Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Flint II (Steel Toe)

Needed safety shoes for work, wear size 5.5 wide - Had to return this pair of Keen Flint II for a different brand of safety work shoes. The protection on the right shoe was just long enough along the side of the shoe that it kept scraping my tailor's bunion (right side of foot past little toe). Left shoe was perfect. If not for the tailor's bunion, I'd have kept these shoes. The fit was nice, shoes were very sturdy and quite comfortable at heel and toes (except for that one small area). Went with Skechers Lyndale 5.5 wide composite toe ... has just enough give for the tailor's bunion.

heavy shoes

The fit and size were true to size. Good quality shoe. Very comfortable

very comfortable ..

They definitely need better sizing, they hurt my feet not good when I'm on my feet all night. Would not recommend these.

When I tried these on, they were slipping on my heels so I tried tightening the laces a little. That did fix the slipping, but the top of the lace was digging into the top of my foot so hard that it still hurt after I took them off. They weren't laced THAT tight so it's something wrong with the design. I tried another pair of Keens, the Flint II Sport, and the laces were fine even when tightened. I wear a 9 in most shoes but 9.5 in running shoes, so I ordered the 9.5. I think a 9 would fit correctly aside from the problem with the laces.

I think I might have gotten a size too small. My feet feel very cramped in there with and without insoles which I need for my 10 hour shifts. The shoes feel fine for the most part when I'm actively walking but my feet feel like they're being squeezed when I'm sitting at rest. Where the steel toe point begins I feel the tightest pinch too. The look of the shoe is very nice though, so aesthetically pleasing. The only thing I don't really like is how the shoes have to be laced up. It feels like I'm either tightening too tight or too loose!

Decent looking work shoe, but the ankle is a bit low and my heel would come out while walking with or without inserts. I have slightly high arches and there wasn't much arch support. I think it was true to width, but I typically wear a 7.5 and had to go with a 7 for it to fit right, ended up returning do to the issue with my feet coming out while walking. Customer service is awesome!

The tongue of the shoes bunch up at the top and create a bump that digs into my foot and makes is sore. No matter what I do to straighten it out it just bunches back up.

Very uncomfortable.

The size was good. Based on other reviews I ordered my true size which is a 6 and 1/2. They fit fine with room for my toes to move. The first day I wore them to work. Working a 10-hour shift in a restaurant. No issues. Then on the second day, my arches were aching and the balls of feet were burning. The third day I used my z- coil inserts and that did not help. I cannot even wear these shoes as intended for work. I will reach out to customer service to see if they are returnable. After reading reviews from other customers who use them for warehouse work, and spending $140.00 for these shoes I was hoping for some kind of relief. FYI, I only used them for 2 days.

I was very excited to get my shoes. I thought that I was getting shoes that were comfortable and would not hurt me feet. I was wrong. These shoes not only hurt my feet but my knees and toes. They were a great fit but hurt to the point that I wanted to cry. What a waste of money!

They fit true to size. I’m a size 5. They are nice and comfy. But the top of my feet hurt just because I have to tie them pretty good.
