Customer Reviews KEEN Utility PTC Dress Oxford (Soft Toe)

I love it

I’m a professional chef and use these KEENS in that capacity. They are very comfortable, durable, and slip resistant. I have had bouts of plantar fasciitis in the past and these shoes perform well for me. Worth every penny...

I love this shoes. They are perfect to work, hiking , everyday of havy using.

Excellent shoe choice for work. There is a roomy toe box, and really good arch and ankle support. Waterproof leather uppers with a rubberized toe. I'm on my feet all day at work and my feet don't get tired in these. I've ordered the same pair many times now and plan to continue.

This is my third pair of these shoes. Each pair has lasted me 2-3 years of every day wear to work in my office. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and worth the money.

My wife insisted I get some hipper oxfords for our evenings out and my conference trips. I often do a lot of walking for these outings, and needed something that were solid walkers but still a bit formal. These are it.

Bought my first Keen Utility August, 2015. One year later they're still in pretty decent shape, especially considering the work out they get at the airport with my luggage handling job. Going to replace the insole this weekend and see if I can get some more time out of them. Sole is getting thin under my big toe so I'm ready, when need be, to get a second pair of Keen Utility shoes. Keen are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, be it my sandals(2), hikers(1), or water shoes(1). I've had good results with wear and durability.

These are really good shoes. They offer boot like reinforcement but with the weight and feel of a shoe. This is my second pair of Keen shoes and I have been very happy with quality. Also they hold up really well in the rain, the glue and stitch seems are real solid. I use them for work, (I'm a delivery guy), also if you notice the toe portion is covered by rubber making them great for day hikes in mild rocky conditions or 1-2 inch mud puddles are no problem for this shoe!

Great shoes! Still feel good at the end of a 10 hour day in the kitchen. They are also non slip. I've tried many kitchen shoes over the years and I think these are the best!

These are insanely comfortable and dressy enough that I wear them to work. The soles have enough cushion to make them great for walking. I do have one ongoing beef with Keen, and I gather some others have the same: we like many Keen models because the toe boxes are generous (I need 4Es in some brands) but this model, like many other Keen models, is sold only as "Medium" or "D" width, even though it is much better (wider) than that. But then, some Keen mediums really are Ds and I've had to return them... Note to Keen: sell all your shoes in both true and accurately labeled mediums and wides!

After 6 years in the airline industry I finally found the perfect shoe for me. Before I begin let me tell you I wear the same over-the-counter 3/4 length arch and medatarsal support in all my shoes including running shoes because I have a high arch. I wear a 10 1/2 running shoe and bought the 9 1/2 in this shoe. it fits like a glove. I love this shoe !! it is comfortable through the entire day. It looks good with my uniform. I use my feet to close drawers and the shoes feel like I am wearing bumpers. I do a lot of walking through airports and the shoes stay comfortable. When I take them off there is very little perspiration. I have Keen sandals with the same toe box and wear an 8 1/2 in that but do not wear the arch support in sandals. KEEN please do not discontinue or change this shoe. I love them!

I am on my feet 7-9 hours a day, and have recently began to have some pain in my feet. I own a pair of Keen sandals and love those, especially for my visits to Walt Disney World, so I thought I would give these shoes a shot. LOVE them as much as my sandals. They are lightweight, have excellent support. I would highly recommend these!

I am a sous chef in a popular restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio and a devout Birkenstock Superbirki wearer with custom orthotics. My birkis began to tear at the top of the foot, like Ive seen many times in the restaurant to fellow co-workers. I love the clogs, but have been eager to try something new. After much browsing and him-hawing, I settled on these shoes for a few reasons. Keen is a very popular brand in comfortable footwear with a reputation in being very supportive and holding up over time. I wasn't familiar with their utility line before this. I have put a couple weeks of work into these shoes and I have to say they are impressing me. Non slip is very good on our tile floors during end of shift clean up, and I have no arch pain with the standard insoles. We will see how the soles hold up to the wear and tear, but so far so good. Im not a giant fan of the lacing and getting dirty laces, but that's the trade off for a shoe that holds to your foot better.

