KEEN Utility Men's San Jose 6" Alloy Toe Waterproof Wedge Work Boots

I purchased these boots back in November of 2021 and I could not have asked for a better return for my money. I have been very satisfied with how well these boots have held up over time. After almost two years of wear and countless miles in them, they are just now starting to show some wear and tear. When I first purchased the boots, I do recall taking a bit of time to break them in. However, once they were broken in, they proved to be one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have owned. On top of the safety and waterproof features these boots have, the boots are lightweight and stylish. There have been numerous times where I preferred these boots over my tennis shoes for my everyday wear. From working in my wood shop to doing yard work or simply going out with my wife or going out for a walk, I have been able to count on these boots to provide a comfortable and secure fit each time. These boots have made me a fan of the KEEN brand and I will most definitely continue purchasing these boots in the future.

My wife recommended these and i havent looked back. Great versatile boot IMO as they can go from work, to casual, and even hiking if you dont mind a bit heavier boot and i have done it all. They look great on and were comfortable from the moment i put them on. Sasquatch is likely sporting a pair of these.

Sole is separating from the boot after only one month. The boots are comfortable but the sole coming apart is not acceptable. Unfortunately I missed the return window so I am stuck with them. In the future I would go with a more expensive pair of keens.

My husband bought these as work boots. They were waterproof, but soles started splitting after about a year and they are no longer waterproof. He did get a good comfortable year out of them. He did use them daily and at least 8-10 hours a day, so they did get good use before starting to fail. They were also slip resistant and had a good safety toe. They were warm in our Minnesota winters as well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These are expensive but hold up very well. Quality leather and steel toe does not interfere with comfort. These are very light and don’t leave you hurting at the end of the day. 20k steps a day- recommend an alternate insole for a perfect fit.

These boots are really high quality construction, high quality leather but not waterproof as advertised. I was just pressure washing on the job and got the front toe part wet and then i realized that they weren't waterproof like advertised My feet became wet,cold and uncomfortable not why I bought %170.00 boots. I would pay and extra hundred dollars just to have my feet dry or waterproofed etc. While I'm working. Definitely nice quality boots but not waterproof

I have a water project outside my house. I wanted a boot with more protection. I ordered an 11 which is what I wear with my other Keens (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RLZA7QE?psc=1). I reordered those too. I had been wearing the Keens Targa 2. I must say, they live up to hype. I wore them today. I did some shoveling and went to the grocery store. I'm happy with them. They fit well and are comfortable. There are a few hot spots, but they're a little stiff because of the extra protection and need to be broken in. They should be comfortable, but don't expect them to initially fit like other Keen shoes. Overall, a good purchase.

Noticed several associates remove their boots by using one foot as a pry bar to remove their footwear. I see many photos of soles being separated, this could be how these people remove their own footwear. Untie laces fully and use your hands to remove footwear not a shoe pry against another shoe. That's a huge force of weight and resistance to pry off a shoe half unlaced. I work 10-12 hrs a day standing in hydraulic oils in engineering rooms. Zero slip. Buy extra wide shoes recommended. You'll need that for a high instep. Very, very comfortable. Get a shoe tree, plastic of cedar to air out moisture. Use a wicking sock when working and a foot powder. If you can buy 2 pr do so to let one pair air out for 24 hrs. Great shoe. Low wear and walk on oil non-slip.
