Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Braddock Low (Steel Toe)

I hate to do this because I have loved Every pair of Keen Utility shoes that I have purchased in the past, but the lace holes break. Everything about the shoes is perfect, from comfort to durability, EXCEPT the lace loops. If they were eyelets, all would be well. But they're not. And they broke. Now I own a $160 pair of slippers. Useless.

Laces ripped within 2 months and lace holes ripped within 6 months. Not worth the money.

These are excellent, very well made, rugged work shoes. I have owned a pair for over a year and I wear them 4 days a week, 10 hours per day. Very comfortable and sturdy. They look great too.

Arch support is too high. Take off 1/2, perfect.

Was the first time that i spent over the allowed shoe allowance from working at amazon, but i was impressed that they lasted as long as they did almost a year and half, the only gripe was the insoles that came inside of them lost all support after 4 months or so

Almost 2 years old and still fit like new.

Excellent shoes, love the steel toes, perfect fit.

I purchased these through our safety shoe program at work after returning another brand that didn’t fit right. These fit well and are very comfortable. When wearing them I’m on my feet for 10 hours and I feel comfortable in them. Although a little more expensive than their other models these are made in the US.

Perfect fit, just like every keen. A little front heavy with steel toe. The laces are much different than my previous 3 pairs of Braddock mid. Laces feel cheaper. The laces feel like plastic and are very hard and wavy, which could lead to cutting the fabric eyelets they thread thru when tightening.

True to size and roomy in the toe box.

Perfect fit.

I usually can’t buy shoes online because they do not fit, my feet are extra wide but they were perfect and very comfortable.

Perfect fit! Comfortable, rugged and plenty of support.

good quality

This is my second pair of this shoe. I purchased Keen Utility PTC Oxford in the past but after they deteriorated I purchased these and they have held up longer. I work in the kitchen, constantly on my feet, I use my orthotics in these shoes. The black is ideal because grease and food get on my shoes and turn them black anyway so this helps conceal the dirt and grime. Slip resistant and waterproof are a must. The lace holes did wear out for me as mentioned in other reviews, but after I changed the laces to a skinner laces and a year and half into daily, constant wear. Going to replace the laces with the thicker Keen brand laces (if available) and hopefully avoid another lace hole breaking.

Great work shoes

First pair of Keen shoes. I have always had Red Wing in the past. The Keen Utility shoes are the bomb.com. Order them, you will love them. Made in the USA too. You need to do this!

I usually don't review shoes, but felt these deserved it. I got these specifically for a DIY kitchen demo I was doing. Lots of sharp tile and underlayment with thousands of sharp nails and staples sticking up. A lot of time spent on my knees and toes stripping tiles. These are great. Tough as nails, very comfy, good support. They make your feet feel very protected. So far they have worn well, no damage. I am not a huge Keen fan, I usually find the fit too wide and sloppy, but these fit nicely.

Very comfortable and light weight steel toe shoe to wear all day. They were comfortable the first day I put them on. Very impressed by Keen footwear as I wear a pair of Keen Utility Pittsburgh Boots most of the winter and these shoes all summer. Love these Keen's and would purchase again.
