KEEN UtilityMen's Sparta 2 Low Height Alloy Toe Industrial Work Shoe

I work in a dealership as a Diesel Technician for Ford. I work on this shoes 12 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. They are nice with pants and shorts too. I tried different type of work shoes, boots, and even the ones from those Instagram adds about indestructible shoes, ( those lasted about 7 months and they suck but they were cheap lol). Bought my first pair of KEEN's on April 2021, that pair lasted me 13 months, although the next pair lasted me 7 months only. I just ordered my third pair, I really hope it can last at least the year. From a scale from 1 to 10 I would give it an 8 on being comfortable, a 7 for slip resistant, (most of the time holds pretty well but there has been a few instances where I slipped but thank god never fell), I'm not sure if its water resistant but i never had a concern where water got through, sometimes I wash parts with a pressure washer and never seems to get water inside. It is not Steel toe but I honestly think it's fine, it is not as heavy as a Steel Toe, feels pretty light and it has saved my toes a few times were a tool or a part fell on my feet. They will start tearing from were your foot bends on the toe part as it wears out, also the no slip part will work less as it wears down, the shoe laces when they get oily they will not hold as well, I had to often stop and tie em up again. Overall one of the best shoes for work out there, at least for my type of work. There you go. Update 11/5 This third pair lasted exactly 9 months. From February to November. This is how they look. They still feel comfortable but it's time for the fourth pair.

I have generally used Sketchers work shoes but decided to give Keen a try based on reviews. I purchased Utility Men’s Sparta shoes with alloy toe. I work in industrial setting. First thing I noticed is how light they were compared to Sketchers work shoe with composite toe. Shoes feel very light. I did use another insert in shoe since I have issues with heal pain. Right out of the box very comfortable. Very good oil slip grip. Also wanted EH hazard which these have. Would buy again.

Very good looking shoes light and comfortable.

After wearing 5 or 6 versions of safety shoes, these are by far the best. My employer pays for other options, but I was glad these were on sale. Really comfortable, size was accurate, I can wear the supplied insoles with my own too, and they feel like I’m wearing regular sneakers. I had heard that kind of talk for other safety shoes (including a few that I’ve worn), but this is the first time that it has been true for me. Unknown brands, Reebok, and New Balance let me down. Keen for the win. Mine are in an obnoxious color, but the price was right and they feel great.

I've spent hundreds of dollars trying to find a performance safety shoe like this one, out of the box comfortable and lightweight with good arch support.I am in a hot environment; I take about 8-10,000 steps per day on average on concreate and they are holding together like they should except for the collar padding is showing some signs of use which is typical I've found for people who walk a lot.

This shoe is everything you would expect from a keen shoe except that the composite toe is incredibly uncomfortable when you have to squat or bend your foot in anyway. At first I thought I had the wrong size but this is the third size and still very uncomfortable most of the day. If you spend any time on your knees or squatting down at work this is not the shoe for you. It’s a bummer because I have hiking shoes and water shoes from them and I love them but definitely not the work shoes. I gave them a month to see if they would break in or improve but it has not changed at all.

It's nice to have a pair of Keens that don't look like a work boot. I got these as probably my 20th pair of Keens. These are the most comfortable yet! Lightweight for Keens. Fit great right away. I actually went back and bought a second pair exactly the same as a backup.

The shoe comfortable and easy to walk in out of the box. No break-in necessary.

Work shoes fit perfect for me at 11.5. I found them very comfortable and light. I wear 11.5 under armour hover running shoe and the fit the same.
