VISTA ENERGY WORK SNEAKERS
When there are pallets to load, assembly lines to keep moving, and walls to frame up, nobody’s got time for uncomfortable footwear. If the work you do keeps you always on the move, our KEEN Utility Vista Energy Series is for you.
We took key safety features from our bestselling utility footwear (like lightweight, asymmetrical carbon-fiber safety toes and an electrical hazard (EH)-rated, oil- and slip-resistant outsole) and paired them with our energy-returning KEEN.ReGEN midsole. The result? A collection of performance-driven utility shoes with plenty of work-ready protection and support, but with the cushioned comfort and sporty style of a sneaker. Have a look at our guide below to find the right pair for your active job.
Fit for hard work
No matter which pair you go with, know that each work sneaker is based on our tried-and-true, hiking-inspired fit. But since you’re working (not hiking), we adapted the fit specifically to meet the demands of the work environment. A spacious toe box offers greater freedom of movement, and a snug heel cup helps keep your heel supported for all-day comfort and surefootedness.
We also make a fit specifically for the hard-working tradeswomen out there. We’ve heard from a lot of women that wearing men’s shoes isn’t just uncomfortable, it actually feels less safe. To support the distinct biomechanics and foot structure of women’s feet, we offer styles with a snugger fit in the heel and a more spacious toe box for added comfort and protection at work.
“I’m tired of tired feet. I need a utility sneaker that’s really comfortable.”
Sometimes long hours are just part of the job. For those days (or weeks, or months) when it’s nonstop feet on the ground, we recommend our women’s and men’s Vista Energy sneaker. A sneaker for work? Yep, you read that right. The secret is in our KEEN.ReGEN compression-resisting midsole that not only cushions every step but also absorbs and returns energy back to you as you work. With an easy-to-wear ankle cut that supports twists and turns with our KONNECTFIT heel-capture system, and a lightweight, breathable mesh upper, they’re made for standing for long hours or logging some serious miles (but don’t look out of place after you clock out).
“I need work shoes that have plenty of ankle support but are still breathable and lightweight.”
For additional ankle coverage, check out our men’s Vista Energy mid-height work sneaker. They have all the same work-ready features as the low-cut version but with the added security of a seven-inch mid-height for additional ankle protection. Cement or concrete floors have never felt more comfortable.
“My job requires footwear with an ESD-rated outsole. Got a work sneaker for that?”
Whether you spend your days repairing factory computers or running industrial CNC machines, our men’s and women’s Vista Energy ESD sneaker gives you peace of mind on the job. Made specifically for jobs with static electricity hazards, they have a 100% non-metallic construction and a slip-resistant, ESD-rated outsole that helps reduce excess static electricity by conducting the charge away from the body towards the ground.
For maximum comfort on hard surfaces, plenty of on-the-job protection, and casual athletic-shoe styling, look no further than our KEEN Utility Vista Energy Series. Your feet will thank you.
