KEEN Utility

Flint II (Soft Toe)

Women's

Got these for hiking and they’re great. Sole is rugged and pretty stiff so excellent on rocky trails, great traction on wet rocks and roots as well as dry surfaces, but sole doesn’t pick up a lot of debris, toe protection also rugged. Fit for me was perfect because they come in wide widths, wide toe box ??, they also accommodate my high instep. I wore these on the trail right out of the box, no need to break in, super happy with these.

I wanted to replace my Keen hiking shoes and tried these, not knowing what a "work shoe" was (item description wasn't clear on that, not on Keen's site either). Turns out that the sole is super stiff. Great for factory floors, but not so much for hiking trails with pitch- returning. LOVED the fit/toebox shape of the wide width though....! Wishing for more wide Keen COLORFUL hiking shoes (instead of everything grey, dark grey, and brown).

Bought these shoes to wear at work in a veterinary clinic. So far loving them - great arch support and my feet are holding up well after 12 hour plus days. Soles are truly nonslip - the floors at work can get slippery when wet and no issues walking on wet floors. The grey color matches my scrub pants well and seem like they won't show stains/dirt easily.

For a hiking shoe, I guess the shoe doesn't have to be that attractive. And its not. The front of the shoe was comfortable, the arch area of the shoe was comfortable. But the heel area...too wide. My heel was coming out of it when I walked across the room, no matter how tightly I laced them. For this style, Keen must think.... if you have a wider front of the foot, you must also have a thicker ankle area. So, if you're looking to buy this shoe and you don't also have a thick ankle, its a no go.
