What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These are some of the lightest waterproof hikers I've worn, and they feel great straight out of the box. The cushioning is springy and doesn't pack out, and the traction really impressed me on slick rock and dirt trails. They've quickly become my go-to for fast day hikes."The Zionic NXT Waterproof Hiking Shoe brings agility and speed to the trail while keeping comfort and protection front and center. KEEN built this shoe with a KEEN. DRY breathable membrane to block out rain and puddles while releasing heat, so our feet stay dry and comfortable no matter the conditions. A lightweight stability plate works with high-rebound cushioning to create a responsive, springboard-like ride that keeps us moving with confidence. Underfoot, the KEEN. ALL-TERRAIN outsole with aggressive 4mm lugs grips wet, loose, and rocky surfaces with ease. Sustainable features like recycled PET plastic laces and overlays, plus Eco Anti-Odor treatment, ensure the shoe feels as responsible as it does capable. Weighing less than 10 ounces per shoe, the Zionic NXT is as light as a runner but built with the stability, grip, and waterproofing we trust for hikes that demand speed and surefooted confidence.
