Comfortable out of the box!
First day of wearing them and let me tell you, they are probably the most comfortable work boots I have ever owned, and I went thru many different brands. Just by looking at them, you can tell that they are wide and won't have your toes crammed up. Sewn look tells you that the sole won't separate and it is a quality made item and black leather looks very stylish, kind of feel bad wearing them to work. I believe they won't need any break in period because they're functional and comfortable out of the box. Price is fair. Generally, very happy with the item. A bit on the heavy side, but not an issue for me.

Comfortable, DRY, Great
A woman in the store was wearing these boots, I asked her if they were waterproof and if she liked them. We talked for over 5 minutes on how comfortable and farm-worthy these boots are! I bought them while standing there with her, and they arrived the next morning! Here is my honest review. Right out of the box they are comfortable. Some reviewers mentioned the size being too big and to sign down a half size, I did not and i'm so glad. They fit perfect, I wear a womans 10.5 - 11 and I ordered a mens 9. its perfect. My left foot is slightly wider at the top and I felt that when putting the boots on but after walking arond the house, that tightness on the left side went away. When I knew I would be keeping them, I walked out in the yard and began the trek to the chicken coop. My feet stayed dry as I walked through the morning grass and tall weeds. I love the look and feel of these boots. They are soft leather with a higher sole, which adds height. There is a cushion around the ankle for those long days of wear.I got these on sale, and the value for the boot is great! My wife wears Danners only, which carry a heftier price tag, but these are the same quality for a more affordable price tag. My only hesitation in the purchase was that I truly prefer a slip-on boot; my hiking boots are Keen, and they are snug and take effort to put on with the laces. This Keen Cincinnati boot, however, was much easier to lace and not as snug so it was a great compromise.

Great Value
For starters, I’m giving this boot a 5 star rating for the “class” or price range it is in. This is NOT “Made in the U.S.A.”, they’re not a boot that can be re-soled, they are however an economy line work boot. I was happy to get 18 months out of mine before buying a new pair of boots. I was happy with the waterproofing, they had a very comfortable toe box and the “break-in” period was virtually none. I wore them on concrete and found them to be comfortable all day long. The sole wore down well before the leather had any issues. Now, I wear them to mow the yard. After these boots, I went to an American made boot that can be re-soled. I hope this helps someone.

Pretty good, but a little disappointing
These boots are quite comfortable except that a very sloppy built-up stitch where the tongue gusset attaches to the main part of the upper on one of the boots created a pain point on my instep. I was able to flatten the offending stitching enough to eliminate the discomfort. The combination of the out-mid-and-insoles was as comfortable on the soles of my feet as any boots I've worn. Unfortunately, the thin bottom layer of the outsoles wore through at the heels pretty quickly, and the outsoles separated from the mid-soles at the toes (which I successfully repaired with polyurethane construction adhesive). The durability of the leather uppers was fine. The inbuilt waterproofing was inferior to that in other boots I've had; until I applied mink oil to the uppers, my feet would get wet from walking in wet grass.

Sturdy Work Boots
My husband loves these Keen work boots. Perfect boot height for his tender ankles with a comfortable foot bed where his wide-ish feet fit in well. He is on his second pair after daily use on hot asphalt blacktop. Good quality

Best boots ever
I have owned a lot of good boots redwing,wolverine’s,carhartt,and these are absolutely the best I’ve ever had they are super comfortable and they look and are made good. I wish I had gotten these boots years ago. They are so good I’m going to buy another pair just like them and put them away until I need them that’s how much I like them. My co worker saw them the first day I wore them to work and he liked them so much that he bought a pair. Great boots Keen keep up the good work you have a lifetime customer in me.

Holes in slippery soles
These boots were very comfortable, BUT the slip-resistance drastically underperformed, and the soles wore through in about 18 months. Worn daily, but as a truck driver who is rarely on his feet. Definitely my last pair of Keen.
