Donner Party is right on, but there may be trouble down the trail. After 8 mos. of moderate use, the toecap on my (original version) Mid started separating from the upper. Customer reviewers on other sites mentioned this. Since the dealer was out of my size, they gave me a pair of the Mid II's. (Keen has a fantastic warranty.) Now I see that wearers of the new model are complaining of the same problem- not very encouraging. (As an aside, it seems they lightened up the color of the tongue area on the new model, and the overall effect is that pinkish hue you get when you mix the whites with the coloreds in the laundry. I no longer have the coolest looking shoes on the block!)
