Keens - Jasper Zionic peeling

Hello all,

I purchased a pair of Keens, Jasper Zionic in rough Java suede (see pictures from when first purchased) and absolutely loved them at first!

Didn’t need to break them in at all, cool looking, etc

But after a few wears, walking in a city, I noticed the rubber toe box on both shoes, and one of the foam side pieces starting to peel away from the shoe.

Since I bought them at REI, a friend told me they have a 100 day return policy for members.
I was able to return them, no problem.

Sadly, I couldn’t do an exchange because they were out of my size.

So now, I’m trying to decide… do I buy them from the Keens site or buy a different shoe to avoid the peeling problem again?

Also - I only see them online with an all black bottom now and not the tan bottom I purchased from REI.

Has anyone else had this experience?
What should I do??

*sorry, I returned them before I thought to take pictures of the peeling.
