Keen

KEEN has been making original hybrid footwear since 2003 when they first designed their very first shoe - the Newport Sandal. It's still their best seller today. This family-owned business is based in Portland, Oregon, with offices in the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada.

But what does KEEN stand for? Perhaps we can find our answer in the KEEN Effect. The KEEN Effect is a dedicated team of individuals at their company who guide responsible manufacturing, advocacy, and philanthropy efforts as they strive to leave the world a better place than they found it. After all, making shoes has an impact on the environment, and KEEN is dedicated to finding ways to minimize that impact: from upcycling garbage, going PFA free, using cleaner leather from Leather Working-group certified tanneries, to having a transparent supply chain.

They also believe in supporting nonprofit partners that align with KEEN's values. Since 2003, they've donated 20 million dollars in cash and product donations to those who need it most.

So whether it is to support KEEN's causes or to try their stylish collections of shoes and sandals, try on a pair today.
