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. I prefer brown shoes over black and while I like a low cut, the massive gaps […]
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. There was clearly something very different about the design, but wearing a size 13, they didn’t have one for me to try on the spot. Fortunately, a […]
KEEN Utility St. Paul Work Boots Manage Moisture in Style KEEN Utility St. Paul work boots are waterproof with a carbon fiber toe and 6″ tall. That says a lot, but it doesn’t say everything you really need to know before dropping $190 on a pair. With the KEEN Utility Dover setting a new standard […]
Secure Fit and Outstanding Comfort on Hard Surfaces Make the KEEN Utility Dover a Winner I’m in a neverending search for the perfect work boot.

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 tour to the KEEN Utility factory in Portland, Oregon allowed us to 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 […]
If you happened to catch the last time I covered something footwear-related, you’ll remember that I have pretty strong feelings about ill-fitting, poorly made work boots. Without getting back on my soapbox, I would rather cut off my own feet than torture myself by standing around in some $30 Walmart Specials. So when I was […]
Like every other tradesman on Earth, I’m on my feet all day. And it’s not as if I’m walking around on soft carpet or rubberized floors, either.
