mens Cincinnati 8” Waterproof Composite Toe Wedge

Pros: Comfortable Supportive Waterproof Durable (for the most part) Grippy tread Wedge sole Composite toe Wide-ish standard size Roomy toe box Cons: Leather over the toe is not abrasion resistant Soles eventually separated at the toe This is my second pair of Keen Cincinnati composite toe boots. I bought my first pair (6” model) approaching 5 years ago. Admittedly I used them well past their prime, but they are still extremely comfortable and supportive. I’ve bought 3 other pairs of boots during that time, the others fell short in comfort and durability, and each time I went back to these boots. On average I have chosen to use these boots probably 70% of the time, even as they got old. I work in a smaller ship yard in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of steel and aluminum structure to climb around and work on, and a fair amount of rain to work in. The wedge soles are stable provide heaps of grip even on angle iron and piping, coupled with the 6” ankle. My new pair is the 8” boot which is even more supportive. The old boots are still effectively waterproof, though I imagine if I stepped in ankle deep water my feet wouldn’t be completely dry any longer. The boots are lined so bumps and small impacts aren’t as uncomfortable as unlined ones and the composite toe keeps them light(er than steel toes). Like other Keens the toe box is roomy and doesn’t pinch as you walk. The stock insole is quite good as well. I never had to replace them for reasons other than foot funk prevention. As for problems I’ve had, the soft leather over the comp toe wore very quickly when kneeling on grit-blasted aluminum. Toe protection is a must, which detracts from the style of the boot. But it’s work, not a fashion show. After 2 years or so, the sole on the toe of the right boot started to separate. I shoe-goo’d it back down and it lasted another almost two years.

These boots are definitely comfortable if you are on your feet all day. The water proof ones are very well insulated so they will make your feet sweat if you are working in a hot environment so heads up.

I recently purchased the KEEN Utility Men's Cincinnati 8-inch Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boots and have found them to be a dependable and comfortable choice for my work needs. These work boots offer a blend of functionality, durability, and comfort that has impressed me. The waterproof feature of these boots has been particularly useful, keeping my feet dry and comfortable even in wet and rainy conditions. The composite toe offers protection without the added weight of traditional steel-toed boots, making them comfortable to wear throughout the day. The cushioned footbed and supportive midsole provide excellent comfort and shock absorption, reducing foot fatigue during long work shifts. The boots are lightweight yet sturdy, offering both protection and flexibility for various work environments. While I appreciate the overall performance of these work boots, I have found that the sizing runs slightly large, so I recommend sizing down for a better fit. Overall, the KEEN Utility Men's Cincinnati Work Boots have proven to be a reliable and comfortable option for demanding work environments.

Has held up great, I have had two pair over the last couple years, still using both, one is due to be resoled (my fault, abuse.) but otherwise going strong. This is the most comfortable work boot I have tried and I have had many. Very supportive but have plenty of cushioning in the sole. I feel as good at the end of the day with these as I do with my running shoes. I will be buying these again when the time comes.

I'm a welder and fabricator who is on his feet all day every day on concrete floors on the production line. I've had Thorogood, Wolverine, Herman Survivors (Walmart brand) and many more. I always heard Keen was a solid brand with quality products so I spent the $200 on these expecting at least a year of daily wear. They didn't make it 5 weeks before the outsole started falling apart. I don't know what it's made of but it might be wet toilet paper and jello....there are chunks missing and last week the tip of the outsole at the toe box started to peel back and the next day ripped off so now there's just a piece of the outsole missing. The uppers are in the condition most of my boots are at this point of their life and they are still comfortable. Unfortunately they won't make it much longer and I'll never waste money on any Keen products again. Herman Survivors from Walmart last longer than these and they're $120 cheaper.

My husband loves these boots he works outside in all types of weather 10/10 recommend

These boots are comfortable but the outer sole is falling apart. I bought them May 1st and the outside is junk now after 4.5 months.

Purchased for my husband. He said "heavy and sole at tip toe comes apart easy". The fit was perfect and the look was exactly like the picture.

Love these boots ,they keep my feet dry and my ankles supported. From day one my feet felt great and there was no sore feet or breaking them in.

I’m in construction so comfort is huge. These boots are very comfortable and well made.

Like how it protects my feet from getting wet in the mud.

Comfortable work 12 hour shifts on cement as electrician huge improvement over last boots
