Trail-Inspired ESD Work Sneaker With Carbon-Fiber Safety
The Keen Utility KS86 Utility Men’s is a lightweight, low-height work sneaker designed for agility, comfort, and protection in light industrial settings. Drawing inspiration from Keen’s A86 trail runner, it delivers athletic performance with jobsite-ready features.
The upper is made from a breathable blend of suede and textile for durability and comfort. A carbon-fiber safety toe provides ASTM-rated protection while being 15% lighter than steel. The 100% non-metallic construction makes it ideal for environments with metal detectors or ESD-sensitive equipment.
The KEEN.ReGEN midsole offers responsive cushioning with up to 50% energy return, helping reduce fatigue during long shifts. The rubber outsole is oil- and slip-resistant, with heat resistance up to 572°F (300°C), and features a lugged tread for secure footing on varied surfaces.
