text: I work in public utilities in South Sound Washington. I have a pair of Keen casual shoes that I liked so much I wanted to give their work boots a try. I work outside constantly in the rain, snow mud running jack hammers, concrete saws, sewer augers and jetters, chainsaws to every piece of small landscaping equipment to large tractors.<br /><br />These boots lasted 9 months before I decided to reach out to Keen about problems with the boots.<br /><br />Problems with these boots<br />1. They slowly leak water after 3 months.<br />2. The toe guard glue is failing and they were falling off. I reglued them.<br />3. The insoles are destroyed, I'm 5'10&#34; 190 lbs.<br /><br />I contacted Keen about the insole problem to see if they would send me some new ones under their 1 year warranty. They will not and told me to go buy some.  Their warranty only covers manufacturer's defects, not comfort and fit.<br /><br /> I think insoles that fail in completely in 9 months are a manufacturer defect( Thanks Keen rep Ashley). They do not and I am officially done with Keen. For the price of these boots you can get yourself into some Danner's or Georgia Boots and they will replace anything that goes wrong with their boots.<br /><br />I am going to post a video of sending this boots up in flames once we get some rain.
