Customer Reviews KEEN Brooklyn Mid

I agree with people who say it's comfortable right out of the box. And while I've only been wearing them for work for a couple of weeks, they already seem to be breaking in to a more glove like soft fit, while holding the boot shape without problem. How they'll wear in the long run has me slightly concerned as they weren't cheap, although they were cheaper than strictly high quality work boots. Wet grip on slopes isn't great where I'm climbing around on the decks of steel ships, but then again, neither are "boat" shoes so I haven't found anything that works great for that. But I didn't need steel toes, wanted waterproof for standing outside in the rain, and higher than my Keen Austin shoes. Seems like a good combination, and as they were on clearance, all the better. Style isn't something that has me giddy, but I'm about the farthest from somebody to inspire a wardrobe as you'd get, and I'm not really that concerned. I wear them with khakis and they don't look out of place at all. I'd get another pair at this point for sure. Having worn Birkis for years, most workboot type shoes have a very narrow toe box and these are a very welcome change from them, and I'll easily be able to wear them with warm, woolen socks, something I found impossible with Irish Setter boots and shoes I've had in the past without severe toe crunchage.
