KEEN Delaveaga discontinued

[schnelle]

Local shoe store told me KEEN was going to discontinue the Delaveaga line. I called KEEN, and they confirmed.

 

[StingHP]

is this going to spark a buying frenzy?

 

[schnelle]

That or a lynch mob

Did they say why? I am trying a pair of Keen Zions I got from a zulilly deal to see if they are comfortable enough to pay full price for some DeLa's. I guess I won't get the chance now. Too bad, I like the Zions so far.

Time to switch to north Face

Well the last thread I read about these shoes was full of people claiming they fell apart after just a few months, so this doesn't surprise me.

Patagonia is where it's at

Lack of retailer interest is what I gathered. Hope the quality is there. I just paid $140 for mine. They sponsored our recent tourney, so I wanted to support our sponsors in return.

 

[schnelle]

What they said was that what is on hand is it!

 

[bradharris]

Hmm, realizing that marketing specifically to disc golfers is not particularly profitable?

And people wonder why the big name sponsors haven't jumped on board...

 

[B3NDER]

^ I see what you did there.

I love my Keen Zions. Great shoe.

above, I love my Keen Zions.

This is what the problem is. Where the sole attaches to the shoe on the inside right foot is the problem. As people make a cross step motion, it rips apart in a matter of months.

bummer, so now what shoe are people going to use?

I ordered a pair of slip-ons to wear while walking my dog around the apartment complex. I love them. May have to try their actual shoes.

I've been wearing their Capilene underlayer gear for skiing and disc golf and would never pay for UnderArmor. My last pair lasted 15 years before they wore out.

keen bryce are sweet. waterproof unlike delav-discontinued

 

[Bamm]

I have Milo II's and I love the fit/feel but they just aren't holding up the way you would expect a decently expensive shoe would.

 

[Swisher Streets]

Vibram sole or gtfo.. I can see the threads now "OOP Keens 4 Sale!!!"

I'm wearing the Tsali 2.0 now and before I had the Tsali 1.0.

If you pivot hard on your heel the bottom will eventually seperate. The one I'm wearing now has just started to seperate and I've been wearing it probably half a year; but i wear these shoes all the time. I just took some superglue and glued it back together and it's fine.

I had my Tsali 1.0s for over a year and while they've worn the front right toe where I drag I still wear them every now and then. They held up better than most shoes I've ever had. Even ones designed for more stress.

Extremely comfortable shoes and super light weight. Lots of heel support and theyre mostly mesh so it's very breathable. Not waterproof if that's your gig.

They paid out the ass for warranties. It was not worth their money to continue selling them. You just can't slap an awesome warranty on a shoe that repeatedly is abused on a teepad.
