New for Spring ‘24, the Evanston from Keen Utility offers the burly protection of a work boot with the athletic feel and flexibility of a sneaker, the company says. Product highlights include a responsive KEEN.ReGEN cushioning that provides up to 50-percent energy return with every step as well as carbon-fiber safety toes that are unobtrusive and 15-percent lighter than steel. Other standout features include a KEEN.DRY waterproof, breathable membrane and full-grain Barnyard Resistant leather upper to keep you shielded from jobsite messes. A tough worker with an energetic sole, the Evanston is available for both men and women.
Editor’s Note: I don’t typically endorse products, butI’ve owned a couple of pairs of Keen shoes, a steel-toed work shoe that I don’t use often but is very sturdy, and a pair of more casual work shoes that are excellent, very comfortable and decent-enough looking to wear out to dinner. Good quality, in my humble opinion!
