Keen 1027663 - Cincinnati 90 Degree 6" WP

I’ve been wearing the Men’s Cincinnati 6” Waterproof 90° Heel Boot (Carbon Toe) in Belgian/Sandshell for two weeks of heavy use. They feel solid without feeling like ankle weights. Slightly heavier than a soft toe, noticeably lighter than steel toe. The carbon toe gives protection without the “cinder block” feeling at the front of your foot. Fit was true to size. No break-in period for the leather or base. No toe box pinch when kneeling or bending, which I’ve had with other brands. That was a win. Only issue so far is a small pressure point from the tongue near the top of the left boot. Not painful, just noticeable. I’m hoping it settles in with wear. Comfort-wise, I put in a 12-hour day right out of the box with no problems. Stood on concrete, walked a few miles, moved across asphalt and uneven wooded terrain. They handled it well. Traction has been good overall. Gravel is solid. Dry shop floors are fine. Wet surfaces can be a little slick, but controlled. I slipped once in mud, nothing unexpected for a work boot, but the heel caught before slipping too much. The 90° heel feels functional, not decorative. Waterproofing held up in a downpour and through puddles. Feet stayed dry. They breathe reasonably well for a waterproof boot. Some sweat, but not excessive. I haven’t dropped anything heavy on my foot, but a 300-pound coworker stood full weight on the toes and I felt nothing. We were both impressed. These are work boots, not fashion boots. That said, they still look professional enough to walk into a meeting on-site without feeling underdressed. Overall, I’m impressed. Aside from the minor tongue pressure point, they’ve been comfortable, protective, and reliable so far. These are for: • People on concrete all day • Range and field workers • Industrial / construction • Anyone who needs protection and professionalism These are not for someone chasing the “rugged Instagram aesthetic. ” Final Verdict: Strong boot. Comfortable out of the box. True to size. Carbon toe is legit. Waterproofing works. Professional look. Only flaw so far is that pressure point at the tongue on the left boot. If that resolves with wear, this becomes an easy recommendation.

I've worn these for the past 6 months in a power plant. They are really a great boot for a rough environment! The insole quality is my only complaint. . . you'll need to buy some upgrades, for sure.

After 1 year, its been one of the better boots I've owned, and the first where the leather and stitching survived, and my only failure point was how fast the outsole wore down, I was already eating into the midsole by 6 months from being on concrete 40 hours a week, my old redwings and a few other brands had plenty of outer sole left, but would blow the side out at the welt by 6-8 months.

This is the first keen work boot I've owned in this style. So far so good. These boots seem to have the traditional keen quality and comfort I've come to expect from keen footwear.

Very comfortable from the very first time wearing them. I work outdoors in the power line industry. And have used several different styles of Keen hiking boots. Was skeptical about buying an actual work boot but glad I did . If I was to want anything different about these boots , it would be to have 3 sets of hook eyelets at the top but that’s not a big deal. All around great boots and very happy with my purchase.

About to buy my second pair of these boot, because they are hands down the best damn boots I’ve ever worked in. Been in the plumbing trade for going on 10 years from service work to new construction I put these boots through hell and back and they are just now needing to be replaced after about 18 months of abuse. Couldn’t recommend a better boot than these right here.

I think these boots are great, they did take about 2 days to break in where as most other keens do not. The sole seems to be a bit different I hope it will hold up better than other keen work boots I have had. They are definitely comfortable to me, I have a high arch so I put an insole in. They are a bit more stiff which I am a fan of, and I guess they are heavy maybe, I spend a lot of time in snowboard boots so it really doesn't bother me in the least. I'd reccomend. They also look great.
