Keen launches its lightest sandal to date

27/02/2012
Outdoor footwear brand Keen has launched what it calls its most lightweight and technically advanced sandal to date. The new sandal,  the Turia, weighs just over 500 grammes.

It has a quick-drying, supple polyester and mesh upper, lined with breathable air mesh, and features an active heel lock for a secure fit and stability. Keen says the midsole technology, based on its proprietary S3 system, in the new sandal is usually only reserved for top-end hiking boots and trail-running shoes. It delivers shock absorption, stability and suspension for high levels of cushioning and protection under the heel.

The Turia also features Keen’s water traction outsole to help the wearer cope with wet and slippery surfaces.
