Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Vista Energy ESD (Comp Toe)

After 8 hours the small toes on both feet hurt due to the carbon toe rubbing on them. Still waiting for my refund.

These shoes fit very well, are lightweight, and being ESD-safe, they're perfect for shop work and light field service. And despite many reviewers saying they run too narrow, I ordered the regular width (I usually order Keens in wide) after trying on a pair at the Keen Garage and they fit just fine. The one thing, however, that will prevent me from buying another pair, is that the insoles are non-removable. The shoes already have little to no arch support, and for people who need more, you cannot remove the existing insoles in order to use more suitable ones. This has caused the outsoles to wear out on the outer edges of the heels much faster than expected, even as the rest of the show is fine. I've only had them for a year and am already thinking of replacing them with a better model. So if you have very low arches or flat feet, then these are absolutely perfect. But if you need any arch support at all, the outsoles will wear out prematurely, which is unacceptable for footwear at these prices. Please do not attach the insoles directly to the insoles of these shoes or I'll have no choice but to never buy another pair.

Feature wise? This is the most breathable lightweight safety toe shoe I've ever owned. Walking around in a leather boot versus this shoe is night and day. I feel so agile in these and I can literally feel a breeze coming through my shoe when I'm in the paint booths, its fantastic. I really love this shoe, HOWEVER, the crease at the toe will rip after 7-9 months of wearing them 40hrs/week. Luckily the 1 year warranty has been great, but I've had to submit a warranty claim more than once in my many years of repurchasing this shoe.

The carbon toe guard digs in on the left shoe.

I bought these for my husband, wanted something made in USA, happy to support Keene! He is not an effusive type but he wears them out of work as well as all day long at work (he is a safe & vault tech, spends time indoors & outdoors and in a warehouse and moving heavy safes... toe protection is a plus!). They seem to stand up well, I have not heard any complaints about wet or achy feet. No news seems to be good news. They're wearing well. They look good enough to wear for work but not so clompy that you can't wear after work too.

I work on my feet all day in the kitchen foot pain disappears after switching to my new Keens! Possibly the only work shoe Ill ever buy!

Keen has really went down hill

Got this shoe for my husband and son for work and they love it! The anti static part was a huge thing at both their jobs and the arch support of Keen shoes makes all the difference. They won't spend this much on shoes, so I got them as a gift to show them that you get what you pay for. I LOVE Keen!
