Keen Utility is back with another slick work boot moving into the spring season. The Keen Utility Red Hook is a waterproof work boot featuring a carbon fiber safety toe. Of course, there’s much more to it than that. If you’ve been around Keen Utility long, you know their boots are named for cities and […]
Comfortable Keen Utility Chicago Boots Offers Several Options We had already received one pair of KEEN Utility Chicago Boots when my pair arrived. It seems Keen was very excited to get several of our takes on this new design. I put them on with a mixture of skepticism and hope—I’ve enjoyed some Keen boots to […]
Keen Utility Atlanta II Cooler Steel Toe Work Shoes Offers Comfort and Breathability with a Safety Toe When my pair of Keen Utility Atlanta II Cooler steel toe work shoes arrived, I have to admit that I wasn’t super-enthusiastic.

Keen Utility Cincinnati Combines Styles to Make a Comfortable, Stylish Work Boot We got a brief look at Keen Utility Cincinnati work boots at World of Concrete 2020.

Plus, I need something sturdy for kickin’ when Kenny edits something snarky into my reviews. In any event, it’s time to retire my old pair of KEEN Davenport […]
It’s clear people love the idea of products manufactured in the USA. We’ve toured the DeWalt North Carolina manufacturing plant facility, the Milwaukee Greenwood Plant, and the Southwire Wire wire-making plants in Georgia. Our recent KEEN Utility factory tour took us to Portland, Oregon. It let us do something we haven’t done before: make some […]
The Keen Utility Baltimore Steel Toe Work Boot is technically a Spring 2018 initiative, but it’s hitting retailers early. Keen tells us that “the Baltimore blends classic work boot style with rugged construction and best-in-class comfort.” Doing what we do, I have plenty of work boots to choose from, but the look is what really […]
