Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Sparta II (Alloy Toe)

Work in Amazon Warehouse. FINALLY a steel toe that doesn't beat up my feet. I've tried 8 different pairs before finding KEEN. With every other shoe my toes were sore by day's end. Keen is the only show that doesn't beat up my toes. They are light weight and not fatiguing. Looks, well Meh, they work for steel toes. Somehow the steel is padded so if you do hit it, doesn't hurt like other shoes. Insert is decent, not fantastic. Overall these are a MUST buy.

I was actually blown away with these. I'm on my third day at work with these and almost no pain. Make sure you were somewhat thick/cushioned socks to get a a better fit. Its roomy around the middle of your foot so you never feel squeezed. The style is pretty basic and inoffensive. You could almost wear this with anything.

I was a little skeptical, with a lot of negative reviews. These shoes exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable, light and don’t even know they have a hard toe.

I had a pair of the earlier Sparta and wore them for several years. I like these even more. They don't have the yellow name on the side, they grayed it out. Nice styling. I'm always looking for the safety shoes that don't look like safety shoes and these are close.

Keen is perfect for size 11.5 feet that need a wide toe box. Keen shoes never smash your toes together. Durable edging.

After trying the keen Reno KBF, multiple Reebok's while picking for Amazon. None would work. from hot spots(pre blister) to just completely destroying my feet. These are a major home run. These are now the second Keen's to be able to be worn day one. And feel like a dream. Day one I was able to land 88th in the nation with these bad boys on. The cushion is second to none. And the shoe almost springs your step. Making the rebound of the step much easier on the feet and legs. I've never had a shoe that agyer 8 hours I didn't have feet pain. Amazon employees need to stop sleeping on this line.

Ordered wide to make sure I had enough toe room and sure glad I did. Fits perfectly. Lightweight so it’s good for those long work days. Slip resistance is good, almost very good.

THE BEST! Out of 6 pairs of steel toe shoes I’ve gotten, these are by far the most comfortable of all. I got men’s EE and also got 1/2 bigger, the toe box is perfect and roomy. Not the best looking shoe but I’m on my feet at work for 8 hrs everyday and my feet don’t hurt at all. Will definitely buy these again next time.

These are the most comfortable safety toe shoes I’ve ever worn. I’ve spent over 25 years walking and standing on hard industrial concrete floors so I really appreciate comfortable footwear. They breathe good and are lightweight but the most impressive thing about these is the toe room/toebox. Finally there are safety shoes that don’t force your feet into a point. These are shoes are brilliant, foot shaped, lightweight, agile safety shoes and even relatively flexible with enough cushioning and support to keep your feet comfortable through the work day. As for anyone who critiques these for “durability”, these are sneakers, SNEAKERS, with safety toes, made with light breathable knit material and other lightweight material. They are made for using in situations where sneakers would be appropriate but safety toes are mandatory. I question the general logic of anyone who thinks these shoes are made for situations where a more substantial footwear is necessary. They aren’t made for kicking things around and walking around in jagged debris, nor are they made for wearing in/around puddles of motor oil and transmission fluid. I would guess most reviews critical of durability would be people who wear them in inappropriate conditions.

This is my second pair of the same shoes, of all the Keen shoes I've owned in the last fifteen years they are by far the most comfortable work shoe I've ever had. The cushioned soles make it so I can stand in them all day without any issues or discomfort, I love them!

This is truly the most comfortable safety shoe I have worn. All day support with no problem, only wish is this was water proof...

Zappos is alwasy quick and efficient with shipping their products and for my size I have a good amount of variety.

i think these shoes are my to go to brand for now on. i have wide feet and i found the perfect shoes. my feet have never felt so much happiest in all the steel toes shoes i have worn. im always choosing Keen wides.

Actually the best work shoes I’ve ever had. For the past two years I’ve ordered Puma but they are just too big and bulky so I had to reorder this year and go back to what’s worked best. I haven’t worn the ones I ordered earlier this month, just not going to work! We are on the go for 5 hours straight and the others just make my feet and legs hurt!

I’m an Amazon associate and I work in the warehouse. I spend a lot of time on my feet. I’ve worked for Amazon 4 years and these are the best safety shoes I ordered. They are comfortable and flexible out of the box. Very lightweight too.

Haven’t worn these at work but my initial impressions are that these are excellent shoes; just pulling them out of the box I was impressed with how lightweight they are (compared to my other safety toe sneakers). Sizing is perfect and I need wide toe box even though my upper foot is narrow and these are brilliantly designed. The sole is also flexible and trying them on in our home they feel great. I’ve tried many many pairs of safety shoes (Zappos knows I’ve sent some back for sure when they didn’t fit and kudos to them for their legendary service). I’ve had to wear safety shoes going on 27 years of long shifts with much walking and worse, standing, on the hardest industrial concrete floors imaginable. Like I said haven’t worn these at work but have no reason to believe that these won’t be stellar, just based on how much better they feel than all the others I’ve tried.

Good shoe .

The most comfortable steel toe shoe you can buy. Great fit all day comfort. I added an insert, but the one it comes with is fine too. After a year, it is just starting to wear on the inside right at the heel, from slipping it on and off. Bottom still has years left of wear left. I always buy 1/2 size big. Would buy again.

I got a 10. It was too big. I got a 9 1/2, and it’s still roomy in the toe box, but good everywhere else. There isn’t as much heel cushion as I’d like. It had a ‘steel toe’ box which is nice. Overall, they are OK, but not my favorite.

I read the reviews for these shoes before I bought them and couldn’t believe how true their statements were. A very light shoe with a comfortable fit. I would just recommend an insole for an even more comfortable fit.

My toes hurt after a 10 shift,need more cushion or get better insoles my side of the toe keeps hitting the steel toe not sure if it because shoes home a little bigger
