For everyday hiking, a bulky hiking boot can feel like overkill. But you still want the support, comfort, and protection of a hiker on varied terrain. By combining a flexible, vented design, reinforced heel support, Keen's iconic toe protection, and trail-specific technology — like the ESS bruise plate that guards against rocky trails — they created a sturdy men's hiking shoe that feels like a trainer. We call that a hiker trainer around here.

• Trainer Comfort: Athletic cushioning with high-rebound EVA and a higher-traction rubber outsole.
• Underfoot Protection: We've added an external stability shank bruise plate underfoot for extra protection on rocky terrain.
• Trail Stability: Our S3 (shock, suspension, and stability) heel support system is engineered to support the foot on impact and dissipate shock.
