Keen Steel-Toe Work Boots
For job-site foot protection, check out these comfortable boots.
Steel-toe boots: Nobody likes them, but they sure protect your feet. These are among the most comfortable steel-toes I’ve ever worn. This is the Pittsburgh model, although they come in dozens of styles and colors, including some that are made in America. If you have narrow feet, these run a little wide, but aside from that, the sizing seems pretty good. And they seem well–made. If you need some steel-toe work boots, I would definitely check these out.

Very stiff sole, I took my pair back as I have worn far more comfortable boots. I have the same style boot from Keen for leisure, they're great however
Those things are hilarious. Like something you'd see a Dr. Who extra wearing. "Style"? How in the world is that important in a steel toe worksite? I wear my Georgia Giants until they are no more and they sure don't look stylish at that point. I walk in them, kick things into place with them, stomp on things with them, kneel on all kinds of rough surfaces with them, and bushwhack in them. But it still takes quite a while to wear them out. I'm not opposed to new materials and designs if they are functional improvements, but these just don't look all that durable. Maybe they are for supervisors or the like?
I have a different model (low cut) and I like them too, but have also had some durability problems- I don't think I'm that hard on them, but I think they're wearing out too soon- a little over a year. No problems with the laces- they're an innovative design- fat-skinny-fat-skinny, like a snake that swallowed some watermelons. I do think that helps keep them tied.
Love these boots. Super comfortable. But sadly they don’t last. In less than a year’s time, I’ve had to replace laces and one of the eyelets has torn, making it difficult to tighten. If you need a durable boot or want it to last, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
