Best buy ever and I can only hope they’ll produce it forever

Mine is 10 years old, and still going strong, but, I don't wear them often. Yours is a testament of how durable this sandals are. Very few shoe brands as far as I know that you wear everyday, under every weather condition and environment, except snow, could last that long. Tevas start to fray after 1 year of daily constant use, except, on snowy canditions. Best bang for your buck sandals.

@HowtoandReviewsOfficial Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! I’ve been wearing these every day, for everything, and they are still holding up exceptionally. No rear strap issues have emerged on these ones.

@erickruse4679 Жыл бұрын

I'm 300+ lb and go through all daily wear shoes in about 6 months. Usually the stitching around the sole, and the sole itself wearing out very quickly. These are the exception, I've been wearing these constantly for 2 years, the sole is barely worn, stitching is strong. They seem to have stretched a bit in the heel area, because they are easier to put on and fit a little looser, but they are still solid shoes, just not quite as form fitting after 2 years. Great shoes. I got another pair just because I want something more snug for anything athletic. I soaked the old ones in some castile soap and they look like new...wear them for everything else.

That’s great! Thanks for sharing! I agree that the sole is built like a tank, and it’s very comfortable. I will remember your tip for cleaning them!

Too bad keen hasn't improved the weaker less durable heel strap system after all these years. Making them more durable/repairable would keep them out of landfill

@rafferon3439 Ай бұрын

I've been wanting to buy a pair of Keen's and have been searching on Ebay. I still like to do research, even with used items, so I've been watching a handful of reivews. Your review was absolutely the funniest and most entertaining. Sometimes guys are too focused on coming across as really tough and gruff, but your review made me laugh out loud! Thank you.

Nice! I don’t think you will regret it. I seriously punished them in all environments. I wear them daily all summer. Very rugged and comfortable.

@greybirdo Ай бұрын

I had my first pair for five years, and have just replaced them with another pair of the same. They've served me well on expeditions from the Galapagos to the Great Barrier Reef. I'll still keep the old pair exlusively for saltwater kayaking, as Stonefish are prevalent in some of the estuaries I kayak in, and these Keens are the only water shoes I trust to stop a Stonefish stinger from coming right through the sole.

Bought a pair of these in Spain 4-5 years ago, still a daily user and the best pair of sandals I ever had at that. I am a 110 kg dude so these thick vibram soles are just the kind I like, although they might not be for smaller people as the rubber soles might be to hard if you weigh say 50 kg.

Awesome! That’s a good point! My new set has held up great. It’s been a year, and they’re still like new. I have not experienced the damaged heel strap this time.

Best kept secret; when the heel strap gives up, cut just behind the ankle guard on each side, toss the strap and now you have a great pair of "slip-on" Keens. Works well...! Don't toss 'em...

Nice! Unfortunately, I tossed my 4 year old pair. But I won’t make that mistake again.

@NycX360 16 күн бұрын

Yup, i wear them in the dirt mostly, out with the dogs, they last me a year, or at about a year the ankle stitching is falling to pieces, use in water && sand doesn't help either. I weight like 160lbs, so I imagine someone near 200 or above, they don't last as long, with the same use.

@davidravo6247 3 ай бұрын

The newer ones certainly seems to have superior stitching, and possibly better material between the two straps

You didn't mention sizing. Their website states that they run small and to size up. Is that what you found?

@HowtoandReviewsOfficial 8 ай бұрын

Great question. My shoes are typically size 11, and my Keens are size 11 and fit perfect. When I purchased the first pair a couple years ago, I tried ordering them online. They were too tight and I sent them back. After that, I just went to a local store so I could try actually them on. From my personal experience, I recommend purchasing your normal shoe size. But, like purchasing any shoes online, you won’t know for sure until you try them on. Purchase local if you can.

They do look interesting. They appear to be light duty in compression and more for fashion than functional use in water and rugged terrain. Let me know how they work out!

@strongarmed4907 Жыл бұрын

Do you recommend the H2? As I understand it, H2 just means it was designed to dry out faster. Did you use the H2's for hiking/walking, or more for water activities?

@HowtoandReviewsOfficial Жыл бұрын

I definitely used them more for hiking and walking. That was 95+% of the use. However, I did get them wet plenty of times on beaches and lakes and revers. I have a good 30+ miles on the new pair. Mostly concrete and grass, but also climbing boulders along a lake and in a lake. I would absolutely recommend them for mostly walking and hiking. If you are looking at heavy water use, I would look for something different like water shoes.
