Women's KEEN NXIS Explorer Mid – Waterproof Trail-to-Town Boot
KEEN Women’s NXIS Explorer Mid Waterproof – Hike in Style. Live in Comfort.
Most lightweight hiking boots are built for the trail—and look the part. The Women’s KEEN NXIS Explorer Mid Waterproof dares to do both: trail-ready performance with everyday style. Designed for the modern explorer, this versatile boot transitions seamlessly from mountain hikes to meetups with friends, offering heritage hiking DNA wrapped in a sleek, leather silhouette.
Crafted with environmentally preferred premium nubuck leather from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, the NXIS Explorer is not only durable but consciously made. KEEN’s KEEN.DRY waterproof, breathable membrane keeps feet dry without overheating, while the PFAS-free water repellent finish provides added protection against the elements.
A high-rebound EVA midsole cushions each step for smooth strides across city streets or rocky trails, and the KonnectFit heel-capture system locks your foot in for added stability. Underfoot, the KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN rubber outsole with 4mm multi-directional lugs delivers reliable traction—even on steep or uneven terrain.
