I like the looks, wide toe box, comfort , light weight, and durability of the uppers on these shoes. The uppers take a beating and still look great. I have had three pairs and the soles on the second and third pair are not holding up like the first pair. The price came down too. Maybe Keen is going for high volume and lower quality.  I use these for light construction work and casual wear and the soles are wearing faster and separating from the uppers at  the glue line on the last two pairs. One reviewer said the old model was stitched and I believe it because I have no separation on the older pair. Listen Up Keen and change your methods or this guy is going shopping for another Brand. I would give these shoes 5 stars if the soles lasted more than six months. I normally get a year or more from other well made shoes.
