01 Harvest Materials

We try to take less from the planet by harvesting waste and upcycling it into comfortable KEEN footwear. Fewer resources, less garbage.

03 Detox The Planet

We’ve been PFAS-free since 2018, but eliminating these “forever chemicals” was just the start. Our goal is simple: Create footwear that is free of all toxic chemicals.

04 Make for Life

As shoemakers, we’ve always believed that the more durable, comfortable, and versatile a shoe is, the less you’ll need to replace it. Good for you, good for the planet.
