BEST FOOT FORWARDKEEN Bringing Flexy Back with Women’s Specific Terradora Flex For AW22 KEEN are delighted to introduce a new member of their fan favourite Terradora sisterhood – the Terradora Flex – a super versatile, women’s specific hiker that marries the legendary comfort of the Terradora with KEEN’s award-winning BELLOWS.FLEX technology.With light as air cushioning this progressive ‘sneaker hiker’ has been developed to be as comfortable off the trail and in urban environments as it is on your favourite climbs and pathways. The addition of the accordion like KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX technology to the flex point of the forefoot enables hikers to move with less effort, leading to easier days on the trail and many more miles of comfortable performance during outdoor adventures. When tested against similar boots in the hiking category, KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX hikers on average required 60% less energy to bend, contributing to increased efficiency and comfort with each step and less wear on the boot in this critical area.Designed to provide peak performance on even the toughest terrains, the Terradora Flex features a brand-new outsole, featuring aggressive multi directional lugs and a slightly stiffer outsole with internal shank that is ready to tackle whatever the trail throws your way. A lightweight air injected foam in the midsole cushions with every step, whilst a contoured fit follows the natural shape of the foot to provide a secure and reassuringly snug fit and feel. Boasting the same blueprint of flawless fit and superb support found throughout the entire Terradora line, the Terradora Flex has been designed specifically for a women’s anatomy. A lower collar height encourages freedom of movement and a dynamic fit whilst an additional cushioned panel to the heel gives comfort out of the box and reduces pressure on the Achilles.Designed to perform in all conditions, a performance mesh upper with TPU overlays provide incredible durability and feature a KEEN.DRY waterproof and breathable membrane to protect in all weathers. A speed hooking lacing system with adaptable top collar hooks ensures a comfortably snug fit, whilst an underfoot stability shank provides lightweight yet reliable protection when moving at speed. As always, KEEN innovates without compromising its values, with the Terradora Flex consciously created with PFC-free water repellency with zero toxins and featuring pesticide-free insoles for natural odor control. Going the extra mile for sustainability, the Terradora Flex has been built using an innovative direct attach method, negating the use of harmful glues or solvents.
