KEEN Utility Men's Braddock Mid Soft Toe Waterproof Work Boot

I had a same pair (but high top) for 3 years and enjoyed them a great deal, then one winter they had a catastrophic failure. I took a chance and bought these almost a year ago now and love them! Great on commercial job sites, and not too hot to have on in the office.Great shoe!

They are really comfortable, took afew days to break in, had to apply some leather conditioner to soften them a bit. But overall worth the purchase!

I bought these shoes a little over a year ago to replace some other Keens I had purchased over a year prior to that. The prior pair were the Flint 2 low steel toe. Another very nice shoe which I will review on its page.I went with Keen because their shoes fit my feet so well. I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy which means I have nerve pain in both my feet but I don't have diabetes. If my feet aren't properly supported, by mid afternoon of trudging around, the soles of my feet can feel as if they have been lit on fire.I live on a small homestead farm so we have a few goats, cows, pigs and horses as well as a bunch of dogs to tend to. I have to deal with lots of 50lb bags of feed, putting up fencing, moving hay, walking on rough, sometimes muddy ground. I used to wear 5" rise boots for ankle support but my ankles have strengthened up enough to be able to get by with the low profile shoe which is a little bit cooler in this Texas summer heat. These aren't waterproof but a low shoe that's waterproof is really not offering that much protection so to me it wasn't that big a deal. They seemed to do a decent enough job of keeping my foot dry working in wet and soggy areas.I went with the soft toe in these as opposed to the steel toe. I was having problems of my socks getting destroyed by me unconsciously lifting my toes up against the steel toe. My socks and toes have fared much better with these shoes. The heavy rubber cap has done a very nice job of providing protection while being soft enough not to cause damage to my socks or toes. Because these are substantially built they are a little heavier than other shoes with mesh but still lighter than those with the steel toe.Traction has been good on all types of surfaces. I have a large wooden deck and a couple of ramps on my property that can get quite slick after they get wet. I have not had problems with these slipping out from under me.The laces are fairly good and hold a knot well but the outer sheath on one did wear through at one of the lace loops at around 8 months of nearly daily wear. I would recommend buying a second pair of laces.I have worn these shoes nearly every day and have not babied them in any way. Only thing I've done other than spray off mud from the soles and change broken laces, the uppers and soles have really held up well. They do look well worn but do not have any tears or holes. The insoles have not held up as well. Some of the cloth covering has rubbed off and they have split around the heel cup. This has effected the feel of the shoe enough to where I'm looking to either replace the insole or buy a new pair. I do not fault the manufacture of the shoe at all. Any work shoe that is used hard is going to eventually break down and wear out. Make them any tougher and they won't be comfortable. I highly recommend this shoe. Well worth the cost.

hi ist Juan.how can't I see my refund of 181 . it says it was made in jun 16 but I can't find it on my statement.I sented the shoes. z 10 that did not feed me.

This shoe is great for working in the woods or on the farm. Very water resistant and tough. Be advised that this shoe is fairly heavy for a shoe of this style.

Very nice shoe made in the USA fit was good. Would buy again.

There is a big difference in buying American made Keens vs the imported ones. The size is true and the quality is way better.

Not cheap but you get what you pay for, comfort, hard wearing and longevity.

Very good quality I supply these to my employees of small construction company. They grip well and are light

Best work shoe out there

Had to send them back. Width was ok but lenght to short. All my other foot wear is size 12.

The media could not be loaded.  I order this stuff from Nigeria to my brother house to bring to Nigeria for me.on receiving it I noticed a factory damage of one part of the shoe knowing fully well the distance of returning is nt visible.so dissatisfied and worried about not lasting the time of use

The boot is quite heavy duty in the right areas and flexible where needed.Quality thick leather upper mixed with a bit of synthetics and low cut.The toe box is wide and tall, feels nice to wiggle your toes while the boot is tied.Based on my 20+ years wearing Keen, This Braddock model is very well made and I see 3+ years of use, or 2 really good years then as a second as some do.The toe box caps are strong and large dual density, strong toe caps which will also shed water very wellThe insole is removeable and its comfy. the whole boot is comfy. Also foot in and out in mere seconds including tie up.... so easy.As you walk they don't roll real smooth like most Keen boots, they kind of have a double hit to the ground/floor. not a smooth heel contact smoothly roll up and no transition felt. I figure its the strong outer sole has a larger gap between heel and foot so this allows for a double hit instead of smooth roll.I will get used to that I hope, it's minor for the other great features of this light work boot.I highly recommend you add this boot to your collection of footwear.Size wise I found them true to size
