It’s time to get ready for spring and summer hiking, and REI’s massive outlet sale (happening now through April 28) is the perfect way to get outfitted without spending a fortune. Deals abound on trail-ready boots and other footwear, waterproof jackets, and even camping gear, too. But start with the basics: Right now, you can score a pair of sturdy Keen hiking boots for over 40% off—they’ll be a solid foundation for all your outdoor adventures this season and beyond.
Keen Nxis EVO Waterproof Hiking Boots are on sale for $106, a 44% discount from their normal price of $190. The discount is the product of two markdowns: An initial 30% discount, plus an additional 20% off that sale price. These boots are available in one color, Dark Olive/Gold Flame, and they have a wide size range available: 7 up to 14, including half sizes from 7.5 to 10.5, though we suspect they'll start to sell out soon.
Keen Nxis EVO Waterproof Hiking Boots in Dark Olive/Gold Flame, $106 (was $190) at REI
At just over 15 ounces per shoe, the Nxis EVO Waterproof Boots aren’t exactly lightweight (at least compared to trail shoes), but they do offer top-notch protection from the elements and a comfy overall feel. They’re made with a textile-based upper for improved breathability, while a DWR exterior finish and a built-in waterproof membrane prevent mud and splashes from soaking your feet. Inside, this boot is all about comfort: Padding around the tongue and ankle collar and a removable insole combine to create a plush feel, and a spacious toe box gives your toes room to spread out as you hike. On the bottom, the rubber outsole is studded with 4mm lugs for lockdown traction on dirt, gravel, rocks, and other off-pavement terrain types.
Shoppers report that the Nxis EVO boots live up to Keen’s reputation for quality. One reviewer called them “awesome” and “very, very comfortable.”
“Been wearing them every day since day one,” said another. “Had Danners before, but now I’m a Keen convert.” Another shopper honed in on the boot's fit. “I have several pairs of Keen shoes because they truly fit my feet like no other brand. They are well made, look great, and are a solid value.”
With their emphasis on comfort, protection, and grip, the Keen Nxis EVO Waterproof Boots will be reliable companions for your trail journeys this spring and beyond. And at just $106, they’re a rare chance to get top-quality footwear without spending a fortune (and that leaves room in your budget for other gear, like hiking pants). Just act fast, because this price is only live until April 28.
