Last year I got into "the Keen Revolution", but after about 6 weeks the sneakers were becoming de-lamed. I should have taken them back to REI and gotten another pair right then and there but I temporarily fixed them (several times since). Has any one else had similar problems because I need to use my REI 20% coupon before tomorrow and will probably get another pair.Can't think of any thing else I need, except more hours in the day, I don't think REI sells that .

Would you buy another pair?
I really like the low heal and the bottom rubber is holding up well. Just they are falling to pieces....

I had several \pairs delaminate. I found a number of nice Keens at the local REI used/returned bin, but they had all delaminated also. I think it is a chronic manufacturing defect.

3 pairs of Keens and never had them delam at all. I don't really like their tennis shoes, but their slip on shoes totally rock and most comfortable shoe Ive ever worn, especially if you spend allot of time walking on concrete.

Have used and abused a pair of their Targhee light-hiking shoe for three years with no problems.

MM, you are a manufacturer dream. Buy a POS piece of equipment that blows out in less than a year and you are already to pony up for more.
