Conçue pour fléchir plus facilement
Technologie KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX
Notre nouvelle flexion intégrée réduit la résistance en se pliant là où les autres bottes se fissurent et se dégradent avec le temps.
Hiking innovation for easier days on the trail
Keeping fans comfortable on the trail is #1 for us. The way we see it, the happier you are out there, the longer you’ll stay out there.
That’s why we’ve been creating out-of-the-box hiking comfort since 2005, and our iconic Targhee hiker has been a bestseller ever since. It’s built to last using environmentally preferred leather that minimizes water and chemical use for less impact on the planet.
But we started to wonder if we could do more — an idea sparked after taking a closer look at where hiking boots wear out first: right where they bend. What if we could help our boots bend easier?
That’s the magic of bellows and our new KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX technology. When the foot is in motion, there’s a critical moment when the foot compresses and we roll onto our toes. This area of the forefoot also happens to be where boots fail after years of heavy use. By adding our accordion-like bellows to that friction point, KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX moves with you. It flexes easier and lasts longer.

Ridge Flex with KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX: We took the trusted fit and stability of our iconic hiker and added KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX in the forefoot and heel to create a waterproof hiking boot that flexes with every toe roll and ankle articulation. When flex-tested against similar boots in the hiking category, the Ridge Flex with KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX in the forefoot and heel required 60% less energy to bend. The result: a more efficient stride that feels easier. It’s a rugged leather hiker that doesn’t feel stiff — great for those who want to go farther on thru hikes and day hikes. Available in men’s and women’s sizing as a hiking shoe or hiking boot. Shop the Ridge Flex collection.
Tempo Flex with KEEN BELLOWS FLEX: Friction reduces speed. So we minimized it. By adding KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX technology in the forefoot of our lightweight hiker, we created a waterproof hybrid hiker sneaker that flexes with your foot – for less resistance with every step. It’s designed for those who want to make a quick hike more of a workout. It’s fast and light with a recycled P.E.T. performance ripstop mesh upper, and a more secure, contoured fit, so you can move swiftly with confidence. Available in men’s and women’s sizing as a low hiker sneaker or with the added protection of a boot. Shop the Tempo Flex collection.

Choisissez votre coupe
Deux façons d’agrémenter vos randonnées avec KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX : La coupe originale de notre chaussure de randonnée populaire ou la coupe profilée de notre espadrille de randonnée rapide et légère.
Nouvelle chaussure de randonnée Ridge Flex
Nous nous sommes inspirés de la coupe et de la stabilité reconnues de notre chaussure de randonnée la plus populaire, et avons ajouté la technologie KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX. Une flexion plus facile, une randonnée plus agréable.
Nouvelle espadrille de randonnée Tempo Flex
La friction réduit la vitesse. Nous l’avons donc minimisée. Avec la technologie KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX à l’avant-pied, notre espadrille de randonnée hybride suit vos mouvements.
DERRIÈRE LA CONCEPTION
Envie de randonnées d’apparence plus facile?
La randonnée moyenne comporte entre 6 336 et 10 560 pas. Nous nous sommes demandé si nous pouvions éliminer une partie de la friction, afin que chaque pas nécessite moins d’énergie lors du pliage. C’est là que la magie des soufflets entre en jeu.
