Good traction and comfort. However, coming from the 4.5” Braddocks, Im having a hard time getting use to the extra length of the 6” boots. Also, these fit about a half size too big. I normally wear a 9.5 in all 6 pairs of keens I’ve had, these fit bigger and I didn’t realize it until my 7 days of free try on were up. If I could, I’d swap for a 9 or 9 wide. Anyways, the boots look fantastic. Other than that, Keen should seriously look into putting a similar sole on all their boots. Water and air pockets have been a major deficiency with all of my Keen Work boots. If they had a nice gum sole that is one piece without all the crevasses and unnecessary detail (Pittsburg, Braddock) I believe that would fix the leakiness of the Braddock and others. I have 4 pairs of those that are still not wore out but they’re unbearable to hear after you walk in a small amount of water, because water gets trapped in random air pockets close to the heel of the sole. I guess you could say they’re all prematurely worn out. The Ft. Wayne looks like it will be free of those problems, just because the sole looks so solid. The weight of these ft. Wayne’s seem a little heavier as well, but I wouldn’t call them a “heavy” or bulky boot. The soles and mid immediately provides superior durability vs previous Braddock and Pittsburgh I’ve owned. Idk why every Keen boot doesn’t have this gum sole. If it was attached to the 4.5” all leather bison/blue Braddock, I’d have my dream boot. I rate this boot 4/5 because it is bigger than other Keens I’ve had and the blister it’s wore on top of my index toe. Ended up getting a 9w and suited me much better. Exchanged the laces from my Braddocks because they are superior. The inside heel toward the top are the only wear I’m seeing after a year and I’m relatively hard on boots as a commercial plumbing and piping. I’m surprised how well these have held up compared to previous Keens I’ve had. So I really got my moneys worth on these. I’m getting the black sole with gum next. The white looked great in the beginning but it’s better if you’re one who does less working to rock those colors. Also, use some kangaroo liquid on all your boots, it preserves them very well. Review: Decent boots - I’ve had these Keen boots for about eight months now, and they’re still holding up well and remain comfortable. I work on concrete all day, standing and walking for long hours, and they’ve provided good support without causing foot fatigue or discomfort. They were comfortable from early on and didn’t require much break-in time. The only issue I’ve noticed is that if you stand in water for an extended period, they will start to leak slightly, so they’re not completely waterproof. Aside from that, I haven’t had any major problems with durability or comfort. Overall, they’ve worked well for my job, and I would buy them again. ## Features - COMPOSITE TOE: Left and right asymmetrical, non-metallic carbon-fiber (composite) toes offer unobtrusive fit and are 15% lighter than steel; These boots meet or exceed ASTM F2412 and F2413 M I/75, C/75 EH standards - WATERPROOF: KEEN.DRY is a waterproof, breathable membrane that lets vapor out without letting water in for keeping your feet dry and comfortable; The Fort Wayne 6” Composite Toe work boots have a mesh liner that integrates with the waterproof membrane - SUPPORT & COMFORT: Featuring KEEN Luftcell, an air-infused midsole and aerated pillow-top cushioning for weightless comfort; Made with a nylon shank, used for midfoot support, and the upper material meets ASTM SATRA TM31 material abrasion standards - CONSTRUCTION: Featuring a full-grain barnyard resistant leather that helps resist the damaging effects of oleic acid, urea, sodium chloride, and ammonium hydroxide; Made with direct attach construction that creates a strong bond with the sole - SAFETY & TRACTION: Oil- and slip-resistant, non-marking, siped, rubber outsoles for improved traction that meet or exceed F2913 SATRA standards; The outsole and midsole of these boots meet ASTM D471-06 903# oil and isooctane chemical resistance standards ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D3HXV7VY | | Best Sellers Rank | #296,059 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #629 in Men's Industrial & Construction Boots | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (548) | | Date First Available | May 7, 2024 | | Department | mens | | Manufacturer | KEEN Utility | ## Images ![KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QHLu5VPyL.jpg) ![KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boots - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818Z29rxzsL.jpg) ![KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boots - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Kmu62SdhL.jpg) ![KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boots - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WPgiKzzRL.jpg) ![KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boots - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fEOcgIQ9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well..excellent boot. *by C***R on November 24, 2023* Quality built, as usual.

I only wear keens for work (after red wings. Wolverine and timberland pros). Quality used to be amazing along with comfort but like most things quality has been lacking from keens lately. I’ll update if these start falling apart anytime soon but they’re comfortable straight out of the box and check all the boxes I need for a light weight boot. Waterproof. Composite toe and anti slip proof with light weight. ## Frequently Bought Together - KEEN Utility Men's Fort Wayne 6" Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge Work Boot - Cincinnati 6 inch Composite Toe Waterproof Wedge - KEEN Utility Men's Kenton Mid Top Composite Toe Breathable Work Sneaker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/530363445-keen-utility-mens-fort-wayne-6-waterproof-composite-toe-wedge](https://www.desertcart.us/products/530363445-keen-utility-mens-fort-wayne-6-waterproof-composite-toe-wedge) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
