KEEN UtilityMen's, Birmingham Low CT Waterproof Work Shoe

My husband has been wearing these to work for two full ten hour shifts. He wears a size 13 and these are definitely true to size, if not a bit larger.The shoes are comfortable and do not require a breaking in period.He has been struggling with the shoes being too loose and wishes they had regular laces, instead of the toggle style strap laces. He cannot keep them tight enough, no matter how often he tightens them. It is a minor complaint for him, overall.The composite toe is bothersome due to the weight of it, compared to the rest of the shoe design. The weights do not seem proportional. However, he appreciates the toe protection.The shoes are heavy duty, comfortable for the most part, and worthy of the brand name, Keen. The only complaints are the laces being the design they are, and the toes being heavy for the shoe.If you need to protect your toes, but do not require steel toes, these are good. They are not really suitable for construction, but maybe a lighter factory style job or foreman with a more casual dress code. My husband works in network computers, and does wear casual clothes. He moves printers & computers and has dropped equipment on his toes before. He really appreciates the toe protection in these shoes.The picture is of my husbands feet wearing the shoes, at work. As industrial as these Keen shoes may seem out of the box, they go really well with Khaki pants.Recommended.

I was dissatisfied with how fast these boots fell apart. They arrived May 13, 2022. Today 1/11/23, 8 months later and they have tears in the side, the laces broke and they just did not hold up. For the price I would expect to get at least a year out of them. The soles are fine it’s just the rest of the material that is falling apart.
