KEEN Utility Davenport 6 Inch Composite Toe 400g Insulated Waterproof Boot

keen utility davenport 6 inch composite toe 400g insulated — what the listing actually specifies

KEEN Utility Davenport Composite Toe 400g Insulated Waterproof Boot

A safety toe is impact and compression protection, not electrical isolation. ASTM F2413 treats them as separate ratings: only a boot carrying the EH mark is tested for secondary protection against open electrical circuits, and that protection is voided by wet soles, worn outsoles or embedded metal. Work on or near energised parts is controlled by a zero-energy state and the NFPA 70E arc-flash program first; footwear is the last layer, never the plan.

The KEEN Utility Davenport 6-inch composite toe 400g insulated waterproof boot is the pick when the cold is the main hazard. With 400 grams of insulation, KEEN.DRY waterproofing, an EH rating, and a slip-resistant outsole, it is built for crews who stand outside through the coldest months. The composite toe keeps the toe box from conducting cold the way steel does, which matters more the colder it gets. It is a heavily insulated composite toe boot.

The KEEN Utility Davenport (model 1017804) is a boot with 400g insulation, an ASTM F2413 composite safety toe, an EH rating, KEEN.DRY waterproofing, and a slip-resistant outsole. It is the deep-winter option for shoppers comparing insulated composite boots such as the Carhartt Force HD insulated and the steel-toe insulated Timberland PRO Direct Attach MaxTRAX.

Why Buy the KEEN Davenport

• 400g insulation — the heaviest-warmth reason to buy it; targets deep-winter outdoor shifts where lighter boots leave feet cold.
• ASTM F2413 composite safety toe with EH rating — I/75 C/75 impact protection plus electrical-hazard resistance, and a non-metallic cap that won't pull cold into the toe.
• KEEN.DRY waterproof membrane — keeps snow-melt and slush out; pair with boot care and waterproofing to keep it sealed.
• Slip-resistant outsole — grip on wet, cold surfaces, earning a place in our slip-resistant footwear lineup.
• Roomy KEEN toe box — leaves space for thick winter socks without cramping circulation.

KEEN Davenport Specifications

Jobs and Hazards This Boot Fits

Consider the Davenport for the coldest outdoor work: winter utility and line-adjacent tasks, snow-country construction, cold-storage and freezer floors, and rail or yard work in deep winter. The 400g insulation plus EH rating covers cold and electrical hazards together, and the waterproof membrane handles slush. If your winters are milder or you also need EH in a lighter package, compare the Carhartt Force HD insulated. For energized-circuit context, see our electrical hazard boots collection. Pair the Davenport with thermal work socks from the full safety footwear catalog.

Fit, Sizing, and Who Should Size Up

KEEN runs roomy through the forefoot. For a 400g boot you plan to wear with thick socks, staying true to size usually gives the right room; narrow feet can size down a half for heel lock. Do not size so snug that circulation suffers — compressed feet get colder, not warmer. A supportive insole from our work boot insoles range can also lift your foot off the cold floor. See how to choose safety boots for width guidance. Available in sizes 8 through 13.

KEEN Davenport vs Other Insulated Composite Boots

Choose the Davenport when you need maximum 400g warmth plus an EH rating in one composite boot; choose the Carhartt Force HD insulated for general winter use. Both waterproof boots are in our waterproof work boots collection.
