Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Cincinnati 90 Degree 6" Waterproof (Comp Toe)

First time Keener: Took a while to break in. Hope they last a year. First time wearing moccasins toe style, I hope the stitches hold up to cement.

Good boot: Comfortable right out of box. Boot might run a little big, possibly due to oversized toe box area, but otherwise no complaints. Didn't have to test the 30 day warranty.

Comfortable, not waterproof. By far, one of the most comfortable boots I have ever put on my feet. The only downside is that they did not stay waterproof for long even with putting a good waterproofing treatment on them. Great for dry days, but I don't wear them on wet days.

Seem ok kinda stiff and seem clunky: I don't know how to describe it but they are not too big but are kinda clunky. I catch my feet on things with them is the best way I can describe them. They are ok I guess. Maybe seem a little wide.

Poor fit: Not all models of keen boots fit the. Same. If you purchase one size, another model may not fit you in the same size.

Need 4E options: Quality looks good. I returned due to wide option not being wide enough.

The comfort is top of: The comfort is top of line!

Comfortable but not a work boot. I enjoy the comfort however after 2 days of work the stitching on both toes began to unravel. I will wear them until the stitching completely gives out but will not buy another pair.

Heel destroyer: Right boot was awesome. Left boot tore apart my heel on the inside. I bled through the leather. Something is wrong with this boot heel. I will NEVER ever buy another Keen work boot. Blister was about two inches round. 11EE. Threw them in the trash. It's time worn about 6 hours. Waste of 200 bucks.

Just ok: I thought they wood just as comfortable as the ones without the heel but was not to be.

They're ok: They're pretty heavy and it's been 2 weeks of 15k steps daily average at work with these and they still aren't broke in yet. Pretty comfortable tho. I've had better and worse boots for sure. I got tired of trying boots on so I took a chance and ordered these online without trying them on(based on other reviews). They're definitely decent but I don't think I'll get these ones again. I like a lighter boot since I'm doing a good bit of walking at work in them.

Used to be better: Let me start off by saying I love keen work boots and will continue to buy them, but it just won't be this model anymore. My last pair were the flat soled model and I loved them, but they seemed to be made of better materials. Even though the soles eventually separated I had them resoled and still wear them because of the quality uppers. Now on to the current pair, the leather does not seem to be the same quality as after 7 months they are starting to actually tear away from the soles. Also the stitching on the mock toe is starting to come undone. I will say I am tough on boots with my work and they are very comfortable for all day work, but was just hoping for more wear out of these considering the soles still have plenty of life on them.

Carbon toe box narrow: First pair of the carbon toe with the heal. I own these boots in a soft toe without the heal, and other keens with composite toes. I buy wide boots, this toe box is narrower for some reason in width and in height. It digs when walking in the top of my big toe and sides of my feet. After a few hours of work I can't wait to remove them.

Less comfortable than previous years: I've been buying these Cincinnati boots in various colors for over 3 years. I couldn't help but notice that these are not as comfortable as I expected. Great product, but I'm wondering if they have changed over the years... resulting in less comfort. I bought the exact size I always buy. I will also add that the laces are thinner and less robust. -Taylor

90* heel: Good looking boot. I only have worn them a few times at this point. A little disappointed on first impression of comfort. I may have just had high expectations. They will probably be fine after some break in time.

Split soles in less than a year. I bought these in December of 2024 thinking these would be an improvement in choice of timberlands which I had been using over the past 5 years. The sole split in less than a year. Landscaping in Florida is the single purpose use of these boots - wet in the morning, hot in the afternoon, rain during the summer.

Slippery When Wet: I will start with the bad news, the soles are terribly slippery when wet, stepping into a building with a hard floor like tile or concrete can be absolutely dangerous when the shoe soles are wet. I just almost ended up on my tail Christmas Night 2024 having walked from my car in the rain and stepping into a local restaurant onto a hard tile floor, my lower back muscles are hurting from the slipping but I managed to stay upright and will be OK. I wear Thorogood boots and I do not have issues with them being slippery when wet or oily. These shoes have 1 pair of speed lace hooks at the very top of each shoe, there should be 3 pair of speed lace hooks, whoever engineered these shoes didn't have the knowledge of a working man's wants or needs. Another complaint is the heal is to low, Keen needs to take a close look at Thorogood Union Made boots like the American legacy series with the Vibram soles or the Moc Toes with the Thorogood soles, the heal is right for walking and climbing ladders, the Keen soles are dangerous. The good, these shoes are light and comfortable. I wanted black moccasin toe waterproof boots with safety toes and couldn't get them from Thorogood so I was happy to try Keen, I will probably keep them and send them to a cobbler for speed lace hooks in the top 6 eyelets and a resole with Vibram soles. . The custom work will double the cost of my new Keen shoes but I think they will suite my needs better than the way Keen built them, hopefully they will last long enough to get my monies worth out of them.

Not very tough but very comfortable: I've been a Keen only guy for 20-ish years. I'm ordering a different pair of keens as I write this. My boots usually last about a year of hard hard use. These barely made it 6 months. They are comfortable as heck just no where as durable as boots with the toe covered.

Non slip dorsnt work: The non slip portion of the shoe isn't very effective, I work in a kitchen buying these hoping for a sturdy pair of non slip shoes, they are sturdy and will last me a while I'm sure but I'm constantly sliding around which isn't a good look for them. And this is a few weeks after buying them so I've worn them in, they fit well and I appreciate they have wide sizes

Like flat sole more: I like the Keen Cincinnati a lot but I bought the boot with a heel this time instead of the flat sole. The boots were hurting my feet so bad I switched back over to my old flat sole Cincinnati's today.

Boots were heavy and uncomfortable. Boots were heavy and uncomfortable. Customer service wasn't great either. Still waiting for my refund
