Speed hiking isn’t about going fast. It’s about experiencing more things. The terrain encountered is more varied – asphalt to trail to stream to stone steps. So, we took the room-for-your-toes comfort, protection, and stability of our iconic women’s hiking boot and gave it a women’s running shoe feel. Breathable mesh sits atop an underfoot cushioning system and ready-for-any-terrain sole, so you can feel comfortable in any condition the day throws at you. The NXIS Speed hiking shoes for women are built off KEEN's traditional wider footwear form. KEEN products are consciously created using PFC-free water repellent (in applicable styles) and leather sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries. KEEN makes shoes to make a difference.
