I have heard of Keen footwear within the outdoor sports industry, and I primarily got them because I have heard tradespeople, and law enforcement say positive comments towards Keen work boots. The Keen Oshawa's are one of the most comfortable/supportive boots I have worn. The toe box is wide, which accommodates my wide forefoot, the insole has a medium arch, and the overall build of the boot is well designed/made. Unfortunately, the durability of the outsole is lacking. After 10 months of use the tread has worn down to the EVA midsole and chunks of rubber have been shearing off the boot. This is after working in security 9 months full time, and 1 month of work in parks environment. Additionally, the waterproof Keen-Dry membrane has deteriorated, and no longer keeps my feet dry in the rain. I would not recommend these boots for trades oriented work. I have worked in construction as a carpenter, and I feel that they will not be able to withstand job site use.

I work in custom home building, I have had this boot for about 3 months and the steel toes are wearing through the leather, and the sole is getting torn to shreds. If these things got fixed, and better soles and thicker leather were used, I would buy this boot again in black. Pros: comfy, light, Cons: doesn't stand up to construction, or daily wear, steel toe wearing through, soles falling apart

I've worn work boots for the past 25 years and I'm on my 4th pair of these keens and love them. Lite super comfortable I've actually raced a skid steer down the road in them. And won!!!!

This is the second time I've been unhappy with these boots. Bought a pair a couple of years ago and returned them to the store where they were purchased within 2 weeks because they were not at all waterproof. Took a chance and got another pair just over 30 days ago. Same problem. Although now I've had them a month and the leather is already as worn as the boots I was replacing. I would say these might work for urban use, but definitely not for commercial construction.

I use these boots as a flight paramedic. We don't have to wear CSA boots but these are so light, why not. The fit is better than any other boot at this price. Normally I pay almost twice as much for the same fit. I just can't find any of this model locally so I'm buying them online this time. Greg

Have just recieved these boots but I must say first day out they are like an old fiend. One thing about Keens once you know your correct size all their foot wear fits perfectly.

Very comfortable, still waterproof on my 3rd winter wearing them on work sites. Great boots make such a big difference.
