KEEN Utility Cincinnati 90 Degree 6 Waterproof Soft Toe Men's Work Boots Tuscan Red/Sandshell : 10.5 D - Medium, Leather
Overview
The KEEN Utility Cincinnati 90 Degree 6 Waterproof Soft Toe is a mid-height (6") men's work boot built for workers who need reliable waterproofing, electrical hazard protection, and day-long comfort without a steel toe. The boot pairs a full-grain, LWG-certified leather upper with KEEN.DRY waterproof/breathable technology and a moisture-wicking textile lining to keep feet drier in wet conditions. A removable dual-density PolyAer polyurethane insole with an aerated pillow-top provides cushioning and allows for custom orthotics, while a padded tongue and collar add support during long shifts. With PFAS-free construction and ASTM F3445-21 / F2892-18 EH compliance, this boot suits tradespeople who prioritize slip-resistant traction, comfort, and responsible materials over impact-rated toe protection.
