Customer Reviews KEEN Utility Vista Energy Mid (Comp Toe)

I'm an athletic guy who often goes to work in a T and pair of athletic shorts. As such, I wanted a pair of shoes that I felt solid and matched my style. These shoes did not disappoint! I work in a warehouse for up to 10 hours a day, where I am required to stand and walk for 99% of those 10-hour shifts. I am extremely pleased with these shoes. I have a wide, flat foot, yet everything fits great. I generally wear a size 12, but will sometimes wear an 11.5 depending on the brand. I decided to go with an 11.5 WIDE since shoes with a protected toe seem to be a bit clunky from the get-go. This 11.5 WIDE is perfect. I love Keen and will buy from them again based on my experience with this shoe.

These shoes are godawful, I want to punch whoever recommended them to me in the face. First day wearing them on my 10 hour amazon warehouse shift was incredibly uncomfortable due to how the back of the shoes chafed my ankles the entire day and then there's the insole which feels like hard plastic compared to the Reeboks I was previously wearing. Halfway through my second shift of wearing them the pain in my feet was so intolerable I had to switch to the old Reeboks which are like walking on clouds compared to this trash. Would not recommend at all. Fits okay though, so if you just want a shoe that looks ugly and is uncomfortable but fits well, these are highly recommended!

The boot fits true to size. Its midsoles are made of a high cushion foam supporting and creating reduction on ground reaction forces from concrete floors, overall reducing fatigue. Has a good heel cup and stable ankle support overall creating stability at the ankle. Its lightweight does reduce fatigue otherwise created by heavier steel toe options. Fits and handles like a sneaker and the black on black is a good fit with anything. I use this boot for work but have also used it for daily errands. Amazon please make this boot available for your employees as it is not an option at this point. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommended for the person that walks a great deal or stands for > 4 hours on hard surfaces. Keen always has a pretty good mid arch support for those suffering from plantar fasciitis or have a wide foot. JF

Among my top 5 most comfortable shoes. Lightweight and comfortable.Your feet can breathe.Hope it lasts atleast 2years with heavy usage.

these are the first safety shoe i have found to be as comfortable as the basketball shoes i formerly wore. LOVING THESE KEENS!

I am a big fan of Keens shoes. The work shoes are good, as well. I did have to replace the insoles, however.

Working a 10 hour shift at Amazon these things are fantastic! Put a good pair of insoles in them and you are good to go. Highly recommended. Lighter than most keen safety shoes I’ve owned.

I'm on my feet 10 to 14 hours a day in an auto shop and these shoes are like little air pillows on my feet! I have had a compound tib-fib fracture of my ankle and these feel great! Anti slip could be a little better, but I have yet to find a pair that can do well in coolant and especially brake fluid! I will definitely be buying another pair!!!!!

I typically wear a 12-12.5 in a solid medium width. Anyone who wears a 12 comp toe may have been down the never ending path of trying to find a warehouse boot that will carry you multi-days without issues. My other brand had become torture devices I dreaded putting on. And I have tried multiple other brands with no luck. 13s are just longer, and wide are just Frankenstein boots. I think many brands just use their standard patterns and stuff a comp toe in with a think insole and call it done. WELL NOT KEEN!! Finally a comp toe wear it fits like a normal 12M. I hike and tried many hiking boots but never Keen. I had heard rumor that they have a bit bigger toe box. I think it shows in these. I almost feel like I don’t have a comp toe with these and could hike in them, plenty of wiggle room. The insole too is a nice thick one, so unlike other brands when you go to upgrade an insole the boot no longer fits, will not be an issue with these (may not need a new insole, these appear to be top shelf). They also appear to have some breathability in them too. And the arch is not like you have a golf ball in your boot like others. IMO someone actually engineered these vs. slapping something together. I have yet to try them in the warehouse and will update but right off the bat I cannot even put my other brand on after putting these on. Night and day!

If you are an Amazon employee needing COMFORT - spend the EXTRA $7 or $8 dollars, on top of your alloted $110, and get these. I got the WIDEST ones (and went up 1/2 size) and I SWEAR I didn't have to go through a 'breaking them in' phase. I was able to wear them to work straight out of the box! I will say I DID have to get some dr. scholl inserts (on my own dime - they were cheap) and have had NO ISSUES what so EVER. Do it guys. I promise you will be glad you did!!

Lightest safety toe shoe/boot I've ever found in my life. True to size good comfort I work 12 hour shifts and walk 16-20 miles per day on concrete. They breathe really good so your foot doesn't get too hot like other safety footwear. Great purchase

Purchased a second pair without any hesitation. The Keen Utility EE Wide footwear is 100% geared to support the demands of a warehouse environment (not for hiking on uneven trails). How: Efficient weight-distribution foot print is designed for extended hard-surface walking, stair-climbing, or standing while operating material handling equipment. As most know by now Keen also specializes in hiking-focused footwear; which I do have a pair. This pair is structured for Utility.

So far I chose a good one . Let's see in the future how they hold up. Last Reebok shoe was horrible so glad these are much more comfortable especially with the composite toe. Very light to weight . I do many 16 hour shifts and feel good afterward with these Keen's. Would definitely recommend as of now .

I have several pair of Keen footwear, I am very familiar with her quality but these have actually surprised me! Way lighter than I had expected, with a 12 hour workday that is greatly appreciated. Fantastic work shoe.

The shoes fit perfect. I am on my feet 10 hours a day on concrete and these are great. I like the wide toe box area as I have a bunion. They only took a couple days to stretch and break in. The material is stretchy which is what I prefer as it will expand along the sides as time goes on. Service: Wow they are fast in sending your order. Now that Amazon requires these shoe types I am happy with this purchase.

I hope KEEN reads this. Not a bad start regarding soles. I'm 65, get sore feet. Past few years have ordered boots 2 - 2 1/2 sizes too big, then put flip-flops inside for padding. Works. (Not $1 ones, they last a week. Use JC Penney/Old Navy/Walmart $5 ones) Took a chance ordering regular size, since Amazon paid for them. I walk at least 20 miles two nights a week pushing totes, tending robots. Other nights, not so much. These will work on the "other nights". Sorry. Had to switch to my "hobbit shoes" after lunch. Why can't some company just put in double padding??!! Not rocket science. Economics, I suppose. Haven't tried the "running shoe" type steel toes, because I want high tops for ankle support. Twisted ankle just walking one time, so bad I couldn't walk on it for several weeks, like 5 or 6.

Always been hard to get on. Now the way they are wearing , they are causing severe knee and hip pain.

Cheap material gave me a rash. They’re surprisingly lightweight. I needed to replace the insoles because the originals weren’t very comfy for 10-12 hour shifts. They seemed to run somewhat big/ wide but not by too much if you replace the insoles and wear thick work socks it’ll work.

Very comfortable.

I've gotten these shoes in the past, and they are always comfortable. They are the right size, and they fit perfectly

It was comfortable

Best of all.....I feel blessed to own and wear it....thank you KEEN

super comodos

These are easily the best safety shoes I’ve purchased in my 5 years at my warehouse. I’ve had Reebok, Puma, Timberland, and these blow all of those out of the water as far as comfort is concerned. If your job requires safety shoes, get these. You won’t regret it.

Perhaps for someone else, very painful for me
