Kodiak, the 110-year-old Canadian footwear brand, is doubling down on the trails with more hiking styles for men and women in Spring 2022. The collection also furthers its “Built For What Matters” sustainability initiative, with more recycled materials used throughout the line.

“We got back to our brand roots in the outdoors with our men’s Skogan and Stave hikers last year, and it was a hit,” said Karen McSorley, senior brand manager. “We had always planned for a women’s hiker, and the new Kenosee checks all the boxes. It’s comfortable, lightweight and durable with great traction, built using a host of recycled materials.”

The Kenosee features a mesh upper made from 50 percent recycled plastic, combined with waterproof suede and nylon. A lightweight compression-molded EVA midsole and Kodiak’s Comfortzone ECO footbed keep feet dry and comfortable with minimal environmental impact. The Kenosee includes Kodiak’s slip-resistant rubber outsole, linings and shoelaces made from 100 percent recycled plastics, and abrasion and scuff resistant TecTuff toe and heel guard. The Kenosee is available in mid- and low-cut. There will also be a men’s mid version called the Selkirk.

The Brigden, an athletic-inspired, low-top sneaker for women features a 50 percent recycled plastic mesh upper, 100 percent recycled plastic laces and Kodiak’s Comfortzone ECO footbed. Kodiak’s slip-resistant rubber outsole provides traction and ScotchguardTM Protector from 3M repels water, oil and stains,

Adding to Kodiak’s safety line is the Quicktrail and Greb collection. The Quicktrail contains 50 percent recycled plastic abrasion-resistant nylon upper and 100 percent recycled plastic laces, scuff-resistant toe protector and heel guard, and a Comfortzone LITE footbed built from Ortholite HybridTM compound.  

The Greb boot, named after the original co-founder of Kodiak, Charles E. Greb, is a multi-purpose safety boot built with a full-grain leather upper and padded tongue with a comfort collar, a moisture-wicking Cambrelle lining, a ComfortzoneTM LITE footbed with Ortholite Hybrid compound, and slip and oil resistant TPU outsole. The Greb boot is available in 6- and 8-inch styles.
