What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These shoes feel like they were made for fast-moving hikes. The cushioning is bouncy and stays comfortable after hours on rocky trails, and the waterproofing works without overheating my feet. They've got the nimbleness of a runner but enough stability and grip to handle technical terrain."The Zionic NXT Waterproof Hiking Shoe is built for adventurers who want lightweight agility without giving up durability or waterproof confidence. KEEN designed this trail-focused shoe with a KEEN. DRY breathable membrane that seals out rain while letting heat escape, so our feet stay dry and comfortable through changing weather. A high-energy midsole with compression-resistant cushioning and a full-length stability plate creates a responsive, springboard-like ride over uneven ground. Underfoot, the KEEN. ALL-TERRAIN outsole features 4mm multi-directional lugs that dig in for reliable traction on mud, slick stone, and loose dirt. Recycled PET materials and Eco Anti-Odor technology round out the design, making this shoe as sustainable as it is functional. At just under 12 ounces per shoe, the Zionic NXT moves fast on steep climbs and technical trails while maintaining the waterproof protection and support we trust for long days outdoors.
