Work in Amazon Warehouse. FINALLY a steel toe that doesn't beat up my feet. I've tried 8 different pairs before finding KEEN. With every other shoe my toes were sore by day's end. Keen is the only show that doesn't beat up my toes. They are light weight and not fatiguing. Looks, well Meh, they work for steel toes. Somehow the steel is padded so if you do hit it, doesn't hurt like other shoes. Insert is decent, not fantastic. Overall these are a MUST buy.

I was actually blown away with these. I'm on my third day at work with these and almost no pain. Make sure you were somewhat thick/cushioned socks to get a a better fit. Its roomy around the middle of your foot so you never feel squeezed. The style is pretty basic and inoffensive. You could almost wear this with anything.

I was a little skeptical, with a lot of negative reviews. These shoes exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable, light and don’t even know they have a hard toe.

I had a pair of the earlier Sparta and wore them for several years. I like these even more. They don't have the yellow name on the side, they grayed it out. Nice styling. I'm always looking for the safety shoes that don't look like safety shoes and these are close.

Keen is perfect for size 11.5 feet that need a wide toe box. Keen shoes never smash your toes together. Durable edging.

Ordered wide to make sure I had enough toe room and sure glad I did. Fits perfectly. Lightweight so it’s good for those long work days. Slip resistance is good, almost very good.

After trying the keen Reno KBF, multiple Reebok's while picking for Amazon. None would work. from hot spots(pre blister) to just completely destroying my feet. These are a major home run. These are now the second Keen's to be able to be worn day one. And feel like a dream. Day one I was able to land 88th in the nation with these bad boys on. The cushion is second to none. And the shoe almost springs your step. Making the rebound of the step much easier on the feet and legs. I've never had a shoe that agyer 8 hours I didn't have feet pain. Amazon employees need to stop sleeping on this line.

Haven’t worn these at work but my initial impressions are that these are excellent shoes; just pulling them out of the box I was impressed with how lightweight they are (compared to my other safety toe sneakers). Sizing is perfect and I need wide toe box even though my upper foot is narrow and these are brilliantly designed. The sole is also flexible and trying them on in our home they feel great. I’ve tried many many pairs of safety shoes (Zappos knows I’ve sent some back for sure when they didn’t fit and kudos to them for their legendary service). I’ve had to wear safety shoes going on 27 years of long shifts with much walking and worse, standing, on the hardest industrial concrete floors imaginable. Like I said haven’t worn these at work but have no reason to believe that these won’t be stellar, just based on how much better they feel than all the others I’ve tried.

The most comfortable steel toe shoe you can buy. Great fit all day comfort. I added an insert, but the one it comes with is fine too. After a year, it is just starting to wear on the inside right at the heel, from slipping it on and off. Bottom still has years left of wear left. I always buy 1/2 size big. Would buy again.

Very Comfortable. Stock laces could be a bit longer and get untied frequently but that's easily fixed.

I had a hard time finding a comfortable safety shoe that is slip resistant with a toe cap that is also light weight and wide. So far these have checked all the boxes and I’m extremely happy.

Shoes are what was expected. Only item would be to have a more comfortable insert for comfort. Have to purchase additionally.

By far the most comfortable safety shoes I have ever worn. As others have said, replacing the insoles with a Keen K10 was a great improvement.

These shoes are amazing. This is my second pair. Great comfort and wide toe box. I work at an Amazon warehouse and I’m always on my feet. I’ve been working for Amazon for 5 years and these are the best safety shoes I’ve used over the years.

I bought a pair last year. It’s really nice, comfortable. I changed shoelaces It looks more better. This is my second pair. Very sporty, easy to walk during the work or you can wear wherever you go. Very comfortable. Absolutely loved it.
