With an adapted curve angle and KEEN.CURVE® tech tuned specifically for casual walking, the new WK500 Leather (£130), has been designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and performance for fall and winter strolls.  Seamlessly transitioning from work to workout, these versatile shoes are ideal for travel, leisure or fitness on the go. Constructed with KEEN’s contoured Fit that hugs the foot securely when in motion, the WK500 is a great introductory model to the KEEN.CURVE® experience (with a more modest curve than the original WK400 or WK400 II models), offering increased stability alongside incredible cushioning, smooth transition and enhanced comfort wherever you roam. PFAs free and consciously constructed with an environmentally preferred premium leather upper (sourced from a LWG certified tannery for cleaner water),  a breathable mesh lining keeps feet fresh with a padded tongue and collar giving enhanced comfort straight from the box.  A removable, foam insole and high-rebound foam cushioning provide long-lasting comfort under foot. A KEEN ALL.TERRAIN  provides high traction grip on a range of surfaces, with KEEN’s Eco Anti-Odor delivering natural odor control without the use of any chemical nasties.
