Description

Product Overview

KEEN’s Hightrail line brings the brand’s renowned outdoor performance to young adventurers. Constructed from Leather Working Group certified leather, each pair offers a sturdy yet flexible upper that resists abrasion and stands up to the elements. The KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane lets moisture escape while keeping water out, ensuring dry feet in rain or snow. Inside, the LuftCell midsole incorporates micro‑air pockets that compress and rebound with every step, delivering lightweight cushioning that never feels heavy. A high‑traction rubber outsole with 4 mm multi‑directional lugs provides secure footing on rocky paths, muddy trails, and uneven terrain. The stability shank adds under‑foot support without sacrificing flexibility, making these shoes perfect for active children who love to explore.
