The Lansing Low pairs a water-resistant leather upper with a moisture-wicking mesh liner and KEEN. KEY-TECH FLEX underfoot support, making them a solid choice for workers who need a roomy fit, good arch support, and safety features like a steel toe and Electrical Hazard (EH) rating.

Key Features

• Breathable liner: The mesh lining helps keep feet cooler during long shifts by providing airflow and moisture-wicking performance.
• Contoured support: KEEN. KEY-TECH FLEX and a removable metatomical dual density EVA footbed deliver structured underfoot stability and long-lasting cushioning.
• Slip-resistant outsole: Oil- and slip-resistant rubber with lug patterns provides dependable traction on slick surfaces and meets ASTM non-slip standards.
• Water resistance: Water-resistant leather plus a moisture-transporting lining helps protect the leather and keeps feet drier in light wet conditions.
• Safety features: Steel toe protection and an Electrical Hazard (EH) rating offer added protection for light- to medium-duty work environments.
• Durable construction: Built on KEEN's wider last with probiotic odor-control technology in the materials to reduce sweat smells over time.

Who It's For

The Lansing Low is best for men who work indoors on job sites such as warehouses, light construction, landscaping, and distribution centers and who need a roomy toe box and good arch support. It suits people who prioritize breathability in warm environments and want a slip-resistant sole with certified traction.

Those who need heavier duty boots for prolonged outdoor use in very wet or muddy conditions, or who prefer an ultra-lightweight shoe, may want to look elsewhere.
