Out of the box comfort is a true statement. These are well made boots! Just got home from a long day on my feet and they feel great!! I did order a 1/2 size larger than normal as noted in other reviews. I wear a wide width and was happy to see they had my size. My last 3 pair of work boots were the Timberland Pro Endurance. These Keen surpass them in comfort and quality. Good bye Timberland...Hello Keen! ******And they're American made!!!!!<br />UPDATE:Coming up on 9 months of everyday use and I'm impressed. The inside of these shoes are so well made, I have 0 wear marks or ripped material inside of the boot. My old Timberlands would have been a mess! Wearing nicely and still as comfortable as the first day I wore them!<br />UPDATE:I've owned two pairs of these shoes. They are very comfortable but the LACE LOOPS HAVE RIPPED OPEN ON BOTH PAIR. They would of lasted much longer. Not very durable! Going to try the Keen's that don't have nylon fabric as the lace loops.
