Recommend

On my second pair and absolutely love these. Honestly water proof!! Very comfy and well made. I work outdoors and these hold up amazingly. My coworkers replace their boots every year and my first pair from 3 years ago are still holding up.

Better than expected

A solidly constructed boot at this price point. More comfortable than expected for being on concrete all day. Insoles are not the best but still okay. Only real downside is that it seems a little narrow in the toe area so I got another keen boot in wide which is much better.

Absolutely Awful

I've been wearing Keens for almost 20yrs. These are the worst boots I've ever owned in my life. There is a stiff wrap around heel support that digs in just under my ankle bone. Wore them for one 12hr shift and literally limped out of work. A week later I'm still so sore I can't even put them on. I hand plyed them, beat them with a 2lb sledge and even ran them over with my Jeep a dozen times, no good, still digs in. Also the eyelet spacing is too big for a solid fit. I think I'm going to drop the brand all together.

Lace clamps at top are too tight

Great quality boots but the lace tabs used to lock the laces at top of the boot ( last theater rungs) are too tight and laces are hard to get to stay in when trying to lace up quickly
