Reviews

Second pair arrived with visible glue and sole sep

"his is my second pair of Atlanta Cool 2s. I bought the first pair because they were comfortable, breathable, and held up well on the shop floor. That’s why I ordered another pair from Keen’s official Amazon store at $170. The second pair came with quality issues that should have been caught before they left the factory: • Excess glue squeezed out around the sole and midsole (KEEN. ReGEN) on multiple areas. • The rubber bumper/foxing at the toe and inside edge is already starting to separate from the midsole. You can see a gap and white material showing through on a brand-new shoe. • The bond between upper and sole is messy in several spots instead of a clean, even line. I work in manufacturing. When I see exposed glue and a sole that’s already lifting on an unworn pair, it looks like the pair skipped final inspection. At this price I expect the finish to match what Keen advertises. I’d rather pay $200 for a pair that leaves the factory clean than $170 for one that already looks like it’s failing. Note on origin: These are listed as “Made in USA or Imported. ” They are not part of Keen’s American Built / Kentucky line. That doesn’t change the QC problem — a $170 work shoe should not arrive with the sole already separating. I’m keeping the first pair because those were solid. This second pair is going back. Keen, please tighten inspection on the Atlanta Cool 2. The design is good. The execution on this pair was not."

"They will exchange but won't do refunds for these shoes. Even with a larger size the toe box is going to be too narrow. I'd give the a zero star if I could. I only tried them on for less than a minute. 😤😤😤"

"Great shoes!! KEEN ALWAYS ROCKS!!"

Great shoe

"I like them. I hate to tie shoes and these no tie shoes are great for me. Very comfortable, wear them about 14 hours per day."

— Curt L. (5/5)

Uncomfortable

"Very uncomfortable!! No padding on the heal and gave me blisters. The no tie shoelace is a terrible Idea for work shoes."

— Adam (1/5)

"These shoes are the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. I am super disappointed with them. I gave them a few weeks to “break them in.” They still are heavy and uncomfortable."

— Dakota (1/5)
