Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Flint II Mid Waterproof Soft Toe

Good fit & comfortable. Easy to break in. Stylish

Need to be more wider

Fit is exactly what you expect, 12 wide fits perfect for my normal 12ee shoe size. Had not bought new Ken boots in years, but needed a little shorter, non-insulated pair for NC winter to replace the pair I bought in 2008 in MN. Shoes are very comfortable, but do feel stiffer than any of the shoes/boots bought in the past 10+ years. May just be the style of boot, but they feel like they are going take a lot longer to soften up on my feet.

They have not been tested in deeper snow conditions, or rain weather and it’s a little hard to keep the laces tight, when the top clasps have a groove for the lace to lock into because it will be harder to pull tight,although it’s understandable why they did this. Other than that the bottoms feeling amazing like my feet are sitting on soft material and I’ve discovered that there is a U shaped opening for the Achilles tendon that allows for you to utilize something called plantar flexion which allows the tendon to move inside this U groove. You will experience this allowance when you push the accelerator/brake. My other shoes didn’t provide space for the tendon. So, my tendon thanks you, Keen. I also appreciate the softer bottoms as they allow for some shock absorption during a little running.

The shoe comes apart with a little wear. Ive already got to wrap my laces around the ankle because the little bevels are broken.

This was the fourth pair of KEEN utility Flint mids I've had. The material was much stiffer and would have required breaking in which was previously not needed and the mid-sole was much harder so I'm returning them. The basic construction was good but KEEN is still using insoles which I've replaced in each pair since they afford minimal padding.

I like the look. They are definitely waterproof. But, not very comfortable.

the size is bigger than in description

Seemed to be about a 1/2 size too small especially wearing thicker socks. Planning to get the same boot in a 91/2

These are the second pair I've tried. I started with my usual size 11.5 but knew right away when I tried them on that they were way too small. I then ordered these size 12 but they are still too tight on sides. I tried on some Keen's years ago in a store but all they had were E so I thought that EE might work but still too tight. Maybe it's just my foot, but I can't seem to wear KEENs. Too bad because people I know that wear them, love them.

ran small and narrow,

These are not comfortable at all. There is 2 parts on each shoe that rubs the top of my foot so bad. Its not something that needs to be broken in. Its extra material that hurts really bad. I wore them for 1 day and had terrible pain. I definetly should have kept the other pair I ordered first

Wasnt true to size comfortable though

Some Keens fit me and feel great, but lately others are inconsistent even within the same pair. The pair I got the right foot was fine, the left was too narrow. Quality control? Frustrating.

They supposed be waterproof, but in a rainy day. My feet get so wet.. love the style, but I ordered them, as de waterproof description.

The toes of the boots the lining was not secure. So it rubbed on my toes.

The 11.5 felt no different than the size 11.
