Composed of a premium brown leather upper with a brown crocodile-stamped leather collar, this sleek work boot has the look and feel of a sleek lace-up. Details like gold eyelets, fireman laces, and dual branding appear throughout the utility boot. In its construction, the design comes with a 360-degree Goodyear rubber welt and contrasting midsole. The outsole of this shoe is slip-, heat-, and oil-resistant, for extra protection for anything you might encounter. Keen’s Luftcell midsole comes with air infusion for extra lightweight support that gives added comfort to the user. Priced at $250, this boot is available on KEEN Utility’s and Noon Goon’s websites. For in-store purchases, this boot will be available to try on at Nordstrom locations. Whether you use them for work or everything else, you can’t go wrong with a flexible shoe that can do it all.
