Work shoes and more
I bought this for work, as I love the brand, but it’s actually become my go-to for almost everything else because it’s comfortable and a nice solid shape and style. Roomy fit at front. So it’s easy on the foot, and for me, it also keeps me from feeling hot. I sized like I do most athletic shoes. (Note: I “measure at a 9,” but I pretty much always get at least a 9.5 when I buy shoes, and my feet aren’t wide at all). The composite toe isn’t noticeable to me. I always work with them bc I appreciate, and use, the protection. But yeah, I wear these to the stadium, to concerts, to a party…

Favorite work shoe ever
These shoes are my absolute favorite work shoes I’ve ever owned. The cushion is amazingly comfortable, the toe doesn’t even feel like there’s anything in there and they look way cooler in person than they do in the photos. Everyone complements them. They do hold up (I’m a fuel hauler) but I’m also careful about what I kick or drop on these so maybe I’m not the best reference for that.

Great aesthetics but be aware and understanding
Why did you pick this product vs others?: The shoe bottom is stiff like a flank of wood and I recommend folding it in half for a minute to allow it to flex easier when walking. Some discomfort on the inside outer seam when the shoe folds because it has double the material that folds over stiffly which is a trade off between comfort and durability. I wear an 11.5 shoe and prefer wide due to it typically giving a less pointed toebox. Safety toe shoes are naturally rounded so I still choose wide to avoid the hardened toe from irritating my toes or pinching if you kneel. This shoe seems to be a little wider in the foot and toebox than my other keen and timberland safety toe shoes. The toe box I appreciate but the foot area requires more synching to avoid some swimming. I could’ve probably went down a half size and wide would’ve been more fitting but not sure if it was worth the back and forth since it seems I’m between both options. The comfortability is as good as my others in the past while being more casual and not soo over the top looking. When wearing this shoe, I can still smell a rubber/ chemical (NOT like NEW tire smell) smell (while wearing them) after 1 week still.

Actually has room for your toes!
Bought for the wider toe box. They fit very nice with plenty of room for toes and are pretty light for saftey shoes. Only complaint is they are flat with very little arch support so I had to buy insoles. Great shoes that have been holding up pretty well in a warehouse

Not the Keens I've had in the past.
I bought these looking for a comfortable shoe alternative for construction work. I have owned Keens before. The first day I liked them. They were comfortable and seemed durable. The second day, as I was putting them on, the heel cup plastic broke in two peices. Not a great start. Then by lunch the rubber over the right toe completely wore though. Not super impressed for $130+

1 million steps and counting
I am an automotive technology instructor at a busy technical college. I average about 12,000 steps per day at work and often I am at work more than 15 hours. I purchased these shoes in the beginning of April and by my best estimate I have logged about 1 million steps in them since then. They are excellent. They were comfortable right out of the box. They are reasonably stylish (although not a huge concern for me). They have proven to be durable so far. I have spent 40 years on my feet in the industry and these are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn to work in. They are so comfortable that I often wear them when I am not working. I'm considering buying a second pair to keep clean for wearing to other functions. My only complaints are that they don't come in brown and they squeak a bit on our polished concrete floors. That's it. Buy these shoes and treat your tired feet to some relief.

Nice and light
So far so good. Let’s see how long they last.

Too low
The shoe was wide enough, well made, durable, but the toe box height was too low for my foot and felt cramped.

I’m a huge fan of Keens and have had more than a dozen pairs over the years. These shoes are nowhere near as comfortable as Keens normally are. There’s not nearly as much support as I’m accustomed to with Keens.

It’s light for sure , but not that much comfort … but at the end it’s a safety shoes so don’t expect that it will be super comfy

ジャスパーとは毛色の違うスニーカーが欲しくて購入。アウトドア系の服以外にも違和感がありません。意外とカチッとした素材で形崩れしにくく、長く愛用出来そうですね。
