Women's Hiking Shoes & Trainers

Find the perfect balance of durability, comfort, and style with KEEN’s women’s hiking shoes & trainers.

How Do I Choose the Right Women's Hiking Shoes?

Consider your typical hiking terrain, waterproof needs, and fit preferences. KEEN’s Original Fit offers ample toe room and secure support. Waterproof membranes and durable soles ensure protection and traction for various trail conditions. Browse our full women’s shoe collection to find your perfect match.

The key difference lies in their intended use and construction. KEEN hiking shoes are specifically designed for rugged outdoor environments - they provide enhanced traction with multi-directional lugs, waterproof protection through KEEN.DRY membranes, and extra stability for uneven terrain. Regular walking shoes, on the other hand, prioritize lightweight comfort and cushioning for flat, urban surfaces, without the specialized features needed for hiking challenges.

The multi-directional lug outsole pattern is thoughtfully engineered to deliver excellent grip on wet rocks, loose dirt, and uneven surfaces. This enhanced traction helps maintain stability and prevents slips, giving you confidence whether you’re hiking challenging trails or walking on city paths.
