KEEN UtilityMen's MT Vernon 6" Steel Toe Metatarsal Guard Work Boot

Don't like the meta guards on the outside cuz the tend to curve inward when lonely tying. Not very scratch resistant on the leather. Bottom sold is not rock solid puncture proof but over nothing fully has gone completely through. I work at a glass factory 12 hour shifts on otherwise super smooth concrete with slippery glass coating and the soles are shredded up like I've been walking on outside grooved concrete for a year. 90 days. Had to buy better insoles and on top of that had to buy the inserts on top of those for 12 hr standing shifts. Otherwise the best durable bulletproof boot I've ever owned out of 100s

Update: Just don't buy Keen footwear! I not only have I had 3 different pairs of keen footwear literally fall apart in a matter of months, when I attempted to get them replaced under Keen's supposed "warranty", I was told "that is normal wear and tear....and not covered under warranty." WHAT!?!?! 4 months of wear, boots literally fall apart, and that is somehow "normal"?? Keen can take a flying leap! $200+ boots, that fall apart in MONTHS, and Keen refuses to back their products? NO THANK YOU! I can find better ways to waste money!Update: PURCHASED LATE DEC 2017, AS OF MARCH 2018, THEY ARE FALLING APART! My rating on these boots just went to ZERO! $200+ boots that start falling apart within 3 months!?! With a bit less than 3 months of daily wear, these are starting to fall apart! A couple of days ago we had a bit of snow, and when walking between shops, I noticed my foot felt "wet"..... I looked, and the stitching around the toe had broken/unraveled and there's a gap in the seam! For the money I paid for these, I would expect MUCH longer wear before things go south! I'm going to take them to a local shoe repair outfit and see if they can sew/seal the seams that are opening up.The fit is very good/true to size. The laces are VERY long, requires me to wrap the laces around the ankle or double tie them to keep from stepping on them. The insoles provided are pretty poor. Although you can buy much better aftermarket insoles, for the price of these boots, I would expect the insoles to be be better...they are just cheap pressed foam. Time will tell how the durability is, but my initial impression is that they are well made.

Update 15MAY20: I love these boots but the stitching has failed. I fixed the failed stitching by super gluing the seam and it is holding well using thin CA and a catalyst. Doesn't look bad either. Took a long time to truly break in and where the boots needed to change shape to fit my feet is where the stitching let go. Now the boots are really comfortable and I really like them. Still give them 5 starsOrigional Review: I am a picky wearer of work boots. My feet are shaped wide and the inside of my feet are almost completely straight (the heel to big toe line also is in line with the big toe joint). This means that my big toe always gets a lot of pressure from the toe cup. With some adjustments with pads, I was able to get this shoe to fit well. The footbed is hard and could use more padding or an insole. The wide version of this boot is pretty wide, which is awesome. I have only worn these boots for two days so far and the initial impression is that they are very hot, very sturdy, and actually are pretty dressy and go well with nicer clothes. If you are a salesman that needs to visit steel mills, aerospace, and the occasional sawmill, or you are an engineer like I am, these are a really great choice. You wont look like a burke in a nice restaurant and you will be comfortable at work as well - and you know that your feet are safe from everything short of a free-range jackhammer.

Grade A- for comfort. I’ve worn a lot of work boots and these are the most comfortable I’ve found. They hurt a little around my ankles when they were breaking in but that went away in a week. The toe box is very roomy so I installed thin padded inserts which helped with the rather firm sole padding.I can’t evaluate durability because they’re still new. I’m concerned they will not be as durable as typical work boots. As the headline says, they’re built like hiking shoes. On the plus side they are significantly lighter than other work boots I’ve worn. For my job, comfort is far more important than durability. I’m only in environments that require safety shoes about 25% of the time. I just never know when, so I have to wear safety shoes all day. If you’re in that situation, these are the shoes for you. I should also mention I have owned several pairs of Keen sandals and outdoor shoes. All were remarkably durable, so maybe these will surprise me.Grade B+ for appearance. They don’t look either good or bad to me, just utilitarian. On the other hand, several guys in our shop definitely noticed them and complimented me on them. The shoes have a lot of stitching on them and on my pair there were no flaws in the stitching.One minor complaint: When I got them the leather had some little scuffs where the shoes rubbed together during shipping. Not enough of a problem to return them, but when I pay this much money for shoes I expect them to be in perfect condition. Keen just needs to wrap them in paper a little more.

Just got these boots today but so far they are well worth the money! They are comfortable right from the start. I look forward to seeing how they feel in a few days after broke in. They are light weight and seem like durable boots. I've gone through several brands of boots over the years trying to find a pair that I really like. I think I've finally found that pair in these!

I have more then one pair of shoes from this brand my winter boots and hiking shoes also the insoles are not as spongy as my regular shoes but definitely more comfortable then my timberlands I own

Boots exactly as described, size accurate.

I liked that they were comfortable and light....but after only one week the stitching is literally falling apart.....very unsatisfied
