KEEN Utility Men's Independence 8 Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boots

The Keen Utility Mens Independence8 Leather Waterproof Composite Toe work boots are proudly assembled with care in Portland, Oregon, USA, utilizing a minimal-waste design and the finest materials from around the world. We are thrilled to be bringing footwear manufacturing back to the United States, produced in one of America's most modern factories.

These boots feature left and right asymmetrical, non-metallic carbon-fiber (composite) toes that offer an unobtrusive fit and are 15% lighter than steel. They meet or exceed the ASTM F2412 and F2413 M I/75, C/75 EH safety standards.

Waterproofing is provided by the KEEN.DRY membrane liner, a breathable system that allows vapor to escape without letting water in, keeping your feet dry and comfortable. The mesh liner integrates seamlessly with this waterproof membrane.

For superior traction, the boots are equipped with an oil- and slip-resistant outsole that is lighter and more durable than rubber. The 90° heel (5/8") provides stability and helps "catch or lock" the foot in place, meeting or exceeding ASTM F1677 Mark II and ASTM F2913 standards.

Comfort and support are ensured through the use of KEEN Luftcell air-infused, PU midsoles for weightless comfort, a nylon shank for midfoot support and superior torsion stability, and moisture-wicking textiles to help keep feet dry.

In summary, the Keen Utility Mens Independence8 Leather Waterproof Composite Toe work boots are built to the highest standards, with a focus on safety, durability, and comfort. Assembled with pride in the USA using the finest global materials, these boots are a testament to American craftsmanship and engineering.
