KEENUtility Men's PTC Oxford Low Height Non Slip Kitchen Food KEEN Utility Shoe, Black, 10 US

I am a Chef that works on my feel all day long, in a kitchen with wet and slippery floors, not just water but grease as well. I am over 50yrs old and Have been cooking professionally for 34 years. Believe me I know shoes and better yet good-great kitchen shoes. I have for years sworn by another very well known kitchen shoe, one that the whole kitchen crew will know. I am taking the time here to lay out my knowledge and vast experience with kitchen/work shoes. I wear a size 13, regular width. I have very flat feet and suffer from Plantar Fasciitis on and off for years. Now, My review....This is by far the most impressive shoe I have ever worn!!!! Hands down the BEST out of the box comfort "No Break In" needed. They fit secure in the heel and mid foot, then the Keen larger toe box "one of their trade marks" opens up the area around your toes for luxury comfort of your toes. The black leather uppers are supple and pliable....Not work boot stiff! They breath very well. My feet are never hot and my socks are NEVER damp after a 12 hour day. The uppers clean up easily with a damp towel. The Tread on this shoe is completely slip proof! Walking from dry floors into the dish room "wet floor area" and back out, I have absolutely no slipping. Walking from wet floors past the fryer area "greasy floor area" again NON-Slip! The treads are very strong and seem to just stick like they are supposed to. I thought while inspecting these shoes, that it had an interesting inner curve to the bottom of the shoes. The outer sides edges are slightly lower than the middle of the shoe, giving the bottom of the shoe a slight upward arc from side to side. This has to be why they are so comfortable, giving you more comfort on the bottom of the foot. The outside touches first, giving the inner foot more support! FANTASTIC!!!!! After wearing them a month now, I have NO foot pain at all, it has been years since I could say that!!!! I could hug whom ever at Keen said, "Lets make a shoe for the chef or mechanic, or utility worker that just needs a fantastic shoe in a difficult working environment!" I am buying another pair so I can wear them outside of work and on the weekends! Shoes that feel so good should be worn 24/7!! THANK YOU Keen!

These are my work shoes for a long time. I am a server and spend 35-50 hours per week on my feet and these shoes are comfortable. I have purchased Keene before but those were not adequately slip resistant. These definitely are. Great shoes if you work at a restaurant.

Have always appreciated Keen Shoes. These food service shoes provide enough support, are durable and still look good.

I bought these for my son who is living in another country and walks TONS. Miles and miles and miles every single day. He walks on horrible terrain, in a suit and tie. Dress shoes were causing horrible foot issues, and these looked so nice. I thought they would be perfect for him. They have been! His feet are not having any more issues and the shoes are sturdy against the bad roads and terrain.

I have had these for about a week. I have also owned the slip on PTC (still have them). These are visually similar to the Keen Austin, and I wondered how close they were, so this review is geared somewhat toward others like me who are interested in comparison to the Austin. I have owned a couple of pairs of those, at least, and loved them for daily office wear, casual, hiking, outdoor work... everything. The main difference with these is the sole. The sole is harder, louder on wood floors but not like a clog. It is also seems thicker, which I like just a little less for feel. In the slip on, the tread life seemed much greater than the Austin. I tend to walk on the outside of my heel a little (supinate) and the soft sole on the Austin wears quickly for me in that area. This is what led me to look at the PTCs. The fit is similar to the Austin but maybe a little roomier in the heel. Importantly, for me, the toe area is still roomy like the Austin and other classic Keen models. Another difference is that the cut around the ankle seems very slightly higher, and maybe stiffer. The leather outer surface quality is a little more plasticy and water-shedding on the PTC. I'm not on my feet that much at work, but they feel supportive and comfortable. So far I am very happy with these as an everyday shoe that can handle indoors or outdoors action, and, based on my experiences with the Austin and the slip on PTC, I have high confidence that I will stay happy with them.

I have used Keen shoes for about 5 years now. I have flat feet and suffer from back pain. Working in the restaurant industry for close to 20 years now these are the only I have found that give me the support needed. I had one job that would pay for crocs so I used those and a few months in I noticed my back and knees would hurt. I would have back spasms, as well as waking up in pain. I decided to go back to keen and from the first day I noticed a good difference, within a week I was not feeling any pain or discomfort. Great product overall!

The shoes were very comfortable, but soles wore down quicker than i had expected, 2 months of 50-60 hour weeks. I often have this problem though, so i will not blame manufacturer.However, I have had cheaper, less comfortable shoes last twice as long. Not worth the price, just buy name brand shoes if you are purchasing shoes for full time work.

These are Without a doubt the best chef shoes I’ve ever worn. I have tried several different non-slip shoes, and as someone who has a severe bunion the wide toe box is perfect. I can’t say they have the best non slip soles but they work very well. They only struggle when there is a great deal of oil on the floor. These shoes usually last me between 9-12 months but when u consider the amount of use/abuse they go through, I think that’s pretty good. They have a composite toe so your toes are well protected. I have dropped a #10 can of tomatoes on them and I didn’t even get a bruise. They are pretty water resistant, the rubber soles go up almost an inch so they keep your feet dry even when throwing water on the floor to scrub it down at the end of the night. This is my 8th pair of these shoes, in the past 10 years, and they definitely won’t be my last.

excelente producto, cumplio con mis expectativas

I have been a longtime Keen wearer, and use these shoes for work, and this model was a bit of a good surprise for me. Speaking to other Keen wearers, you'll find these are:-larger than most Keen's in the heel which is handy for winter socks with a reinforced heel (you have room for the extra insulation/cushion)-the tread is phenomenal on icy snowy surfaces, and it lasts even in continued cold (seriously grippy on ice, who knew?)-the eyelets and laces are higher quality than average work Keens (I use the wide version of Val D'Or too and these are better)

予想よりも歩き易い。一時的に安くなっていた1サイズアップで買ったが、2サイズアップで可かも。

Excellent product

キーンのジャスパーの履き心地が大好きな者です。今回、コックシューズを履いてみて感じた事は、指先が広いので圧迫感ないです。履き始めは革が硬いのでデリケートクリーム等でメンテナンスすると革が馴染むと思います。足首からくるぶしあたりが痛くなるので靴紐は全体的に緩めで履き始めると痛み軽減します。私の場合8時間×3日ほどで履き慣らしました。普段履きに使用しています。やはり、キーンの靴は私の足にぴったりフィットします。甲高幅広の足です。あくまで参考程度に。
