The new KEEN Utility Speedworks work sneaker blends sneaker-like agility with jobsite-ready protection to deliver enhanced safety and performance. The athletic-inspired work footwear is helping to bridge the gap for a new generation of workers in shop, manufacturing, distribution settings and beyond where nimble and protective footwear with a more modern aesthetic are favored over the traditional work boot design.
The Speedworks features an innovative, compression-resistant KEEN.Re.GEN+ midsole that provides up to 60% more energy return with each step. Designed to offer a secure fit while maintaining sneaker-like comfort, the work sneaker features a mesh upper with no-sew overlays that deliver all-day airflow and lightweight durability. Carbon-fiber, asymmetrical safety toes — 15% lighter than steel — offer metal-free protection with a less obtrusive fit, enabling the toes to bend and flex more naturally.
Speedwork’s slip-resistant, non-marking rubber outsole delivers dependable traction both indoors or outdoors. Available for both men and women in multiple colorways, the Speedworks Work Sneaker helps workers transition from work to weekend with safety and performance with every step.
