Keen Jasper Nylon Waterproof Shoes

The Keen Jasper Nylon Waterproof Shoes in Canteen/Canteen deliver a high performance, weather resistant solution for wet weather trail hiking, approach climbing, and rugged urban commuting. Merging the iconic toe to the front silhouette of Keen’s classic Jasper climber with advanced waterproof engineering and tough textile materials, these shoes provide exceptional structural longevity and all day dry comfort. They actively solve the problem of traditional suede or leather shoes becoming soaked, heavy, and waterlogged during unexpected downpours, offering a robust, fully sealed alternative that keeps your feet protected on any terrain.

Key Features

• KEEN.DRY Waterproof Membrane: Engineered with a proprietary waterproof, breathable membrane that locks out external rain and puddles while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
• High-Tensile Nylon Upper: Constructed from a heavy duty, abrasion resistant woven nylon fabric that provides lightweight durability and rapid drying times compared to traditional suede.
• Monochromatic Canteen Finish: Finished in a versatile, military inspired Canteen olive drab colourway across the entire upper, lacing, and protective rand.
• Climbing-Inspired Lacing: Features an eyelet to toe tongue lacing system that allows you to fully customise the tension and security across the entire foot profile.
• High-Traction Eco-Rubber Outsole: Built with a low profile, multi directional lug pattern utilising non marking rubber for dependable traction on loose dirt, wet gravel, and slick rock surfaces.
• Contoured Cushioning: Engineered with a resilient, shock absorbing midsole and a removable PU insole that delivers continuous arch support and underfoot protection.

Ideal For

• Wet weather hiking, rainy city commuting, outdoor approaches, and traveling in unpredictable climates.
• Gorpcore and outdoor lifestyle enthusiasts looking for technical, waterproof adaptations of heritage outdoor footwear designs.
• Pairing effortlessly with waterproof shell trousers, technical cargo shorts, or rugged outdoor outerwear.

Fit and Sizing Recommendations

• The Keen Jasper Nylon Waterproof runs true to standard sneaker sizing, offering a secure, locked in feel through the heel and midfoot.
• True to Keen's outdoor DNA, the toe box is slightly wider than average, allowing your toes to splay naturally during long descents or heavy walking.
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your standard size, or sizing up by a half size if you prefer extra room for heavy-gauge technical hiking socks.

Cleaning and Care Instructions

• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high spin cycles and heat can damage the internal waterproof membrane.
• Allow mud to dry completely, then use a soft bristled brush or damp cloth with lukewarm water to gently wipe away trail grime.
• For tough stains, use a mild, non detergent soap; never apply harsh household chemical solvents or bleaching agents.
• Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or radiators, and treat the textile periodically with a DWR water proofing spray to maintain water beading performance.
