KEEN: Footwear with a Conscience

The KEEN company was founded in the USA in 2003. Its first major success was the development of a sandal with integrated toe protection. Their philosophy is to support everyone who creates, plays, and cares for the environment—people who are not indifferent to the world around them.

Innovative Technologies

Many models are equipped with specialized technological features, such as:

• KEEN.PROTECT: Signature toe protection.
• KEEN.DRY: A waterproof and breathable PU membrane.
• ECO ODOR CONTROL: Natural antimicrobial technology.
• KEEN.WARM: Specialized insulation for winter footwear.

Commitment to the Planet

For KEEN, the environmental impact of footwear production is a top priority. It isn't just about plastic in the oceans; it’s also about the chemicals used in manufacturing that can pose long-term health risks to workers.

KEEN has already eliminated over 4,700 harmful chemicals from its production process. They continue to search for safer alternatives, testing and improving their methods every day.
