Women’s Hike

WHY BUY WOMEN’S HIKING BOOTS AND SHOES

When it comes to hiking and backpacking, you want a shoe that will resist the elements, offer you better traction on variable terrain, and help keep your foot comfortable no matter how far you wander. KEEN women’s hiking boots and shoes offer out-of-the-box comfort, and a variety of materials and models to suit any adventure.

Look for our KEEN.DRY membrane, which is impervious to water but lets your foot ventilate. It will help your socks stay dry on stream crossings and in unexpected downpours—and on warm days it will allow heat and vapour to escape, helping you avoid hot spots.

Some hiking shoes feature open uppers that also makes it a water hiking shoe; and others feature our KEEN.WARM insulation to snuggle your feet in warmth. Whether you’re looking for a light hiker for exploring the local mountain, or a full-on backpacking boot to log long miles, KEEN has a shoe or boot to keep your feet happy.

KEEN WOMEN'S HIKING BOOTS

Hiking boots aim to offer more ankle coverage and support. You’ll want to opt for a boot-style hiking shoe if you’re planning to carry a heavy load (like a big backpack) or if you like a little added stability. They’re also ideal for less-worn trails where low-hanging sticks or brush might scrape your ankles.

Among our top-rated women’s hiking boots are the Targhee models. The Targhee boot comes in waterproof and mid options which offers rugged durability in a lean package. A lightweight stability shank will help you navigate through the mountains, and multi-directional lugs give you better traction on a variety of surfaces.

The Revel is our agility of a light hiker with the warmth of a down jacket. Get comfort and support, along with durability, warmth and KEEN.POLAR TRACTION for exceptional grip – perfect for hikes in colder climates. The Revel hiker is designed with 200g of insulation, heat-trapping materials and environmentally preferred leather.

The top-rated Targhee Waterproof women’s hiking shoe comes with our KEEN.DRY membrane to let you hike in puddle-proof comfort. It also has the same anatomically designed insole and grippier outsole you’ll find on the Targhee boot to offer you support and better footing in a more lightweight package.

KEEN WOMEN’S HIKING SANDALS

At KEEN, we know that sometimes the best adventures are spontaneous or when a beach day will turn into an expedition for the best view. That’s why our women’s hiking sandals are built to handle everything from the beach to the mountains and back.

The Newport is the hiking sandal that started it all, with our signature protective toe, generous vents to drain water, and a supportive, burly sole for the hike in. Originally intended for boats, we found people wearing their Newport walking sandals everywhere—so we developed options to address a wider range of adventures.
