I've been a bartender for 30 years. These are the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn for my job. They aren't the prettiest things in the world but they sure do feel good. I'm on my third pair and I'll keep buying them as long as Keen makes them.

I've worked in kitchens for the last 15 years and have always struggled to find shoes that work for me in that environment. Finding a shoe that is comfortable, well made, and easy to keep clean isn't easy, and I've tried a lot of them. The Keen Utility PTC Oxford is a fantastic kitchen shoe. The most supportive and comfortable I've ever owned. It's well constructed and the leather is easy to keep clean. I'll definitely be buying more of these in the future.

I work at a restaurant and am on my feet all day and needed some comfortable shoes that I could use and that would be slip resistant. And these shoes were perfect! Great pair!

I work in a fast paced restaurant, 5 days a week, all year long. These shoes last me one year before the soles wear this enough that safety becomes an issue. The non-slip soles work wonders for wet kitchen floors and potential slip hazards. The only thing I would suggest, and have, to Keen, would be a breathable upper. I have yet to find an ASDM certified non-slip shoe with a breathable upper for keeping your feet ventilated and cool while you work.

I am a fan of Keen shoes and this will make the fifth pair that I have owned. The cush insoles are amazing. I had thought my previous Keens were comfortable until I had bought some of their slippers with the cush insole. Coming home from work I would throw those on and my already happy feet would would thank me for doing so. I work on my feet all day in a retail/food environment. With this in mind and needing work shoes with a non slip outsole I decided to go for these. Do it, you will not be sorry. When you put them on the first time they are going to be stiff, more so than many other shoes. Do not fret, it is all padding that will pack in after a few wears. In fact they will probably be almost perfect after the second full day of wear. There is zero break in discomfort. Having owned Keens in the past I have had issues with sizing, some too small and some large with the same size labeling. These are true to size so buy with no worries.

This is my third pair of these. I have to wear treads safe shoes for work and could never find a durable/comfortable pair until I found these. They are great work shoes, I'm tough on shoes and on my feet all day and these are the only non-slip shoes that can keep up.

These are undoubtedly the best work shoes I've ever owned! I'm a woodworker and on my feet 10 to 12 hours per day and these offer the best support while still providing toe room that I've seen. Happy feet finally!

This brand and type of shoe is the best fitting and most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! I usually do not pay this much for shoes but my wife bought me a pair of brown Keens and my feet thought they had died and went to heaven! So...I bought these for work. You will not be sorry if you purchase any style Keen shoe. They are great!

Bought for work on airport ramp in the warmer months. Was looking for a shoe with a good toe guard as I have to crawl under wings of aircraft to pull chocks. Too icy to wear yet but the design is promising. Very comfortable walking around the house and love the wide toe box.

Wide toe box, and the rubber kick protection over the toe keeps that worn-out spot from forming from kicking open the kitchen door. Durable and long lasting.

I first started wearing these shoes when my brother in law started working for Keen and I absolutely love them. I work for the post office and I really enjoy the comfort of the shoes plus I like the style. I started wearing a new pair today and got a compliment from a coworker. One other employee wears the same pair

I ordered Oxford dress shoes I saw my order confirmed for Oxford PTC. I liked how the PTC looked so I did not complain about it. When I get new shoe I usually have to buy a thicker foam insoles. I had to do that with this pair of shoes as well. I like how well I can walk all day in these shoes. Usually I buy hard toe shoes, but I am experimenting with the bumper toe. I already slammed my toes into a cart wheel, the bumper toe protected my toes, no pain . I am a nurse, moving fast,making turns. These shoes stay on and perform very well.

Great shoe Ive been wearing this as a chef for many years.
I am a little bit disappointed that the shoe laces are not as long now. Harder for this old man to get them tied up!

The previous sole on the Oxford was prone to delamination and posed a tripping hazard in certain situations. This new, one piece sole is beyond great. It has terrific traction and grip on all surfaces. The new sole among with the comfort weve come to love with this shoe make it the best choice for someone who is on their feet all day.

I bought these shoes for my son who just got a job as a dishwasher at a resteraunt. He loves them!!! He said to me that he doesn't slip no matter how wet or greasy the floor is. Thanks!

I am a keen lover. For some reason this shoe simply didn't fit right. Maybe it was a bad pair. I will continue to buy keen footwear and products.

My Keen PRC Oxfords are so comfortable and yet with good arch support and a non-slip sole ....a perfect shoe for work on a concrete floor, standing all day! I had to return my shoes for a 1/2 size larger because I wear thick socks, and the process was smooth and satisfactory.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn on the kitchen. I can easily do 10+ hours on my feet without pain. I would recommend these along with the Keen Insoles for regular everyday shoes for recovery purpose.

I needed a pair of black shoes to bartend in, but something that is good in a busy kitchen as well. These have been great so far. I feel great after an 8 hour shift on my feet, which was something I struggled with in a basic black sneaker. The anti-slip sole is awesome, which is super important behind the bar or in the kitchen I work at which has tile floors. They are super easy to wipe clean at the end of a shift, although they are a little shinier than I usually prefer. All in all, a great restaurant shoe!

My friend told me to try you guys out for work shoes. Im a chef so Im on my feet a lot.
These are the best work shoes Ive ever worn. You guys keep this level of quality craftsmanship in your product & I will never switch to another shoe.
These flip flops are fantastic too. I had a $200 budget & a plan to get 2 pair of NBs. Got the Keens instead. VERY happy I did. Youll get my next $200 footwear purchase as well.
Great work guys. We need more companies like you making products to this standard.

I have worn this model for years and this pair is the most uncomfortable one I have ever had because of the rigid leather.
I have given it time to soften but they are still firm.
