This boot screams “get up and go” despite the beefed-up build that repels geologic anomalies (rocks) and reptilian encounters (snakes).  Testers found the boot suitable for day hikes as well as backpacking trips— the Durand’s stability, cushioning and waterproofing came into play across varied terrain.

A noteworthy lacing system tops dual-density footbeds. The integrated poly heel cushions personalize fit while dampening the effect of jarring topography.  As with other Keen models, the Durand’s materials and construction push past competitive models.  A padded tongue and resilient toe rand complete the package
