The KEEN.DRY membrane is breathable, so your feet stay comfortable even during high-output activities. The removable PU footbed can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed. Speed hooks allow quick lacing adjustments on the go. For best results, treat the leather regularly with a suitable conditioner.
