There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The new pair lasted 3 months before the glue started to separate from the sole - and now if I step in a puddle my foot gets wet. I don't do anything rigorous in these - I walk to the car and wear them at work in the office.
This used to be a great brand, but there is absolutely no way these are worth the $100 they are charging. Maybe $20 is more reasonable given they don't last very long.
Am buying more pairs so I dont have to worry about them being discontinued.
Also I have been commuting on the motorcycle and the shifter isnt wearing the top at all. Bonus.
Love these.
It is simply too rigid, clumsy in design and simply not useful for walking (on soil, rocks or wet environments.)
I am personally a shoe person, former mountain hiker and someone who has owned many different shoes types over decades. It may be that it is a stylistic idea (shoe trend or "look") but the design and materials are not ready for real-world use.
Sorry Keen but this is not your shining moment & I have had my share of your shoes in the past.
Buy a pair and see for yourself
