Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Kenton Comp Toe

These are great work shoes and have lasted well longer than my normal running shoes in my auto shop. The non slip sole is great and the carbon toe has come in handy plenty of times. Two things that are to note however are the stock insole and the break in period. The stock insoles were terrible and hurt my feet quickly, so I switched them out for some orthotic style ones and have made them perfectly comfortable for 10+ hour days. The break in period is not what I was expecting; these are work boots disguised as shoes, and they need to be broken in as such. The area where the carbon toe ends and the soft fabric takes over creates a large crease and can cause some discomfort initially. After about a week or two and replacing the insoles, these things are stout and very comfortable. I've had these 8+ months and have no appearance of stopping soon. Great shoe with some caveats, will definitely buy again when these wear out, just don't know how long that will be!

This is my 5th pair of Keen footwear, my 4th with a safety toe. All my prior Keens were very comfortable and easy to wear all day. This pair however is one of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. I ordered the same size as I have worn previously, but there is something about these shoes that causes them to rub the top of my foot wrong when my foot bends. With my foot flat, the shoe is acceptable (it could use some more padding on the sole i n my opinion), however the shoe bends WAY pas the toe line and closer to the mid point of the top of my foot, which is really uncomfortable and somewhat irritating. If I hadn't thrown the box away right away, I would have returned them. Because of this, I wore them a few more days to try to break them in, which is something I've never had to do with Keens. After wearing them a few days, the discomfort from the odd bend in the top is still there, but tolerable. I plan on getting different footwear for work in few months, so I'll put up with these for now. They do look great though.

Good fit

Right on time for the conditions

These gave me the firm support I was seeking. Would have liked a bit more elevation in the heel but very comfortable.

Great for casual wear with jeans. I did not see one without the hard toe, might have gone that way. I recommend them.

Very comfortable

Feels great I like them.

Very comfortable for all day wear. On my feet all day in warehouse receiving position and feet are never sore. Bought for the added security of composite toe guard.

These felt good out of the box. The Keen shoes are sized just like the Carolina brand shoes. My old Carolinas were 11. 5 2E and I bought the Keen Fenton shoes with the same size. I like the grip of the sole. The shoe feels well made. I wear them all day on my feel and sometimes in my seat.

Seem to be very nice. Would have liked to know about the round feeling of the sole. I almost sent them back, but realized they were assists for long standing ( I hope). Keep up the good work.
