KEEN Utility Men's 1007026 Work Shoe

Product Information

I have been on a search for the Holy Grail of boots for many years. I feel that boots are one of the most important tools in our arsenal. As such we want the best tool for the job. The Keen Utility work boots offer an affordable way to protect and support your feet. Their breathability also lets you work for long without suffering sweaty feet. The Keen Men’s Alloy Toe work boot’s low-maintenance quality leather material makes it incredibly durable.

So happy there's a women's boot like this. I love these and would highly recommend them. The fit is perfect, comfortable, and light. I wear these boots on any occasion. Best work boot!” — Nichole

“I do a ton of standing and walking in a day. I need a boot that’s comfortable.”

No boot company has helped my feet feel better every day than KEEN Utility. Not Redwing, not Thorogood, not Wolverine, not Carolina, not Timberland Pro and certainly not any of the cheaper brands. KEEN Utility has allowed me to stay on my feet longer without severe foot and ankle pain. Now I must say I can’t wear every boot they make but there are quite a few. I stand on concrete floors all day, and I have an old ankle injury. My feet are finally not in pain! My toes have room to move, and I feel that my ankles are fully supported.” — Tuesday F. “I carry heavy loads and want work boots with plenty of ankle support.” Your leather and rubber-soled Keen work boot should last somewhere between 8 months and 12-16 months. If you put it through a harsh beating every day, it should hit about 8 to 12 months.

The combination provides both roll control while walking while maintaining forefoot flexibility, so your feet don’t ache after long hours on the trail or at work.

His grandfather was an airplane mechanic in WW2 and took up woodworking as a hobby after retiring from the power industry. Building everything from bookshelves to lazy Susans, he became extremely accomplished while his young grandson observed, fascinated at the way raw wood could turn into something both beautiful and functional. In fact, Kenny still uses several pieces that his grandfather made more than 30 years ago.

“I often work around power tools, extension cords, and live circuits. Electrical hazard protection is important for my job.”

You might also think about the men’s San Jose Boot. It’s designed to provide a balance between a work boot and a light work shoe. A soft and comfortable KEEN Luftcell air-infused midsole delivers sneaker-like comfort. Choose between aluminum- or soft-toe options depending on the level of protection you need, as well as unlined or waterproof versions to meet the variable work conditions. The higher-end models often have features that make them more desirable for industrial applications. Such additional features include: Very comfortable right out of the box. I was working 12-hour days, seven days a week when I received them. I wore them all day right out of the box while working on a boiler job. Tough environment — cutting, welding, climbing, on my feet all day. No complaints. I will definitely buy again.” — James You will need Keen boots when you work in a workplace that has outdoor variations such as ice, snow, and extreme heat conditions

Comfort enthusiasts love the breathable featherweight nature of the Keen work boots. Vibram soles, for instance, take a significant toll on the weight of the boots. Some wearers say Keen boots come with less calf fatigue as well as muscle toning.

Some jobs require more safety features than others, so the KEEN Cincinnati boot is available with either a soft toe or a carbon-fiber safety toe option. The carbon-fiber toe has a non-metallic, reinforced build and an asymmetrical design with a left- and right-specific fit that provides a better fit than a traditional safety toe construction. The carbon-fiber version is also 15% lighter than a steel toe, which means every step takes a little less energy. Some customers liked how comfortable the Keen boots were for mountain hiking and walking through rough terrain. Others believe that these boots live up to the hype. Some pointed out how they used the boots for up to 435 days.

I bought these to use on a farm. I was thinking maybe the 8” would be too tall. Wow, I can be on my feet all day long. I have no more pain in my feet. — Jen B. “I often work around power tools, extension cords, and live circuits. Electrical hazard protection is important for my job.” That’s why we offer an 8” Cincinnati boot. The extended shaft height provides added ankle support for long days and heavy loads, and helps fend off routine workday scuffs and bumps. With a Goodyear welted sole and a full grain leather upper, the Cincinnati boot supports your feet with torsional stability for less foot fatigue and increased durability for everyday wear. If you look at what customers are saying about Keen work boots on major online shops, you realize they’re happy with their boots but not with the customer care service. Such boots will hold up against unexpected rain showers, stream crossing while hiking, and overly wet working conditions. There are more than a few battle scars on mine. I have scuffed the toes a bit from being on my knees more than I like. I have also gouged them a few places from working on scaffolding. The soles are wearing a little faster than most other KEEN Utility boots I have owned. I do miss the big protective toe cap but I do like the looks of these without it. Even so, I will buy them again and again for the supreme comfort.

These boots fit and look great. The quality of craftsmanship is top-notch, and I fully expect them to last for years to come. From chopping wood to riding my Harley, I'll be confident knowing my feet will be feeling and looking great.” — Mike Most Keen safety boots and shoes meet all applicable standards issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor. Wet climates demand a waterproof work boot, while dry climates or indoor work do not. Choose between a waterproof, breathable KEEN.DRY membrane or a traditional leather built to match your environment. Plus, every Cincinnati boot has a spacious toe box that gives your toes the freedom to move naturally, as well as a snug heel cup for a sure-footed feel. According to Keen, their boots are assembled in the Southern United States by KEEN Footwear Inc., based out of Portland, Oregon. Workers often wear them in construction or other industrial jobs where they must protect their feet while standing on ladders or walking over wet surfaces.
