I bought a pair of keen boots about 5 years ago. I wear them daily from grocery shopping to hours long hikes with my husky.
my soles are prestine. the boot material itself I feel I should have hydrated somehow since the material is cracking on the sides near my toes, but zero issues with the soles.
not sure how or if this helps but it’s my experience with keen
edit: I should also mention I walk different from most people. I don’t typically walk heel/toe, I put my foot flat on the ground then move forward. this probably also helps my longevity of the soles since I have a much lower chance of scraping it in the ground. I adopted this way because of hiking. ensure solid surface before putting all weight/moving forward, and less chance of tripping on roots and stuff
