Targhee III Slip-On Shoe (Men)

I really like these shoes and wear them quite often. Super easy to get on and off and very reliable traction and foot protection however, the seam adjacent to the outside front edge of my foot tends to pop open overtime on both shoes, while the rest of the stitching and condition of the shoe is overall still excellent. I’m going to try to repair this issue for both shoes, but it seems like a design flaw where this stress point is not reinforced adequately.

Keen shoes and boots are excellent in every regard except one: Durability. They just don't last. Their shoe treads are not molded into the sole. They are glued on. Same with the rubber toe caps. The glue fails long before the boots are worn out. Pieces fall off or "flap" causing the shoe to "catch" or to pick up debris. They need to change the glue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought various Keens since the beginning of the company. The quality has always been excellent and the design base, or last I think it’s called, fits my feet perfectly. I have very flat feet and struggle to find a good fit. I have just purchased the slip on Targhee for the first time and I am very happy with the design. I have always bought the same size 12 and this is the first pair that have run a little small. I can wear them but they are not that perfect fit. I will definitely be back again and may have to upsize with this particular model.
