Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Flint II Sport Carbon Fiber Toe

very comfortable shoes for work

I was amazed that they weren’t heavy!

These are very comfortable and I wear them every time I go to work. I like the carbon fiber toes instead of steel toes. Will buy another pair when these wear out.

Not bad. Not very cute.

The shoes were a little tight around little toe and small in the length.

the shoes are lighter and Comfortable

These shoes are heavy, but really great for that wider toebox. Always go a full size up in a Keens.

I ordered this shoe because I liked the look of it and it did not disappoint as being a sturdy shoe. After wearing them about a month I got corns on my baby toes and big toes for the first time in my life. I recommend ordering at least a half size larger and a wider width.

My ankle bone hurts as the webbing rubs on it. Shoes seem too large.

After multiple work boot/shoes, I tried these. They fit well, were comfy and broken in after 1 shift, and all was good. One reason I chose these was because they had loops both on top and on the heel of each shoe -not just small 'tabs' to pull them on. However, just last week (after about a month?), one side of the loop on top of my left shoe broke off while using it to pull the shoe on! Now it's just a long single tab to pull. (The heel loop is still fine.) Other than that, they working out just fine... no complaints!

Great shoes

I love Keen shoes, but these shoes with the steel toe are not so comfortable. They are required for my job. The are heavy and not real comfortable. I have only worn them for 2 days, so maybe as I break them in they will become more comfortable. I do LOVE the look of them.

I only put these on for a few minutes. I have heard Keen are narrow so had high hopes. They were not near narrow enough. With work shoes I know I need a size 10 for length, but normally wear between a 9 1/2 and 10. The length was good but they were much too wide. I thought about putting an insert in, but my heel was super loose as well and I just don't think I would have been able to make them work without a bunch of modifications. Seemed like a good shoe otherwise, but if you have long super narrow feet like me it's probably best to try a different shoe.

Very clunky stiff shoe. Wear an 8 but order down half size and they were snug but wearable. But no cushion or arch support Returned them

True to fit but I wish the material was more giving. Flexible

They have become very comfortable after breaking them in.

The fit is good. It doesn't provide enough arch support so I had to switch out the insoles.

Surprisingly these really support my feet and the plantar fascia finally healed after 2 years. I work eleven hours standing on concrete. Every other brand shoe with steel or composite toe I purchased gave me the worse plantar fasciitis. This was the 8th pair of shoes purchased within 18 months. I did purchase longer socks to prevent the rubbing of the back of my heels and Achilles. I will be purchasing my second pair.

I was initially quite happy with the shoes, it took a fair bit put it on due to the sleeve around the shoe. The laces were good and the overall look of the shoes was good. I wore them around the house and it was good. However, after an hour or so the top part of my left foot felt painful. The shoe seemed to have dug into my foot or my foot was swollen and there was quite and indentation in the skin. I am pre-diabetic and I cant afford to have this. So, this is the reason I am returning them. I have been wearing boots and will probably return to them. That will be my next order, a pair of Keen safety boots. It is my first pair of Keen safety shoes, the brand was recommended by my manager and I wanted to try them. Overall, I was happy with the shoes.

This brand is the only one that worked for my wide feet, because they apparently are made with a wider toe box (which is where my wide-width issue is, all in the toes). For composite toe shoes, they are lighter than other ones I tried, another plus. It is SO hard to find shoes wide enough. My toes are 4 inches across and the left foot just slightly wider than the right. The size 8W (D=wide) Keens Flint II sport, fit the right foot perfectly. After 5 days on the job, the left big toe ended up with a slight blister on the side. But the right was perfectly fine. I gave one less star for Overall just because, hey, they are composite shoes, so they could maybe use some extra cushioning in the toe region. The hard part of the shoe toe, does not rub up against the top of my toes on the inside of the shoe -- another thing that I noticed with other pairs. But still, all my little toes end up hurting half way through the shift, something that I think could be remedied with some nice cushioned insoles. But then might need a half size up...hmmm. Recommend buying one that is regular size (was true to size for me) and one that is half size up. Then put some really nice insoles inside each pair to see which ones fit best. This site makes returns really easy. I will say I have NEVER in my life bought my shoes online, but from a review I found out by chance, I really lucked out getting these so that I could have them ready for my first day at work. That's nothing short of a miracle, because I almost always have to get my shoes at the wide shoe store, or else try on dozens of pairs at athletic stores in order to find one pair that will fit. Depending on the shoe, I have needed to special order double-wide before. I say all of this so that anyone with wide feet, even REALLY wide feet (the toe box especially) may hopefully find luck with this shoe and brand. These shoes seem to breath well too, so if you are rushing around the jobsite, your feet won't get super hot. Good quality material. Another bonus is that they are cute, IMO. Not clunky looking at all. Oh and the reviews about them being tough to put on, I get it, but they really aren't too bad once you get the hang of it. The little loops on the heel and the tongue of the shoe are helpful for pulling them on. I don't struggle getting them on every day lol, but you WILL need to be able to reach your feet to get them on. You won't be able to just wiggle your feet in without using both of your hands. You will need both hands to be fully functioning, so if you have bad arthritis, an injury, or other limitations with your hands... these may not be ideal. Personally I love the stretchy band at the top that holds your foot in, it's cozy-feeling. Worth every penny.

Good sturdy shoes, very nice style but a little to heavy for me.

Little hard at 1st, added a gel insole...awesome shoes....LOVIN the color too!!!

I couldn't even get my instep into the shoe! The tongue of the shoe was attached too high for my foot to get in. Nice looking shoe but will be staying away from Keen shoes until they change the attachment of the tongue. Sorry but sent back already

The opeing of the shoe is very hard to get into.

Worked well for me without crushing my toes.
