Nxis Evo Waterproof Women’s Walking Boots – SS24

Keen Nxis Evo Waterproof Women’s Walking Boots

What we love most about hiking fast is experiencing more things. More sunrises from the overlook, more high fives at the summit, more post-hike tea with friends back at the parking lot. And more terrain – asphalt to trail to scree to stone steps. So we took the room-for-your-toes comfort, protection, and stability of the iconic hiker and gave it a running shoe feel with a waterproof, engineered knit upper and all-terrain tread.

Performance Mesh Upper

Developed to provide lightweight, breathable support, the Keen NXIS EVO Walking Boots have been constructed using a performance mesh upper. The lightweight and supportive mesh swathe the foot in breathable comfort to ensure you remain cool and comfortable at all times. The mesh allows cool air to flow throughout the upper whilst, at the same time allowing hot humid air to escape so you can remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. This creates a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in so you can go further for longer. As well as this, lightweight TPU overlays also feature on the upper to provide an abundance of support; the overlays ensure structure and support whilst also providing added durability to keep your feet protected on rocky terrain. Keen.Dry technology is also incorporated into the upper to provide resistance against sweat and moisture which is inevitable during exercise. The breathable membrane keeps your feet cool, dry and comfortable as it wicks away the sweat and moisture so you can focus on your performance without discomfort or distraction. The waterproof nature of Keen.Dry keeps you protected when the weather takes a turn for the worst. Completing the upper is a KonnectFit heel-capture system which works with the lacing system to provide a lock-in feel. These two technologies work in tandem to lock down the midfoot and heel to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

EVA Midsole

Constructed using a lightweight EVA midsole, the NXIS EVO provides comfortable cushioning that keeps you going all day long. The injected EVA provides significant cushioning and comfort to help improve the level of your performance so you can stay at your optimum level, for longer. Holding excellent cushioning abilities, the midsole absorbs shocks as you move throughout the gait cycle providing resilient cushioning and reducing the risks of potential injury. A removable PU insole also features within the midsole for long-lasting comfort. The insole sits comfortably under the foot and can be easily removed if you’d prefer not to use it. As well as this, Eco Anti-Odour features in the insole and offers natural odour control, eliminating odour-causing microbes and ensuring your boots smell fresher for longer. Completing the midsole is a stability shank that delivers lightweight support and reduces the chance of ankle rolling or injury by providing a bit more stability to the foot whilst on rough terrain.

Keen.All Terrain Outsole

Providing ultimate, all-around protection, the NXIS EVO features a Keen all-terrain rubber outsole. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. It is also highly durable meaning no matter what you throw at it, the NXIS EVO will perform time and time again. This high-traction rubber promotes grip on a multitude of surfaces while delivering the durability you need to go the distance. Completing the outsole are 4mm multi-directional lugs that provide meaningful traction on tough terrain. The lugs dig into the ground, anchoring you in place. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
