KEEN UtilityMen's Red Hook Mid Height Composite Toe Waterproof Warehouse Work Boot

Works well for narrow feet
I have a very hard time finding work boots that fit. I have size 13 (US) feet that are very narrow. Most work boots, especially Keens, seem to be made for more voluminous feet. These ones, however, do fit me well and are comfortable all day. (I do add my own custom insoles)As far as how they hold up; I do commercial flooring so the toes are always the first to go from being dragged on the ground. That said, my first pair lasted almost a year before I had to reinforce the toe with an aftermarket toe protector. I'm on my second pair but have gone through several sets of laces. I'm not sure if it's the quality the laces or if the eyelets on the boots are overly abrasive. I haven't had this problem with other boots. My first pair was actually still going strong after a year. What did them in was the top lace hook snapped, making it impossible to lace all the way to the top. I've read and heard from others that this is a fairly common problem with Keens in general since the hooks are molded plastic instead of metal.The composite toe is nice. It makes the boot lighter and doesn't set off metal detectors. The waterproof membrane never wore out on my first pair. While I work indoors, I still live and work in the PNW so unloading materials outdoors and just walking to and from job sites tested their waterproof capabilities and they never let me down.More than likely I will keep buying these boots as I wear them out. I feel like a year of abuse is fair for the life of a work boot, and with some added toe protection and some extra care when I lace them, I might get more long longevity out of my current pair.

Lightweight
This boot is lightweight and feels more like a tennis shoe. The bottom is flat which helps my foot glide better. I love thr blue and grey combo. I ordered a men's 7 to fit my women's 8.5 foot and they fit perfectly with good wiggle room for my toes.

Good boots
Great boots, lightweight and super comfortable. Will probably buy again when they wear out.

Keen waterproof
Color is good, may get 8 months of wear out of them but I also walk 15 plus miles a day at work, size runs a little small

Loved the boots UNTIL they broke Updated
2nd Update: I contacted Keen. They gave me a credit for the value of the boots to buy another pair on their website. I had to add a little to it to get a pair. Nowhere near as comfortable as these but they are well built and sturdy.1st Update: I continued to wear these boots for about another 40 days after the first speed hook broke off. I used the remaining speed hook to double the lace until today it snapped off while I was driving. They looks sharp, so if looks is all you are after and not a daily wear work boot buy them. If you actually plan to work in them buy something else. I’m so disappointed! I’ve worn work boots nearly 40 years, cheap Walmart boots and expensive high end $350 boots. Save your money. A $50 pair of CAT boots from Walmart will last longer than these. I sure was fooled by the last pair of Keens.These are my second pair of Keen boots. I was looking for a comfortable electric safety hazard boot with a composite toe and was very pleased with my fist pair that lasted me 3 years. These were great when I got them last month. Light and comfortable. I was showing them off to my employees and bragging on them.I was a little concerned when I saw the speed hooks were plastic but figured if they were on Keen Boots they must be tested and reliable. I didn’t know they were plastic until I got them. 4 weeks in I was lacing up my boots and “Pop” one of the speed hooks snapped off. Very Disappointing.I can’t afford to buy another pair right now and it is past the 30 day return window so I’ll just have to live with it a while. If not for this they would get 5 stars. Other than the poor quality plastic speed hooks these boots are comfortable and look great. Just be aware that the plastic hooks are subject to snap off.

Very comfortable like a casual shoe but with with all the protection of a work boot
the lace eyelets are not very durable they started breaking off in just over a month. ONLY after i talked three of my crew members into buying them. same thing has happened to all of our boots. BUT I WAS VERY HAPPY for a short time. i usually get a lot better service out of work boots. i have wore TIMBERLAND PRO BOOTS since they first stated making them. I GUESS I AM JUST SPOILED TO A LONG LASTING DEPENDABLE BOOT THAT HAS COMFORT AS WELL. CHANGE THE EYELETS TO METAL AND YOU TO WILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER BOOT. I have been in Power line construction for only 48 years not in a office but working storms & building Power lines in some of the worst conditions.

Best choice.
These boots are my husbands second pair. He swears by them, they’re comfortable and very durable. He had his first pair for several years before buying a new pair.

Eyelet hook problem
Although this is a great shoe and fit , within the first week of wearing the shoes one Of the upper lace hooks broke off . Was able to return them , I purchased the style with holes for the laces , not hooks .Highly recommend these shoes

KEENが作るとワークブーツも一味違う
バイクで使っていますが、強度も十分あり、何より歩きやすいのでワークブーツだというのを感じさせません。良いです。
