I bought these shoes in May. They look cool and are comfortable for everyday wear. After 1 month of wearing I noticed the rubber starting to peel away on the side. I contacted Salewa and they told I must send the shoes to them so they can evaluate if they will replace or send me back the defective shoes. 6 weeks without shoes that I have owned for 1month.With  Keen all you need to do is email  a picture and they send you a new pair without asking for the old pair returned.  #2 Salewa claims to be based in Boulder CO but the shoes are made in Vietnam
