I'm a big hiker with my giant German Shepherds, and wore out a pair of keens in one year. They pretty much separated upper from sole. Like I said, maybe I'm just harder than most on boots, YMMV. Went with Oboz and two years in still going strong.

First I’ve ever heard of these. They sure look like good boots, and shoes. I will be checking into those.

Only pair of Keens I tried fell apart in short order. I get a few years out of Merrell for hiking boots/shoes with regular use. For "work" and general wear type boots I have a pair of leather Timberland that are at least 10 years old. I've replaced the insoles a couple of times. Just make sure they're actual leather and not a synthetic, and that the insoles are not glued in.

I had good luck with Keens but they didn't last as long as I would have liked. I am very hard on boots. Went a step up to Redwing but use keen inserts in them. Good boots. If I have to go a step up again I'm just going to get a custom pair of Nick's.

Mink oil is your friend if your boots are not suede. It will darken the leather some but for the good in my experience. Adds years to the outside of the boots. Just a little advice in exchange for all your good advice .

You gotta take care of good boots if you want them to take care of you. Every week I clean, condition and reapply water proofing. Currently breaking in an extra pair of Redwing boots. They have the new fancy wind up lace system. BOA it's called. I was on the fence about it. Especially at the price point of the boots. But it's awesome.

I clean mine and use the same conditioner I use on my leather belts. I think what I'm using now is Daltech Gold. Which reminds me, I need to order some.
