The KEEN Men's Explore WP (Waterproof) is a hybrid outdoor shoe designed as a cross between a lightweight trail sneaker and a functional hiking boot. It is engineered for fast-paced day hikes, travel, and casual urban commuting where weather protection is needed.
Key Specifications & Performance Features
Waterproofing: Built with a proprietary KEEN.DRY membrane. This breathable layer keeps water out while allowing sweat and internal moisture to escape.
Upper Materials: Constructed using a performance mesh upper reinforced with lightweight Thermal Polyplastic Urethane (TPU) overlays for structural durability.
Traction: Equipped with a KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN rubber outsole featuring 4mm multi-directional lugs to grip mud, loose rock, and uneven surfaces.
Stability & Cushioning: Features an EVA midsole for impact absorption, a stability shank for torsion control, and a radial support system for structural lateral stability.
Lockdown Fit: Uses a KonnectFit heel-capture system. This configuration pulls the heel securely back into the heel pocket when you lace up, preventing slippage and blisters.
Insole: Includes a removable, dual-density polyurethane (PU) footbed with built-in arch support.
