Keen 1023241 - Flint II

Holds up well under lots of various conditions (rain/snow). the upper just keeps going. HOWEVER, with the last two pair the heal blocks (which are cast slightly higher to provide extra wear) have broken BELOW the actual pavement contact surface!! The design is such that it uses (apparently) a trapped air-pocket, during the molding process, for better shock resistance. This pocket relies on the moulded soul walls to maintain structural integrity, and keep the pocket intact. These walls have failed to maintain this air pocket (no exterior indications or actual hole is visible) but the 'block' can be felt to have collapsed by pressing a finger on the pavement side surface, and it just is found to be mushy, or just completely 'flat'. The first indication I had of this issue was, hip-pain, centered around the gluteus medius muscle (and then progressing to the medius minimus and T. F. L. ). This structural failure of the soul design, IF NOT QUICLY CAUGHT, will take a period of rehab to again repair the stress damage to this muscle set, to walk without pain. With the changes within KEEN, I will still purchase their products, but this is to make others (and hopefully Keen's design team) aware of this particularly sneaky failure. :{)

Great fit! Good looking shoes, I purchased the wide with a perfect EE fit. Waterproof, good price, very fast shipping. Very glad I purchased these shoes, I'll be happy for the next few years. I would and have recommended Keens to my family and friends.

I quit counting the number of Keens I've purchased over the years and not sure how many pair I have in use at this time. What I can count on is the consistency of quality and fit KEENs provide me. Thank you KEEN Team!

I am working on stretching the right shoe to accommodate my bunion. At least they are leather and stretch well.

Got these for my husband and so far the reviews are positive. He has narrow feet and despite looking on wide side they fit right. No blisters so far, he's been wearing them for a month. He claims that the support is great, by the end of the day in his old shoes his feet would be hurting. He uses them for work remodeling apartments. Super comfortable when standing in a ladder.

Third pair I've owned and each pair is as good as the last. I work in a factory setting and am on my feet all day.

I was hopeful that these would be a good fit, based on reviews. The length was pretty true to size, however the width has been a problem. I have narrow feet, and these shoes are far too wide for my liking. Even with thick socks, there is still too much room, especially at the toe. They aren’t exceptionally comfortable, either, so it’s hard to give these more than just a couple stars.

Shoes are amazing, I use them for work, I can't believe how well they are and how comfortable they are being on my feet. I would definitely get more in the future.
