Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Vista Energy Mid (Comp Toe)

This is my second pair of Ken safety toe boots, I absolutely love them! The super roomy toe box is awesome and the fit is perfect. I'm on my feet for 10+ hours a day and these have never made me even think about my feet...

Very comfortable and fits well

The left shoe gives me a a horrible recurring blister. Other than that they're fine.

I got the size wide and its still a bit too narrow. Overall a good boot.

This is the exact same boot in as men's category. I bought them as my first pair, after two years, is wearing out. Even the laces are very robust as the original pair is still good. Truly, a well-made boot.

Hard to get on, easier as wear more. Loose feel inside, Would like more tighter feel on top and more arch support.

Maybe I got a defective pair -- at first tryon they seemed comfortable, but I was a little concerned it felt like the toe edge was higher than the base of the foot, but it felt very padded. Wore them to work and realized they are just concave in the middle. I've never had issues with foot cramping, and I teach 8 cardio fitness classes a week, but after a half day of warehouse work, I was almost in tears. Can't return them. Maybe I'll try an arch support. Back to my trusty Keen hiking boots for work for now until I find something else.

They were final sale so I figured I was stuck with them. But these are truly the worst Keen purchase I have made

Perfect size

Comfy shoe with great slip resistance. Bought them for ankle support and they do the job well. Got half a size down from my normal size as recommended and they fit great, snug but not uncomfortable.

Ive tried a lot of mid ankle boots, and these are the most comfortable Ive found. They fit snugly and provide the ankle support but still give you good range of motion. The sole is excellent as well. Good arch support and heel-to-toe transition is just what you want. There is one downside the if youve got wide feet. And its kind of a big one. The toe box is just not wide enough, even with the 2E wide version. With most shoes it would be fine, but since they are the composite toe, this can become a real issue. I went up a full size (on top of getting the 2E) just to try to avoid the rubbing on my big toe. Its mostly manageable now, but with a full size bigger they are a little clunky. And I still get a bit of contact that causes a little pain from time to time despite the callous that has built up. Ive tried several other safety toe shoes (including many of the keen shoes) and none of them in my opinion are nearly as good as the vista energy mid, but I did find that the Sparta aluminum toe shoes, while much less comfortable overall, do have a really nice wide toe box, unlike the vista energy. If Keen were to incorporate that one feature into these shoes, I think we could start talking about the best mid ankle safety toe boot out there. Overall, if not for the slightly too narrow toe box, these mid ankle boots would be near perfect (and likely are for those with narrow feet.) Solid work Keen!

I work in an HVAC shop and I'm constantly on my feet. These are super comfortable, I just wished these lasted me longer than 6 months. The soles of the shoe started separating on both shoes near the toe.

I wear them all day at work- they are light weight and comfortable!
