For all the amazing things that humans can do—build skyscrapers, fly to the moon, write Monty Python’s The Quest for the Holy Grail—our bodies don’t always cooperate with us. That’s because, for the most part, our physical capabilities haven’t really changed much in the past few thousand years.
But the built environment around us has changed—especially the ground we walk on. All that concrete can make even the simplest of human endeavors, walking, into a painful chore.
The answer to that problem lies with another invention, as epitomized by Keen’s WK400 Walking Shoe. The shoe’s unique and patent-pending curved sole design turns every step into a gentle rolling motion, taking full advantage of all the muscles of your lower legs to power each stride. Paired with a full-length nylon plate for stability and a high-traction rubber outsole, that makes the WK400 an absolute joy to rack up the miles on.
