In response to the needs of South Floridians and electricians who like to surf during their lunch break without having to change shoes, KEEN Utility has released their Key West Steel Toe Flip Flops with a lot of fanfare.
“We did extensive research in the field and found that the majority of electricians in Florida wear flip flops to the jobsite anyway. We wanted to at least provide them with a safety toe solution to make them safer on the job,” KEEN said one of the marketing executives. "Now they can enjoy the sun, surf, and get back to the job site without having to change their shoes."
The new KEEN Key West Steel Toe Flip Flop also has a built-in bottle opener in the sole and meets ASTM F1677-96 MARK II and F2913-19 SATRA anti-skid test standards. For additional protection, KEEN has added ASTM F2412-18 and F2413-18 MI/75 C/75 EH Electrical Hazard Protection Standards.
