The Call of Nature
Portland based brand, Keen, driven by a passion for the outdoors, has been producing outdoor footwear known for innovation, craftsmanship, comfort and durability for over 15 years. For spring-summer 2020, Keen brings double versatility in the trail shoe category with new lightweight, high-performance models, allowing all hiking enthusiasts to experience real adventures.
In 2017, the brand proudly launched its first collection dedicated exclusively to women’s hiking, the Terradora line, much loved by fans all over the world. This new model, specifically made for women’s unique biomechanics, has generated a real wave of enthusiasm, quickly becoming the shoe of choice for active women. For Summer 2020 Keen proudly presents the Terradora II collection. Boasting the same flawless fit and incredible support as the original collection, the product design team has excelled, creating a collection with even more comfort, performance and traction. Every feature of the new Terradora II collection has been conceived and designed for women who love to walk and who seek to reach new summits, challenging their limits during their outdoor explorations.
For 2020, the new Terradora II has been upgraded to offer even greater performance and unbeatable comfort, such as an extra 5 mm of cushioning underfoot and the addition of torsional support to provide better stability, even on very demanding trails. All Terradora II models are now further equipped with Kenn’s advanced KonnectFit interlocking heel system, which provides improved locking and stability on unpredictable terrain. A Keen All Terrain rubber outsole now features a more aggressive design with 3mm lugs for greater traction and the addition of forefoot grooves ensures better flex and a more responsive run during faster activities. As in the first edition of the Terradora, the low density Eva midsole fits a female foot, while the modern seamless construction keeps weight to a minimum. A heel cushion provides extra comfort around the Achilles heel, while a removable dual-density footbed with sock lining and built-in foot support gently cradle the natural contours of the foot, providing excellent comfort from the very first step. A lightweight, abrasion-resistant mesh upper offers great protection and structure, with a breathable mesh lining and a Keen Dry waterproof membrane that keeps feet dry. This athletic hiker is is also now also more sustainable than ever, consciously created with a safe PFC free durable water repellent and infused with eco anti odor treatment that uses probiotics rather than chemical alternatives that can be harmful to the environment.
