Lightweight ESD Protection With Sneaker Comfort
The Keen Utility KS86 Utility ESD Men’s is a low-height work sneaker designed for light industrial environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, agility, and comfort are essential. Inspired by Keen’s A86 trail runner, it blends athletic performance with jobsite-ready safety features.
The upper combines suede and textile materials for a breathable, durable fit. A carbon-fiber safety toe provides non-metallic protection that’s 15% lighter than steel, while the 100% non-metallic construction allows easy passage through security checkpoints. The KEEN.ReGEN midsole delivers lightweight, compression-resisting cushioning for all-day energy return.
This shoe is ESD-rated to help reduce static buildup, making it ideal for electronics, aerospace, and light manufacturing. A heat-resistant rubber outsole offers traction and durability in high-heat environments, and the cement construction ensures flexibility and minimal break-in time.
