I live in Florida and spend much of my time on my feet. I would like to purchase some new keen shoes for work. I would like to wear a boot style of shoe, but my worry that the heat of Florida will make them very uncomfortable. I have yet to find a black keen boot that would be work appropriate (I wear all black, but a boot with some color deviation is OK. )
I have been looking at:
– Growler ( http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/fw09/shoes/men/trailhead/growler )
– Blackcomb ( http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/fw09/shoes/men/trailhead/blackcomb )
Or at worst:
– Obsidian ( http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/ss10/shoes/men/trailhead/obsidian%20wp )
– PTC Lace ( http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/ss10/shoes/men/blvd/ptc%20lace )
My 6 year old Newport H2's still serve very well as my wet environment shoe, but my work, as well as hiking and other rough-terrain situations, require a more 'professional' look.
My only worry is the temperature. It is 90+ outside and wearing what is basically a snow boot seems like a poor idea without extra information.
Do you own any a pair of Growlers or Blackcombs? Please let me know how your experience with them has been!
