Features

  • Composite Toe: Left and right asymmetrical non-metallic carbon toes provide an unobtrusive fit and are 15% lighter than traditional steel toes, meeting or exceeding ASTM F3445 and F2413 M I/75 and C/75 standards.
  • Traction: The oil- and slip-resistant rubber outsoles comply with ASTM F1677 MARK II non-slip tests and reduce the risk of marking surfaces.
  • Comfort: Equipped with KEEN.ReGEN midsole technology, they offer 50% more energy return than standard EVA foam and feature a KONNECTFIT heel-capture system for enhanced support.
  • Materials: Constructed with textile uppers that meet ASTM D471 #903 standards for chemical resistance, providing durability while maintaining a 100% non-metallic build.
  • Water Resistant: The moisture-wicking textile lining helps draw moisture away from your feet, while the water-resistant textile outer layer adds protection against liquids.

Pros

  • Lightweight design enhances comfort during extended wear.
  • Composite toe construction offers safety without the extra weight of steel toes.
  • Slip-resistant outsole improves traction in potentially hazardous environments.
  • Versatile style allows for easy transition from work settings to casual outings.
  • Removable insoles allow for customization based on personal comfort needs.

Cons

  • Some users may find the fit slightly wider than expected.
  • Not suited for heavy-duty work environments where more robust protection is required.
  • The water-resistant feature may not make them completely waterproof under extreme conditions.

Favorite work shoe ever

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.

Great Work Shoe

Very comfortable. I have numerous work shoes that I use at my warehouse job and these are the pair that I choose most often. Easy on and off. True to size. Not to wide. Easy to clean.

Great aesthetics but be aware and understanding

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.

Sturdy, weĺl made, nimble and not heavy

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.

Actually has room for your toes!

Bought for the wider toe box. They fit very nice with plenty of room for toes and are pretty light for saftey shoes. Only complaint is they are flat with very little arch support so I had to buy insoles. Great shoes that have been holding up pretty well in a warehouse

Not the Keens I've had in the past.

I bought these looking for a comfortable shoe alternative for construction work. I have owned Keens before. The first day I liked them. They were comfortable and seemed durable. The second day, as I was putting them on, the heel cup plastic broke in two peices. Not a great start. Then by lunch the rubber over the right toe completely wore though. Not super impressed for $130+

So so shoe.

Not bad bad shoe but not what I was hoping for. Over construction is good, insoles are ok but with the composite toe the shoe folds funny so the idea of having a semi formal shoe with safety toes didn’t go as well as I hoped. Depending on the industry a darker color would be recommended. Not the shoes fault but just my 2 cents
