KEEN Utility Men's Independence Oxford Composite Toe Waterproof Work ShoeLeather Working Group

I bought these shoes on the reputation of Keen and the hope that they would fit like my other Keens, that I have worn for years. I have had them for three months and can report that they have fully lived up to my expectations. They are sturdy, but comfortable for an eight hour work day. The composite toe caps do not interfere with free movement or comfort. I have not had any incident to test their safety, but have confidence given their sturdy build quality.

Excellent work shoe for high temperature environment

Great product but the wide widths run narrow.

As always, Keen's feel great from the very start! One review mentioned get a 1/2 size bigger than your normal size. It turns out that was good advice. I wear a size 12 mens, so I had to order a size 13 (No 1/2 sizes for 12 and up). The size 13's fit just fine.

These are good shoes. Durable. Nice looking. Waterproof. Nice wide toe box - BUT - they just are not that comfortable. A lot of reviews said that they run small - I ordered up a 1/2 size from 12.5 to 13 and they are slightly big for me. These are way overpriced. They should cost $110 and not $160. Satisfied but wouldn’t recommend or buy again.

As advertised. Great work shoe. Waterproof and comfortable.

I have worn Keens every day for many years so when I needed a pair of safety toes I tried a few of their styles. This shoe is just as comfortable as my non-safety Keens. I usually wear a 9.5 but for these I went up to a 10 wide since I wear wool work socks and they fit great. 9.5 would have been too small. Highly recommend if you have a wide foot. I also tried a pair of Timberland Pros in the wide width and they were still too narrow for me.

My husband, a busy mechanic, loves these shoes! He’s pretty tough on shoes, so we’ll see how long they last. The fact that they feel and fit great means a lot.

Nice
