About this item

  • The Gibson ESD is a streamlined, lower-profile version of the work boots you grew up with. It’s got a tough leather upper and energy-returning KEEN.ReGEN midsole for a perfect blend of strength and sleekness. The all-day comfort and ESD-rated outsole make it ideal for working with electronics and assembly, but versatile enough for the rest of your life, too. The Gibson mid-top carbon-fiber toe work boots for men are built off KEEN’s Original Fit giving extra room for toes to spread out and extra support. KEEN Utility products offer removable insoles. These dependable work boots are great for medium-duty work in roofing, construction, utilities, landscaping, maintenance, and energy. KEEN Utility sources all leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG); which reduces water and energy use. At KEEN Utility, we believe in creating work boots that make your Rated 4.2 out of 5. Customers find these work boots comfortable, with one noting they require no break-in period.

They’re comfortable just not if you’re on your feet all day.

They are very light and comfortable, but too much like a tennis shoe which I thought I wanted, but I’m ready to go back to regular work boots. Read more

Very comfortable, but run narrow and small

These shoes are great. I don't quite consider them boots, but they're also not a casual shoe either. They run both narrow and small. I had to get a half size larger and choose wide to fit well. I can also do form they do not set off the tsa metal detector. I'm very happy with this purchase. Read more

Not for heavy duty work

Bought beginning of May. Used for little over a month and a half and they started to unglue and the stitching is coming off. They are super comfortable and light weight. As you can see from the sole, they show very little wear for this to happen. I do do construction work so maybe these ain’t it for that type of work but overall a very comfortable shoe from Keen. I’ll just stick to the Cincinnati for heavy duty work Read more
