KEEN Utility Men's Kansas City Plus Low Height KBF Composite Toe Athletic Work Shoes

09/07/23: Started wearing for work I work for a trucking company and we’re constantly getting off and on our trucks including walking a lot jumping on and off the lift gate we need that extra grip and I already had my first pair of keen work shoes and this is my second pair and just my first pair they are comfortable yeah looks aren’t great looks bulky but the comfort is there also to add to why this is a perfect work shoe it’s also breathable unlike leather work boots with the steel toe that burn up your foot these have a composite safety toe which is perfect for someone like me who’s constantly on the move. Will update to explain any flaws 02/12/24 Still holding up great although I would say my feet sweat a lot in them but perfect for local food delivery truck drivers the constant getting in and out of the truck and they’re still holding up strong

Great shoe fits well and super comfortable

It was on discount for reason. As in other pictures, very brittle on toe side textile and some parts of sole also ripped easy. But it is comfy for its price. Fits wide

I work on my feet on concrete 40+ hours a week. I'm constantly going from outside to inside. I bought these a year ago and they have held up great. Although I did replace the insoles after about 6 months. They kept my feet dry when walking outside in the rain and snow. They have fantastic traction, even in winter. I can't say enough about these shoes. Even after 16 hour days, my feet don't hurt wearing them. Although they are a touch towards the heavy side, but I'll take it since the composite toe offers fantastic protection. I have had my foot in the way when steel doors where slammed and didn't get any injuries. Plus it doesn't set off metal detectors when going through security on my way into work. I am ordering a new pair, not because they have broken down at all, because after nearly a year of use they are starting to squeak when I walk. I was due to change the insoles anyway.

I've had several pair of Sketchers over the years and decided to give these a try since they were on sale. They needed a few days of breakin time but when they broke in they are pretty comfortable. The biggest reason why I gave it a 3 stars the heel padding. I got some massive blisters on the back of my heels because there's little to no padding on the back of the heal. I wear my Sketchers loosely and my foot is held firmly in place. These you need to lace up and wear to hold your foot in place because if you don't that back heel will rub a blister. Every foot is different and these may just fine for you. They are very sturdy and I fee like they will last as long maybe even longer than my Sketchers. Oh and I did have one of shoe strings break so i haven't been wearin them for about a week. Overall they seem fine but for those two issues I have to give it only 3 stars.

The soles of these almost completely pealed off of the shoe after the 30 day return window... I can't return them or request a replacement now. These are completely useless to me now and they cost a small fortune. I bought these for work and now they're trash within 36 days.

I’ve been using these shoes for work, and they’ve really held up. I’m on my feet for 12-hour shifts, always walking and standing, and they’ve been super reliable. They’re also great for winter and rain—kept my feet warm and dry. As someone who’s pretty scampi (aka picky!), I’m impressed. Comfort, durability, and weather-proof—these shoes got it all.”

Edited to add, after 4 months and 40-50hrs/week, they're holding up. My only complaint being that the interior where your heel is on the back of the shoe is already wearing away. And I estimate these shoes might have another 3-6 months in them at most. I DO think they're a bit spendy for what they are. AT $160 I expect better construction. Keens definitely aren't the same shoe they were 10 years ago. But, this shoe is comfortable right out of the box. And have really felt great. I did buy a backup pair, but not until they lowered the price. 8-10 hours on cement warehouse floors 5 days a week. These do well. The toe cap isn't too heavy and meets safety regulations. They're supportive without being stiff. And 3 months in, 8 miles a day walking,they're holding up well. Definitely worth it.
