What happens here
At the Keen factory, an expert disassembles a Keen Utility boot to reveal its internal components. He shows the different layers, including a full-length thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plate, which acts as a shank to provide torsional rigidity and stability. This internal structure helps support the foot, especially on uneven surfaces, while maintaining comfort with the surrounding EVA material.
Goal: Understand the internal components and construction of Keen Utility boots.
