Cincinnati 6" Carbon Fiber Toe Waterproof Belgian/Sandshell 13 D (M)

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.

This is probably one of the most comfortable work boots I have ever owned. I just learn about wide toe boxes. This was one of the recommended composite toe boots. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not need to break these in too much. It took maybe a couple of days not weeks like the others I have used. They are very well constructed. I have owned them for about 2 months now using them for 5-6 days a week, I will probably buy another set once these need to be retired.

Great boots. High quality. good support. the composite toe offers good protection. I like that the wedge sole on this particular model has more tread than most flat wedge soles. They have a nice generous toe box that allows me to wear heavier socks in the winter. I wear a 11.5 in most shoes and thats what I wear in these. They come with good removable insoles. I find the waterproofing to be good. The leather is good quality, and they seem to age well. I have bought the Cincinnati model 3 times in different variations and will probably buy them again.

My husband is very hard on his shoes and boots. He drives a truck for a living making deliveries all day of heavy material jumping in and out of the truck and these are the only boots that have held up for him. They are nice looking and wear evenly. This is our second time purchasing them and will definitely again.

Not my first pair of Keens, and definitely not gonna be my last. These things are amazing, like all of my Keens have been. I’ve gone with other brands, but I keep coming back to Keens, so now I think I’m just relegated to buying them the rest of my life. I’m never disappointed.

I’m a couple months in and will definitely buy these again. Not much of a break in period what so ever. Very comfortable. The size was perfect. I have never done a wide and will always get them in the future. The leather seems to be holding in really good. I walk 7-10 miles a day in theses bad boys.

These were definitely used and returned. Had a random receipt from New Jersey in the box. When I say used I mean they were taken out tried on and returned. Not the biggest deal, but I wasn’t purchasing a floor model. Boots are very comfortable, and will work perfectly for standing on concrete all day.

Boot fits great. I bought a pair of these from Amazon, along with a pair of Liberty boots from Keen. The Liberties seem to have higher-quality leather—probably why they run about $300—but these are definitely more comfortable right out of the box. They are about a half size bigger that than the Liberty.
