I discovered these sandals on the feet of some friends who I know to research everything, so I wanted to believe.  I bought myself a pair ($100 plus, forget exactly) last November 21, 2014.  They fit and looked great for about 3 months...then the stitching started to fall apart on one shoe.  A month later, the stitching on the other side began to unravel.  The sides of both shoes have now completely separated and it's too late for Amazon to take them back.  If someone from Keen is reading, I'd be interested to know if my experience is something of which you already knew.
