Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Vista Energy

These shoes hurt my left foot in the arch area. I have two different sized feet & had to return them. It’s very hard to buy shoes online because my feet are so bad.

I have had many Keens that I have loved, but these were like clods of steel around my feet. No give anywhere (not just the toe which I expected). No cushioning, and no arch support. They looked nice, but were not for me. Returning.

I have worn keen steel toe shows in the past. The composite toe scrapes against my big tow. Not a fan of the "tennis shoe" style. I will be going back to the old style. Its a bummer that Zappos won't take them back after worn.

Extremely painful to wesr

The size of this item is small, I do not feel comfortable

I need to send back the shoes as they are too big.

My big toe was constantly pressing on the hard toe. I was in pain after 10 minutes.

I like this shoe I like size and light weight and very comfortable shoe keen

The shoe size was definitely not “true to size” I trusted the comments which was a bad idea.

This shoe we cute and light enough for work but the insole hurt almost immediately. It was hard to keep them on. Thank God I had brought a 2nd paid off shoes with.

This shoes tight my feet. I tried them on. Very close to my toes and not wide enough. Actually my size is 9 to 9.5 width. They are not comfortable. It got narrow in the middle that squeezes my feet. No support. I am looking for comfortable, flexible and more room around my toes and more width too with steel toe required for my warehouse. I am going to order different kind of shoes I hope to find one through this website again.

The sneakers are worse than the first one. I can’t wear them to work. I need to return them too. Thanks

This shoe was too small so I could not try it out.

Keen used to have nice, wide toe boxes, to allow your toes to spread out. Unfortunately, they’ve narrowed just about all of their toe boxes in the last few years, which has made them far less comfortable, at least, for me. Worse yet, their quality control has gone way downhill. As a result, I’ve moved on to better (shoe) pastures. I recommend Altra and Hoka One One, as well as Topo Athletic brand shoes. I’m a very recent convert to all three of these brands, and I’ve never been happier. They have wider, but supportive toe boxes for proper “splay” of the bones and tendons in your feet without leaving you feeling like your toes are just flopping around.Their quality control is also MUCH better overall. Spend your hard-earned dollars - and take better care of your feet - by investing in these and similar high-quality brands. Also, if you have a store near you that specializes in running shoes (ex. “Snail’s Pace” in Southern CA), I strongly recommend taking the time to be professionally evaluated and fitted (for free) before buying new athletic shoes, regardless of your needs. I did so and ended up buying Altra shoes (“Rivera”) to wear to work all day as I walk on concrete floors, and my feet have never felt better. I also purchased a pair of their trail-running shoes (“Lone Peak 6”) to use when I work in my garden. I swapped out its standard insole, which is perfectly respectable, for a Cadence brand one, just to make the shoe perfect for what I needed to use it for. (Do NOT underestimate how beneficial the right insole can be, if you need one.) No more sore toes from crouching down among the shrubbery for me, and no more aching feet after mowing the lawn, etc. Fit Tip: Each 1/2 size up is only another 1/4” in length. That’s all, and you’d be amazed at what a difference that little 1/4” can make to your comfort after 10 hours on your feet. I wear a standard Women’s 11.5M or a Men’s 10M/D in my athletic shoes. If you typically wear Women’s shoe sizes, don’t be afraid to branch out and try the comparable Men’s sizes of the same or comparable models, especially if the Women’s athletic shoes you’re trying don’t go in half sizes above 11. Your feet will thank you.

EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE

This shoe Hurt! Before I took any steps I felt the ridge of the composition digging I to the top of my foot. I did not even get this shoe tied before I had to take it off.

The arch felt out of place and the toe box was narrow even for a wide width

They fit ok. The look is ok for what I was forced to order. The heels have rubbed bloody blisters on my heels, rough material there, very stiff. I have put in added padding to protect my heels.

The shoes hurt as soon as I put it on. I felt the composite toe diging in to the top of my foot (I have wide but fairly flat foot) I stuck my hand I side and felt a ledge of the composite no wounder it hurt so much. Sending back ASAP!

Had to get composite shoes for work and these just aren’t going to cut it. I wear 9.5 in womens and bought my size but they definitely are on the smaller side. My toes feel very cramped at the front of the shoe and the insole hurt just to try them on.

No me quedaron

The composite toe did not fully wrap around my toes. My pink toe was bumping into the outer corner of it which was very uncomfortable. I normally wear a 7 in most shoes so thatls what i ordered. They were WAY too small so i ordered an 8 and they were a good fit besides the composite tote box not wrapping far enough.

heavy

You sent me the wrong size. I ordered 7 wide

No comfortable at all Kept feeling the metal on toes
