This is the third pair of the Keen Detroit XTs that my husband has ordered from Zappos in the past five years. He is very rough on his boots and has been very pleased with the durability, water-proof feature, comfort and fit. He thinks that these are the best steel toed work boots available. His only complaint has been the shoe laces coming untied. However, this latest pair has an improved lacing system and he has yet to have the laces on this new pair come untied on him. So now he thinks that they are PERFECT!

Much lighter in weight than how they look yet very solid build. Excellent construction and extremely comfortable foot-bed for all day wear.

Ordered an 11 1/2 extra wide. Fit was perfect both width and size.

Fit is good. Comfort is excellent. Most comfortable work shoe. A little heavy but expected for steel toe.
Dianne –
Fits great, just what I needed for work… a heavy shoe, steel tie a bonus and waterproof when the rain comes! I changed the shoe laces to a nice lavender…

So, I wore them one day on my job. It’s constant work on a concrete floor, with lots of heavy lifting. I cannot believe how comfortable these boots were on day one. When I got home, they almost looked as good as when I took them out of the box. These boots are AMAZING!
Bruce –
AMAZING!!!! Comfortable upon removing them from the box. Well constructed and extremely good arch support. This is the best boot I’ve ever worn.

I’ve been wearing for a week on the job and can say this… Excellent support. Support is a really big thing for me because of my knees. Happy with these so far. The shoes are alot heavier than I anticipated though, and my biggest concern going forward is the tread. Not only does the tread seem really thin (which worries me come snow season), but just after a few days, rubber is peeling off pretty regularly (see attached photo). For the price I paid, I’m expecting these to get me through at least March. I’ll review now and say, I would buy again. But, hoping to update this review in several months (hopefully with no regrets!)

My husband has issues with plantar fasciitis which has been bothering him more lately, his pain is greatly improved since wearing these boots, he is very happy!
Mark –
Very comfortable right out of box.
Greg –
Size and fit are really good. Was worried about them being to heavy, but they’re lighter than my old pair of a different brand. Took a little breaking in as any new boot, very happy with my choice and would recommend them to all. Standing on my feet all day, at the end not as tired as I thought. Good choice.

Fit was spot on; sizing width, arch support, everything. Felt great right out of the box. Just wish the laces were not so long.

Very comfortable boots, I like them.

Still breaking these in, but Keen makes very durable, comfortable steel-toe shoes. Replaced my last pair which lasted 7 or 9 years of regular Lab use (cylinders, vac pumps, etc.) Plus, a fair share of home lawn work, snothrower too, & even hiking. They do need periodic “bear-grease” to last, but that’s the good thing about leather vs synthetic. Minor issues: These soles are more stiff than the last ‘lug’ style. And the EEs replacements had a weird (cloth I think) protrusion in one of the shoe’s toes but this receded. A fitment caveat: last pair was D width; NG this time, shifted to the EE and fit is fine — closer to the “D” width. Zappos was great on delivery both times. First Ds arrived spot-on-time. Tried them on carpet floor and ‘yee-ouser’, too tight. Repacked in their return cover (TY), ordered the EEs and they were back almost same time the Ds went out (OK, not really, but impressively fast.) No Hassles. Not sure why the Keen’s have sporadic negative reviews, but I’m happy with both the Keen product and with Zappos! Thanx. –PD

I am Amazon driver and I love it. It’s very comfortable, but it’s heavy. It is the best one. You need buy one good “Sole Insoles”

Well made, true to size, comfortable and good looking.

The boots fit exactly like my previous pair.

Zappos is a great organization that is very responsive to customer needs, including prompt delivery of products, and the website is very easy to navigate

I am a delivery driver: needed steel toe and waterproof. But I had an unknown benefit from my selection. During a delivery, walking through the grass, I stepped on a roofing nail. I went flush to the sole. It didn’t touch my foot!! You’ve [KEEN] got a customer for life!!!

Very comfortable work boots especially for being steel toed which is unusual for me I would recommend the boots for work I have a 10.5 normally with no unusual measurements with my feet so if you fit into that category I would recommend giving these boots a try

Great pair of work boots that you can also use in the snow.

I’ve used them for work boots and beaten them up. Tough.

I was reluctant to go with a boot since I was used to the Lansing shoe (I think that’s the one) but I needed protection further up my leg. Just 2 weeks into having them in a warehouse environment and they are very comfortable. No break in of note. They are heavy, but I appreciate the solid build and extra protection. If you need the extra toe area and don’t want to take chances, you really can’t go wrong with most any Keen work shoe/boot. This is my 3rd pair and they are great for what I need.
