From Backcountry Outlet:
"Slip on the KEEN Men's Ochoco Waterproof Trail Running Shoe and hit the trail with the newest and coolest technology. eVENT fabric keeps your tootsies dry while allowing your body heat to escape as a vapor instead of condensing and turning your feet into a sweaty mess. These KEEN shoes also keep your feet stink-free with an AEGIS Microbe Shield, which controls bacteria and fungi. Take on the rockiest trails with these trail runners as the S3 Heel Support Structure minimizes shock and reduces the chance of a twisted ankle. After you slog through the muddiest trails, you can throw these shoes in the machine they won't miss a beat."
From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS . Keen's waterproof Ochoco trail shoes must have been designed for the varied terrain of Oregon's rugged mountains of the same name. Lightweight, versatile construction makes them good for either hiking or trail running, with a waterproof breathable eVENT membrane, S3 heel stability and support, and semi-directional lugs in the carbon rubber outsoles for superior traction. Asymmetrical lace design Protective toe and heel rands Pull-on loops Removable EVA footbeds Synthetic uppers Weight: 2 lb. pr. Medium width CLOSEOUTS . China."
From EMS:
"With groundbreaking eVENT Dry System waterproofing technology, S3 heel support, and a Quindensity midsole, the hybrid Keen Ochoco Shoes are all about providing the outstanding stability of a trail shoe with the cushioning of a street shoe. From the trailhead to the summit, tackle unpredictable terrain and prevent injuries in comfort. Designed for trail running and fast hiking with ultralight loads. Air Flow micro filament synthetic mesh upper with waterproof, breathable eVENT membrane keeps feet drier and more comfortable by allowing sweat to pass directly through the fabric as vapor (so it never condenses or soaks you in sweat). Free Flex asymmetrical lace design contours to the foot and flexes with the midsole, providing pinch-free forefoot flex for miles and miles. New Quindensity midsole technology cradles the foot for long runs on uneven terrain by allowing free flex during toe-off and maximizing sensitivity underfoot while providing forefoot protection. S3 Heel Support engineered to anchor the heel and support the foot on impact by dissipating shock and reducing the chance of twisted ankles. Nonmarking carbon rubber outsole. Vegan (no animal-based materials)."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Whether you're training or competing, on the trail stability is everything. Keen's Ochoco Waterproof shoe emphasizes stability without compromising on all-weather comfort. That's because unlike other trail running shoe manufacturers who opt for using the same waterproof membranes found on practically every running shoe on the market, Keen's Ochoco took a route less traveled with a new eVENT membrane fabric with Dry System Technology for better breathable comfort in wet weather. The difference is one that you can feel--most waterproof/breathable technologies require that perspiration condenses to moisture before it can pass through the membrane. eVENT membrane fabric allows sweat to pass through in vapor form, so your feet don't feel soaked in sweat like you would in other weatherproof trail running shoes. The heel of the Ochoco features Keen's S3 heel support structure, a special shock-absorbing design that's engineered to support your foot on impact, minimizing your chances of twisting an ankle on rolling terrain. You'll also find Keen's Quindensity midsole, a new chassis design that allows considerable flex during toe-off without compromising forefoot protection. Combine the flex along the sole with the free-flex asymmetrical lace up top and you'll find that the Ochoco bends where you need it without leaving you feeling exposed. This is comfort you'll appreciate every step of the way."

Anyhoo, the shoe has excellent support. The last trail running shoes I had were NB and I am much more impressed with the Keen Ochoco. It has much better support for the trail."
