Funny how this one radical departure for sandals inspired an overriding philosophy for KEEN; hybrid products that allow consumers to connect with the outdoors in its entirety. It is also the catalyst for the initial brand value, hybrid innovation. A commitment to innovation that inspires us in everything we do. It is what KEEN was founded on and continues to be the one core value that fuels growth at KEEN.

KEEN is committed to considering the effects of each choice we make when designing our footwear, developing our packaging and creating our environments. In short, KEEN doesn’t react, KEEN creates.

From the coastline to the mountains, from the city streets to the desert and all of those places in between that are like nowhere else. KEEN products are designed to enhance every outdoor adventure.

The KEEN definition of the outdoors doesn’t end with where our products take you. KEEN believes the outdoor crowd is a global community of people trying to balance the things that matter most. KEEN is inspired by the woman hanging from the sheer rock face, but we are even more inspired by the trainers, friends, peers and supporters who helped get her there.

KEEN is more than an outdoor company. We strive to be a company with a conscience, by making a positive difference, giving back to the greater community and caring for the environment which we all share and depend on. We also believe in the power of a brand to inspire others to create positive change in the world we live in.

Inspired by the effects of the Tsunami disaster in 2004, KEEN has dedicated both time and financial resources to social and environmental organizations actively working towards the greater good. This action is what launched Hybrid.Care. It’s about how we affect change. And what we choose to make a priority.
