Discontinued gear deals at REI usually mean one thing: great shoes at prices you don’t normally see. Right now, the Keen Hightrail EXP Waterproof hiking shoes are just $104.93, marked down from $150. Some sizes have sold out, but most are still available, for now.
Keen’s Hightrail waterproof hiking shoes are built for hikers who want comfort, dry feet, and versatility more than a heavy boot. Think weekend hikes, misty morning walks, or even a rainy-day commute when you don’t want to soak your socks.
They have that Keen balance of sturdy grip underfoot and everyday wearability, making these shoes just as at home on city sidewalks as on muddy trails. One REI shopper even noted these shoes kept their feet dry even while they hiked through waterfalls.
The Keen Hightrail EXPs are made with Keen waterproofing, ripstop mesh uppers with TPU overlays, and all-terrain rubber outsoles for grip. At about 1 lb. 11.5 oz. per pair, they’re light for a waterproof shoe, with a contoured fit, high-rebound foam cushioning, and odor control treatment to keep your feet smelling fresh, no matter how hard you go on the trail.
If you’ve been hunting for a hiking shoe that can do double duty — trail and travel, outdoors and everyday — this is a deal worth jumping on. With fall hikes and cooler, wetter weather ahead, they’re a smart pick for staying comfortable without overpacking. For less than $105, the Hightrail EXP delivers Keen’s reliable comfort and protection in a discontinued model that won’t be around for long.
