This week, two fortunate winners will each receive a pair of KEEN Utility San Jose 6″ Waterproof 90° Heel Boots — one men’s and one women’s — each valued at an MSRP of $165.

Don’t let the traditional workwear looks fool you. The San Jose 90° is one of the lightest boots from KEEN Utility yet, weighing less than 25 ounces. To lighten the build, KEEN Utility uses air-injected midsoles and asymmetrical aluminum safety toes, which are 33% lighter than steel toes. The 90° heels add more grip on ladders, scaffolding, and soft ground.

These medium-duty boots are a match for construction, trucking, and warehouse work.

Read on for more details on the boots, and then enter to win a pair.

The San Jose Collection includes a variety of wedge and 90° heel boots with jobsite-ready safety features and all-day support. This includes siped rubber outsoles that shed water quickly, increasing traction on wet surfaces. The soles are also EH-rated, so they help reduce the risk of shock when working around live electrical circuits.

All models in the San Jose collection feature Luftcell midsoles. Injected with nearly 100,000 air bubbles per cubic centimeter, they provide a lightweight feel and cushioning you won’t believe.

Premium, responsibly sourced leather uppers keep feet protected and give these boots work-to-weekend versatility. Waterproof versions are built with a KEEN.DRY membrane and have a PFAS-free DWR finish on the outside. This keeps your feet dry on the job by blocking fluids from getting in while still allowing moisture to escape.
