  • Not 100 % comfortable
Size: 10.5 X-Wide Color: Dark Earth/Black
There is a stiff component within the ankle area that rubs just below the outer ankle joint … blisters the area ! … they are , so far, very water proof ! , the foot bed is very thin under the toe pad area (1/4”) but they are pretty comfortable w/exception of the mentioned ankle area … ones I got state “made in USA” “Portland oregon “ … which it’s nice to know there’s still some América existing there , of note : it’s only my left ankle that was effected so poss a manu. Defect …the boots are on the north slope of Alaska now ,where I work , and I’m not going to bother trying to send back …I’m happy so far.. oh by the way STAY AWAy from the thurogood boot ..they are absolute junk !!!!

  • Best keen boots I have owned
Size: 11 Color: Dark Earth/Black
I’ve been buying Keen boots for about 20 years. These are the best I have owned so far. I’ve been wearing them daily at work for 2 months. Comfortable, waterproof, excellent ankle support, they lace up easily. I hope keen doesn’t discontinue this boot because that has happened to me before. I’m considering buying another pair just in case they stop making this version. I just want a light weight solid leather waterproof boot with safety toe. I don’t want a dumb heavy thick boot with a bunch of glorified pieces and colors added to the exterior. ... show more

  • Great boots, but...
Size: 10.5 Color: Dark Earth/Black
These are good quality boots. I'm only giving 4 stars because they hurt my toe. Many other boots do the same, so I can only blame my toe.

  • Love love love these boots!
Size: 12 X-Wide Color: Dark Earth/Black
I have been searching for a quality boot that could stand up to my demands. This is that boot. ARCH support & comfort lead the way! I am hard on boots and finding a comfortable boot has been a huge challenge for me over the last 2 years. Then I realized that I was wearing KEEN boots that were 3 years old. Man, they used to be very comfortable. So I ordered these and I couldn't be happier. ... show more

  • Great boots
Size: 13 X-Wide Color: Dark Earth/Black
My old boots were red wing king toes for the last 20 years but the have gone up in price over the years and haven't been happy with the high price tag. These boot came in at about half the price and so far just as quality of a boot as my old ones
