Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Pittsburgh Soft Toe

These boots are the best work boot that I have ever owned. Just like every pair of Keens that I own they are super comfortable from the second you slip them on and somehow only get more comfortable every hour that you wear them. I wear them around the farm for general farm work, to cut firewood, to do landscaping and yard work. I also use them for short hikes of 3-4 miles through pretty rugged terrain and they double as pretty competent hiking boots. They are very durable and very water proof. I have worked for hours in tall, soaking wet grass and in light snow and my socks are bone dry when I take the boots off. They are very supportive and have great traction in all conditions. A great product and worth the higher price as compared to some competing boots.

Very comfortable and sturdy. Didn't need any time at all to break them. Felt very true to size, I would suggest a medium to a thick pair of socks, when going for a long hike, it will help prevent friction and consequently blisters.

Boots on the ground for over 30 days, they are great offered some correction needed to "heal a knee." My chiropractor loved the way they position my feet and legs, great shoes!

Took me a few tries to get the sizes right, but Zappos was awesome, and sent me multiple sizes at once. These boots are fantastic. The fit is great and required zero break-in time. They are very well made. Almost too nice to ruin in the winter yuck! Do not expect the shoe size to be an actual measurement. I have a 10.5" foot (measured), and ended up with a 9.5" boot (perfect fit).

These are by far the most comfortable boots I've owned. 8 plus hours on my feet a day on concrete and no problems. Great ankle support, great arch support.

I have had these for a month now, just wearing them to work and around town. Very comfortable so far, no real break-in period needed. I wanted a sturdy waterproof boot with good ankle support for rough portages carrying heavy loads in the Boundary Waters and Quetico wilderness canoe areas. Originally ordered the Oregon PCT in black 9.5 medium as the brown had gaudy orange accents. Didn't really want black ones either. They run small so I needed to send them in for a 10 and when I complained about the color, the very helpful lady said to look at the Pittsburg soft toe which is the same boot in a nice brown with green accents and the bonus of oil and slip resistant soles for at work! These boots run small, so order 1/2 size bigger. Very happy so far and this one was on sale! Keens rock! I also have the Arroyos and will be purchasing the Cleveland steel toes. Just bought a pair of Targhees for my daughter.

They were comfortable right out of the box. However, they lasted 10 months and were not even worn everyday. The tread wore out, and the sole split before the laces wore out. I am not sure if 10 months is a normal lifespan for Keens.

Did quite a bit of research on these and they came out highly rated as a work boot. They are the most comfortable boot I have worn on the job but the Gore-Tex makes my feet sweat and the soles are demolished after only 2 months on the job. Too bad, we could have had a nice life together.

I bought these for my husband and he loved them. No breaking in period, they worked perfect right out of the box. Highly recommend.

Finally after many shoe problems I found these! Ty fit snug, which kind of worried me, only because I never had good fitting shoes until now! After I broke them in cautiously and slowly, I found them too be very good shoes. But being the skeptic I am I still was wondering whether they would wear properly. They feel better now than when I first got them! I just got home from a 10 hour day in the snow and my feet were dry and warm! This is a first for me socks and dry feet dry! Thank you, Keen!

7 months of hard use and I still love putting them them on, each day begins with a hike of at least three miles, they feel great. Nope I can find a winter boot as comfortable.

This is the most comfortable boot I have worn so far. I plan to buy the steel toe version next.

Keen shoes/sandals/boots are all extremely comfortable, durable and true to size. I don't mind spending extra when I get a great product like this.

Shoe is great. I'm difficult to fit and this shoe fits like a glove. It's really is waterproof as well. I went for a five mile walk one day in the snow and slush, and my feet stayed dry - and I had no rubbing or blistering from the shoes. Buy them.

Good wide footed, good support.

These felt great straight from the box. I did swap out the removable Keen insert and replace with a different pair but that’s a personal preference and in no way reflects badly on these boots. Keen usually works for me and these did not disappoint

This is my first pair of Keen's and they will not be the last. I have extremely flat feet so I needed a quality solid shoe with good arch support to use with my orthodontic insert I must wear with all my shoes. These fit perfectly out of the box (I ordered 1/2 size larger) and are extremely comfortable. I have hiked approximately 20 miles since I got them and have had no problems with either my feet or the shoes. I highly recommend this quality shoe for all types of walking and light to moderate hiking because of the excellent arch support and solid construction. By the way, the transaction with Zappos went flawlessly as usual.

My husband has been wearing these boots for about a month and loves them. He works outside and finds them comfortable to wear all day. They seem to be well made and he was particular about the lacing system when we ordered them, having had other boots in the past where the lacing "hooks" eventually pulled out of the boot. These boots are fine in that respect. He did have to order a 1/2 size up from his regular size. He has a wide and relatively flat foot. They aren't cheap, but if you spend many hours working outside on your feet, they are probably worth the investment; especially since they may outlast a couple pair of cheaper boots.

These are my first boots in 16 years that have been totally waterproof without sealants. I work at a wastewater plant and constantly get boots wet. There is always algae and wet areas and these provide fantastic traction. The liner does cause foot sweating but not that much after an eight hour shift, and they are so comfortable and light compared to other work boots.

I ordered these for my husband for work. When he got them he wore them all day. No break in was needed. I ordered his regular size. talked him into these because I am on my second pair of Keen shoes that I work in and we are very happy. Zappos you are awesome, thank you for your wonderful site!

Best boots I've had. Quite stiff but not a problem.

Good boot

Very stylish work boots. I love them. I haven't tried it in the snow yet but it kept my feet dry during the rain. Gotta get another pair because I stunk these up otherwise they're in great shape. I had them for about 3 months and wear them everyday all the time. I will definitely try their other boots in the future. I will say they are heavy if you don't like heavy boots but they have great grip. You will not slip.

very satisfied, excellent product! right out of box comfort and breaks in easy! love this style. will purchase again
