KEEN<br />
NXIS EVO WP £140<br />
We’ve been mooching about over vale and hill<br />
in this for a couple of months now and it is<br />
a seriously impressive all-terrain shoe.<br />
It offers the extra toe room and<br />
protection the brand is known<br />
for, but with enhanced<br />
all-terrain grip and<br />
really stunning<br />
underfoot comfort.<br />

eco-friendly as possible, with a<br />
recycled inner lining and upper,<br />
and a waterproof membrane<br />
made from both post- and<br />

It’s also lightweight<br />
and really comfy.<br />

easy hiking – and it’s eco-conscious<br />
too. 100% PFC-free and made in<br />
Europe with a fully traceable<br />
supply chain, it’s<br />
looking like a<br />
real winner for<br />
<strong>summer</strong> walks.<br />
