.5 Years ago these were 5 Star Sandals. An adhesive reformulation makes them a 1 Star for me given the price and longevity. To put it simply, new pairs of these sandals are glued together using a new, non-toxic water based formula of adhesive and they simply do not last like they used to. My sole delaminated just after two seasons of use. Now, I'm tough on shoes, which is why I went with Keen again, because my original Keen sandals lasted years and I simply replaced them when the sole was worn out, not falling off.<br /><br />The new sandals lasted 1/3 the life of the original before the adhesive change. Great for the workers in the factories, bad for the wearer of the shoe, unless you don't mind buying a new $90 pair more often. I know I don't.<br /><br />Keen was kind enough to reply to my letter of dissatisfaction with the comments concerning the new glue formula, and they said it happens in only 1.5% of the product line, calling it delamination. Guess my last two pairs happened to fall in that 1.5%.<br /><br />They are covered against delaminating for 1 year, which is not very helpful, since the failure occurs the following season of hikes and kayaking! Too bad their warranty wasn't better.<br /><br />If you have a cobbler in your city, maybe there is hope for a fix. I'll probably buy some glue to try to repair mine since there is nothing else wrong with them other than delaminated soles.<br /><br />I expect more for $90 sandals. Great fit, but the durability simply isn't there anymore.
