While there are sports that require very specific footwear, the main requirements of outdoor adventure shoes are comfort, support and stability. The Keen women’s Versatrail waterproof shoe has lightweight, flexible support, plus a dual-density foot bed that helps absorb shock — so you can stay out all day. The bungee lacing system adjusts easily for the right fit, and you can stomp through the rain and puddles without worry because the waterproof membrane keeps liquid out. If you’re on a more hard-core adventure — perhaps one like glacier hiking, which needs snug-fitting shoes and crampons — you might keep these for afterward.
