Keen Men's Independence 8" Work Boot Round Toe Brown 11.5 EE US

Great fitting boots that are lightweight, durable and most importantly one of the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. The tie for most comfortable boots is with the 3 pairs Keen Cincinnatis I've owned which are great boots also but definitely more bulky and cumbersome than the independence. The waterproofing is working well and kept my feet dry in about 7" of rapidly flowing water while cleaning out a storm drain during a flash flood event. Only one bad thing to say about these is that the speed hooks are too tight making them not so speedy, but thats a minor annoyance that only affects lacing up the boot. I think Keen should enter the pull on boot market, I'd say around 50% of construction workers in the southeast our wearing pull-on square toe boots and from what I've tried that market could use the comfort your boots bring to the table.
