KEEN Utility Men's Kenton Low Height Composite Toe Breathable

Great boot/shoe. Comfortable, no break in period, well constructed and cool looking. My only complaint about the Keen brand is the outside sole picks up every piece of gravel, and I end up tracking it wherever I go, car, house etc..

I bought this for work, as I love the brand, but it’s actually become my go-to for almost everything else because it’s comfortable and a nice solid shape and style. Roomy fit at front. So it’s easy on the foot, and for me, it also keeps me from feeling hot. I sized like I do most athletic shoes. (Note: I “measure at a 9,” but I pretty much always get at least a 9.5 when I buy shoes, and my feet aren’t wide at all). The composite toe isn’t noticeable to me. I always work with them bc I appreciate, and use, the protection. But yeah, I wear these to the stadium, to concerts, to a party…

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The shoe bottom is stiff like a flank of wood and I recommend folding it in half for a minute to allow it to flex easier when walking. Some discomfort on the inside outer seam when the shoe folds because it has double the material that folds over stiffly which is a trade off between comfort and durability. I wear an 11.5 shoe and prefer wide due to it typically giving a less pointed toebox. Safety toe shoes are naturally rounded so I still choose wide to avoid the hardened toe from irritating my toes or pinching if you kneel. This shoe seems to be a little wider in the foot and toebox than my other keen and timberland safety toe shoes. The toe box I appreciate but the foot area requires more synching to avoid some swimming. I could’ve probably went down a half size and wide would’ve been more fitting but not sure if it was worth the back and forth since it seems I’m between both options. The comfortability is as good as my others in the past while being more casual and not soo over the top looking. When wearing this shoe, I can still smell a rubber/ chemical (NOT like NEW tire smell) smell (while wearing them) after 1 week still.

These shoes are my absolute favorite work shoes I’ve ever owned. The cushion is amazingly comfortable, the toe doesn’t even feel like there’s anything in there and they look way cooler in person than they do in the photos. Everyone complements them. They do hold up (I’m a fuel hauler) but I’m also careful about what I kick or drop on these so maybe I’m not the best reference for that.

I love keen but these are the worst keen shoes I have every worn. No cushion what's soever. its like walking on concrete the whole day. I wore them 2 days and in the garbage they have gone.

Initial review, I will update later. I switched from a couple of pairs of timberland pro work shoes to these, the outer materials are more tough feeling in comparison. I work on ladders on construction sites and need to be sure footed when I'm up high. I also needed light weight, which these are as I regularly put in 15k steps at work. I like that they look and feel like regular shoes so Ican stop on my way home and do some shopping. There's no break-in period with these, they're comfortable out of the box. There's nice suede at the area where the shoe bends for durability and the heel support is nice and solid, no side to side bending. One year update. These shoes took a beating, heavy indoor and outdoor construction site use. There is one small rip on one side, most likely from sheetmetal. The soles stayed together, the only thing that got deformed was the heal surround. I just purchased my second pair after a year, because they were on sale. I tried other similar brands and they're just not as wide in the toe area and not as flexible. Surprisingly the soles are not badly worn, and the front and top of the toe area is not destroyed. I would definitely recommend these for similar uses.

I had high hopes for these shoes. My feet don’t hurt at the end of the day 10+ hours, outside of that I don’t think I can buy another pair. Two months old. 1: not durable. Deteriorates like a normal tennis shoe, yes comp toe which is great with no issues,but construction of shoe does not allow abuse or repetitive on knees and toes. 2: the absolute worst part of this shoe is that they smell awful after a full day of work. I have had complete water proof boots that do not let water in or out that don’t smell this bad. I can’t be in my office for more than 15 minutes without my office smelling like dirty feet the rest of the day. Ultimately I expected more from keen.

The shoe was wide enough, well made, durable, but the toe box height was too low for my foot and felt cramped.

I’m a huge fan of Keens and have had more than a dozen pairs over the years. These shoes are nowhere near as comfortable as Keens normally are. There’s not nearly as much support as I’m accustomed to with Keens.

オシャレな安全靴、満足です！

tres legere confortable

Shoes were obviously worn before. No attempt to even clean the soles and I paid full price for them? The shoes have comfortable insoles. Width is about 11.2cm. Great for my super wide feet. So far feels pretty good. DO BETTER AMAZON.

It’s light for sure , but not that much comfort … but at the end it’s a safety shoes so don’t expect that it will be super comfy
