Ortholite: Ortholite comfort foam insoles provides out-of-the-box comfort for longer than any footbed, thanks to a special open cell polyurethane that retains 95% of its cushioning after the first year, far exceeding the 30% offered by the traditional EVA footbeds. The open cell structure also let air pass through, which allows odour- and blister- causing moisture to evaporate. And as a finishing touch, an environmentally friendly biocide is added to combat microbes.

AEGIS Microbe Shields: While some anti-microbial treatments block odour, Aegis takes a more aggressive approach, with an onslaught of polymer spikes that rupture the cell walls of odour producing microbes that stops odour in its track. Unlike chemiclas that can wear down or produce resistant super bacteria, Aegis never wears out, won't leech out despite repeated washings, and won't harm the environment.
Vibram: Keen proudly equip nearly all their multi-sport and hiking shoes with Vibram outsoles for two reasons. First, no company does a better job of creating lug patterns that provide stability in all conditions, with no lugs placed under the arch, so your foot flexes more naturally for greater comfort. Second, they've created two advanced rubber compound- Trek and TC5+ - that provides sure traction on both wet and dry surfaces in even the most extreme temperatures.
