Bought these for my wife. We both work in manufacturing doing 12 hour shifts. She said these are true to fit. She loves the wider toe box. They are very comfortable and light, and so far are holding up nicely
These seemed to be made well. Unfortunately, eventhough I ordered wide width, their "Wide" is basically a medium width. Also the seam around the top of the toe rubbed inside. So I'm not sure they would've worked even if they were wide enough.
Ordered these in wide width, and they are definitely not wide width.
Edit: After 6 weeks of working 2-3 days per week in 8 hour shifts, these boots have caused me significant pain to the point I could not even walk. I had piercing pain in my heel. There is absolutely no padding in the back of the boot. I am constantly having to reapply moleskin to the back of the boot or my heel. The metal reinforcement in the heel cuts into my heel causing a deep and painful blister. When I'm off work for a dew says it begins to heal. When I wear the boot the wound is reopened. There is a very serious design flaw in the boot. Keen came highly recommended to me by my coworkers. As much as I wanted to love them, they are not comfortable at best and dangerous at worst. They pose a constr threat for deep blisters and possible infection. I absolutely cannot recommend these boots and have changed my rating to one star. This was an absolute waste of nearly $200.Original Review: I work with Clydesdales and my job requires a steel toe boot. I work with the public and I wanted a boot that also looked professional with khaki slacks. These are a very attractive, stylish boot and a little more feminine than other steel toe boots. I have never worn steel toe boots so I have little to compare them to but the steel toe is safe and passed the test when a 1800 lb Clydesdale stepped on my foot the first week and I didn't feel a thing. They are quite supportive and protect your ankle. I stepped in a hole at work and would have twisted my ankle had it not been for the boots. I am on my feet all day. I've worn them several days a week for 8 hour shifts for a month now and they are holding up quite well. I love the wide toe box. This was a strong selling point for me. I took out the insert and used Dr. Scholls inserts for Plantar Fasciitis. I recommend a more supportive insert than what comes with the boot. In 20 degree weather they were absolutely unforgiving even with wool socks. I had to purchase Hot Hands foot warmers which I put under the insert. They kept my feet warm for about 6-7 hours. I walk a mile in them every shift up and down hills on concrete, gravel and in pastures and they are very supportive. I've worked in rainy conditions and my feet stayed dry. The downside is that even after a month these boots continue to bite my heels. I had horrible blisters on my heels the first two weeks. Even with high end hiking socks with padded heels I still had to buy $50 worth of gel blister care bandages. I put large heel care bandages on top of the smaller bandages for extra protection. I have to add Moleskin to the heels continuously as it wears down and I have to wear blister care skin protection for my heels every single day. The back of the boot has absolutely little to no padding whatsoever. You can actually feel the support structure inside the back of the boot. That can't be normal for a work boot. I had also broken them in by wearing them for few hours at a time prior to my first shift. They were comfortable fromthe outset. They don't need much time to break in. But the heel is absolutely brutal. I don't know if this is a design flaw but for the cost of the boot I would expect them to be far more comfortable without having to add more padding on the boot AND my heel for every single use. If I could have returned them I would have in order to find a more comfortable boot that didn't hurt my heel. Despite the heel issue my feet feel comfortable in the boot and have little fatigue at the end of the day. As for the cost, they seem on par with other Keen steel toe boots. The cost seems worth it in terms of safety and style. However I have little basis for comparison in that department. If Keen could fix the heel issue they would be perfect!
I've been a fan of KEEN hiking boots for a long while now and when I saw they had a work boot I had to try them. They didn't disappoint! The same quality in my almost 8 year old boots is evident in my new work boots. I work for a GC and when I'm on site, I need boots to walk the site and get out of the trailer. I'm not a fan of steel toe, having raynauds and steel toe in the winter is a lousy combination. I have hope that the alloy toe will give me the same protection, but not freeze my toes. Every stitch provides solid support and the leather is consistent and strong. There's not a dropped stitch or frayed thread hanging anywhere on the boots. The sole is comfy and the slight heel provides a good lift, but not so much I couldn't wear them all day if needed. The insole does come out if you want to slip in a custom one. My orthotic slid in easily. I look forward to many years of use of these work boots and will be bragging on the value and quality. They are super sturdy, so wear thick socks to break them in. Soon to be my favorite site boots!
Huge Keen fan here. I already owned a pair of Keen Lansing Mid steel toes prior to receiving these alloy toe boots, so I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with the quality. If you’re not familiar with Keen, they’re well known for their high quality hiking footwear and more specifically, wide toe boxes. The same quality translates to their safety footwear. I will also preface this review with I don’t wear safety toe boots full time, only when I need to visit clients onsite (industrial/manufacturing field) which is usually 4-5 times a year.These alloy toe boots are really nice, and offer a slightly dressier or more business casual appeal than most typical safety boots. Alloy toes are typically lighter than steel toes, and I definitely noticed that right away when comparing them to my Keen steel toes, despite those ones being a shorter boot. Yet alloy toes offer the same safety ratings as steel toes in most environments (but recommend checking with your employer or safety agency before purchasing these to ensure they are adequate).Fit: I’m a true 7.5 US women’s in shoes, and my right foot borders a wide width (C-width) so I sometimes need a wide but usually can get away with a normal B-width. My Keen steel toes are a normal 7.5 and fit like a glove. But when ordering these alloy toes, only a 7.5 wide was available - I’m extremely glad it worked out that way because a 7.5 wide in these fit perfectly. I also usually wear thicker socks with safety boots and found I didn’t need them with these. Overall fit is fairly comfortable. My heels were rubbing a bit while walking around, but I get that with my other Keens as well and wear mole skin on my heels with boots anyways. Plenty of room in the wide toe box, great arch support. And with most safety toe boots, you will definitely want to spend some time breaking these in before wearing to the work site.Couple complaints though and why these only get 4-stars from me: you will definitely need tall socks with these boots as the top edge of the boot is rather sharp against the skin. Appearance: while I appreciate these are dressier looking than my other Keens and compared to most safety boots in general, these are rather masculine for my liking. Before ordering these I actually thought these were men’s boots. Don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike the masculine aspect, just not my first preference. But, they are growing on me. Fit: while these fit very well, at the end of the day I ultimately prefer my other Keens as they’re just more comfortable.Final verdict: if you’re looking for safety toe boots - highly recommend checking these Keens out. They’re exceptionally well made, lighter than steel toes, offer great traction, and aren’t as rugged looking compared to most safety boots. Absolutely worth the price. If these don’t work out for you, then definitely recommend checking out the other safety boots offered by Keen.
