Using these Keen Utility boots is easy. Just put them on like you would any other pair of boots. They're great for hiking or work. When you're out on uneven surfaces, the Key - Tech Flex outsole will give you stability and reduce foot fatigue. The steel toe and met guard protect your feet from impacts. For maintenance, keep them clean. You can wipe the leather and nylon upper with a damp cloth. If they get wet, let them dry naturally, away from direct heat. The Cleansport NXT helps with odor, but if you want extra freshness, you can use the removable footbed and replace it or clean it according to the instructions. Make sure to check the outsole regularly for wear and tear. Also, remember that these boots are Electrical Hazard (EH) rated, so use them in appropriate situations.
