I use these shoes to walk around walmart while I work. I'm constantly dropping heavy boxes and objects on my feet due to clumzyness. In addition, I typically accidentally run my foot over with a pallet jack when im zoned out and this has helped tremendously with it not causing me pain. The shoes do feel a bit heavy after walking for a long time with them on. The laces feel like a normal material (not cheap, but not top-of-the-line). When tieing my shoes they can feel loose if you do not untie them after slipping them on and off multiple times, but retieing them will fix that. The shoes feel and have shown some durability already and I haven't notice many scratches, but there's no rips or breaks in it.Damn fine and comfortable!Great work shoe. Durable so far and didn’t hurt my feet Despite working several long days in a row right off the bat.New shoes often give you blisters if you do that. I didn’t have that problem at all.So far they seem super durable. Holding up nicely.The steel toe isn’t uncomfortable seems to properly protect the toes.Pretty solid and well made but not too heavy.This is my fourth pair of Keen work shoes. I had 2 pairs of the Albany model and a pair of the Braddocks. These are by far the most comfortable straight out of the box. The Braddocks put my feet through hell for the better part of a month to get them broken in. I couldn't even make it a full day in the Braddocks for quite a while. These Flints on the other hand have been easy on my feet. I attribute that to the design of the uppers. There isn't as much leather in the upper of the Flints as there is in the Braddocks. I work in a machine shop and spend most of my days on my feet 8+ hours. Oil and slip resistant is a big thing for me as the production floor can become quite slippery over the course of the day. Keen shoes in general have performed extremely in both aspects of oil and slip resistance.They are ugly and color match nothing.One year after purchase, the bottom tread is delaminating from shoe. Thought they would last longer than this.If you have W-I-D-E feet then these shoes might just make you do the "Happy Feet" dance. Finding standard style shoes is hard enough for folks like me with wide (8.5EEEE) feet, but finding a decent pair of properly fitting STEEL TOE/SAFETY shoes is an exercise in frustration that's often Mission: Impossible. For years (decades) my poor duck feet have been uncomfortably, often painfully, crammed into untold numbers of shoes from all manner of companies promising true "wide" width but were, more often than not, long on promise and short on delivery. Sure, most wide width safety shoes are wider, but the actual steel toe inserts are usually just standard ("M") width units sewn into a wider shoe. This results in the 'ring finger' toe and/or pinky toes being rubbed by the outer edge of the too narrow steel toe cap. Yowch!Up until now I had been enduring New Balance, because they're one of the few footwear manufacturers that cater to widefoot folks. On the advice of a co-worker, I took a chance and ordered these Keen steel toes. This was my first pair of KEENS, but they certainly won't be my last! Let me just say "WOW!" Imagine my delight at being able to slide my tootsies into a pair of steel toes that did NOT cramp my feet OR toes. In fact, there's actually enough room in the toebox of these Keens to spread my toes apart and wiggle them! Hallelujah!!! (((Please note however, that I bought my shoes a full size LARGER than my true foot size. Once on and breaking in, I realized that I could have probably gone with only a half size up, but I almost always buy work shoes a little bigger to give my feet ample room to swell, as they inevitably will over the course of a work day.))) With that said, I cannot guarantee that these Keen's will work like magic for you, but my feet have never been happier. Fit & finish are excellent. The price, while higher than many others in the same style range, is well-worth it just to have safety shoes for work that fit COMFORTABLY. If you spend hours on your feet like I do, then the every extra dollar you spend on these Keens will seem like one of the best financial investments in the history of ever. Now let's just hope these shoes hold up to the rigors of 12hr days on concrete, 6 - 7 days a week. After almost a month, I am far less tired at the end of the day and my feet are feeling zero pain. (I will stop back and edit my review if there are any problems or issues.)Highly comfortable for long days, breathable, perfect work shoesI've been buying wide shoes on Amazon for a few years, because my 4E wide, flat feet are definitely a pain to buy for, and once I saw these on sale I knew I needed to take a chance because Keen makes some great shoes that I can't normally wear.Size wise they run small, this is true for the standard and the Utility lines. I normally wear a 10.5-11, and I ordered a 12 for this pair. My toes have a sliver of room at the end and are NOT bunched in by the steel toe cap, however, if I could swap out for a 12.5 I would, just to allow room for a thicker insole. The insole that comes with the shoes is very nice, but it can't compare with the Timberland Pro inserts.I ordered these shoes thinking there was an 80-90% chance I would need to return them, but not only am I keeping them, I'm pretty happy I finally get to wear some Keen's......now if only they made a wide sandal my shoe collection would be complete :Pil sont confortables et pour le prix de bonne qualité, et avec la grandeur est large de type EE ces excellents ,le seul inconvénient ces que les vendeur qui passe leur temps à changer les prix j'ai acheter ces soulier à plusieurs reprises au montant de $99.95 et depuis environ 1 ans les vendeur ont affiché à des prix ridicule genre $325.00 et même pendant 6 mois il sont devenus indisponibles et maintenant il sont revenus à $149.50 ces à rien n'y comprendreExcelente zapato industrial para trabajar todo el día, es super cómodo, la calidad de los materiales es alta y comple con normas internacionales de seguridad.
