When you are out walking or hiking, the goal is to feel like you are being propelled forward by your shoes, rather than feeling heavy underfoot. Key to that propulsion are shoes that are light and designed with a curved heel, so your foot naturally moves forward. Hello, Keen's 450 DIRT WP walking shoes.
Aside from Hoka, a go-to brand for many runners, a company that is synonymous with curved design is Keen. They sit among the best walking shoes thanks to the unique construction, using what's known as 'Keen.Curve' - the brand's technology, designed to deliver a fluid and efficient stride.
