Comfort, stability and ventilation dominate the Keen Bend cross-trainer while its approach-inspired design appeals to the senses.
- Nubuck leather uppers with nylon mesh underlays offer ample durability, flexibility and breathability for comfort on the go
- Asymmetrical lace to toe design flexes well through the midsole while locking feet to footbeds for increased support
- Webbing pull loop at heel allows easy entry/exit; padded tongue breathes nicely and relieves any lace pressure
- Nylon linings help absorb and disperse excess moisture for fast drying when you need it most
- Patented rubber toe bumpers protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion
- Rubber rands wrap around shoes above midsoles for even more abrasion protection
- Removable Metatomical™ EVA footbeds are custom shaped to provide ample cushioning and arch support; can accommodate orthotics
- Compression-molded EVA midsoles offer shock-absorption and padding for all-day comfort
- Full-length nylon plates provide torsional stability and protection from uneven and rocky terrain
- Non-marking carbon-rubber outsoles with aggressive 4mm multi-directional lugs for long-wearing durability and superb terrain bite
Imported.

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
Fantastically comfortable, I've worn these shoes almost every day since I purchased them. Traction in outdoor conditions is good and they treat my feet well during a good hike. They look cool too.

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
Excellent Shoe. Recently purchased on a trip to Middle East. Shoe fit great and very comfortable. The Keen toe cup is great and adds alot of durability to the shoe. They wear well. I'm currently debating wether to get another pair or try a Keen boot. Overall very satisfied

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
These shoes are extremely comfortable and significantly lighter than my old Merrel Ventilators I used to think were lightweight. They vent pretty well although my feet still get hot (probably more due to me than the shoe). The inside portion of the shoe is a bit [...]ugly compared to the outside (shown in most pics online), so make sure you take a look before purchasing. I've used these for day hikes around AZ, in caves, and all around town. Great traction, comfort, and utility. I am now a Keen fanboy.

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
I have been wearing shoes for over 60 years, and struggled with foot pain since childhood. These shoes, with my custom orthotics in them, are perhaps the most comfortable I have ever experienced. Amazing!

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
I purchased these shoes about 18 months ago and they've been the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Sure, some may think they are ugly as sin (my fiance) but I have worn them almost every day since I bought them. I've had a few problems with my feet in my life because I spent so much time abusing them walking barefoot and in flip-flops and other shoes with hardly any soles. It gets to the point now that if I wear other shoes for a while, I have to switch back to the Keens until my feet recover and I can walk without pain again. I work in outdoor environments all of the time, and I'm on my feet all day, so these have been perfect. These shoes have been around the world with me, to the Middle East and Africa on 4-5 different trips, and back and forth across the States numerous times. I will be buying a pair of Keen boots, a pair of Keen casual shoes, and eventually, replacing these with some new low-top hikers, when they finally don't make it home from a trip.

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
I've had these for two weeks now, and the most striking thing to me about this pair of shoes is the fact that they felt as broken in as my old running shoes from Day 1. I've done two hour hikes in these shoes, with no problems. I use them on my 17-mile round-trip cycling commute, no problems.
Can't speak to durability yet, but they seem very well put together. They are a little heavier than my running shoes, but what wouldn't be? Perfect for what I needed, these will be my all-purpose shoes from October through May, until I go back to my Keen sandals for the summer!

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
I have a high instep and wear orthodics in my shoes. With my Keen Bend, I don't need to since the shoe conforms to my foot. It's extremely comfortable and I can wear the shoes all day. I bought them when I was on vacation and I wore them everyday. Usually when I wear shoes or sneakers and do a lot of walking, by the end of the day my feet hurt. But after wearing Keen Bend shoes my feet never bothered me. I work in the computer industry and we do 12 hour shift for new installs. I usually end up walking to each user station during the 12 hour shift and my feet hurt when I am done. But with the Keen's, my feet dont' bother me. These are great shoes!!

Comments about Keen Bend Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:
Like all Keen shoes, this one is very comfortable. Unfortunately, Keen sizing varies a lot from shoe to shoe, but this one fits me perfectly. Plenty of room in the forefoot. I've been using them mostly for trail running...a lot of runners would probably consider them too heavy, but it's absolutely worth it for the comfy fit (I find most running shoes too tight). I've only had them a few months, so it's too early to judge durability. Initially, I wasn't happy with the bright orange accents, but I'm used to it now. Very cushy midsole. Haven't tried them in the wet. Probably not enough torsional rigidity for carrying more than a day pack. Seems like a good all around shoe.

Unique style attracted to this shoe. It's unlike the ordinary look of trail shoes. Great feel, but the nylon webing gets dirty pretty quick.

I have a pair of the women's version of these shoes and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. They were comfortable right from the beginning. I can't recommend these highly enough!!
