Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Vista Energy

Overall these are good shoes. I like how they look and they are lighter to walk around in compared to other safety shoes I've had. The only thing I don't like is my big toe constantly rubs against the shoe while walking. I did order a half size up and it seems my toes still don't have enough room for the width. If I could order these again I'd go with the wide shoes. Other than that, these shoes are comfortable for the rest of my feet

I got a 1/2 size bigger and they were still a little snugg.

I get my work shoes a half size larger and wear thick socks and they fit great.

Everything about this shoe ticked off many boxes for me: the wide width, the price, the color. The one thing I was disapointed with is the choice of shoelace. Given that these are advertised as "utility" shoes, the choice of lace material is not aligned with utilitarian use. I feel they are flimsy and wont last very long. A more thick and sturdier lace wouldve been more appropriate and in a more fun color. My immediate reaction to this shoe was that they looked like a geriatric shoe. So, I took the laces off an old pair of Keen shoes (that were spent) and swapped them out. To me, they look 100% better. Think about changing up the choice of lace material and color.

Great looking shoe. They look like the interior is very durable. I had a problem with my previous shoes of a different brand. They fit a little snug for me. So I’m going to have to go with something else.

It’s a good looking shoe. It looks like it would a very durable exterior and the interior. My old work shoes, different brand, interior wore out before the outside ever showed any wear and tear. What I didn’t like was this shoe was not true to size I was trying to get a half size larger to incorporate some other Inserts for my arches, but that didn’t work out. I will try them again with another half size larger and see if they work better.

Love the style, and light weight. The toe box of these shoes is narrower than the Sparta II; therefore, I need to return them.

The shoe fit a little smaller than anticipated. I have hammer toes and bunions and the shoes were bothering me and hurting my toes. I was going to get the same ones just a half size bigger but I decided to go with a different style.

There fine

The only issue with these were that they rubbed the back of my heel in the beginning. I Have noticed the longer wearing them they have stopped rubbing the back of my heel and are pretty comfortable for safety shoes. I would buy again

Cant seem to find very comfortable shoes ?

I'm reviewing these after wearing all year. I wear 9.5 N, ordered 10B (had to.. no narrows). They ended up fitting quite well even in the heel, my heel didn't slide up and down in this shoe even though it was a med. and the break in time was short. This year I tried a different brand, a reebok work boot but they didn't work for me. I exchanged for another pair of KEEN Utility Vista Energy. [different color this time :0) ]

The fit would have been perfect if I just order my regular shoe size but I just added another insert and they were great. My average steps at work for a 4 hour shit was 5-7 miles a day and my feet never hurt. They felt a lot lighter than my puma work shoes but not as pretty due to the bulk caused by the steel toe. I’d buy them again but I want to try some timberlands next. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested

Comfortable after broken in. Great looking and rugged, true to size but a little heavy.

They look good, feel pretty good for work shoes but they are pretty heavy.

This is a stylish shoe. It was comfortable in the beginning but I developed sores after 2 -3 weeks of my toes rubbing against the composite. I would recommend you purchase a half size larger and/or get some soft gel toe protectors.

they are ok

I like the style very confort shoes fit me perfectly. Light weight and confortable

Awesome shoe ! Roomy toe area. Hugs to foot. Cool.

I tried these on in the store and they felt really nice on my foot. Not hot . Fits snug . No slipping at heel. Roomy toe area.

Not comfortable for extra long shifts better suited to shifts where you can periodically sit down. If your on your toes alot they can make your feet a bit sore

The style was super cute loved the light color . I work 10hr to 12hr shifts shoe is comfortable not extremely heavy have had them since March 2021 so about 10 months of off and on uses and just recently had to add a sole insert for a little more support so with that being said I believe this was a good decision a great choice for me the shoe has lasted longer then I expected.

I waited a month to leave a properly accurate review on these shoes. I love Keen products because they’re so well made (I have a Keen backpack and handbag from the early 2000’s and they’re still in amazing condition). This is my first pair of Keen shoes however. When I first tried these on (I’m a size 9), I thought I’d have to go up a half size because my big toe rubbed on the composite toe. But after tightening the laces, they fit me perfectly. I wore them for a week before starting my new job at Amazon. For “normal” use, these felt like pillows on my feet. Also, I ride an e-scooter that doesn’t have a suspension and therefore gives a very bumpy ride over uneven terrain- while wearing these shoes riding, it felt like they absorbed quite a bit of of the shock from my ride, which is amazing. Moving on to work wear (I also purchased and use keen insoles, I believe they’re called “outdoor 20” or similar). The first few days I felt very comfortable at work. My feet did start to burn for a couple work days after that, but then it stopped (once again, I think it’s important to have these babies tightly laced!!!) My feet do love these for work and they’re extremely comfortable. The only drawback I can think of is that I’ve already torn the mesh in a few spots- but this may be on me because I tend to accidentally beat up most of my shoes, I’m klutzy like that! But all in all, I do recommend this pair, just remember to keep the laces tight, and although they come with great insoles to begin with, an insole upgrade is always advisable if you work on concrete floors.

The fit is true to and it takes a few days to break them in, the only issue i have is they make my feet stink. I work 10 hour shifts and my feet sweat not sure why as my feet don’t stink in my non work shoes. ?????
