KEEN Mission

We’re not here to just make shoes

When we started KEEN in 2003, we said we'd do things differently. We'd bring people together, look out for each other, and take care of our planet. That's why we're in business. We just happen to make really good shoes.

We make shoes to make a difference

We're reducing the impact our shoes have on the planet and making the outside and the trades more accessible for all. We call it the "KEEN Effect."

This Is How We Consciously Create
