Keen Utility Braddock Work Boot Giveaway
 
 

"A Leopard doesn't change it's spots!"

The KEEN Utility Braddock boots have held up marvelously to a myriad of harsh conditions without flinching and they have un-bootlike comfort like I’ve never experienced.

I completely expect that they’ll keep performing in this same manner through the life of the boot.

The folks at Keen Utility are giving away a pair of Braddock AL WP work boots to one lucky ToolBoxBuzz newsletter subscriber.
