Portland-based American footwear and accessories company [Keen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uneek-loafer-wk) has expanded its lineup in time for the cold weather with the introduction of the 'NEEK SNK CHUKKA WP' silhouette.

Lightweight, [waterproof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hencroft-madi-waterproof-boots), and durable, the mid-cut boots boasts adjustable bands for a snug and comfortable fit, grippy rubber outsoles for traction in winter conditions, [recycled fiber uppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keen-uneek-360), and cozy sherpa inner linings. The style comes in three distinct colorways: gray and black, beige and cream, and black and red. Wearers can further adjust the look of the boots by experimenting with the cords that lay over top of the uppers, which they can extend and swap out for different colors.

Keen's NEEK SNK CHUKKA WP is available from its web store, where a pair retails for approximately $150 USD.
