Sandals don’t likely come to mind as the most ideal footwear for hiking, but we should consider for centuries in hot regions sandals were actually the de facto shoes. The Romans wore sandals and built an empire with its soldiers in this footwear and that was before building those roads.
Today technology has improved upon the basic sandal and the KEEN Turias are those would be ideal for a walk to hell and back. Designed for hiking, on the beach or sailing the Turia is a warm-weather sandal that features dual density compression molded EVA midsole with ESS stability shank, active heel lock and supportive synthetic airmesh upper. The metatomical EVA molded footbed offers microbe shield for a comfortable fit and will reduce odors after a long walk. The Ageis microbe shield will control bacteria and fungi and cause odors, stains and product deterioration, while the water traction rubber compound with razor siping will ensure a steady step on the trail or boat.
