"Have worn the shoes for about two and a half months. Wear them almost daily. Love them in all situations and I'm pretty tough on them. They're super comfortable and sturdy and almost everything I would want in a shoe... except for the adhesive that holds the very bottom layer of tread on is coming undone pretty badly, basically everywhere. That started about a month ago and I've been tromping around with floppy tread. Tonight I decided to shoe glue them, and also decided to write this review. I'm curious why the two tread pieces aren't just one piece? Why is there even the potential for them to split there? I do live in the tropics and it is humid here so that could be factor...🤷♂️ Now I am relying in some thick beads of shoe glue🤞"

After waiting around 3 weeks, my shoes finally arrived!Personally I believe Amazon was trying to wait me out in the hopes that I would reorder these shoes, now that they have increased almost $70 in price!What I did was to order a different pair of Keens that will arrive tomorrow.If the quality of those shoes come even close to these, I'll be keeping both.Great shoes, great fit, and even though I had to wait a long time, I got them for a great price!mickey53usa

This is the fifth or sixth pair that I have purchased in the same number of years. I put a number of walking miles on them, plus everyday use. My biggest complaint is that the lug edges of the sole do not always stay attached. I then have to glue them back together with E6000 to get a few more months out of them. Comfortable shoes. Getting expensive to purchasehogwild
