The KEEN brand, since designing its first shoe - the Newport sandal in 2003, has revolutionized the hybrid footwear market. The Newport sandal remains the brand's bestseller to this day, a testament to the long-term popularity and quality of KEEN products.
Many KEEN shoes are produced in the brand 's own factories, located in Portland, the Dominican Republic and Thailand. As one of the few global footwear brands with its own production facilities, KEEN places a high value on responsible manufacturing processes and quality. The company also works with factories in Cambodia, Vietnam, China, India and Europe, taking care to consciously and sustainably create products.
KEEN recognizes that footwear production has an impact on the environment, so the brand strives to minimize this impact and exceed industry standards. Every step in the supply chain is thought through, reflecting the brand's approach to product creation.
KEEN believes in the importance of collaboration and supporting nonprofit partners who act in accordance with the brand's values. The company is committed to the environment and the community, donating more than $20 million in cash and product donations and supporting access to nature through KEEN Effect programs. The “Consciously Created” approach is not just about making shoes, but also aboutconsciouslyworking to make a positive impact on the world.
