18 Month Work Boot Update

Quick look at my 18mo well worn Keen Utility Cincinnati boots.

Full review on my channel.

Thanks for the video! Not many people bother to make these because they prefer to show off their reaction to the unboxing of the new ones, which is always pointless and weird. ONE video about a new pair of boots is more than enough, there are not nearly enough old ones because I do care about how they would look a year from now, two years, etc.

I've had my first pair for a year and they have been the most comfortable boot I've had. I've replaced the insoles at 6 months because I'm fat and walk on a lot of smooth concrete. Although I also do a decent amount of rough concrete and the sole has held up well.

I suggest using a leather conditioner to prolong the life and appearance of these fine boots from Keen.

My sole cracked all the way through on my left boot and just started on my right in less than a year. First time ever for that, and another first was my welt never broke which was awesome. Keens warranty on the cracked sole was good too. Grabbed another pair hopefully the sole doesn’t crack through.

Wish I would've done the same update. Mine were in the garbage by 18 months

Before switching to theses keens I would go thru a pair of thorogood moc toe wedge soles in under 12 months. The sole on the keens just doesn’t wear

Mine are 4 years old and all I’ve had to do was laces and 4 new eyelets. I have the steel toe with rubber over mold. Toss them in the washer a couple of times every year and they look great again.

I had a pair of these and they were extremely light and comfortable. Unfortunately they only lasted me 3 months before I wore through the toe. I do a lot of crawling under machines and whatnot, so I was kinda expecting that outcome without having toe caps. I had to switch to timberland ironworker boots. A little heavier, but they are taller and have a bit more support. I am 2.5 years in and they are getting pretty thrashed now.
They are equally as comfy as the keens.

Go find a leather conditioner for leather couches and recliners and use it on your boots.

I love keen. I’ve been wearing then most of my career and personal life. A lot of guys buy new boots every year but keens are a three to five year boot. I have done a lot of different trades and what you do defiantly has different levels of wear. I will always promote keens to my coworkers and friends as I see them as a quality product.

[doublebase]

Yeah I’ve seen a few people wearing these now, they seem pretty good/durable. I hear they are heavy, but that’s ok for something insulated/water proof/carbon fiber toe.

Best boots I’ve ever bought!!! I used to buy Carhartt. Totally better feeling Boots 🥾 . Keen, keep doing what Your Doing!!!! Don’t get the cheap Bug !!!!

[jimmylarge]

I have those same keens and a pair of thorogoods I bought one month apart. The difference between the two is black and white. Try some thorogoods or red wings. U will never go back. I only wear my keens when I’m doing something super nasty and don’t wanna trash my good boots.

[williamjessing]

I just went through my thoragoods in 3 months, my co worker has a pair and they still look new

[bastionwolf]

I think the algorithm wants you to make a new update video on your workboots.

[toejam]

Keens.... you work at a library? I was on the site for 6 weeks and they fell apart, senior line puller 452 yankers bronx. When you need a crane toppled, xall a union

[ApacheChief]

Was just looking at these but they were pull on boots.

[josephstone]

Keen makes a good boot, I have found though that to repair boots today is as or more expensive than to buy new ones . Wear um out totally.

[Karnol]

But are they wide? I often have issues with moc toe not being wide enough. Wedge sole are so comfortable but I’m having a hard time finding some that are wide enough where the side of my foot isn’t off the edge

Hola, fue trabajo pesado o que tipo de trabajo realizaste con las botas?
