Perfect for the summer, this new summer silhouette lets you easily move from rough terrain to the city landscape. Inspired by the marine ecosystem, this shoe is also intentionally designed to mimic the movement of high and low tides. Ideal for all of your summer adventures, this new shoe is a must-have for the season.

In their newest hybrid footwear, the Hyperport H2 Sandals, KEEN and Hiking Patrol combine aspects of your favorite sandals with climbing shoes to create a new summer design. Crafted with washable polyester webbing uppers and a quick-dry lining, this shoe can function in any environment with ease of mind. Features like the injected foam midsole and Aquagrip traction ensure extra comfort and grip in each step. For easy access, the adjustable bungee cords give users a simple way to take off or put on the shoe. Made to be a practical and simple summer shoe, this sandal is a must for adventurers looking to limit their bulk on their travels. Available in two colorways, Okenia Pink and Algae Green, these sandals can be purchased via the Hiking Patrol and KEEN web stores for $130.
