Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Louisville 6" Steel Toe

I purchased these boots for a job in Brazil. My last pair were water resistant not water proof so I thought I should get a new pair. The job started at the end of May and these photos were taken at the first of September, essentially 3 months. They are comfortable when you first put them on and break-in is almost non-exsistant, however, after 3 months in Brazil, I find myself with cracked, leaking, uncomfortable boots. I will say, I work 11 hour days, 6 days a week. The conditions are tough, steel grating, water, and gravel and I am not a small person so I give these boots a workout on the construction site. I have owned Keens in the past and I almost feel like they have changed the material of the sole or something, my other pairs seem to have held up better than this. This message is to KEEN - what you do is important, it is a matter of safety and health! Please fix this problem because people like me need good steel toe, water proof, hard working boots!!!

Boots were very comfortable from the start. Most boots I have had in the past, I have had to break them in, not these. I work outdoors in the Florida heat all day. I am constantly scuffing them on equipment, and sometimes they get splashed by some pretty harsh chemicals. I have tried several different boots over the years, and most don't last more than 6 months. These boots after 6 months are still in great shape, my only complaint is the shoestrings. The outer layer broke about 5 months in, so I replaced them. Other than that, I highly recommend these boots.

I have owned these boots for 450 days and have probably worn them all day for 375 of those days. They are still waterproof, still feel great, and have no ailments. I won't give them a five star rating because I've had to replace both shoelaces. Keen makes a special 'bumpy' lace that works well with these boots but doesn't last through the life of the boot. They would do well to include an additional pair of laces with the boots.

Very, very comfortable! There is plenty of room in the toes and feel durable. Like any steel toe work boot, it will take a few days to break in. But I think I found the boots that I will use from now on.

I’ve been wearing Timberland Pit Boss for a year or so after wearing Keen for a number of years. I started developing plantar fasciitis and after 2weeks of wearing the Louisville’s, my foot pain has subsided. I own a gardening/landscape maintenance business and we are very hard on our foot wear. While the timberlands were lighter in weight, Keen is much more comfortable for my feet. Never going back to another brand again.

First off I would like to say thank you to Zappos for their impeccable customer service, the free shipping and quality products that they carry. Secondly these boots are by far some of the best that I have worn. They are extremely comfortable, they are warm and they give great support. I normally wear a pair of boots out in about six months, but these boots have not shown the first bit of wear yet, if anything changes I will update this post. Please note: if you do have any problem with any product that Zappos sells, do not blame Zappos because they are merely a distributor and not a manufacturer. Zappos is a great company.

The steel toe cup is as wide as the shoe so it does not rub against your toes. Very happy with the width, I have unusually wide feet and these are comfortable right out of the box.

Fantastic boots. They are a bit larger than I would have hoped (~0.5 size, maybe less) but it's nice to have some extra room for heavy socks.

Very comfortable very reliable will tell friends and family to get one

Partner loves them, Keenes are the only works boots he'll wear. On his feet doing masonry daily so they take a beating and stand up to the wear.

Good fit. I usually wear a four E but these double E fit well.

Boy do I love these boots. Keen is one of the few boot builders who actually build boots that are shaped properly for the human foot. They look great, feel great - are not too heavy and clunky like some steel toes, but they're very study all the while. I did have to buy some additional cushy insoles. After the first day of wearing them my feet were not too happy. With the cushy insoles these are so incredibly comfy I practically want to sleep in them.

These are great looking work boots. I bought them for my brother and he loves them. They look nice and they are comfortable.

Overall, these are really well built boots. I am very happy with these as a replacement for my work boots. They run true to size, if not a bit generous in the toe box/ front, I was relieved to find the steel toe was very unobtrusive and comfortable. They are roomy enough to accommodate my rigid orthotics.

I ordered these because I have been so pleased with the Keen Atlantas that I have been wearing at work. At first they were stiff and I worried a bit but in a short time they became the most comfortable steel toes I have worn. I used to come home and immediately take off my boots to put on non steel toe shoes but now I just leave them on. These are worth a shot if you do not like steel toe shoes. Give them a bit to loosen up and you will believe it too!

The fit was ok, but didn’t hug my foot like I wanted them to. Didn’t feel like there was any arch support either. Guess you could put an arch support in them to solve that. My other concern was the leather, I felt like they were going to be easily damaged with scuffs and water.

I ordered a size larger than my normal, but I should have ordered 2 sizes larger. Toe box too small for my large feet. Ok for short term wear, but not for long term.

I've owned this brand in the past and loved every pair. Unfortunately these boots were not a good fit. Maybe I didn't give them enough time to break in but I couldn't get over how uncomfortable they were.

perfect.

The boots are excellent. ?

amazing . nothing wrong at all .. 5stars

The fit was spot on.

I love the boot , very comfortable , but they are heavy and for ten hours shifts the feet and legs will feel it. all ready have a pair

overall liked them , but working for Amazon as a driver there to heavy. especially if you working 10hrs plus . better to be light on feet

still want to get the right size. getting a 8.5