Only in week two. This is my fifth pair of Keens. Two sandals, 1 water shoe, and a hiking boot. So far these are very comfortable. Even the shoe laces seem to be designed to stay tied. I drive an airport shuttle so they will get a good workout. The only change I would recommend is a square heel. These "tapered" back heels give up a little in support, as I handle heavy luggage all day. I'll give it six months and report back.

Awesome! I'm so glad I tried them. Now I know why my brother and his wife buy Keens for their whole family - they're great shoes! Roomy toe box, great support, non skid soles - I can stand all day in these, and I do! I wish I had found them 10 years ago! Some may say the style is a bit funky, but they're work shoes - who cares! (I actually think they're cute.)

These are great, durable shoes. They are extremely comfortable. They are aesthetically holding up very well to this point. They seem to be waterproof and water resistant so far. I really like the shoes and will definitely buy them again when the time comes. These are good shoes at a good price.

I bought these shoes for working as a server in a restaurant, and think they are great. The slip resistance is really superior - I was slipping a lot before in the line and back by the dishwasher. They are easy to clean, oil/polish, and buff also. They are a bit roomy in the toe box, but that's okay with me, for what I also did, was replaced the insoles, which in my opinion are just okay, with a pair of Spenco walker/runners, which have superior cushion and shock absorption. I just got the larger pair of inserts and cut them down to make up for the larger toe box in these. Now they are just right, and the inserts, being more substantial take up that little bit of extra room in these shoes just right . I no longer have any back pain, and my legs don't get as heavy/tired even on double shifts, which speak to the overall support of this shoe too. They look great, are lightweight, easy to maintain - I would say, for sure, and ideal shoe to work in a restaurant.

I bought these shoes because I have had Keens in the past, and had great luck with them. I started to have pain in my arch several months ago, and had to find a supportive pair of shoes for work. I need to wear black shoes, so the choices were more limited, but I bought these, and they have been fantastic. My arch pain has gradually diminished, and the wide toe box is great after a long day on my feet. These are great shoes, I would definitely get another pair, and highly recommend them.

Keen discontinued pair of shoes that were almost identical accept for the tread on the sole. I was happy to find these shoes. I am on my feet a good 12 to 16 hours a day. These shoes are comfortable all day long. I am pleased with the durability, quality and comfort of Keen Utility PTC Dress Oxford. Thinking of getting another pair so I can rotate them. I used to have trouble with my feet until I found these.

I really like this shoes, the slip resistant sole compares to shoes for crews performance wise and they last a good amount of time (had my first pair for 2 years and decided to get new ones because the sole was wearing off, not because there were holes on the sims or top materials). Wish for a boot style.

Almost the perfect restaurant shoe for a woman who wears 9 EE (7 D in this shoe, men's size) and cannot find comfortable non-slips -- but this wasn't wide enough. Purchased the Keen Dustin low instead which fits like a dream. For what it is, it's perfect, just not wide enough for my freakishly wide feet.

I work on my feet and need a shoe with a decent amount of with for my toes. These shoes are great for me. I have bought them two times and will continue to do so. Very comfortable.

I bought these for my step-son as a Christmas gift. He's on his feet all day for work and needed a sturdy, slip resistant shoe. This fit the bill and look really good as well. He's pleased.

I can't rave enough about these shoes. First of all, I'm a landscape designer in Seattle, and these are completely waterproof below the tongue. Very water-resistant at tongue as well. This means I can muck around in peoples' soppy yards and focus on my work rather than on my cold feet - which they are not because these Keens keep them warm and dry. They also feel sturdy and well-built. But, they are also dressy enough for the office and for any special occasions. So, they're on triple duty, being that they're my 1) Muck around outside working boots 2)Office shoes, and 3) casual dress shoes, Seattle style. And it amazes me that I bought these 7 months ago, and have worn them nearly every day and aside from subtle lines in the leather where the foot flexes, they appear to show no signs of wear whatsoever. It is very rare that I ever find clothing or shoes that live up to my rough and raw ruggedness AND my more civilized city slicker sensibilities...but these very much do. Oh, plus, I have wide feet. Not that wide, just that most shoes make my toes feel a bit cramped. These don't. Yeyyy! Don't ever stop making these, Keen! Please!

This is a very comfortable shoe and the sizing is perfect. I have had Keen hiking shoes in the past and this Utility series might be even better. It's obvious they have put some time and effort into designing a great work shoe.
