KEEN Impact

Making a KEEN Effect Since 2003

We envision a shoe industry that has a positive impact on lives, without having a negative impact on the planet.

We're taking action on climate and shifting to renewable energy, consciously creating our shoes, and investing in nonprofit partners around the world.
