Best pair of boots I've ever owned. If you work in or around water, these are a no-brainer. Absolutely zero break-in time before they're SUPER comfortable and will withstand any and all mud/dust that you put them through. Completely waterproof and slip proof. I'm on my 4th pair an will probably never go back. They feel like a nicely broken in pair basketball sneakers and have never once hurt my feet. 10/10

Light weight and very comfortable. I wish they were a little bit more durable but I’ll buy another pair just because they are so comfortable.

I love these boots. They’re stylish and comfortable. However I couldn’t wear them because of where the hard toe cut into my foot. A bit disappointed

Bought these for my son for Christmas. He is a mechanic and said he really liked them.

Let me say I am really impressed with the fit and comfort of these boots out of the box. I usually have to wear 2 layers of socks or some thick wool socks to break a new boot in. These boots required neither straight outta the box. They were comfortable and so far, have been durable. I walk continuously on concrete, while bending and stripping frequently, for 10.5 hrs a day. After about 2 weeks I did notice the insole beginning to sag. I purchased a set ( as I've had to do with every work show I ever owned) of "Dr sholes all day work" insoles for $8. Problem solved, and still going strong and just as comfortable as day one. These are excellent boots for mild to cool weather, as they are not super insulated. I will see how they feel when the thermometer begins to dip below 32°F soon, and may update this review then for that reason. I don't really have a "need" in my line of work for the toe protection to be 'tested' , so that aspect I'm not sure of. Also, I must state that the anti slip soles have an excellent grip on oily and wet surfaces. I am also quite impressed by this aspect. As far as I can tell they have worked as advertised and are def worth the asking price. I got mine in sale for $99 and have paid 3x that for boots that didn't work or fit as well as these. I've been wearing them everyday for about 45 days. ( That's 450+ hours of wear so far) Excellent value here. Bonus, the blue version pops and is quite stylish. Very happy w this purchase and would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a solid boot for a good price!

I have a very hard time finding work boots that fit. I have size 13 (US) feet that are very narrow. Most work boots, especially Keens, seem to be made for more voluminous feet. These ones, however, do fit me well and are comfortable all day. (I do add my own custom insoles)As far as how they hold up; I do commercial flooring so the toes are always the first to go from being dragged on the ground. That said, my first pair lasted almost a year before I had to reinforce the toe with an aftermarket toe protector. I'm on my second pair but have gone through several sets of laces. I'm not sure if it's the quality the laces or if the eyelets on the boots are overly abrasive. I haven't had this problem with other boots. My first pair was actually still going strong after a year. What did them in was the top lace hook snapped, making it impossible to lace all the way to the top. I've read and heard from others that this is a fairly common problem with Keens in general since the hooks are molded plastic instead of metal.The composite toe is nice. It makes the boot lighter and doesn't set off metal detectors. The waterproof membrane never wore out on my first pair. While I work indoors, I still live and work in the PNW so unloading materials outdoors and just walking to and from job sites tested their waterproof capabilities and they never let me down.More than likely I will keep buying these boots as I wear them out. I feel like a year of abuse is fair for the life of a work boot, and with some added toe protection and some extra care when I lace them, I might get more long longevity out of my current pair.

2nd Update: I contacted Keen. They gave me a credit for the value of the boots to buy another pair on their website. I had to add a little to it to get a pair. Nowhere near as comfortable as these but they are well built and sturdy.1st Update: I continued to wear these boots for about another 40 days after the first speed hook broke off. I used the remaining speed hook to double the lace until today it snapped off while I was driving. They looks sharp, so if looks is all you are after and not a daily wear work boot buy them. If you actually plan to work in them buy something else. I’m so disappointed! I’ve worn work boots nearly 40 years, cheap Walmart boots and expensive high end $350 boots. Save your money. A $50 pair of CAT boots from Walmart will last longer than these. I sure was fooled by the last pair of Keens.These are my second pair of Keen boots. I was looking for a comfortable electric safety hazard boot with a composite toe and was very pleased with my fist pair that lasted me 3 years. These were great when I got them last month. Light and comfortable. I was showing them off to my employees and bragging on them.I was a little concerned when I saw the speed hooks were plastic but figured if they were on Keen Boots they must be tested and reliable. I didn’t know they were plastic until I got them. 4 weeks in I was lacing up my boots and “Pop” one of the speed hooks snapped off. Very Disappointing.I can’t afford to buy another pair right now and it is past the 30 day return window so I’ll just have to live with it a while. If not for this they would get 5 stars. Other than the poor quality plastic speed hooks these boots are comfortable and look great. Just be aware that the plastic hooks are subject to snap off.

This probably one of the better boots I have purchased. The insole of the boot is super comfortable. I was wearing Helly Hansen boots before and don't think I will be going back. They seem to be good so far in the winter weather.
