  1. Darren Bryenton

    They seem to fit ok but they were returned shoes hence the cheap price I assume.
    I hope they will be comfortable.

    TL;DR: Overall they’re nice shoes, but the edge of the safety toe cap was contacting the base of my toes even standing still, which meant uncomfortable rubbing while moving. So I’m returning them, but leaving an overall positive review for benefit of the doubt just in case I have freakishly tall feet or something.

    Pros:
    – Very breathable on the top of the foot past the safety toe, though this was on a day with 10-20mph winds
    – holds to your foot well, quite stable
    – very nice material
    – the springiness of the shoe is pretty nice (and general cushioning of the bottom of the shoe)
    – there’s cushioning between the safety toe and your foot
    – the actual toe room in the tip of the safety toe is fairly reasonable, I could move my toes around without much problem
    – they look nice, I would say better in real life than the pictures.

    Neutral
    – laces are a bit short for a double knot, but they where long enough to tie with after tightening the whole weave
    – traction is alright, they where very traction-y for the first 30 mins but then went to a reasonable amount of traction, above average for shoes in general but in line with slip resistant rated shoes (which is plenty of traction)
    – I didn’t really try their insoles because I have high arches and tested the shoes with my own insoles, but for the short time I initially tried the shoe’s insoles they where pretty ok

    Con
    – There’s no clearance between the edge of the top of the safety toe (not the tip, I mean the place where the safety toe ends and the rest of the shoe begins) and my feet, and there’s a slight asymmetry to the clearance between the left and right shoe, with the left shoe being worse. Surprisingly the clearance doesn’t get much worse as you move, I don’t know what witch magic they must have done to achieve that. You can also just constantly feel the safety toe, and it’s a part of the shoe that doesn’t have any give (obviously, it shouldn’t) and so it’s fairly uncomfortable, though you can sort of tune it out it’s always a constant annoyance.

    Nice sturdy shoes. Good cushioning and toe protection. They do breathe but my feet still sweat – on the other hand my feet sweat in running shoes too.

    We’re comfy right away no break in but seems to get sloppy feeling after a few months

    I have had two other pairs of Keen safety-toe shoes and some higher number of their hiking footwear. The other safety-toes are boot-type and so I wanted to get something a little more breathable for the summer months at work (at a light-duty manufacturing facility). These fit the bill on that front. They’re pretty lightweight and my feet stay a lot drier. My main complaint is that the toe area feels a bit smaller than the other two Keen safety-toes I’ve had, or any other Keens I’ve had. For me, it’s fine. I notice it when I put the shoes on, but after a short while I forget about it, so they’re not doing any painful or destructive rubbing. Just not the excellent level of fit + comfort, for my foot shape/size, that I’ve been accustomed to with Keen.

    I’ve needed safety/steel toe shoes for work for about a year and a half now and I’ve gone through 4 pairs. Initially I had the Skecher Canktons and they only lasted for about 4 months before the built in memory foam insole wore completely through on the ball of my foot, until then they were pretty comfortable for the price. Then I used the Caterpillar Brode steel toe, and that got me about 10 months or so, they’re pretty comfortable like a heavy skate shoe, but they’re basic and there’s nothing great about them. After wearing those out the outside of my pinky toe joint started rubbing on the inside of the shoe, basically starting to give me a bunion. Because of this issue I bought the Reebok Sublites and used those for about two weeks before i realized they weren’t going to work. Because my foot was already aggravated, the same problem persisted. I don’t doubt that had I not had this problem they would have been much better.

    With all that being said, I was quite disappointed in the Reeboks. The pictures I’ve added are comparing the Reeboks to the Keens. The Reeboks are basically a basic reebok shoe you’d find at Shoe Carnival with an alloy toe. The worst thing about the shoes are the soles are awful. They’re a hard plastic material with no give whatsoever, making walking on concrete just awful. For 100+ i was very surprised at the design. So after this, i forked out the money on Prime day and bought these for 75$ (somehow). I was instantly very impressed and I basically knew they would be great before ever wearing them to work. I did go up half a size and went with wide to ensure i didn’t have any issues with the fit.

    I’ve now been wearing these to work for over 4 weeks. The most noticeable aspect about these shoes is comfort. These literally might be the most comfortable pair of shoes i own, including casual shoes. The Keen.regen cushioning thing that is advertised is very noticeable imo, and i didn’t expect that. As i said, the Reebok soles are hard as a rock, the Keen soles give a shocking amount when you press them. It almost feels like the shoes propel you forward, then soften the impact each step while you walk. The construction of the shoe seems great as well, they’re much more sturdy, while the Reeboks are lighter and are maybe more nimble to walk in. I don’t review anything on Amazon which is why this is so long, but I wanted to write this review because i think there are alot of people that have similar problems with safety shoes and can’t afford to fork out $100+ every 3 weeks for a new pair. I highly recommend these shoes, I’ll be permanently buying Keens until/unless i have a negative experience, and i think these are well worth the 125$ retail price. Buy these if you want to avoid foot pain and don’t want to waste money on multiple pairs of safety shoes.
