KEEN Utility Men's Vista Energy Low Height Sneakers Composite Toe Industrial Work Shoes

This is my second pair. Not everyone has the same feet but for me, they are as comfortable on day 1 as they are on day 365. 40 hours a week on the job plus chores on the weekend, they have held up. Still quite cushy after all this time. Only a minor tear on the toe from heavy duty use. I could go for another 6 months or more with the old pair but they were on sale so I figured why not. Still keeping the old pair for yard work. The composite toe is 1000x warmer and lighter than steel toe. Would recommend l.

I've needed safety/steel toe shoes for work for about a year and a half now and I've gone through 4 pairs. Initially I had the Skecher Canktons and they only lasted for about 4 months before the built in memory foam insole wore completely through on the ball of my foot, until then they were pretty comfortable for the price. Then I used the Caterpillar Brode steel toe, and that got me about 10 months or so, they're pretty comfortable like a heavy skate shoe, but they're basic and there's nothing great about them. After wearing those out the outside of my pinky toe joint started rubbing on the inside of the shoe, basically starting to give me a bunion. Because of this issue I bought the Reebok Sublites and used those for about two weeks before i realized they weren't going to work. Because my foot was already aggravated, the same problem persisted. I don't doubt that had I not had this problem they would have been much better. With all that being said, I was quite disappointed in the Reeboks. The pictures I've added are comparing the Reeboks to the Keens. The Reeboks are basically a basic reebok shoe you'd find at Shoe Carnival with an alloy toe. The worst thing about the shoes are the soles are awful. They're a hard plastic material with no give whatsoever, making walking on concrete just awful. For 100+ i was very surprised at the design. So after this, i forked out the money on Prime day and bought these for 75$ (somehow). I was instantly very impressed and I basically knew they would be great before ever wearing them to work. I did go up half a size and went with wide to ensure i didn't have any issues with the fit. I've now been wearing these to work for over 4 weeks. The most noticeable aspect about these shoes is comfort. These literally might be the most comfortable pair of shoes i own, including casual shoes. The Keen.regen cushioning thing that is advertised is very noticeable imo, and i didn't expect that. As i said, the Reebok soles are hard as a rock, the Keen soles give a shocking amount when you press them. It almost feels like the shoes propel you forward, then soften the impact each step while you walk. The construction of the shoe seems great as well, they're much more sturdy, while the Reeboks are lighter and are maybe more nimble to walk in. I don't review anything on Amazon which is why this is so long, but I wanted to write this review because i think there are alot of people that have similar problems with safety shoes and can't afford to fork out $100+ every 3 weeks for a new pair. I highly recommend these shoes, I'll be permanently buying Keens until/unless i have a negative experience, and i think these are well worth the 125$ retail price. Buy these if you want to avoid foot pain and don't want to waste money on multiple pairs of safety shoes.

Keen shoes are great. Comfy, big toe box. But do not purchase these particular Keen shoes. Rubber soles come off and part of the front tread ripped. I bought these end of June. Threw them out end of August. Barely two months of use, they still looked brand new (except for the flapping soles trip hazard). I do not work around chemicals or hazardous materials, so there was no exposure to any solvents to cause this. The manufacturing of these shoes are sub par, the glue fails. Maybe someone from Keen will actually see this and ask their manufacturer for better QC and better bonding glue.

These are hands down the most comfortable safety shoes I have ever worn. They are pretty stable on wet floors, and are super lightweight. I work in a bakery and have to walk 7-10 miles a day so comfort is very important. They seem to be pretty breathable as well. I will report back if they fall apart on me or something, but as of week 1 I would highly recommend.

Gotta give this a bad review just because of the fact that Amazon cannot deliver when promised what is the purpose of selling something that they’re just gonna disappoint you on. I have nothing against Keen they are actually the best shoes I’ve ever owned and I use them everyday for work. But if they are going to trust amazon to deliver their products then amazon should be held accountable. The only thing they are willing to do is give a refund.

Comfortable and light weight. Bottom of one just randomly fell off after 10 months of work use which I've never had happen before but still, they were nice while they lasted.

I've been wearing the high top version of this shoe for about 2 years now . I usually go through work shoes every 6 months to a year max but the ones I good in 2023 are just now starting to show their age . I am on my feet 9-10 hours a day 5 days a week , concrete and 15k-20k steps lifting , pulling , and pushing , heavy objects . I chose the color I got for its vibrance . If these do like the others I have they'll continue to be comfortable for a long time as long as I change out the insoles twice a year and I highly recommend Ken K2 insoles to take the Regen to another level of all day comfort and performance . For a non leather upper they're surprisingly not bad in cold weather as long as they don't get wet . Even the slightest rain or snow soaks right through , causing my feet to get super cold even on not so cold days . This is a good choice is you're active on your feet and need a safety toe. Mega slip resistant is another bonus along with their ability to pass electrical hazard certification making this a very flexible design .

i have 2...one for work, one for everyday...purchased 2nd pair because of how comfortable they are. good for hot days, and short winter walks - wool socks can help but the shoes get stiff and hard on cold. i wear #10 with regular shoes, and looks like these are good too, but super fit at first. Light, you'll forget you have them on. but not sure if waterproof...didn't got them that wet yet. The 10 wide that i have is not really wide...would love to get 2W, because these seems regular, and I'm sorry if you chose not wide one...unless there is not much difference...luckily i have 10.5 for work, so they give me a bit more space, and at 160lbs(including the shoes) my feet are really not that wide i'll give 6* for double wide tho

Son muy cómodos y ligeros, ideales para un trabajo qué duras muchas horas de pie o caminando, realmente los recomiendo.

Muy cómodos y excelente calidad muy recomendable 👍🏽

Très bel achat, très très confortable. Je recommande. Excellente qualité

I think this might be as comfortable as it’s possible for protective shoes to get. They genuinely feel like wearing sneakers and feel great on my feet all day in a warehouse. Carefully follow the sizing guide - I read that with Keen you often should go a half size larger than your usual size. I did that and got the perfect size. I think it’s the segmented sole that helps make them so comfortable to walk around in - suddenly I wish all my shoes had a sole like that. Great job Keen, I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

These are the lightest safety shoes I've ever worn. They are extremely light and very comfortable to wear all day. Highly recommended!
