I've had several pairs of Keens over the years now and they're the best fitting shoe for me, right out of the box. The street type shoes held up really well and my water sandals are still great, tho, I don't really wear them that much. But my Targhees? didn't hold up that great in my opinion. I wore them a few days per week in an office invironment and on the weekends just hanging around. No serious hikes at all, no water at all and the soles were coming off pretty bad in an 8 month span.
I took them into REI and customer service told me "they were having several problems with the shoes and they couldn't recommend them again" so I got my money back. I love the feel and look of the shoes/ boots but at $125 for the boots, they should be holding up a lot better. I hope they are really working on quality control and I would give them another try.
