They stand behind their product. This from the web page:
If within 90 days from the date of purchase, your KEEN Utility Footwear is not the most comfortable you have worn, we’ll take them back, no questions asked.
Built in the USA in our hometown of Portland, OR, these boots are tough enough to stand up to shards of glass, jagged metal and even nails. PR stands for puncture resistant soles, which, along with their lightweight aluminum toe box and moisture wicking waterproof lining, makes the Portland PR the perfect protection for heavy-duty construction or waste management.

I had a pair of Keen shoes that I wore into the ground. The leather upper finally started separating from the sole. They were bulletproof, though. The best part of them was that I could wear them to teach, come home and mow the lawn in them, get up on the roof to clean the gutters, slog through the mud on a hike, lounge around the house, and back to work. They were also slipons, so they were my default (gotta run out in the rain/snow/whatever and grab the mail and newspaper shoes). They never looked worse for the wear, and I wore them in all situations.
I have a new pair of Keens, but I'm not nearly as happy with the look of them (they just don't look as beefy). I don't have any complaints about the comfort or performance, though. I'll probably like them after I break them in a bit more. Currently they just look too new.
I can imagine that their boots would be quality.
