KEEN Utility Men's Cincinnati 6 Boots

Great work boots! I wear a size 12 in every other type of footwear for the last 20+ years I went one full-size down and it fits like a glove and I’m flat footed. Nice and soft super comfortable to wear all day I work 10+ hours a day.

Best boots I've ever owned. I've had these for over 2 years They are beat up, I stand on concrete all day, I'm around acetone, gel coat, fiberglass resin, 5-6 days a week. Over 2 years now and they are still going strong. Most comfortable boots I've ever owned as well. Like standing on a cloud. I'm 300 lbs as well, the soles are still intact!

Being a Welding Inspector on sites and shops the terrain I face is as varied as it can be, one week I'm in the middle of nowhere Arizona in a mine; the next I'm in Pittsburgh in a fab shop. I need a boot that will perform but on top of that, be super comfortable. As a Cubbies fan I hate to admit that anything named after Cincinnati is worth anything, but these boots, as soon as I put them on I just knew. Yes, they are a bit on the heavier side but I'd trade a little weight for a whole lot of comfort. I've worn Keen for years, have tons of pairs of their shoes and sandals (one pair of the Newport sandles I had lasted over 10 years). So I knew they would fit my foot. Nice open toe box and the size is my usual 11.5 (normally wear a 12 in everything else). These aren't my usual work boots, but I can say, I won't wear anything else now. Coming up through the welding trade I Irish Setter western style boots because of sparks and grinding dust, but now that I'm older and my job is different I can wear laced boots again without going through a pair of laces every few weeks. Yes, these are heavier than the usual boot I'd wear, but I feel planted and the boot feels sturdy. Being that I don't "beat on" my boots like I used to, they should last longer than my usual boots. My usual knee and back pain is gone wearing these. My joints almost breathed a sigh of relief when I put them on. As another review described, they do look like "Herman Munster" boots, but screw it, they're super comfortable. Herman was a welder, so yeah, he knew what was up. Anyway, I'll update this at 6 months and a year to see where they stand as far as durability. ***update*** boots are still going strong after over 6 months. I wear them almost daily and my job is no different, from office days to fab shops all over the US to sun drenched roofs in Utah and heat and humidity of Texas. I love these boots and once they wear out, I'll play taps on my bagpipes and give them a proper send off then immediately order another pair.

I retired my Braddocks for the Cincinnatis. One week in. Time will tell. These are my third Keens in a row, so that's my reference. I only wear my boots--rare exceptions for some ancient slip-on Skechers for Sunday lounging. I work in an industrial shop on concrete floors where safety-toe boots are required. Here are my impressions so far: Fit-- My Braddocks were standard width, but reading reviews of the Cincinnatis compelled me to order them wide in the same size, and I'm glad I did. I feel like they are about the same width! I would advise anyone on the fence to go with wide and swap 'em out if needed. Feel-- These boots were comfortable from the beginning with only a little minor break-in, particularly between the tongue and the upper, which settled in by the end of the second workday. I read about issues that other purchasers experienced, like inconsistencies in dimensions between left and right or general defects that led to early failure, and I haven't found any of these deal-breakers. They go on and off easily enough without yanking the heel loop, but I do have to untie and tie them (gasp!), unlike the Braddocks where I was able to pull the laces off of the four hooks (these have two) and slip them right off, and quickly re-hook the laces without retying. Sole-- The tread being consistent and flat from stem to stern has been a plus for me. I have neurological balance issues and they feel firmly planted where I put them compared to the Braddocks, which have a big arch gap. The soles extend 1/4" past the uppers, but I haven't found myself catching them on stairs or anything like that. I was hesitant about the light-colored layer of the sole, and I think this will be a problem, but nothing a little oxy-clean and elbow grease can't check. I encounter a lot more grease and grime than your average fella but a quick wipe-down a couple of days ago brightened them right back up--that is to say, they're not soaking up the filth. The Braddock uppers are still in good shape but the sole disintegrated prematurely. My hope is that the uppers of these are just as resilient, but that these sole materials can keep it together. Function-- I had them submerged in water up to the fifth eyelet for about 3 minutes with zero intrusion, and after a quick wipe with a rag there wasn't any leather damage. As for breathability, I think things might be a smidge swampier than the Braddocks but it could be observer bias. We're bone-dry compared to other brands. I had to move a heavy desk, and with the full edge weight of ~150 lbs on the toe as I shimmied it I felt no flex and there was no damage to the upper. I haven't attempted to electrocute myself lately, but I don't think these are rated for that anyway. Walking feels great with no shifting or rubbing, and my feet are no less handsome (ain't sayin' much) when I shuck my standard athletic socks at night. Final thoughts-- Compared to other brands I have worn over the years including RedWings, Dr. Martens, Asolo, Caterpillar/Wolverine, Timberland and others, Keen boots have been the most comfortable and lightest, but not necessarily the longest-wearing. Who wants uncomfortable boots that last forever? These feel and work like the other two Keen models I have vanquished, and their looks might be stylistically appropriate for a wider variety of social activities. The wife doesn't hate them, and that's high praise! Keen purports to have a generous return/exchange window and warranty policy, but I have been fortunate enough to avoid testing these despite my best efforts. For this third round, I am heading in feeling pretty confident that these boots will meet or beat the Braddocks. I am hesitant to rate that fifth star for these reasons: 1. Two lace hooks instead of four increases boot time; possibly significant in a tactical or emergency scenario 2. Light-colored mid-sole layer requires cleaning 3. Standard-width Braddock owners might need wide-width Cincinnatis 4. Unfortunate outcomes for other reviewers

The Boots are comfortable, my feet were protected, but the return window is too narrow. I purchased these boots on Sept. 21st, 2025, today is Oct. 24th, 2025. Yesterday when I got home, I noticed that t =he top right eyelet came out and I can't keep my strings tied together on it anymore. This is the first boot I've ever had this problem with so early in its life. Otherwise, the break in period was minimal, and I was just starting to really like these. I got used to the safety toe around the top of my toes and everything was gravy. I'm not a construction worker. I have been a driver for FedEx and am currently a package handler at Fedex and I have another job working at water plants. The boots have seen very little hard labor and I am outside of the return window to get my money back and go with a different brand. I've had a lot of success with CAT(erpiller) but I wanted something wider. I'll use this money to find someone who works on boots and see if they can reset the eyelet in there where it doesn't pop out. -1 Star for durability, -1 Star for the return window closing so close to something actually happening to the product

Me impresionó la comodidad de estás botas, mejores que otras marcas, podrías estar con ellas días sin que te cansen...

Están padrisimas, excelentes acabados. Talla exacta. Un poco pesadas, tienen casquillo, pero están super padres. A mi esposo le encantaron. Las volveríamos a comprar.

Wear first day. No Pain.. quite comfortable I would say. Just that there some glue of the sole which not very well align. Overall good. Been researching on this boot for a long time. Until finally decide to purchase it during Free International Shipping terms. Hope this sole can last longer than I expected.

Wore them for the first day and they are good. Nice cushioned sole with good support. The only one thing I can fault is there’s some soreness/pressure on the outside of my ankles. Like I said, only worn them for one day but I’m confident I will break them in.

I've worn safety boots for most of my adult life and these ones are the absolute best boots I have ever purchased. I understand Keen has an amazing warranty but honestly doubt I'll need to find out. Comfortable right out of the box, no first day hot spots, just really excellent boots. If they ate more than you usually spend, I would strongly suggest saving a little more and getting these boots. Just my 2 cents.
