Women's Work Boots & Shoes

Why buy work boots made for women?

Buy women’s work boots because women’s feet aren’t just smaller versions of men’s feet. Every part of a woman’s foot is shaped differently enough that in most cases it’s uncomfortable for a woman to wear men’s shoes. A woman’s foot is smaller, the bones and tendons are shaped differently. At KEEN Utility, we incorporate this knowledge into the design of our women’s work boots so that now, women in industrial occupations no longer have to sacrifice fit for function — you can buy a work boot with all the same great features of men’s boots but designed specifically around a woman’s foot.

Women’s Work Boots & Shoes

For too long, women have been wearing men’s boots to the job site because there just aren’t great options in industrial women’s footwear. KEEN Utility is changing all that.

Whether in construction, manufacturing, or utilities, women work in the same conditions as men and need the same level of safety footwear. Men’s shoes might fit a woman’s foot, but why shouldn't a pair of work boots be fit specifically for her?

At KEEN Utility, we design and carry work boots in sizes for women, including both steel and soft toe boots. As safety shoes become an accepted alternative to boot styles, we have a selection of work shoes for women as well.

Although leather boots are still the mainstream choice for women, another emerging style is women’s athletic-style safety shoes. These work shoes, regardless of a soft or steel toe design, look like sneakers on the outside with all the same qualities of an ASTM-rated work boot, such as slip-resistant and static dissipative or steel, composite, or otherwise safety toes.
