KEEN Utility Men's Lansing Mid Height Steel Toe Waterproof Work Boots

I originally left these shoes a 5 star review because they felt very comfortable and worked well for a couple months when I did landscaping, but I decided to update my review with this: For a while, I was a pretty big fan of Keens. My whole family was wearing them, but in one way or another, inferior quality has lead to a lot of our shoes kicking the bucket way too early. I've owned about 3 pair of Keen Utility Lansing Mids and all of them had issues in the sole. I used them for work and after about 3-4 months, large bulges began to form in the sole, becoming extremely uncomfortable and causing blisters on my feet. The photo above shows where I marked the shape and size of the bulge in red. I reached out to Keen repeatedly about this problem, but every Keen Lansing I owned did the same thing, and eventually the service team at Keen decided they were not going to stand behind their product anymore and essentially fired me as a customer. In the end, it worked out. Keen is just not right for people who actually use their shoes for their intended purpose, and it's better to not get your expectations high about them and if you want good quality, look elsewhere. I've gotten multiple pair of their hiking boots for my son, and they're just built so poorly and fall apart after a couple months. When I consult about this issue at many shoe stores, all the feedback I get is the same, and their warranty/return rate is very high. It's the same across the board.

I was looking for a mid-length boot that would stand up to hard pavement, a lot of walking, would feel close to sneakers and not be as restricted as my SWAT combat boots (which are also great) Obviously they have better ankle support and stability compared to sneakers but feel only a bit heavier. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and post op complications so I need to wear custom orthotics which make them even better. If you don't have foot problems, you'd do okay with the provided insoles. As expected, these provide a lot more flexibility in the crouching position compared to my 11 hole combat boots and are a bit more breathable. I do prefer to wear my combat boots in the winter and whenever I need to pass thru tall grass or get sidetracked on the woods. The keens are perfect and beat my boots or sneakers for all other circumstances -mowing the lawn, tinkering in garage, shed or basement, crawling around in attic, and working on ladders or a roof. I also like the non slip and electrical insulation soles they provide. I actually got two pairs of keens, one waterproof and one non-waterproof. I was planning to return one but decided to keep them both. I favor the non-waterproof ones a bit more just because they feel a tad bit lighter and more flexible, but maybe that's just me. You can't go wrong with either. I'll be looking to buy another pair in the future when the time comes.

I’ve had these boots for almost a year and I plan on ordering another pair in July. They have been the best boots by far that I’ve used on the job. The wide toe box makes them extremely comfortable for my bigger foot. I work in utility locating and I’ve been through muddy fields, construction sites, and all over chemical and manufacturing plants with them with zero issues. I always use my own inserts in boots but other than that, they have out preformed all other brands of boots I’ve owned. They have stayed completely dry in wet and muddy conditions and have never ripped or fallen apart like other boots I’ve purchased. Genuinely have been the best boots I’ve ever owned. Will continue to wear them and plan to buy another pair because my company reimburses me every year for a new pair. Would recommend them for anyone needing a reliable and comfortable pair of boots that will last for years to come.

Good quality and comfortable.👍👍

I’m a field Paleontologist. It’s not all just dinosaurs and other cool fossils, I hike a LOT. I hiked 112 miles last month on mitigation/survey work and my company let me expense a pair of boots. These were the ones I picked after intense deliberation. They are perfect. It was February so it was cold, and they are such warm boots, they have great traction on ice and frosted ground, they fit like a glitch and they are so durable, 112 miles into wearing them and they still look and feel brand new with no visible wear and tear. They are insanely light weight for a steel toed boot, less than 2 pounds each with is perfect. If you need a pair of hiking boots with a steel toed boot, GET THESE.

After wearing this boot pretty regularly for about 2 weeks now I can say it's definitely a lot more comfortable than most work boots I can find. Usually I have a hard time finding my size (10 1/2 wide) and most work boots squish my toes. I have a hard time keeping my feet still during the day and I have a neurologic condition which makes my toes become fatigued and I want to bend them. In these boots I'm able to bend my toes regularly as if I were wearing a pair of shoes. I find that the steel toes are very strong, and the bottom plates keep me very well supported. I find ease and climbing ladders, standing on my toes, or simply walking. I do believe that they are decently waterproof, as I have yet to experience any kind of water leaks when standing in snow or wet material up to my ankle. I also have an issue with my feet stinking, and I have not noticed that yet with these boots. All in all I would say these are my favorite pair of boots I've purchased. The one and only thing that could make them any better, is if they came in multiple colors. I could only find two available on Amazon. And while I really do like the way they look, I would prefer them a little better if they were in a dark brown or dark gray.

Very high-quality construction, lasts a long time. Extremely durable and truly waterproof if you get the waterproof boots. there are very few boot manufacturers that are high-quality like this. I upgrade the laces to an extreme, heavy duty lace.. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you like high-quality well constructed boots .

both 6 months ago and wear for like 3(im sparky). Boots already start to fall apart. contact seller but no help... not worth 300 euros

Todo muy bien

Son de excelente calidad y diseño, la marca es garantía

This is a 'true to size' shoe with minimum tolerance. Likes: Waterproof capability No discomfort at toe section due to wide cut with all around protection Definitely looks great Shortfall: Even though the shoe is grippy ( like all good keen material) and works faultlessly on terrain surface, it can slip momentarily on marble or cemented floor due to sole pattern profile which has less floor to shoe area of contact Require oiling if you need to preserve Require a ' break in' period for the shoe to mould to wearer; may experience discomfort till then especially for high arc feet Could have a better shoe lace system Insole is swappable but do get a thin to medium thickness profile alternative as too thick of an insole can result in less fittment to the heel and translate to a heel ' lift off' from within the shoe as you move

Muy cómodos, no te cansas a pesar de una jornada larga de trabajo, tienen la suela suave, no te suda el pie, están frescos, muy muy recomendados!
