Introduction to the Chicago collection
The number of tools and tasks required to navigate the workday can be many. Today’s skilled trades professionals face a variety of challenges that demand versatility and ingenuity, both in the skills that they develop and the resources or tools that they rely on. KEEN Utility listened to our hardworking tradesmen and tradeswomen, and, this season, these work boots answer the need to be the tool you won’t have to change as the workday evolves.
The Chicago work boot collection is packed with a number of modern features and meets an exceptional price point. Its value-forward construction makes it a versatile tool for a variety of work environments, so if you’re searching for a waterproof work boot in both men’s and women’s styles, look no further. Built to offer rugged protection with a classic appeal, these non-metallic work boots offer all-day comfort and superior traction with slip-resistant outsoles for a variety of industries and applications.
The six-inch work boot features a non-marring, waterproof leather upper, non-metallic eyelets and lace hooks as well as weight-saving carbon-fiber safety toes that are 15% lighter than steel toes and deliver ASTM-rated toe protection with a roomy, more unobtrusive fit. The KEEN.ReGEN midsole offers superior compression-resistance and provides 50% more energy return for long-days walking and standing.
