I work at a steel mill and am on my feet most of the day. These boots are comfortable out of the box and stay that way. The boots are wide in toes so that the steel toe is comfortable and really not noticeable. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone considering them.

I wear them everyday for work and enjoy the feel of them! This is my second pair which the first pair lasted 2 yrs. very comfortable and a nice firm fit.

I've had these boots for almost a year now. They're super rugged and comfortable. Small issue right out of the box with the tongue pinching the liner against my ankle bone, no big deal once I figured out how to make sure the liner is folded in against the tongue correctly as I lace them up. I'm also on my 3rd set of laces. The biggest problem I've had with these and a potential deal-breaker, is the ridiculously tightly knit tread pattern on the sole - I'm a carpenter in the Northeast, and every time I work or even walk in snow I end up an inch taller from the snow building up in the treads, and they don't have good traction. I recall noticing a similiar issue with the Pittsburgh when I had a pair. If not for this issue I would stick with these boots and the Pittsburghs indefinitely, but unfortunately I might have to resort to going back to Merrell and their poorer build quality just for the traction factor in the elements.

I should preface this review by saying that I am a woman in Law Enforcement. I love my Keen hiking boots and was disappointed that there were no all-black work boots for women. I decided to try these and I love them. It took a good week and a half on patrol for these to break in and it was pretty painful-they dug into my leg behind my ankle and the tongue on the right boot dug in at the top of my foot. Don't know if it's because they are men's boots. I kept wearing them hoping that was part of the break-in period and thankfully it was! These are so comfortable once they're broken in and I don't even notice they're on my feet during my 10 hour workday. They even keep a great shine! The only thing I would ask is that Keen look at creating boots for women in law enforcement, steel and non-steel toe. Thanks for a great product!

So far so good. I work construction so I am VERY hard on boots. So far these boots are as heavy duty as advertised and quite comfortable. The real test will be in a few months when we move to a new site and start the underground. That's when I tear up boots because of the harsh conditions and maneuvering my way through rebar.

Honestly, this is the most comfortable boot I've ever had! I switched from wolverines to keen and I will be sticking with them! I just loved the look first off. They are a little heavy but nothing crazy. They're even pretty water resistant. I love these boots. They took about 4 days of work to break in. I do commercial construction. And these are great for the job!

I'm an electrician and am on my feet all day. Found these boots to be comfortable when worn for 10-12 hours per day. My first pair lasted about a year and a half. To me that was reasonable giving the time I'm on me feet. The most recent pair I bought had an issue, as the lace hooks started to break off after only four months. Keen though was great and since they are warrantied for a year, they offered me a new pair. So far they are comfortable and I have not had any issue with the lace hooks yet.
