KEEN Present latest Hybrid Hikers

Get ready to ready to reach new heights during your outdoor adventures on and off road this winter as KEEN present their latest fast and light hybrid hiking collection.

Delivering the ultimate fusion of support and performance the KEEN Zionic WP returns for another season of adventure, designed from the ground up to deliver second to none comfort.

KEEN’s iconic, generous fit has been carefully adapted with a streamlined last providing secure and cushioned support, that still allows the toes and forefoot to spread, giving that distinctive KEEN feel and all-day comfort, so loved by fans across the globe.

Constructed with a high-performance rip-stop, recycled mesh upper, TPU overlays provide extra durability and protection in exposed areas, whilst a KEEN.DRY waterproof, breathable membrane ensures feet stay dry and comfortable even in winter’s worse weathers. A direct attach air injected midsole with stability shank delivers lightweight, underfoot cushioning and support, with a removable PU insole with arch support ensuring long lasting comfort and reducing foot fatigue on long excursions.

A PFA free Durable Waterproof Repellent provides long lasting protection from the elements without any of the downstream impacts of chemical alternatives whilst KEEN’s Eco Anti-odor system keeps feet smelling sweet even when moving at pace without the use of harmful pesticides. Designed with a heel ‘crash pad’, where the outsole is wrapped around the heel to help absorb impact, a high traction outsole features 4mm low profile lugs, providing reliable traction and enhanced ground contact, for a palpably fluid heel to toe movement that flexes and supports with every step.

Additional padding around the Achilles provides comfort straight from the box, protecting against abrasion and friction and ensuring a comfortable ride even when moving at speed or on technical terrain. KEEN’s speed lace system with top collar hooks allow a swift, secure and comfortable fit, with a neat two finger webbing loop on the heel, providing additional leverage to pull on and go with ease and speed when you are on the fly. Choose from a mid (£160) or low-cut (£150) model in men and women’s specific editions.

Combining KEEN’s trademark stability, durability and comfort with an agile, progressive design and athletic, lightweight cushioning and fit, the Versacore provides best of both worlds’ performance for cross training, ready to traverse from the trail to tarmac and beyond. Designed to perform and protect, an engineered mesh upper with TPU overlays shields against wear and tear, whilst a padded collar cushions and protects the ankle from torsion during swift side to side movement.

A lightweight, high rebound EVA midsole cushions underfoot, with a built in ESS bruise plate providing additional protection when encountering rocky or uneven surfaces.  Equipped with a KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN® rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs that wraps around the midsole for protection and lateral stability, you’ll be assured of a steadfast grip and great durability wherever adventure takes you.  Featuring an anatomical PU footbed with built in arch support for comfort straight from the box, a breathable mesh lining and KEEN’s planet friendly Eco Anti-Odor Control system ensure feet stay fresh and dry even in inclement conditions. Choose from a WP edition with KEEN.DRY (£125) or non membraned, the Versacore Speed (£110) in men and women’s specific editions.
