KEEN Utility Women's Vista Energy Low Height Sneaker Composite Toe Industrial Work Shoe

I am so surprised by these!They are so comfortable and lightweight! It’s also awesome they are in these pretty spring colors!I told my husband yesterday, I didn’t want to take them off because I was more comfortable with them on then with them off.I wear them in a warehouse, all my feet on and off for eight hours, up to four hours at a time.I also wear them outside on pavement and concrete.They are breathable, fit true to size, though if you’d like a little extra toe room, go up half a size.They have great arch support, a composite toe, and are slip resistant!Photo one is with the flash. Photo 2 is without a flash.

I like the color and it's comfortable to my feet and it's light but 1.5 lbs I guess

These arrived brand new and as pictured in the listing with nice colors and design, the outsole tread is very reasonable for industrial applications. They're also pretty lightweight, so would probably prevent fatigue from walking throughout the day.While they seem sturdy on the bottom outside, they lack in the standard cushion comfort and wide toe box of other KEEN shoes, which may affect the lifespan of usability. As I've had close to a dozen pairs of various KEEN shoes over the years, the narrower toe box was noticeable before putting them on. First feels: there's some pressure on the outside of my pinky toes in both shoes - I think there could be too much, not enough, or even the wrong type of fabric encasing the composite material. It would seem to be a generic composite insert, not designed around proprietary KEEN lasts. The shoelace eyelets are also made of some kind of string which I've never seen before, so I don't know how durable that will be if used outdoors. I wear my shoes until there is not much tread left on the outsoles, so the uppers have to keep up with the intended usage.I'm glad I sized up a half size, but I am not sure how these will fare standing in for an 8 hour day. Usually, if there is anything noticeably uncomfortable upon first wear, it simply grows worse over time. Still, a great deal when on sale, so I am going to test my foot tolerance - maybe they'll break in? Hoping to put the shoes through the wringer and not my feet. I'll update this review as needed.Photos: shoe in listing with blue/white and my other KEEN shoe brown/black.

These are great shoes. They are lightweight and comfortable. No break in needed

This shoes are comfortable. Seems big because are safety shoes. A little heavyweight but comfortable. This color is awful. Seems bigger because of the color.

Great for work. Fit true to size. No slipping.

Ordered these shoes for work. I'm a scenic artist and stagehand so I'm on my feet a LOT. Less than 3 months of non-daily wear and the sole started coming off. I have reglued the sole three separate times in order to keep wearing them. The shoelaces have snapped in multiple places to the point they need to be replaced. Cushion is almost non-existent after break-in and your feet WILL ache at the end of an 8hr shift. I'm on my feet all day for work, so I was really hopeful to have a well-fit, quality, non-slip safety shoe and these are NOT it. These lasted less than 6 months of consecutive work and I've traded them out for my three year old hiking boots because even after years of use, they're more comfortable and aren't falling apart like my Keens are.2 stars because they are as advertised, just terrible quality.

I've worn these at work 5 days a week for 7 months, 15k-20k steps each day, polished concrete floor in a warehouse. I'm overweight, which makes a difference with shoe opinions.I tried several safety toe work shoes and these were the most comfortable, but still very little arch support so I used insoles. Plenty of room in the toebox, even though these are less squared off at the toes like most Keen shoes. The shoes stretched a little over time but I'm happy with the fit. I got a half size up from what I usually wear.They held up pretty well over the seven months. I took a picture of them next to new ones of the same type, just a different color. The shoes didn't fall apart in any way.There are some scratches on the toe guard area, they never got bigger/worse over time. There is a small snag in the mesh on one side that also never grew. The material at the back opening of the shoes wore out but it never hurt that area of my ankles.The soles don't show much wear. In the pictures, it looks like the sole cracked at the ball of the foot, but it's just shadows, there are no cracks in the rubber.I decided to get new ones because these make my feet and ankles hurt pretty bad now, which happens to all my works shoes over time, probably because I'm fat lol. Some internal structure just wears out over time.I took off one star for the poor arch support, otherwise I'm happy with the shoes.
