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

Great show. Just unhappy they started to come apart. Material is like dry rotted. Started cracking after 7 months. Am 8 months into ownership.

Very comfortable

But unfortunately despite the photos I looked at before buying these shoes have the same 'squish your toes together' taper on them. I was hoping that they would fit as good as the Oxford PTC's that used to be my go-to (something happened to the manufacturing there a couple years ago, as after many pairs with no problem those shoes became painful to wear) and while it looks like these are put together well, if you're looking for a wide toe box shoe like I need, well... LOOK ELSEWHERE.

I never buy shoes without trying them on. But through the advice of a coworker, I bought these. Best work shoes I've ever owned. Had them about 2 months and are holding up well. I just had to change the insoles when I got them. I buy new work shoes every 4 months or so at about $70 a pop. No wear even seen on the soles yet and there are very slip resistant.

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 not been happy with Keen's new footbeds. The fit was off too. Insoles weren't supportive and the heels had a strange lip around the perimeter. Also something hard directly under my big toe, like a pile of glue or stitching. The footbeds were so soft it was hard to walk.

I have had several pairs of these work shoes and continue to be happy with them

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.
