Founded in 2003 in Portland, Oregon, KEEN Footwear revolutionized the outdoor footwear industry with a clear mission: to create versatile, durable, and ethically made products. The brand became iconic with its debut model, the Newport, a hybrid sandal with toe protection (the famous toe protection design), ideal for both hiking and water. "KEEN doesn't just create shoes for adventure; we create shoes that inspire people to live, work, and play in harmony with the outside world."
