KEEN Utility Men's Oxford Work Shoe (Open Box)

Being in the automotive industry, boots take an immense amount of abuse with all the chemicals from oils, solvents, liquids, etc. And from standing in them all day. I use to go through a pair of boots every 3-6 months. After 15 years in the industry,, it gets expensive. I tried multiple manufacturers and different style boots, but they always ended up not being what I needed them to be. Tired of spending so much money in boots that just don't last, I needed a real work boot. A friend of mine recommended KEEN. I went on to their website and realized they have a ton of boots, I didn't know which would be best for me. I messaged the company to see what they recommended. They quickly responded. This boot I am reviewing is one of the boots that was in the list. I chose this one cause, well let's be honest, its a sexy looking boot. I ordered from the manufacturer. I finally received my boots and slid them on my feet. A tear fell from my eye as I choked up a little. These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever placed my foot in. I was so excited to wear these sexy beasts and give them a go. Well a 1 1/2 years later, I am now ordering my second pair. I included pictures of my old ones so you can see the abuse I put them through. The carbon toe is absolutely perfect. It saved me when some engine parts fell, then I found out I could be a world class soccer player kicking a part or tool across the shop floor, etc. I never slipped on any/all the chemicals that were on the floors. I never got athletes feet in these. My feet never hurt in these. I highly recommend this boot for anyone. Its very well built, super comfortable, and long lasting. I will never purchase a different boot again from another manufacturer. I absolutely love these boots.
