This is my third pair of Austins and I have found them to be much quieter and take longer to break in than previous versions. I suspect Keen is trying to increase their durability (the older versions started falling apart after about 2.5 years) but be prepared to break them in for a few weeks before they feel good to the touch. They also have cheaper insole material than in the past, which is a shame. I'm keeping them and will continue to wear them, but I also ended up having a pair of Bogs Casual Chukkas ready to wear out of the box.
