Best pair of kitchen shoes you can buy!
This is my sixth pair of Keen slip on PTC's that I have purchased from Zappos and Amazon. I was the chef of a catering company and spent up to 14 hours on my feet. Sometimes a 7 day stretch. My feet never hurt in these shoes. The best kitchen shoe I have ever worn. Other brands of shoes would last me 6 months tops, these last me a year or more. I love these shoes. Also have a wide foot and the true to size fit is comfortable.

Best Work Shoes
I'm a registered nurse, on my feet for huge swathes of time during the day. Good footwear is a key to having a good day. I'd always liked the idea of clogs but had a disastrous trial with a pair of Crocs (not enough arch support lead to horrendous foot pain) and I couldn't quite bring myself to test-driving Danskos (expensive!). I'd had great success with a pair of Keen hiking shoes, so I decided to take advantage of Amazon's "Try Before You Buy" program. Needless to say, I kept them and am so happy.The first few try-ons will feel very tight just getting into the shoe (but not over-tight when on). Don't worry -- a few days of wear will help them break in to your foot. Since then, slipping in and out of these puppies is a snap, but I've never had any concerns about security when wearing them. They comfortably hug my feet while providing hiking-shoe quality support -- a total win in my line of work. The soles are supposedly designed as "no-slip", and while I haven't actually slipped, I wouldn't say they're off-the-charts grippy, either. The grip is on par (possibly slightly better) with the court shoes I've been using for years.Overall, the comfort and support these shoes provide is what sets them apart. I'm very pleased to have such a great shoe at a good price.

Very comfortable, excellent chef shoe
As a professional chef, I’m always on the lookout for a comfortable, durable shoe for those long hours spent on my feet in the kitchen, navigating wet greasy floors.These shoes are super comfortable so far (second full day in).They appear to be well made, but I am a little concerned about the hard shell heel piece getting crushed because you really have to push hard to get your foot into these. Size wise, next time I will go a half size bigger than I normally wouldWhere they fall way short is in what should be the easiest part of the shoe to get right: the non skid sole. Even the cheapo work shoes from the big box stores have good non slip soles. With these, I feel like I’m on skates every time I walk into the dish pit.If the soles were nice and non slip, I’d rate these 5 stars. Do better, Keen.EDIT 9/7/2022: credit where credit is due. 2 weeks in, the soles have broken in and hit their stride. They are super grippy. Best chef shoe I’ve had in my 30+ year culinary career. Buy these.

Great shoes for medical professionals
Pros:Great professional lookComfortable for long shifts on your feetEasy to cleanGood gripCons:Tight fit around mid-footI work in the emergency department, and these shoes work great. First of all, they are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. No inserts required- these offer a soft heel pad and maintains good arch support and my feet don’t ache/fatigue during long shifts on my feet anymore. They don’t breathe well, but that’s to be expected since one of the top priorities is for them to keep out all manner of hazardous fluids. They have excellent grip on slick floors- even when wet, and they clean off super easily.The only downside of these shoes is the tight fit around mid foot- especially when new- which also makes them difficult to put on (and I do not have wide feet). The opening wedge with the elastic band is a good idea, but is basically without function in these shoes, as it gives you only about 1cm of give (if that). For the price of these shoes, that seems like a pretty poor design flaw. However, this does get better when the shoes are broken in, and is barely even noticeable now that I’ve had them for a few months.Overall great quality comfortable shoes that I anticipate will last me for years.

Good kitchen clogs
This is my husband’s 6 pair as a chef. He LOVES these clogs. He can get about a full year out of them and then another summer as yard shoes. Great tread. Great support. Great quality.
