Meticulously engineered to promote and deliver the most fluid and efficient stride, KEEN’s WK family of walking shoes has been loved by fans across the globe since its acclaimed debut in 2023. Powered by KEEN’s ground breaking, patented KEEN.CURVE® technology – a unique tooling combining an ingenious constant curve geometry, full length underfoot plate and high-energy midsole cushioning – each step in these shoes is a natural accelerator of lower leg movement. Designed to promote propulsion and a distinctive sense of forward motion, walking simply feels like rolling.

Bringing renewed energy for SS25 KEEN debut the WK400 II (£140). Elevated for improved comfort and performance, a generous 31mm toe spring gives an exceptionally smooth and easy transition from heel strike through to toe off, promoting efficiency and conserving energy for an effortless ride. A 10mm last drop between heel and forefoot further promotes forward momentum in your gait, whilst aiding stability and preventing the wearer from rocking backward. The distinct sensation of forward momentum is accentuated due to the WK400’s ingenious design, so your regular walking terrain will be traversed with ease and speed. It’s an ideal tool for fitness walking with the curve specifically tuned for those looking to put a pep in their walking pace.

With refreshed upper aesthetics featuring an athletic design with striking graphic detail running through the upper to the outsole, the WK400 II is equipped with an engineered performance mesh upper with overlays for durability. A neat two-finger webbing loop on the heel allows for quick and easy on and off when you are on the hoof. High rebound foam cushioning underfoot enhances comfort and natural movement, with KEEN’s contoured fit allowing for a comfortably snug and secure fit. A removable foam insole gives long lasting cushioning, whilst a padded tongue and collar ensure enhanced comfort straight from the box. PFAs free, and featuring a  breathable mesh lining  with KEEN’s Eco Anti Odor treatment, feet stay dry and smelling sweet even on the warmest days without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides.  Designed with a wide outsole platform to optimise stability, a high traction outsole with multi-directional lugs ensures optimum traction on footpath or pavement.   Choose from a timeless, star white issue or add a pop of colour with zesty Primrose option in the men’s specific edition or mouth watering Daiquri Green edition in the women’s specific fit.

With an adapted curve angle and KEEN.CURVE® tech tuned specifically for more casual walking, the new WK500 (£110), has been designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and performance, seamlessly transitioning from work to workout, making them ideal for walking, 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 WK400 II), offering increased stability alongside incredible cushioning, smooth transition and enhanced comfort for summer wanderings. PFAs free and constructed with a performance mesh upper, a breathable mesh lining keeps feet cool.  A removable, foam insole and high-rebound foam cushioning provide long-lasting comfort under foot. A higher-traction rubber outsole with a multi-directional lug pattern provides reliable traction on a range of terrains, with KEEN’s Eco Anti-Odor delivering natural odor control with no chemical nasties all season long.
