

Water proof. The quality has improved a lot over the 8 years I've been buying Keen boots. Made in America.

Excelente produto, muito acima da expectativa, alta qualidade, robustez, visual muito bacana

No especifica que es talla wide, es decir, viene para pie ancho

Muy comodas, puedes traer estas botas todo el día y no te cansan ahora solo será ver la duración total.

Great product, great price. Thank you !!!!!!

I have had these boots for a few months. These boots are so comfortable to stand in and work all day. Great support. Really happy with these KEEN boots.
